Hi again,
Since 6pm UTC today linuxaudio.org is hosted on a new server (actually a
VM).
Due to slowly failing hardware on the old machine were urged to perform
the migration ahead of schedule and were unable to send out a
notification about it beforehand.
The hosting is (still) provided by by the Virginia Tech, Department of
Music and Digital Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio. Many thanks to
Ico Bukvic. Daniel James takes care of DNS. and a big thanks to
Marc-Olivier Barre who manages the email services.
All systems go.

It works great for fixing my file. Faster than doing it manual too :-)
Something weird though, doing a diff between the file from
sndfile-salvage and the one I fixed using sox says that they both
differ.
The file size is identical, and the first 10MBs of the file is exactly
the same. But when I diff the hexdump from around the middle of the
file
I noticed something. There are blocks of 0001 80bf on the file fixed
using sndfile-salvage while the one I fixed using sox has blocks of
0000 80bf.
Since it's little endian it would be read (i think) 0xbf800000 and
0xbf800001, the difference on the mantissa is only 1, so I guess
there wouldn't be any difference soundwise. Just curious though how
come the two file differ that way.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help and for spending time to
make this utility.

I forgot to write the list but remembered for some reason just now.
The next Tunestorm is now underway.
The theme for this one is to create a composition that is made up entirely
of sounds from household items.
More information on this Tunestorm is available at
http://opensourcemusician.com/index.php/Tunestorm02
There is a FAQ about the theme there too.
Submissions should be sent in by May 8th at 12:00 UTC to
contributions(a)opensourcemusician.com
I hope you will take the opportunity to participate in this community
project to expand the way we think about composition. The purpose of
Tunestorm is to woodshed a shared composition idea and not share our
process until the end where we reveal everyone's tunes and their process.
It's a Uncompetition that is fun and friendly. There are no losers but
everyone who participates, and some that don't, are winners because we get
exposed to creative ways of solving the same types of problems we encounter
when working on out art.
Thanks for reading.

Dear mailing list users,
The list migration to the brand new virtual is complete and all the
problems seems to be fixed. As Robin told me when we were in the middle of
this panicky evening: "when we find what the problem is, we will all laugh
about it". Well, let me share the laughing with you:
It was just a typo !
Funny how trouble in the computer world eventually always turn out to be
an invisible typo in a configuration file :)
Enjoy your new server and post away !
Cheers,

Hi there,
I'm sorry to inform you that our email services are currently disrupted.
Due to increasing hardware problems with the linuxaudio.org server in
previous weeks we're already prepared a new machine. Another major outage
of linuxaudio.org this morning (UTC) forced us to switch to the new host
a bit early...
All services but for mailman (email-lists) are online and functional.
We're working on resolving the problem and will inform you about our
progress.

Which one should I get?
I know that the Delta 66 does not have MIDI, though
I already have a MIDISport 2x2.
I don't do any of the multi-track recording that
others on the list do. I just want to
send quality audio to my monitors, and transfer
analog recordings that I currently have to digital.
In the near future, I will want to record audio
with a microphone.
The break out box of the the Delta 66 seems like
it would help keep cable clutter to a minimum but
then the Audiophile 2496 is a new card isn't it,
and perhaps makes use of newer/better technology?
Thank you for listening to the naive questions.
Bristol now has a text based command line interface, the ability to completely
suppress any graphical user interface and if directed to do so from ./configure
then remove all dependencies on the X11 system. It is possible to open the
CLI and the GUI at the same time.
This was based on the discussions with Julien Claassen for accessiblity for blind
users.
The interface is based on the way VI works, there is an ':insert' mode where
commands can be given, and a separate ESC mode where the L/R cursor motion
keys will scan through the different synth parameters and U/D will change their
values.
The interface has search/complete features and keys can be remapped for a
selection of functions.
The Insert mode has command completion, 50 line history with command like
recall and editing, plus the ability to define aliases with multiple commands per
alias and some variable replacement so that complex directives can be simplified.
The :insert prompt can be configured to report useful data on the emulator.
All settings can be saved in the emulator profile for later recall, the process can
also be automated.
The code is available from sfdc, the changelog and news page describe the CLI
capabilities, perhaps a little haphazardly.
Regards, nick

This may well be a bit OT, but I would be grateful if someone could
point me in the direction of some reasonable quality sample packs (any
genres). There seem to be a lot of commercial packs across the
internet, some with pretty hefty pricetags, but as far as I can see,
most have no way of finding out what the quality is like before
buying. I don't have any objection to spending money if the samples
are good, and useful - I'm mostly interested in single-shot samples.
To my mind pre-bought loops are just a bit too lazy (even for me!).
Also, any pointers to good Free collections of samples? Most of the cc
stuff I've come across seem to be recordings of less than useful
things, such as sound in a cafe, coughing etc...

All,
Even though Qsynth's green light is flashign on each pas hit from the
Alesis Control Pad, barely a sound is coming out. Out of 20 hits maybe
one sound comes out and that's it (drum sound on channel 10 or any
other sound for that matter). On the other hand when connected to
Hydrogen, the Alesis Control Pad plays each single sound, complete with
velocity and all.
The pads from a M-Audio Axiom 25 keyboard works fine with Qsynth.
Why is this so ? Why does the Control Pad plays so so well with
Hydrogen but barely can emit a sound when connected to Qsynth/using
fluidsynth ? It'd be real nice to be able to use drumsticks in playing
some soundfonts !
Thanks for any suggestion/hint/idea,
Cheers.
Well, I did the test that someone suggested on this list: I set up a little PD patch to generate sine waves, and swept it up and down to determine the range of my hearing.
I was pleasantly (well sort of) surprised.
At very nearly age 44, the highest sound I can hear as an actual sound, when turned up really loud, is 18100Hz. Up to about 19Khz, I can get a really freakin huge headache from sounds, but won't be able to perceive them as sounds, just as OH-MY-GOD-MY-HEAD-HURTS-MAKE-IT-STOP!
At normal listening levels, around 16kHz is the maximum I can hear.
Still a good deal better than I expected.
