Greetings,
I rarely post here, because I am not in your league, technically speaking.
But I have not been able to read or write optical media since I upgraded
from Ubuntu Studio 8.04 to 9.10 some months ago. I have posted all over the
place, and filed a bug report in Launchpad (#544772), shown people all kinds
of terminal reports, loaded some kernel modules--sorry I can't document it
here, it's spread all over the place. In the end, still no drive.
Last weekend I did a fresh install of 10.04, just to see if anything
changed. The only difference is there is no longer even a menu item for CD
or DVD drives (though there is one for floppy drives[!]). I installed from
a DVD, and at first boot, the drive it had just installed from, no longer
existed as far as the system could tell. I can boot live CDs, and if I boot
generic Ubuntu from a flash drive, I can use the CD/DVD drive.
Can this be fixed, or is this just obsolete hardware? Is there a better
distro for this drive? What information do you folks need to help me figure
this out? I don't like having a multimedia production machine that can't
even play a CD, much less save projects to one.
Thanks,

Hello Mates!
Here's some funk I just recorded. the title is: "The Englishman" and it's
dedicated not to a, but the quirq, wo's anything but! Thanks for the help and
persistence you put into my lovely instrument!
Before I give you the link, I'd like to list the band setup:
Bass Clavinet: Julien
Rhythm Clavinet 1: Patrick
Rhythm Clavinet 2: Claassen
solo Clavinet; The Penguin
Drums & percussion: Just me
Heavily involved: A Hohner D6 Clav :-)
If this was a bad commercial I'd end the spot with: "Take a listen to the
song with the joke at the end". As it is not, I happily refrain from doing so.

Oh, before I forget: thanks to those, who assisted me in finding my
distortion. I chose the AmpVTS (Unique ID: 2592) from the CAPS plugins.
Kindly yours

Hi,
I am interested in using the Novation SL Mk II keyboard with my fedora
based linux system. The specs for the keyboard
(http://www.novationmusic.com/products/sl_mkii?option=1) say that the
USB port is not class compliant, that a driver is needed and is only
provided for Windows and MacOS.
Has anyone gotten this keyboard to work in Linux?
Is there a way, in general, to use a USB midi keyboard that is not class
compliant in Linux?
How about a way to do what the Windows/MacOS drivers do in Linux? Can
they be adapted somehow? Or do they require a new kernel module?
Thanks for any help! Cheers,
Michael Ost
I am certainly new here-and-maybe some of you can please suggest software.
First of all, since I am totally blind, I enjoy only a console interface,
useing Speakup, a screen-reader.
Quite ofteen I will rip streams to either audio or video, however, I would love
to edit out commercials-and-other content not of interest.
Any-and-all Linux sound editors seem complicated, especially since I would
rather not edit raw audio.
In an ideal World, I would be more than wonderful if there were an editor with
playback features of mplayer or trplayer, but with editing style of text editor
such as Nano.
I mean, one could theoreticly arrow to a point in the broadcast--and-mark with
a block command. While trplayer was I think made by some1 blind, it has
several buttons you can push while real audio or mp3s are playing, which will
announce bit rate, elapsed time-and-percentage, and title.
For me mplayer is really nice as it has an EQ, which I cannot run directly with
an mp3blaster. No EQ settings showup.
Right now, thanks to 1 of our LUG members here in Southern Cal, I can now rip
streams directly to mp3 useing sox, but for some reason it always stops
recording around 3hours18minutes?
Thanks so much in advance for suggestions.
I am currently in FC9

I've been running UbuntuStudio 8.04 with a self-compiled beta of jackd and
ffado. With the release of a new LTS version of UbuntuStudio, I thought
it might be about time I did an upgrade.
While my main audio machine is an AMD64 laptop, I built up some spare
parts into a machine to evaluate the new distro before commiting my main
hardware to it. I'm doing the testing on an old Socket A MB with an
Athlon MP 2100+ (1.6Ghz) and 2GB of RAM. I've got a Ti-based Firewire
card.
I've managed to get US 10.04 loaded and running. I had to swap around
video cards a bit, because my first choice would only start up in
'emergency recovery mode'. I ended up with a 128MB Radeon 9100, but it
seems to ba a little heat-sensitive, so I have to keep the cover off the
case if I don't want the video to go black unexpectedly...
Before I got far enough to even think about plugging in my firewire
interface, I'm seeing reports of bugs and mis-configurations both here
and on the FFADO-users list in US 9.10, that makes me think I should also
investigate Planet CCRMA, but then I discover yet another choice, whether
to overlay it on Fedora or Centos, and I see a new Fedora 13 is only days
away! Too many choices!
So hopefully without starting a religious war, can you share your
experiences, and advise me on what direction to go?
Ubuntustudio 10.04 and tweak until it works?
Planet CCRMA on fedora 12?
Wait for fedora 13? How long before Planet CCRMA will have a f13
repository?
Planet CCRMA on Centos 5.4?

Hey,
Things are going very well with my band and recording stuff both
practice settings and a more studio style sound. I now want to put
some videos on youtube and want some hints! Should i record with a
webcam app that has jack support, or should i buy a cheap digital
camera then try and sync the audio afterwards or what? What video
recording apps work with jack?

snd-ua101 should have been in 1.0.22. However, it's likely that Ubuntu
uses the kernel drivers, and there snd-ua101 did not go in before
2.6.34-rc1.

I've got 2 dead sound devices and am wondering if there is any way to
determine if the death is complete or a software issue?
1. My Audiophile 2496 has been working for years in my computer. A few
months ago it just stopped. At the time I figured it was a software
upgrade issue with pulseaudio, etc. so I pulled the card and ran with
the on-board sound on my Asus motherboard. Didn't sound wonderful, but
not to bad ... and I really did intend to upgrade the software "real
soon" so I just lived with it. Until today...
2. the on board sound on the Asus MB decided that "white noise" was
much more appreciated by me than the Ornette Coleman which I was
playing. Okay, it might be right ... but several reboots later it was
still insisting on static.
So, I reinstalled the 2496 but it refuses to output anything. Even
tried with the envy24control program and was unable to get any bars to
show any activity.
Ended up by installing a cheap soundblaster card from the bottom of my
junk box. It's playing right now, and it's not great, but not really
awful.
So, any way to see if either the on board or the 2496 has any life left in them?
Failing that, what's the current recommended consumer grade card? I'll
probably never use the inputs on the card for recording.

Hi!
To estimate subjective music lost (if one does exist for my ears) in 96/24 to
44.1/16 convertion, I need as high quality as possible CLI chain for
96/24 -> normalized 96/24 -> 44.1/16 with triangle dithering -> 96/24
convertion. Please, point me at aprropriate CLI tools (with tips how to use
them appropriately) to achieve that best quality :-)
Thanks!
Andrew
