[LAU] Japa with non-power-of-two jack framesize segfaults :(

by Martin Homuth-Rosemann

Hi, just discovered this strange behaviour: USB audio interfaces (Lexicon Omega and UCA202 with BB2902) with JACK framesize of 48 or 96 work well with jaaa but segfault with japa, while japa with framesize 64, 128, 256... is ok. I use 48/96 framesize because of this info: http://old.nabble.com/usb-and-jack-ts26046087.html Any idea or suggestions? Ciao, Martin

[LAU] A keen pair of ears wanted for second opinion and mix-correction

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a keen second pari of ears with a merciless brain to help me mix. Currently I don't want to bother my favourite pair of ears, since there are many troubles over there. The genres of this piece include a bit of: balkaniser, rock, metal, synth-pop, orchestral progressive rock and simple oldschool jazz. So a rather wide range of styles. I don't want to post it publicly yet, since it isn't ready. But if someone here was interested to go into it, please drop me a line and I'll send you a link to the piece itself. It's currently uploaded as OGG, but 'd also upload as flac for that purpose. Warm regards and thanks for following me so far Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................

[LAU] Skype & Jack (& IDJC)

by Raffaele Morelli

Hi, I can't get Skype and Jack working together on a debian Wheezy, 2.6.39-2-amd64. The goal is to have them working in order to stream telephone calls with IDJC but none of the misc solutions I tried seem to work, including the one found on IDJC project page. When qjackctl is up and running, skype audio doesn't work (no capture no playback). Any suggestion is appreciated Regards -r -- *L'unica speranza di catarsi, ammesso che ne esista una, resta affidata all'istinto di ribellione, alla rivolta non isterilita in progetti, alla protesta violenta e viscerale.*

If you "normalize" a more aggressive song, which has a high "apparently loudness," there is no way you will get quieter songs to compare in average levels. Not only is it important to take a lot of breaks, it's also very important to change the levels at which you listen. Listen loud, listen quiet, listen every level in between. Not only does it help prevent ear fatigue, it also gives you an idea what Fletcher-Munson is doing to your mixes. Also, listen through a variety of systems, and make sure you cover everything from a full-range high power sound system, but also $5 ear buds, and cheesy car stereos.

With the current version of Ubuntu, if you want Gnome desktop you can select it from the toolbar as Ubuntu Classic when the cursor is in the password field of the login screen.

[LAU] [Fwd: [Rosegarden-user] ROSEGARDEN 11.11.11, codename "Edelweiss" RELEASED]

by david

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Rosegarden-user] ROSEGARDEN 11.11.11, codename "Edelweiss" RELEASED Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:00:32 -0500 From: D. Michael McIntyre <michael.mcintyre(a)rosegardenmusic.com> To: rosegarden-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net CC: rosegarden-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net ====== ROSEGARDEN 11.11.1, codename "Edelweiss" RELEASED ====== Rosegarden 11.11.11 is a minor point release that includes additional translations, and one notable change by Ted Felix that might offer a tangible reduction in CPU usage without any noticeable side effects. Mostly this release exists for the geeky pleasure of releasing 11.11.11 on 11-11-11, because I'm a dweeb. This release was accomplished on the target date thanks to my 16-year-old son, who did all the real work of updating the minor version number, rolling the tarball, doing a test build, and uploading the file to SourceForge. I coached him over the phone while I was driving a load of gasoline down a twisty mountain road. Now that's family teamwork! -- D.

I got several devices that are white-listed, some do ship with Linux drivers. E.g. I owned a FAX white-listed device, but with a shipset that wasn't listed anywhere and it appeared to be a white-listed device. There was no way to know that there's a "unkonwn" chipset. I own three RFID-card readers of the same type that ship with a Linux driver, but they don't work. I own a KORG nanoKONTROL (the old one). It's known that old KORG software versions work with wine, but the new version and old available version by KORG don't work with wine. I own an integrated ATI graphics that should work 3D accelerated with Linux, but it doesn't, hence I bought a NVIDIA, still a PITA. "OT: I choose a distro that didn't force me to use PulseAudio and an upgrade today will force me to install it." Resume: Linux is the best choice for an OS, but be careful. If you aren't sure, avoid buying hardware. I bought a RME HDSPe AIO. It's usable, but I miss entire support for this card. If there's any doubt for the device you wish to buy, don't buy it. Use Linux only, never use Windows ;), but get a device that REALLY is known as supported by the Linux distro version you prefer. 2 Cents, Ralf
