[LAU] LiSP (Linux Show Player) - player specifically designed for stage productions

by Francesco Ceruti

I'm happy to announce the release of LiSP (Linux Show Player)! "LiSP (Linux Show Player)" is a sound player specifically designed for stage productions. The goal of the project is to provide a stable and complete playback software for musical plays, theatre shows and similar. Features: - Button matrix user interface, suited for touchscreens; - Multiple tracks playback; - Sound FX: gain, equalization, pitch shift, speed control and compression applied in real time on each track - Peak and ReplayGainnormalization - Remote control over IP of slave/backup PC; "LiSP (Linux Show Player)" is developed in Python and based on GStreamer and PyQt. "LiSP (Linux Show Player)" is available at: http://code.google.com/p/linux-show-player/ Please report bugs using the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/linux-show-player/issues/list If you're a developer and want to contribute to "LiSP (Linux Show Player)", join the project. Thanks. P.s. Probably I'll create a (google) group for developers and one for requests and suggestions from users.

I found out that there are 2 apps: "Connectbot" and "X server" in the market that that may do the job with android. Connectbot doesn't provide the "-X" option so we should set up the DISPLAY variable accordingly with the ip-port on the X server app. Maybe i'm just wasting my time but i will give it a try... > > Jeremy > >> [1]http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/raspberrypi >> [2]http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/970 >> [3]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Terratec-Aureon-Dual-USB-Notebook/dp/B000WL23KC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366289839&sr=8-1&keywords=terratec+aureon+dual+usb >> >> >> [4]http://www.edimax.co.uk/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=328&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44 >> >> >> >> Nicola > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user -- "Happiness only real when shared" C.

[LAU] "band in a box" solution for linux?

by Rusty Perez

Hi folks, The question earlier today about a stage worthy multi-track backing track solution made me think of "Band-In-A-Box" a windows tool for creating style bassed tracks. I also have an OLD!!! Roland arranger keyboard which does something similar. Is there an equivalent program for Linux which has banks of styles, and you input chord sequences to be played by the "band?" Thanks! Rusty

[LAU] Soundcard DSP2000 is not recognized any more

by Chris Bungue

Since two weeks I have a problem with my soundcard DSP2000 C-Port.(Hoontech) When I start the computer the soundcard is not recognized by the system. Sometimes it works when I restart the computer. But today I try to reboot the machine four times and the card is still not recognized. I haven't hat those problems before. The DSP2000has worked without problems for the last two years. I'm on ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.8.0-14-lowlatency with KX Studio. The power LED is on, but the other four LEDs for the channels are out. I have try to start the driver in terminal: sudo modprobe snd_ice1712 but nothing happens. Any ideas? thanks for help chris **

[LAU] delta 1010 (yes) / delta 2496 (no)

Hi, although sidetracked by life for a while, I finally got around to rebuilding my linux audio box.

Could it be because they share the same bus (05) that somehow they don't work together? Also, regardless of which slot the physical cards are inserted into, only the delta 1010 is ever exposed by ALSA. To be sure, I also confirmed that the 2496 does indeed work by inserting it into a different test box. Any insight would be appreciated. David

[LAU] Missing?

by Folderol

Has anyone been able to email Jeremy Jongepier recently? I've tried to contact him via my nomal address and me sourceforge one (don't often use that). Both of these get rejected by a spam trap :( -- 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.

[LAU] Website change

by Folderol

As well as ogg and mp3 download links my site has a minimal in-line player. Seeing as almost all browsers have their own embedded player these days I'm thinking of removing mine. This will not only get rid of flash, but also the javascript that supports it (and nothing else). What do people think? -- 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.

[LAU] echo3g

by İzlem Gözükeleş

Hello, We use Echo Layla 3G on HP Z400 workstations with Debian Squeeze (alsa 1.0.23) for two years. Sometimes we get annoying timeout errors (wait_handshake(): Timeout waiting for DSP). These errors mostly occur when the computer had been idle more than one or two days. Very very rarely we had timeout error while the computer was playing. 1. Computer's sleep mode is disabled from Gnome's power management. 2. Errors mostly occur while it had been idle for a along time. However, we couldn't predict the exact time. In other words, we can't say that the errors occur after 24 hour or 36 hour idle time. 3. Besides Echo Layla 3G, we have another soundcard. After the time out error, although Layla doesn't work, there aren't any problems for the other soundcard. 4. There aren't any information about the error, just,"wait_handshake(): Timeout waiting for DSP" lines. 5. We tried increasing timeout value for the echo3g driver. But nothing changed. What can we do? The error message (wait_handshake(): Timeout waiting for DSP) is very limited. How can we find the real cause? thanks

Not really any ideas... except I think the dsp2000 has a unit selection switch on it that has to be set as the first unit (not sure if that is unit 0 or unit 1) with dip switches. Maybe check that hasn't be moved by accident. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net

[LAU] USB cassette player only recognized as mono device

by Jim Henderson

I've just purchased an inexpensive USB cassette player in order to archive/preserve some audio cassette recordings of some interviews I did years ago, and I've run into a slight issue with the detection of the device. The device identifies as a JMTek USB Audio Device (Vendor 0c76, Device 160a). I'm using openSUSE 12.2. When I plug the device in and connect to it with Audacity, and I only get a mono channel (rather than a stereo setup). Looking at the output of "lsusb -v", I see that the input terminal is identified as a microphone with one channel. (Output of lsusb -v is at the end of this post) If I start a Windows XP VM in Virtualbox and connect the device to that, it is recognized (in Windows) as a stereo device, and I can record left and right channels, so the hardware should be recognized as having stereo channels via USB. There are no special drivers installed for the Windows VM (it was just "plug and play"). I'd much rather not have to boot up a Windows VM in order to record audio from this device. I also would prefer to not use line-in, as I almost always have ended up with a 60 cycle hum recording that way, and I don't get that if I record over the USB connection (the USB connection also powers the device). snd_usb_audio is automatically loading when I plug the device in. Are there any tricks that I might apply to getting this device recognized properly or to diagnose why it's being identified as a mono device?
