Hi frieds
Does anybody know if brilliant bristol softtware emulator is still
developing ?
I am very looking forward to Synthi AKS, which was not implemented yet.
And of course many thanks to devs. Its great software.

Hey fellas!
I am having problems with syncing seq24. As soon as I choose any JACK
Transport option for it, it stops playing. I tried restarting it, I tired
various combinations of those options so that seq24 will even start
Hydrogen, but it will not send midi itself.
Any advice?

It is interesting how people's experience shapes what they expect. Apple
was always out of my price range and still is. I started out with an atari
mega and various bought/shareware/freeware/DIYware. It had a nice
sequencer and as I had only 4 tracks, putting MTC on one track gave me
drums and keys up to 16 tracks as well as three analog tracks. Got
interested in BBSs and set one up. only problem I couldn't do music at the
same time. Got an old (even then) 286 MB and PS (no case) and put DRdos on
it and ran maximus. A friend had windows (3.1 back then) ran two lines,
when the second line connected, the first slowed down to 1/4... we're
talking 3kbaud here, and had to use a mechanical timer to restart the
system at least once a day. So when I went two lines I used OS/2 (IBM was
giving 2.1 away in hopes of selling 3.0) I could go on holidays for two
weeks and come back to a running system. One line had no effect on the
other. Then the Internet started to show up. I wanted to do networking,
but IBM wanted big money for network drivers for OS/2. Windows didn't
really have it either. and this was still pre win95. I ended up with Linux
about 93 or 94, Slackware pre 1.0. I ported my BBS over (hand coded the
lot) and have been with it ever since. Apple is still over priced and
windows has never really (for me) caught up, at least in the things that
matter. I have experienced windows in various ways. 95 on my wifes
machine, till it got infected, NT at work, saw lots of crashes, we used
Linux to load/back it up though, win ME was broken and never fixed, win 7
is slow, even Ubuntu vanilla is faster.
So Apple has priced themselves out of my interest. I can't afford the
hardware, and most SW has to be bought. Windows still doesn't just work,
you seem to need to buy a boat load of utilities to keep it infection free
and keep it from slowing down, it really isn't a multi user system, but a
multiuser hack on top of a single user kernel (last I checked). MS does
not fix problems in a timely manner. The license seems to indicate that if
I make music on their system they own a part of it. They seem to have a
right to all the files on my disk too... not acceptable. (maybe the lic
has changed?) Anyone with that kind of license would have a right to add
access for themselves to my computer.
So for me migrating to Linux has never been an issue, it is where I
started, and every time I look at something else... switching looks really
painful, better to make what I have work.

PS: What software and hardware do you use to make music?
Are you still using Linux software in addition to other software?

Oops, drives spin up and down with GNOME 2 too, just the intervals are
very looooooooooong.
I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to use the Guitarix-Amp
and Guitarix-FX LADSPA plugins on a headless system (read Raspberry Pi).
I've tried it with Ecasound but it already consumes more CPU than the
guitarix application itself! So I'm obviously doing something wrong.
Maybe this is because the Guitarix-Amp plugin has one input and two
outputs, read something about Ecasound starting up multiple instances of
the plugin in such a case which is not what I want. So any hints or tips
on getting this to run smoothly? I can use either JACK or ALSA directly.
I prefer using JACK, somehow using bare ALSA produces large amounts of
xruns.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
I joined this list when I was a linux user, but since I did a gear
upgrade I wasn't anymore able to use linux to do my music work. My
question is, is it alright to ask for you guys opinions on my works even
tough they were not 100% made in Linux ?
All the best,

I guess for BT devices, the question becomes are there any good quality BT
headsets. The large majority have got to be celphone quality devices.

That explains things pretty clearly all right. The rumors have been all
the way from "it's coming" to "dead in the water". It seems it's coming.
but not any time soon :)
The next question is: While I can find lots of FW audio IFs for sale, I
don't see FW ports on a lot of new motherboards (both desk and lap), Is FW
going away? Are there new FW audio IF still coming out or are all those
ones I see older designs? When will we see USB3 designs? (I know latency
is no better, but there are other reasons it makes sense)
