Hello everyone!
this is perghaps not straight on topic, but I couldn't find a satisfactory
answer anywhere else.
I'm having trouble with my JV-1080. Only every second note gets played. I
checked different input devices and different cables, direct and indirect
connections.
It seems to be a problem of the Roland itself. Internal sounds, demos and
the preview button, work fine. Any idea, what this might be? It looks so
systematic, as if it might be by design, but I don't know any feature, which
should allow for that.
Sorry to spam the list and thanks for following me so far.
Warm regards
Julien

Hi list,
I know this is a contravercial subject, but I'd like to hear some viewpoints.
I use a delta 1010lt card. I'm wondering if I should carefully set my
input levels for each input source, or, if the digital convenience of
normalizing and dc ofset makes up for level defficiencies, without
adding noise.
I know the concern here is signal to noise ratio.
Would my delta add noise if I boosted input levels initially or, in
normalizing, am I just boosting the audio with the snr which I would
have recordedif I had boosted my input levels in the first place?
Does that make sense?
Thanks!
Rusty
Hello!
I need to get a vocal microphone. I've had this project several times
before, but now I'm decided. There are a couple of alternatives. there is the
Shure SM5x and there is the SE-220, if my memory doesn't betray me. Any more
suggestions on the topic? I want to pay around 100-200 EUR maximum. This
microphone will be meant solely for singing. No instruments to mic.
Warm regards and sorry for the OT again
Julien

A valid question, but don't care about the dynamic, the real issue with
mastering music that should sound as good as possible on as much
equipment as possible is the whole mix regarding to frequencies, phases
vs mono and stereo.
It's unlikely that noise will become an issue, it's more likely that the
frequencies are biased or that there will be phasing between the
channels.
What faders do you use? The analog inputs have an optimized working
point, perhaps the digital side then is too high or lower than
"optimal". I don't know what positive or negative effects are caused by
digital remachining. Keep the level below 0 dBFS, resp. add headroom.
Too high in all cases is bad, but even a real too low level might be
inaudible.
"I never normalize the tracks in the DAW when mixing. I can't do it with
my analog machine, so I don't do it with my DAW." - Ricardus Vincente
and we can use the volume control of our amps to make the music louder
and quieter. However, optimal leveling at recording time is better, than
postprocessing. Analogy: If a recording does miss frequencies, you can't
raise the missing frequencies, you only can rase frequencies that are
there, but to silent, but this will come with side effects.
Hello everyone!
I've managed it. Music For A new World my first ever album, started with
Nama is online and put together on one site. I checked all the links, but not
all of the spelling. So if you find horrible mistakes, please let me know, if
you liked it and have a quiet evil laugh and be silent, if you didn't. :-)
You will notice, that the mixes might leave something or other to be desired
and are rather lower in volume than my current songs. I didn't use limiting at
the last stage in those days.
Without further ado:

Any feedback is welcome. Enjoy!

I say hallo for Harry ! ;)
F: I have some troubles - read xruns - with this setup:
H: There's a lot more to removing Xruns from a system than just the kernel
and JACK settings (although they are very important :)
F: actually I know realTimeConfigQuickScan, so my output looks:
*[paum@bookes ~]$ realTimeConfigQuickScan *
*== GUI-enabled checks ==*
*Checking if you are root... no - good*
*Checking filesystem 'noatime' parameter... 3.6.11 kernel - good*
*(relatime is default since 2.6.30)*
*Checking CPU Governors... CPU 0: 'performance' CPU 1: 'performance' CPU 2:
'performance' CPU 3: 'performance' - good*
*Checking swappiness... 10 - good*
*Checking for resource-intensive background processes... none found - good*
*Checking checking sysctl inotify max_user_watches... >= 524288 - good*
*Checking access to the high precision event timer... readable - good*
*Checking access to the real-time clock... readable - good*
*Checking whether you're in the 'audio' group... yes - good*
*Checking for multiple 'audio' groups... no - good*
*Checking the ability to prioritize processes with chrt... yes - good*
*Checking kernel support for high resolution timers... found - good*
*Kernel with Real-Time Preemption... not found - not good*
*Kernel without real-time capabilities found*
*For more information, see
http://wiki.linuxmusicians.com/doku.php?id=system_configuration#installing_…
*
*Checking if kernel system timer is set to 1000 hz... found - good*
*Checking kernel support for tickless timer... found - good*
*== Other checks ==*
*Checking filesystem types... ok.*
*ok.*
*** Set $SOUND_CARD_IRQ to the IRQ of your soundcard to enable more checks.*
* Find your sound card's IRQ by looking at '/proc/interrupts' and lspci.*
*[paum@bookes ~]$ *
and I dont understand two things:
*Kernel with Real-Time Preemption... not found - not good*
*Kernel without real-time capabilities found*
*BUT*
*[paum@bookes ~]$ uname -a*
*Linux bookes 3.6.11-rt33-1-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sun Apr 28 12:18:40 CEST
2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux*
*[paum@bookes ~]$ *
and the second, how to:
** Set $SOUND_CARD_IRQ to the IRQ of your soundcard to enable more checks.
Find your sound card's IRQ by looking at '/proc/interrupts' and lspci.
??
H: Known things that need to be done:
-Interrupt requests of your hardware must be prioritized (rtirq
script helps here)
F: my system says:
rtirq.service loaded active exited Realtime IRQ
thread system tuning
H: -Interrupt thread handlers (on RT kernel) must be prioritized
F: how to ?
H: -Thread priorities must be checked for JACK itself
F: How to ?
H: Some other things to look into are:
-CPU scaling (causes Xruns here, although others say it works fine)
-WiFi (must be disabled here: "iwconfig wlan0 txpower off", not just
disconnected)
-Graphics chip drivers (I'm using a standard xf86-video driver for
my ATI HD2400XT)
F: CPU scaling seems good:
*Checking CPU Governors... CPU 0: 'performance' CPU 1: 'performance'
CPU 2: 'performance' CPU 3: 'performance' - good*
WiFi - thats pity, because I often use my phone as controller
(TouchOSC)
Graphics - Nvidia - I am using noveau driver
H: That's a good start anyway: If I find some time, I'll write a quick
post on tuning an Arch system for maximum low-lat RT performance.
F: appreciated ;)
F: My aim is to get as low latency as possible.
H :Please specify... How low is low :D I've achieved 0.3ms at 96kHz,
running a CPU stress test on each core without Xruns, so I'm pretty happy
with that... since the hardware (Echo Indigo DJ PCMCIA) can't handle any
lower!
F: oh, great !. it could be an ideal for me. I use various acoustic
instruments for live playing, so yes I am talking about less than 4ms
F: but none of them was without xruns when running:
pd - plugins - ardour
H: PD is a bit of a xrun hog on my machine here: not bashing PD, I
probably don't have it set up with ideally. But perhaps try running eg
Ardour on its own for testing purposes? Or another simple app which isn't
as dependent on the "patch" that's loaded..?
HTH, -Harry

Hi there
I'm trying to connect my Esi Quatafire to a new laptop which doesn't have
any firewire port. I'm using the DisplayPort (known also as Thunderbolt)
and an adapter (?) to firewire.
If I run ffado-diag (full log attached), it says:
=== REPORT ===
FireWire kernel drivers:
FireWire kernel stack not present. Please compile the kernel with
FireWire support.
I'm on debian sid.
I have libraw1394-11 version 2.1.0
I wonder if DisplayPort works on Linux...
Thanks for your help
