Is there a way of saving the "special parameters" in Rosegarden with the project? Specifically I'd like to be able to save the "recording filters" channel values under "track parameters" but can't figure out how to do it. cheers, Iain

I completely agree with David, but ... Sometimes I get the impression that the Linux "pro-audio" users and developers community suffer from Stockholm syndrome, since even "our community" tend to back up that "pulseaudio" often is a good default, while it easily could kept optional. Regarding to the NVIDIA issue I'm perplexed. Some Linux users bought NVIDIA graphics and everything was ok with the nv driver. It's a silly argument to say, they should buy Intel now. Should we pollute our children planet with hazardous waste, just to back up a mistake that easily could be corrected? Since I'm working for childcare again I've got the money to trash my AMD mobo and to buy an Intel mobo, but IMO this would be a paradox. Linux should stand off a thoughtless throwaway society. Primary components shouldn't be replaced by software that is marked as experimental and known as not working for many users, if there's software that's stable. Regards, Ralf

Re: [LAU] Linux 3.2.0-rt Kernels on Debian Repos!

by Ralf Mardorf

I didn't receive a digest until now, so I'll reply to http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2012-February/083601… We could use the vesa driver, I didn't experienced the vesa driver neither bad for audio, nor bad for MIDI hardcore-real-time, but it's odd regarding to the supported resolutions ;), hence I didn't tested it much. On my machine, an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI with an integrated ATI Radeon X1250-based graphics, Athlon dual-core 2.1GHz, I unmounted the HDMI thingy and mounted a NVIDIA GeForce 7200GS. Using the nv driver I get the perfect Linux MIDI DAW. Using the nouveau driver I can use it around two minutes with a slow motion performance for the DE and then I need to push the reset button, since everything is frozen. I needed to replace the ATI with the NVIDI, because the integrated ATI can't be used with 3D acceleration. I don't need 3D acceleration for the kernel-rt, but I wish to have it supported for a "regular" kernel, since I wish to be able to google the earth, if I wish to do, to produce 3D animations, if I wish to do etc.. There's no 3.2.0-rt on my machine, latest kernel I use is 3.0.x. I didn't decide to use NVIDIA. When I bought my hardware I didn't have the money to buy Intel, I decided to get ATI, since I used NVIDIA before. Much of my machine is from bulk garbage. Here NVIDI is a less PITA than ATI is. A rose is a rose is a rose. Or: Experimental is experimental is experimental. It shouldn't be the policy to drop something that works and replace it with something that currently is "experimental". The policy shouldn't be Appel"oid", IOW there should be some "elbowroom" for the used hardware. When I (we) get my (our) graphics it (they) works OOTB with Linux DAWs! :p² Ralfi

RME Multiface II expansion options

by Brent Busby

I have an RME Multiface-II with PCI-E card, and I'm thinking about getting another 6 to 10 analog ins and outs. Since there are so many people here who are also using RME hardware, I wondered what your thoughts would be on the best way to do this in a way that's friendly to Linux, Jack, and the Alsatools Hammerfall mixer app. If possible, I'd like to still be able to run at 96kHz, so if it involves using the ADAT port, it will probably involve having to use SMUX and only have 4 i/o's. I've also heard it mentioned that one can add another Multiface and a second PCI-E card, but I don't know whether that is supported on Linux. I think there is a way to clock-sync the two if you do that, and I don't know about seeing them both in the mixer. It'd be really nice if I could end up with 16 analog i/o's and nice AD/DA converters. What do you think is the best way to get to that point for a Linux DAW machine? This is RME, so I'm sure it's got to be possible... -- + Brent A.

