Anybody know if thisone works? they say it's class compliant but I might
aswell ask if someone tried it... I've also looked at the NI komplete
audio 6, native instruments even says that it should work on linux but
some ubuntu users say they can only get it to playback audio and not
record, better support might be in the works tho
http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg10281.html
I really want the sound devices usbpre2 but it seems to be hard to get,
the Finnish importer hasn't responded to any of my mails yet... and
thomann sells them for 880€ :O which is waaay over listprice.. I realize
thisone is in a completely different class than the former two but it
can go into standalone mode so it can be used as a preamp/ADC into my
tascam dr680..
Can anyone suggest a better sf2 player than qsynth. This seems to have gone
strange over the last couple of updates (debian squeeze version). Reverb seems
to be all or nothing, MIDI control of main volume (cc7) is patchy and I can't
seem to find a way to filter unwanted MIDI messages.
I don't know if some of this is down to the soundfonts themselves.
The ones I mostly use are:
FluidR3-GM.sf2
GeneralUser GS 1.4.sf2
PC51f.sf2

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to process a bass drum, namely this one:
http://juliencoder.de/bd.ogg
My goals; Short attakc, some high frequency click - if possible - and a
short release. Not much mid-frequency content. Think metal bass drum.
Unfortunately I failed gloriously. :-( I can use any LADSPA plugins. I've
tried a combnation of:
gate (SWH ID: 1410) and compressor (Invada Stereo Compressor ID: 3309) for the
attack and release. I alwyas use Fons' 4-band parametric EQ (ID: 1970) for
EQ'ing.I've used two in a row, but didn't get rid of the mid content. Well,
let me put it this way: Although I tried pulling down, what I perceived as the
main peaks there, I still ended up with a bass drum sounding rather middy.
Any suggestions on that? Basic techniques might do? A nice setup with
specific tools might be even better. :-)
Thank you for reading and pondering!
Kind regards
Julien

Guitarix release guitarix2-0.20.0
After much code shuffling, refactoring and testing we are happy to
release "whizzing abacus" guitarix2-0.20.0. Thanks to all testers and
special thanks to rosea grammostola for his patience.
Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack, with effect modules
and an additional stereo effect chain.
Please refer to our project page for more information:
http://guitarix.sourceforge.net/
new features and bugfixes in short:
* important bugfix: convolver (cabinet, presence) in 0.19.0 only
worked when samplerate was 48000Hz
* avoid connect already connected ports
* always save state on exit (in earlier versions state was not saved
when presets where selected)
* separation of engine and UI
if you always wanted to use Guitarix headless or embedded, now
there's a chance :-)
* now its possible to set the reference pitch of the tuner
* remember currently selected preset in guitarix state file
* display selected preset / factory preset in window title and patch
info window
* updated factory settings from funkmuscle
* reworked guitarix operation under a jack session manager
* error popup window in addition to existing logging facility
* command line option to set instance name (determines jack client
names and state file to use)
* some more work to support localization
* upgraded to zita-convolver version 3
* other smaller changes and clean-ups
download site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/
please report bugs and suggestions in our forum:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/
here you can find a couple of examples produced by guitarix users:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=83
have fun

For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the zita-convolver library,
and, for resampling we use zita-resampler, both written by Fons
Adriaensen.

