Very many years ago I played rhythm guitar in a small group. I'm now
trying to create an enhanced, modernised recording. This is extremely
rough, but gives you an idea (please bear in mind I've not touched a
guitar for nearly 40 years!)
The problem is that I can't for the life of me remember the title :o
Many people mistake it for "500 Miles" but, although a similar tune it's
not the same one.

Anyone remember it?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Is there a way to digitally send all audio output from one computer to
another where it will then be sent to the sound card for actual
playback? Maybe jack? Could the two computers be connected via some
type of direct cable method instead of going over a local network?

It's about time I finally upgrade my studio machine from UbuntuStudio
8.04. I loaded US 10.04 on a test machine, and was able to run qjackctl,
jackd, and ardour briefly, but then got scared off by another thread here
talking about broken FFADO and nasty interactions with PulseAudio. I also
ran into a bug in xorg that affects any motif-based applications
(right-click context menus don't work, and result in a virtual lock-up)
I'm following the 'distribution usage' thread, looking for the current
'best option', as I have a recording gig scheduled for next Thursday, and
I'd like to be able to validate a new install on my test machine, then
perform another install on the studio laptop before then. There aren't
enough hours in the day...
Currently the test system is loaded with Fedora 12 + CCRMA. My first
attempt to start jack returned some error messages, so I edited
/etc/security/limits.conf as requested, added myself to the audio group,
installed the RT+PAE kernel from the CCRMA repository, rebooted, and tried
it again. Now when I try to start jack from qjackctl (with defaults
only), it quickly results in qjackctl aborting, leaving jack zombified and
unkillable.
Any hints on how to get around this, or do I simply blow it away and try
the next distro on the list(www.linux-sound.org/distro.html), which looks
like it might be AVLinux?
I have past experience with Redhat and SuSe, and for the past three years,
almost exclusively Ubuntu variants, so I'm trying to focus on .deb or
.rpm -based distros.

hello list,
I'd need to:
1) - open mp3/wav files, do some trimming and fade ins/outs and save to
mp3/wav
2) - do some recordings of JACK-apps
and I'd like to do so in one application. Audacity would be
perfect but it doesn't appear in patchage; I can only decide it's input
from it's prefs, but I need to have multiple apps that go into it (and
the prefs dialog won't let me do it)...
All apps I found so far do either 1 and are not JACK-apps (or have a
problem similar to audacity's) (Rezound,Sweep) or do 2 but not 1
(Ardour,jack_rec)
I haven't tested the following, and would like to know from you if any
of them does both 1 and 2 without me testing them all:
qtractor,muse,ecasound,rosegarden
thanks

Greetings,
Last night I got a wild notion to try the Ableton Intro demo under Wine
1.1.44. I installed and opened the program without incident and played
around with some settings, but haven't tried to get audio out of it yet.
I'll see what happens today.
I wondered if anyone else has tried this arrangement. If so, are there
any special considerations re: the audio/MIDI I/O ?
I'm not serious (now) about running Ableton, I'm just curious to see
what the rep's all about.
Best,
dp

That brings up television listings for MSNBC as well as Web searches generated by that term. ... Finally, the search box comes back up on the screen, as an embarrassed Chandra resumes the demo. The search box pulls up content from both the TV and the Web, showing that episodes of House are available on Fox, USA, and Hulu.

One interesting note: the application does not expand to fill the screen, meaning that Google has just introduced another possible fragmentation screen for Android apps.

So he created a Google Translate application for Google TV, sort of a combination of the Google Translate service and the auto-captions recently introduced in YouTube.

Hi
I need something to fill the load time in my live set. I thought about
having prepared some transitions, but would like to be able to fadeout +
stop them at will. Ideally I could do it all from a python script:
pressing return would play the next transition in the "queue" and
pressing return while playing would fadeout the currently playing
transition, and prepare for playing the next one.
Any suggestions how to achieve this? If anything else fails I guess
chuck could be used for this, but I'm looking for something a little
more pre-cooked.

Yes, its called S/PDIF. :-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF
Even the cheapest motherboards often have these built-in.
Gstreamer has one disadvantage (or bug?) - it doesn't show jack device apart xine. Under GNOME it is solved using either gstreamer-properties or gconf-editor (in first case I had only one of three audiosink-fields changed). I want use it instead Xine because, in turn, it routes all his clients to one port, when gstreamer creates individual port groups for each client. Or may be, this Xine bug already fixed?
Ubuntu 9.10, gstreamer-plugins-bad 0.10.18.2 amd xine 1.1.16.3 both from PPA: https://launchpad.net/~motin/+archive/until-jack-is-included-in-main
Hi all !
Here is a new version since a long time !
http://home.gna.org/fmit
News
* move to CMake
* bug fix #14601 for JACK: use a jack_ringbuffer, thanks Arnout !
* fix mixing down of 2 channels
* remove unvaluable sampling rate of the
predefined lists (48kHz and 96kHz)
* DFT view: change move and zoom features
Have fun !