First netjack test using jackd2: ecasound transport doesn't move

by Joel Roth

These are my first netjack experiments, ever. I followed this reference: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/User/NetJack Here is what I did: #### sound server side (with local soundcard) $ jackd -d alsa hw:0,0 -r 44100 $ jack_netsource -H thinkpad Connected :-) netjack: at frame 000051 -> total netxruns 1 (1%) queue time= 93121 $ ecasound -i test.wav -o jack,system [ sound plays ] ^C #### client side $ jackd -d netone NetOne driver started AutoConfig Override !!! AutoConfig Override: Master JACK sample rate = 44100 AutoConfig Override: capture_channels_audio = 2 AutoConfig Override: capture_channels_midi = 1 AutoConfig Override: playback_channels_audio = 2 AutoConfig Override: playback_channels_midi = 1 MTU is set to 1400 bytes $ jack_lsp system:capture_1 system:capture_2 system:capture_3 system:playback_1 system:playback_2 system:playback_3 $ ecasound -i cdda.wav -f f32_le,2,44100 -o jack,<CLIENT>,<TRANSPORT> -c for TRANSPORT settings: send sendrec notransport for JACK CLIENT setting: "system" and "system:playback_1" The transport stays stuck at position 0.0, and the 'start' command does not start the engine, which remains in status 'stopped'. Grateful for ideas where I should go next, Thanks, -- Joel Roth

OSC-aware applications

by Hartmut Noack

Hello, I'd like to use controllers, that send OSC via Wifi with synths on Linux. Is there any OSC receiver available, that can fetch OSC and route it to aware applications? Preferably including the capability to convert the incoming messages to MIDI to be used with Alsa and/or Jack MIDI? Crude workarounds are welcome too, as long as they somehow do work ;-) best regards HZN

Linux 3.2.0-rt Kernels on Debian Repos!

by David Baron

New flash! First time I have seen such a thing. On Debian SId (unstable). The two dkms modules I have: Vboxdrv.ko built fine! Nvidia kernel module does not build correctly: Make.log ends with: Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules WARNING: could not find /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/295.20/build/.nv- kernel.o.i386.cmd for /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/295.20/build/nv-kernel.o.i386 FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'migrate_enable' make[4]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 make[3]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-1-rt-686-pae' make: *** [modules] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/295.20/build' There have been past problems with nvidia stuff compiling for rt kernels which was fixable in the source. The above looks like something else! Something can be overridden to get this to modpost? Anyway, a small step for -rt, a big step for linux audio :-) (No objection to running nouveau but it is problably no good enough for DAW software which often has animation, i.e. meters, etc.)

FWIW, it also builds fine on Arch Linux: spinymouse@oz:~$ ls /mnt/archlinux/lib/modules/3.0-rt/extramodules vboxdrv.ko.gz vboxnetadp.ko.gz vboxnetflt.ko.gz vboxpci.ko.gz Arch Linux still provides the nv driver.

CLIJACK -- new release

by Aaron Krister Johnson

Greetings fellow Linux audio folk, Some unknown handful of you (Julien Classen for sure at one point) may have used 'jackctl.py' for CLI starting of a JACK server and making JACK connections. I've now renamed the project 'CLIJACK' because it appears there's an unrelated script called 'jackctl.py' in the sources for JACK itself, and I wanted to avoid any confusion. CLIJACK is a little Python app that serves as a user-friendly command-line frontend to jackd, jack_connect, and aconnect. It allows one to quickly and efficiently connect jack ports, alsa midi ports, jack midi ports, etc. in the manner of QjackCtl, but without the GUI, and the possible bloat of the packages required by the same. Good for lean 'n mean systems, etc. So, CLIJACK is now being released, new title, a bit of new code...I did some code cleanup today, the biggest changes being: * From CLIJACK, the jackd server itself can be launched via an environment variable, CLIJACK_COMMAND. Using this, one can start or stop the server from within CLIJACK via the 's' command. This of course was the same in 'jackctl.py', however, one had to edit the 'jackctl.py' script itself to change the jackd command; now, it's modular and removed into the user's environment. * Non-critical alerts from jackd do not interrupt the interface of CLIJACK anymore (example: missing libffado, etc.) * More sensible killing of the jack server from within CLIJACK, including sending a killall message.... * More use of newlines to make multi-lined messages prettier and cleaner. I will eventually get the project correctly packaged onto the Python apps listings, and sourceforge, etc., but for now, you can download the script directly from my site if you're interested: http://www.akjmusic.com/software/clijack-20120223.py I'd love feedback!
