This is quite a chalenge to explain in a subject-line.
In May I asked about simple editing software--and-now I am trying to replacing
recording News-programming on reel2reel tape, with either a handheld or
tabletop digital recorder. I have been to some music stores here in Southern
Cal, but many of these units have confusing button layouts. Also, since I am
totally blind, many units you must go in a complicated set of menus.
Another chalenge, most units seemingly will not let you rewind--and-resume
recording on top of commercials, since I want to edit them out.
Buttons on the Zoom H4n were not too bad--and-recording on SD cards will save
me lots of cash buying high-priced reel tapes, as well, I will get many more
hours of recording.
I am not a musician, but I would only be recording audio off-air.
I know Olympus makes some units for the blind which talk, but they are missing
features of other units on the market.
Obviously it will be helpful hearing audio as I rewind.
Can some1 please tell me if there are units out there which have a simple feel
like older recorders?
Thanks so much in advance

Drumstick is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface using
Qt4 objects, idioms and style. ALSA sequencer provides software support for
MIDI technology on Linux. Complementary classes for SMF and WRK file
processing are also included. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon
and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm".
Changes:
* Fixed a drumstick-sysinfo crash, when retrieving information for an
unavailable timer module.
* Fixed WRK file read implementation, allowing compilation on more
architectures.
* Added standard arguments to all the utilities/example programs.
* Added man pages for all the utilities/example programs.
* New utility/example program: drumstick-drumgrid, a simple MIDI drum pattern
editor/player.

Hi,
I have a problem I can't face alone on the digital piano I made on
Debian Lenny with qsynth (v0.2.5-2.2), qjackctl (v0.3.2-1) and an
m-audio keystation 88es keyboard.
When I play the piano, some notes will repeat themselves after a few
seconds only if I keep the sustain pedal pressed, just like a delay
effect would do.
I reported that only 4 notes are concerned for the moment, they have
different repeat delays:
G : ~7.5 sec (G4)
G# : ~7 sec (G#4)
A : ~6.5 sec (A4)
A# : ~6 sec (A#4)
Note that the notes above, relatively to the middle C of a piano
keyboard called C3, goes from G4 to A#4.
Could this be due to an hardware issue in the m-audio keyboard?
Thanks a lot for any idea on how to track down and correct this (if
possible).
Nicolas.

it is a documented and widely used chunk, but to the best of my
understanding it never became part of any standard. my understanding
could be wrong.

Ecasound does have a learning curve but it also has an extremely helpful
community of active users.

That sounds like a fairly expensive solution as sd cards are not as cheap
as tape or CD/DVD.

If you are not intending to move around a lot and already have a computer
that you can connect to the dish then I suggest working with ecasound as
it will save you a lot of time in the long run.
You will be able to fully automate the process of recording, editing out
advertising and even burning to cd/dvd on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
What kind of volume of data are you intending to record? 30 mins per day
or 24 hours per day? If the latter you may want to also look into
compressing with ogg or flac.
There are several people using ecasound to manage this procedure. Combined
with a cront job you can have it fully automated so all you have to do is
remember to replace the DVD on a regular basis. You can even make it pop
out the tray when it needs a new disk and send a daily email with a status
report if you want.

Depending on the sound card that you have you can record at pretty much
any bit rate you want.

Hi
I'd like to dive into lv2. But being new to this I wasn't able to figure
out if there's a THE lv2 host. I'm mostly interested in something that's
actively being developed and has at least some momentum.
Any suggestions?

Hi everyone!
I recently downloaded the latest Klick version and notcied someting odd.
When I start klick like this:
klick -T 4/4 120
I can use jack_transport to start/stop/relocate and my MIDI sequencer can be
synced to jack_transport control.
If on the other hand I start klick in interactive mode:
klick -T -i 4/4 120
I can't use jack_transport control to do anything. Klick can start/stop and
this is certainly send. But jack_midi_clock doesn't get a clock-signal, somy
sequencer can't be synced. Any idea, why that might be?
Kindly yours
JUlien

Hello. I just released new version of jack-netsource-gui. This tool is able to run many sources.
Version 0.2.2
1) has one fix — more natural way to save scripts, runing sources (in previous version sources should be run to be saved) and
2) may launch sources via LADI Session Handler.
Enjoy! If you find bugs, write there.
