OT: Small studio monitors, or what are you using?

by S. Massy

Hey, list, So, I'm in the market for monitors with a budget of approx $1000 (CAD in my case) and I've been trying to do my homework about the better known models and brands in the last couple of days, mainly thanks to SOS's excellent series of reviews. I need small monitors, both because the room I work in is small accoustically, and because my actual space real-estate is very limited. Anyway, it suddenly occured to me to ask on this list what my fellow Linux Users are favouring these days. Cheers, S.M. --

Kernel 2.6.39

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi, could there be any disadvantages for averaged desktop users, server usage etc., if the kernel 2.6.39 is build as PREEMPT kernel? Today I installed the kernel from the repositories of a major Distro: $ uname -a Linux debian 2.6.39-2-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 8 11:01:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux Some time ago I build the kernel myself: $ uname -a Linux debian 2.6.39.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 7 01:40:05 CEST 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux I'm asking, because I want to know, if it would be reasonable to appeal, that major distros should build it as PREEMPT kernel. Regards, Ralf

However (most) server users would not want a pre-emptively built as they generally require to share their services whereas pre-emption can cause delays on some services... FWIW - this is only my limited understanding.. I have a pre-emptive kernel on my general purpose laptop.. On my home server I have no latency on low value kernel timer.. . I recommend either building your own kernel (fairly easy, especially if you save your config from previous builds).. Or getting a pre-built audio purpose kernel.. cheers Allan

The Yamaha MSP-5's are good in that range too.. Watch out for the M-Audios.. the bass tends to be over inflated and kills out some of the mids. ....

Linux Audio Monthly Round-Up #8 - June 2011

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, Skipped a couple of months in order to get ready for LAC2011. But now that LAC2011 is over I can pick up the monthly round-ups again. I'm not going to cover the months that I skipped so I'll move on with what happened last month, the month of May.

[OT]: Some emails from LAU and LAD marked as spam from my ISP

by Lorenzo Sutton

As per subject. This is hard to trace for me because they are put in a "spam" folder in the webmail interface which I hardly ever use. One of thes is e.g: linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org ISP says this is correctly marked as spam because it doesn't have "standard features routing / resolution / related to domain" (I'm translating this from Italian. And in a further email that they check "correct routing of the sender in relation to DNS domain and not only reverse etc." (again my translation). Any mail-admin guru have an idea about this? Of course it would help if they simply had an option to whitelist addresses ("this is not spam") or something similar which they seem not to have. Lorenzo.

Re: [LAU] [SOLVED] Problem connecting to LinuxSampler (fwd)

by Julien Claassen

Sorry, I didn't see, that this wasn't sent to the list... -------- Hello everyone! Thank you all for the wonderful help. It's done. Don't ask me, what finally put it right. We approached it somewhat sideways and edge-wards and had some improvements along the way. Perhaps it really was a reboot after all the reconfiguring and restarting of the network service and whatever else. The main thing is, LinuxSampler is now reachable and the msuci can begin. I know a very happy chap making love to his gigatron. He also says: THANKS! Warm regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

Problem connecting to LinuxSampler

by Julien Claassen

Hello Everyone! It's not strictly LAu, but I think enough of it. Besides: I'm despearte. I've tried everything and anything. So I'm running a Debian Squeeze - just installed yesterday - and it has UDEV (feel the killer knives and guns sliding out? :-( ). I dont seem to get a /dev/pts/0 anymore. There's only one file in there, which is called ptx and has the file rights c-------- I compared with my own home system and can only find one major difference: I managed to uninstall udev, which I can't do here. I mount /dev/pts correctly from /etc/fstab with: devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 I mount udev correctly and I didn't change any of the rules. I googled such things, but all the answers I found had different causes. Causes, that I could eliminate. Please someone help me or I'll kill that machine. :-( Warm regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

"The best" audio interface

by Goran Mekić

Hello, Let me explain my situation. I have M-Audio Delta 1010LT and Line 6 POD X3 Pro. I've tried to use S/PDIF to connect those two devices, Delta being the master, POD the slave. Later I discovered [1]. Beside M-Audio Delta 1010 (without LT), is there any other card that can be word clock master, receive S/PDIF input and have similar (number of) connectors like Delta? In other words, is Delta 1010 my only choice for Linux machine? Thanx!
