squeakyshoecore ep out - 100% Pure Data!

by Chris McCormick

Hey Pd-people and Linux Audio User's list, I'm excited to let you know that my new EP, made 100% with Pure Data, is out now on UK algorave label ChordPunch! If you liked the previous squeakyshoecore releases this was made with the same software and represents an evolution in that direction. iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/squeakyshoecore-ep/id517096205 Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007RX7GJG/ Spotify: spotify:search:squeakyshoecore ChordPunch info: http://chordpunch.com/releases/cp0x07/ I would really appreciate it if you would give it a review, share, listen, buy, etc. Visit this page to like/share it on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus: http://sciencegirlrecords.com/chr15m/squeakyshoecore Any help you can give me getting the word out would be very appreciated. Thank you so much! Oh, and here are the (GPL) patches, which are midi-learn friendly :) http://mccormick.cx/projects/GarageAcidLab/ Have fun! Cheers, Chris. -- http://mccormick.cx/

Re: [LAU] Issue with the priority of the sound cards using rtirq

by Ralf Mardorf

The config of the Ubuntu Studio Precise kernel 3.2.0-23-lowlatency, seems to be ready to use it with threadirqs as boot option. Anyway, I still get $ /etc/init.d/rtirq status PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 92 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/8-rtc0 85 FF 85 - 125 0.0 S irq/18-ohci_hcd 89 FF 84 - 124 0.0 S irq/18-ohci_hcd 611 FF 83 - 123 0.0 S irq/18-snd_hdsp 1285 FF 82 - 122 0.8 S irq/18-nvidia 652 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/20-snd_ice1 656 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/21-snd_ice1 instead the of the wanted $ /etc/init.d/rtirq status PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 384 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/8-rtc0 1102 FF 85 - 125 0.0 S irq/18-hdspm 1123 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/20-ICE1712 1135 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/21-ICE1712 So for the moment I guess it's better instead of using $ grep RTIRQ_NAME_LIST /etc/default/rtirq RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc hdspm snd usb i8042" which does the trick for other installs, to use $ grep RTIRQ_NAME_LIST /etc/default/rtirq RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc snd usb i8042" since this results in $ /etc/init.d/rtirq status PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 92 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/8-rtc0 702 FF 85 - 125 0.0 S irq/20-snd_ice1 724 FF 85 - 125 0.0 S irq/21-snd_ice1 717 FF 83 - 123 0.0 S irq/18-snd_hdsp 1348 FF 82 - 122 0.8 S irq/18-nvidia 78 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/19-ehci_hcd 80 FF 80 - 120 0.3 S irq/16-ohci_hcd 82 FF 79 - 119 0.0 S irq/17-ohci_hcd 84 FF 78 - 118 0.0 S irq/18-ohci_hcd 87 FF 78 - 118 0.0 S irq/17-ohci_hcd 89 FF 77 - 117 0.0 S irq/18-ohci_hcd 91 FF 75 - 115 0.0 S irq/1-i8042 20 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/9-acpi 67 FF 50 - 90 0.2 S irq/22-ahci 279 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/14-pata_ati 280 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/15-pata_ati 292 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/22-firewire 561 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/7-parport0 1020 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/43-eth0 3 TS - 0 19 0.2 S ksoftirqd/0 9 TS - 0 19 0.2 S ksoftirqd/1 so my MIDI interfaces snd_ice1... get a higher priority than the audio card snd_hdsp..., but at least all the other stuff get a lower priority. On other installs I also got/get the wanted priority for a non-rt, with threadirqs, e.g.: spinymouse@avlinux:~$ uname -a Linux avlinux 3.0.23-avl-7-pae #28 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 1 19:14:14 EST 2012 i686 GNU/Linux spinymouse@avlinux:~$ /etc/init.d/rtirq status PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 452 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/8-rtc0 1028 FF 85 - 125 0.0 S irq/18-hdspm 1040 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/20-ICE1712 1042 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/21-ICE1712 615 FF 75 - 115 0.0 S irq/19-ehci_hcd 620 FF 75 - 115 0.2 S irq/16-ohci_hcd 622 FF 74 - 114 0.0 S irq/17-ohci_hcd 626 FF 73 - 113 0.0 S irq/17-ohci_hcd 445 FF 70 - 110 0.0 S irq/1-i8042 96 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/9-acpi 621 FF 50 - 90 0.1 S irq/22-firewire 625 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/18-ohci_hcd 627 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/18-ohci_hcd 628 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/14-pata_ati 629 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/15-pata_ati 634 FF 50 - 90 0.3 S irq/22-ahci 909 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/7-parport0 1414 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/43-eth0 3 TS - 0 19 0.0 S ksoftirqd/0 9 TS - 0 19 0.0 S ksoftirqd/1 Could it be the kernel version or video driver? Any hints are welcome, Ralf PS: I did not test if it really does matter if the audio card has a higher or lower priority than the MIDI cards.

mplayer and displaying tags

by Julien Claassen

Hello Everyone! It has been a while, since mplayer showed tags of ogg and flac files. For those it just says: Load subtitles in ./ It shows that for other formats too, but before that message, it gives the tag info. I did compile mplayer with a lot of enable options and a few disable options. I disabled graphics, some audio drivers and controllers (LIRC, etc.). My vorbis libraries were the latest at the time. It did work until a year or so ago. Does anyone else have that or similar problems? Anyone have a solution? Here's all, that might be of help: MPlayer SVN-r33917-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team 163 audio & 363 video codecs flac 1.2.1 oggenc from vorbis-tools 1.4.0 libkate.so.1.2.1 (Mplayer knows about that) Anything else?

Ok, thanks for the report, sounds like I should stick with neil (when not using renoise)... -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk

small usb interface (1in 2out)

by yvan volochine

hi, sorry to post YAThread about usb interfaces but I need a small usb one with 1 in and 2 out (basically a mic and a loud stereo out). I have seen the 2 following ones and I wonder if you guys and girls could give me some wise advices about them (or any other tip really): - esi ugm96: www.esi-audio.com/products/ugm96/ the output seem weird, there's a line-out and a headphone out. wondering if there's any difference between the 2 (i.e. can I use both as mono-out?). pros: very small, +20v for mic input cons: no level control, wondering about outputs.. - m-audio fast track usb: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrack.html pros: input/output levels, cheap cons: RCA output (bouh) thanks in advance ! cheers, y -- yvan.volochine(a)gmail.com http://yvanvolochine.com

The one page: > http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/all Is it ok to register, add an app, but not to update it, if e.g. the link should change? I would like to add nano_basket, but I don't think I could take care, if it will be still ok in the future.
