I really like AVLinux and I want to thank everyone on here who's been recommending it to various people for a long time.
It's a Debian remix, basically, so I'm right at home. It's solid and it has everything I need, plus it's easy to bring in the straight Debian repositories so I can put on it whatever I'm used to from Debian-land.
I'm now using it on my own studio machine, and I set it up for a customer in a relatively very short time, got him up and running on an old PC with no hassles. The RT kernels from the AVLinux website worked; no tweezing required, no kernel compilation required. The docs are good. And there are nifty non-audio extras there like a whole choice of video editors, so I dipped my toes into video editing a little bit, which was fun.
All in all, hooray for AVLinux, I'm impressed.

Hi all,
i've recently bought a Behringer ADA8000 but i can't make it work with my
RME Multiface II. I can't get any signal from the RME ADAT input.
The Multiface II is set to master and the ADA8000 as slave and they are
connected via wordclock and with a toslink cable (ADA8000 out -> Multiface
II in). ADA8000 says it's locked, hdspconf says nothing is locked, and i
have no lights on or blinking on the front panel of the Multiface II.
Has anyone a clue?
Thank you in advance.

Don't know how many of you follow the progress of video / animation development, but Blender has a GSOC project involving 3D audio. It includes things such a audio sources moving in
3D space as well as things like the doppler effect for moving audio sources. There is an iteresting video demonstrating the current progress.

Hi,
Which packages are needed for ambisonics? In other words, which packages
should be in a distro, to provide people the right tools for working
with ambisonics?
I did a little research and found:
ambdec
amb-plugins
ardour
japa
jconvolver
drc
aliki
zita-rev1
probably: non-mixer
Any missing or unneeded packages here?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I was wondering if is there any open source program made to controll and
allign a Line Array system. I know that often Producers make their own
software, that run on Mac or Windows, but i've never known anything about
Linux software.
Another thing i'd like to know is if it does exist a program for Linux that
could check the effective bit rate and other things like THD, noise level,
stereo crosstalk,etc.. about my sound card, just like this interesting
software does: RMAA <http://audio.rightmark.org/products/rmaa.shtml>.
Any answer is welcome!
Saluti,
Lorenzo
Hi
The picky program I was playing with in the recent thread was
paulstretch. I always had trouble running it but I just found that there
seems to be a commandline python version available. But unfortunately,
it wasn't that simple. There are three versions available:
https://github.com/paulnasca/paulstretch_python
I was only able to make paulstretch_stereo.py do something, and only on
mono files in "Microsoft PCM" wav format.
So I made a wrapper in python that is more robust + inputs all the
formats handled by mplayer and outputs all formats handled by sox, I
placed it here: http://atte.dk/paulstretch
To use it you need to
1) save http://atte.dk/paulstretch in your path and make it executable
2) get paulstretch_stereo.py:
$ git clone https://github.com/paulnasca/paulstretch_python.git
3) place the files (at least paulstretch_python.py) in your path
4) install numpy, scipy:
sudo pacman -S python2-scipy python2-numpy
If anyone want's to play along, that'd be fun! Any findings regarding
Pauls python scripts would be great. For instance I convert input to
mono, but the result is stereo! I imagine keeping the file in stereo
would result in better sounding results. Also, I tried to be clever and
check for numpy and scipy in my wrapper, but since Pauls scripts run in
python2 only, and python here (arch) falls back to python3, I found no
way (elegant) to check if the python2 versions of numpy and scipy are
installed from python3...
We could (should?) maybe start patching Pauls scripts at some point, but
this just to be able to do something usable with it, in the first place...

Hi all
I have two files, file reports the following on them:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 44100 Hz
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 44100 Hz
How can I convert the first to something that has the "Microsoft PCM, 16
bit"-part in file's output? Sox always seems to output the former...
NB: It's for input into another program that is very picky with it's
file type, so far it seems that only files with "Microsoft PCM..." works.
