I think I am missing some essential understanding of Ardour. I have Ardour set up in default manner (Fedora 13), one Master bus, and have added one track. The input of the one track has been successfully set to Linux Sampler; when I get sound out of LS, the meter in the track moves nicely. However, when I change the metering point in the track from "input" to either "pre" or "post", the meter doesn't move at all. (Obviously there are more consequences too, but this is the boil-down.) There are no plugins in all. Recording does work, the wave data is clearly visible. What am I doing wrong? J.E.B.

[ANN] Drumstick 0.5.0 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

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, WRK and OVE file processing are also included. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm". Changes: * OVE file format support, contributed by Rui Fan * Optional RealtimeKit support for MIDI input thread * guiplayer simplified and optimized, with OVE format playback * Build system fixes: using visibility=hidden if it is available, exceptions, static build.

Tuning icecast/ices for low latency

by Julien Claassen

'Owdo again! Now that I've icecast running with ices as a feeder, I wonder, if I can turn down latency. In icecast I set the burst-size to 0 and in ices I set realtime. Still the delay is considereable. Is there any chance of tuning this setup further to reduce latency? If it helps, I will post my ices.xml and my icecast.xml.

Installing Google Voice Chat for Linux on Fedora instead of Debian

by Niels Mayer

Excited to see http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html , I was quickly disappointed to find the plugin only supported debian and was 32 bit. However, I persevered and got it running on Fedora 12 x86_64 anyways. Solution: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/chat/thread?tid=10ffe01c3a4779f5&hl=e… Google ought to hire someone that knows about App Development and Linux Audio and Fedora packaging (me?) to make the audio/video experience nicer for it's Linux users. In particular, not just blindly using ALSA devices for input that cannot possibly support audio capture, although I guess I'm a fringe-case since I don't use pulseaudio, since I've got KDE's phonon setup to do the right thing w/r/t all my audio devices, including the ones talking via Jackd. ( http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2010-May/016886.html ). Also, not assuming every Linux user runs a debian/ubuntu distro would be helpful as well :-) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Google Help <noreply(a)google.com> Date: Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 5:13 PM Subject: Re: [Google Chat Help] Linux version now available!

by Giso Grimm

A new Early Music CD has been produced using FLOSS on Linux, mainly Ardour: Sound out my voice - Italian madrigals and bastarda music for viol consort The CD is played by the viol [1] consort "ORLANDOviols". It is commercially available at http://www.orlandoviols.de/, and soon also via amazon (Europe at least). A non-commercial publishing is planned after a while. A video, more or less the making of the CD, is available on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUx_UIcht2Y The video is completely made with Blender on Linux. Thanks to all the creative people around the Linux Audio World! Giso [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viol

New workstation | DAW pc

by rosea grammostola

Hi, I need a new workstation | DAW pc, would be nice to get some advise. Silent Energy friendly (relative...) Good for audio work Price: 300 - 500 euro 1. Which components are the most important? And which components might be good second hand as well? 2. How many cores, is a dualcore enough, or do I need a quatro core? It would be nice to be able to enjoy the computer in the coming 3 years (I don't know how heavy computing will be in 3 years...) 3. Which computer case? 4. Motherboard 5. Monitor 6. Fans? When I look around, Phenom processor and MSI motherboard are mentioned... Thanks in advance, \r

Some of the hot stuff is also the stuff which is sensitive to heat. If you put the CPU and the PSU at the top of the case, they will be heaten up by hard drive, motherboard, etc., and they will cause more noise than if you had putten them at the bottom.

Normally you only have to worry about the temperature of the CPU the PSU. The other stuff inside an audio-computer usually works fine in higher temperature without making lots of noise or failing. (at least to a certain degree of corse).

envy24 issues

by menno

Hello list, Niels first of all, your redesigned version of Envy24 Control looks pleasing to the eye, thanks for this update! I have a couple of questions that come to mind - i remember with the old version 0.6 i never succeeded in getting any signal from my DAT recorder using S/PDIF in. I must admit i haven't tried it with this version (1.03) - it takes a lot of physical effort from my part to make a connection with cables due to too many hardware fighting for space, but did you do any work in that area as well? Is it worth the try? - looking at the tab Hardware Settings i see a message : IEC958 Input Status, unable to read IEC958 Input Status: No such file or directory What does it need? What can i do? - is it possible to scale the mixer to other dimensions? i would like to have the mixer in sight all the time while doing my work but it would be nicer to be able to resize it to smaller proportions and still seeing all the levels. thank you Menno
