I apologize for cross posting. I asked this on Alsa-Users a couple of
days ago but haven't received any responses. As it's about shopping I
might do this weekend I figured I'd try here also. Thanks in advance.
I'd like to pick up something to do simple mobile recording gigs with
my laptop. It needs to be USB 2.0 based, have 2 XLR inputs, support
headphone monitoring and preferably do 96KHz.
The M-audio Fast Track Pro seems to come closest although as I
understand it that device won't do 96K on all inputs and outputs at
the same time. Not a huge deal but one tick against for that.
What other devices do folks suggest I take a look at?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi
My laptop was dropped, and if it's beyond repair, I need a new one
quickly. I would appreciate a few (preferrably hands-on experiences or)
advices to this end, here are a few thoughts:
1) It should of course work as flawless with linux as possible (I run arch)
2) I have an edirol fa66 firewire soundcard that I'm quite happy with.
Problem is, it seems laptops with firewire are hard to find. I could get
an usb soundcard, but I have the feeling that it's not gonna perform as
well (low latency, stability) as firewire, it that correct? Plus it's
annoying to throw away (or sell) a perfectly good, stable soundcard that
suits my needs, just because of the port type...
3) I would prefer a small (<= 13") light-weight, long-battery-life laptop.
4) I actually don't really need that much cpu power. I have a 2Ghz
dual-core intel (T7250, whatever that means) now, that's more than
enough. It's the first dual core I owned, and I had the feeling the two
cores provides a snappier feeling, would others agree? Besides that I
don't need the speed I have now.
Options (I can think of):
I saw a secondhand ThinkPad X61s (dual-core 1.6Ghz, 3Gb ram, 12"
display) from a well known online shop I trust and used many times
(bought my current laptop there). There's 6 months warrenty, and my
general impression with ThinkPads is that they have good build quality,
it's the only laptop I would consider buying used. It has firewire so...
Go the netbook route. I'm at a loss here, all these new processors, both
the i-series and the atom (N-series), I have no idea how well they
perform. I tried a few from friends, and they seem fast enough. Anyone
here making music on a netbook? This would most certainly mean I would
have to get a usb soundcard, hmmm :-(
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated :-)

Greetings,
A video from a recent performance of my band playing one of my songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqgDNiFXxPI
My brother shot it with a new recorder, he doesn't quite have the audio
settings optimized, but it's the best vid we've got of the band so far.
Just so I wouldn't be utterly OT I did the titles and rendering with the
latest Kdenlive. :)
Best,

Hi.
Have anyone of you ever used Timidity Win32GUI, that is the .exe gui for windows? If not you may download it from http://timidity.s11.xrea.com/index.en.html and run it under wine, that it works right.
What I have in mind here is that I didn't find all the options that windows gui has in timidity gui's for linux nor in command line.
For example, in win32gui there's a menu "config" and an option "preference". There you may check boxes that will allow timidity to recognize or not reverb, attack, chorus and many other specifications in the midi file. I know that if we launch timidity from command line on linux we may specify these paramenters for all files, but I what I need is a way to make timidity on linux recognize how these parameters are set and/or changed in a midi file while playing it.
The reason is that I use timidity as output for rosegarden. While typing in rosegarden I insert in the file changes for attack, reverb, brightness and so on. But playing it in rosegarden with timidity as output or exporting it as midi and playing in timidity through linux gui's brings no effect change. However if I take the midi file and play it on windows gui all effects are recognized!
I have noted that win32gui generates a .ini file where these configurations are stored but in linux I didn't find anything similar.
Can anyone help me, please, to make timidity on çlinux recognize effects changes?
Thank you.

Hey All,
I'm currently thinking about getting a "grid" style controller, something to
control a live performance. Looking at the options I see the Novation
Launchpad <http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_controllers/launchpad>,
Akai APC 20 <http://www.akaipro.com/apc20>, Akai APC
40<http://www.akaipro.com/apc40>
.
I'm aware that the launchpad has been "converted" to linux by the great work
of NightMorph (see here <https://github.com/nightmorph/launchpad>) A bit of
googling / forum reading didn't get me many results on if the APC line works
with Linux / if its a standard MIDI device?
Very instrested in peoples experiences!
Cheers, -Harry
My trusty SB Live! is slowly giving up the ghost, and I was wondering
what people would recommend for a cheap audio interface compatible
with linux? It seems USB is a dead end - with all the USB2 stuff being
non-compatible with Linux.. firewire seems to be being phased out, and
I'm not sure about PCI?
I really just need something basic, but that is relatively quiet
(unlike a no-name cheapo USB interface I bought a while back). 1 x
stereo in would be fine for my purposes.

Hello, what is a cheap and easy way to normalize a bunch of audio files
from command line / shell script? Preferably something that works with
various formats (.wav, .aiff, .flac and possibly even .ogg and .mp3)
cheers

Hi,
im writing a avb protocol suite (bachelor thesis, ready in july 2012) at
the moment. first i wanted do implement a jack client, but i decided to
use vlc because of its already implemented RTP streaming... after
getting this to work and noone else has done it already, i will
certainly have a look at it!
you have to meet hard requirements to get avb running!
you need a precise hardware supported time synchronization (needs
special NIC), you need a traffic shaper and resource registration.
there is the LabX titanium switch, i just ordered one. it ships for 799$
and has 5 ports and one sfp.
but i like, that avb is getting more and more attention!
