The printer I'm using currently has cartridges with the nozzles included, but I found a good imitation with good ink for my HP DeskJet 600. It's a printer without colour and with low quality, but Gutenprint improves the quality significantly. I've got a ribbon printer, unfortunately I can't get ribbons anymore. For many usages this ribbon printer would be my first choice. Not only because of the less costs, I'm also missing listing paper for some usages and this printer could use 'normal' paper and listing paper. This ink cartridge issue is caused by criminal companies, we should burn their factories down and lynch the management and marketing. There are a lot of replies to your request, I don't read them, perhaps somebody mentioned a printer that has got it's own nozzles?

I'm in a hurry now, I'll read the following LAU Digest and if needed I'll reply to this topic within the next days. If your 3.1GHz CPU did run with 0.8GHz, freq scaling already was running.

A collaborative work

by Folderol

I have a friend who plays some rather tasty acoustic guitar as well as tin whistle, and we quite often work together on tunes especially since I've been developing my electric guitar skills. Usually, on hearing a melody I've come up with, James will send me a bunch of files and invite me to mix and match then as I please - sometimes of course it's the other way round! On this particular occasion I started out with just the 'chorus' melody, then bit by bit we added to it until we ended up with the tune linked below. In total we have: 2x Acoustic guitar, bouzouki and whistle by James. Synths, lead and final mix by me. http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Red_Wine.ogg We hope you enjoy your glass! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Alternative to audacity for simple non-jack recording?

by Arve Barsnes

I have a simple little usb-thingy that I want to record sound from. It shows up just fine in audacity, but when I press record with it set as the input device, audacity freezes completely, and I have to kill it. I've tried ecasound and qarecord, but I couldn't really make any of them work. Anyone have any experience with this? Should I just try an older version of audacity? Just looking for some hints before I start the whole downgrading process (the older, "stable", version of audacity comes with the thingy, so that's supposed to work). Arve

Errors in Rosegarden's export to Lilypond

by Fernando Araujo Martiniano

Rosegarden is definitely the best sequencer I ever used. But I have some problems with it as notation editor. I have read some tutorials in Rosegarden's official site but have not solved my problem. I want to keep the music I write in Rosegarden as pdf scores also so that it may be readable ad easier to play on real instruments. However most of the time exporting as Lilypond files or printing (wich seems to use the same process of Lilypond) brings a lot of errors. I did small notations experiments using scores with few measures nd it was ok. Everything was right. But if I type a larger work such as a sonata or a symphony, using articulation symbols, stem directions and so on I always get errors in the Lilypond file. Most of the errors on Lilypond output are related to tenuto or stem up / stem down properties, but I need these settings and they are correctly displayed on small scores (for example those that I wrote as test files with one staff and eight meaures) but not in larger works. I use currently the most recent version of Rosegarden, that is, 11.06. At every update they say to have improved Lilypond export but it still doesn't seem to work right. What do I do to have Rosegarden music printed correctly? Fernando Martin

A good Sampler

by Jordan Wade

Hello, I'm just getting started with creating electronic music in Linux and I'm looking for a good sampler. Specifically, I'm looking for a sampler that will allow me to assign a sample to multiple keys AND perform pitch-scaling without changing the duration of the sample. I've tried Specimen and Renoise (both great pieces of software) but neither seems to automatically stretch/compress the duration of the sample to compensate for the pitch shift. I look forward to hearing your suggestions. Thanks!

[OT] cpufreqd and kernel configuration

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! Sorry for being so OT (again). I had to recompile my own kernel and now cpufreqd doesn't work. I wonder what I need to enable in the kernel to have cpufreqd work? What should be the standard cpu frequency scheduler? Which other schedulers can or must be there? Can I put them into the kernel or will they have to be modules? My current kernel config can be found as: http://juliencoder.de/kconfig Thanks for reading so far and thanks in advance even more for thinking about it.