Hi,
I think that I've mentioned this is the
past, but I'm happy with what I'm doing, and I
wanted to share.
Some of you may have felt at some time, a
difficulty with sticking with only Windows, or
only Linux for use as an audio workstation. I've
tried two machines with a kvm switch, and the
dual-boot thing. Finally I came to a quite happy
solution using "virtualization", running Linux in a
Vmware virtual machine on a Windows 7 host.
One thing that's nice is that I can try out all
sorts of distributions, audio centric or
otherwise, by just making ad hoc installations
under VMware. I can even light more than one up
at a time, to move files around between the
'machines'. Love Gentoo, but hate the down time?
Install in a window somewhere in the background.
Even if it won't boot, your main machine is
still running.
Where it comes to audio, I really want to run
Reaper and Finale native on the native Windows
machine. What's nice is that it is painless to
get your sound hardware working under Linux, no
matter what sort it is. Just make it work in
Windows whether it be PCI, USB or Firewire, and
it will appear to your Linux box as an Ensoniq
AudioPCI card, which has an old friendship with
Linux. I'm pretty sure that you only get one
stereo card from Linux, so if that won't work for
you then this idea is out (although you could run
Windows 7 in a VM from a Linux host!).
I have a keyboard with a USB midi interface, and
I can pass that through to Linux just fine.
For X applications, I just install and run Xming,
a great light X server for windows. My Linux
apps run in their own windows next to my windows
apps, and I can cut and paste between them. I
have a ~/vmshare file under Linux that is shared
with a folder on my Windows desktop, so I can
shuttle files between Windows and Linux easily.
I have a robust machine, so I can give two cores
to the VM, two to the native OS, and 4Gig ram to
each. One must keep in mind that the VM does not
run for free. 2Gig ram total in your box is
probably a fair minimum. Also, make sure your
bios supports the VT extensions and that they are
turned on (they usually default to off).
This made my computer music world a great deal
nicer. I recommend it.

The old KDE3 Konqueror had the advantages of a GUI file browser that
could use Plugins and you could use frames similar to Norton Commander,
but more flexible.
This may have come up before in a recent thread, but are there any apps
that are good for doing file management across a large number of samples
in many subdirectories? Something like GQview for audio -- the ability
to cursor or browse over a folder structure and audition, rename,
move/copy, and most importantly delete, all through the program's UI
would be nice. All of this becomes really essential as the size of the
collection becomes large and unmanageable.
I think someone in the earlier thread on this mentioned Rezound, but I
don't think it has much in the way of integrated file management.

Hi :)
I couldn't find an email address at space-net.org.uk. There's an evil
link to commercial Steinberg stuff. Seemingly the link should be
http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/ .
"Linux software for Ambisonics
Some excellent free Linux software for Ambisonics and audio measurements
can be found at Fons Adriaensen's website http://kokkinizita.net.
Together with the JACK sound server (http://jackaudio.org) and the
ardour digital audio workstation (http://ardour.org), they make an
excellent open-source toolchain for Ambisonic content creation under
Linux.

Hi, list
I'm interested in getting feedback for a project, namely building an
audio interface, with the goal of creating freely available schematics
and code required. Hence, an Open Sound Interface.
Once I've heard from all those interested, we may want to migrate the
discussion to another development oriented list such as the
linux-audio-dev list to work out nitty-gritty technical details. For
now, it's enough just to gauge interest and deal with planning issues.
The concept is to create a modular and scalable system that allows
users to create a sound interface with an arbitrary number of
input/output channels.
Goals of the system:
1. low latency
2. isolate design considerations
3. abstraction of data transport types
4. flexibility of adc/dac/preamp combinations
5. no unnecessary features--keep it lean; niche features can be added
in by those interested
My idea for how to do it, and components/tasks to design:
1. Modules for dac and adc with on-board identifiers (mixed-signal design)
2. A FPGA-based programmable system board with connectors for
respective modules (high-frequency circuit design)
3. FPGA code for buffers, clocks, and device discovery (VHDL/Verilog
programming)
4. Data transport modules (FPGA code plus hardware design), could be
USB, FW, ETH, PCI, wireless, etc...
5. Kernel modules for each type of transport (software design)
6. Power supplies (not especially difficult, but tough to find
off-the-shelf components to meet specs)
What I'm doing:
studying VHDL coding and preparing to test I2C/SPI dacs on a Digilent
Basys-2 board with breadboards (maybe over a few months)
studying high frequency electronics design
This sort of problem would take a good team to do well. There's room
for many levels of software/hardware expertise, especially those who
understand linux audio kernel modules (design for many parts of the
system depend on capabilities to design for).
It may be a chore, but some kind of organization and design documents
will be needed. All the components are inter-related: it takes a
combination of top-down (whole system) and bottom-up (per module)
considerations to build a complete design.
Any feedback, insights, practical considerations, and reasonable
expectations for taking a complex project like this to completion
would be welcome.
Thanks,
Chuck
