hi there,
what is the best/easiest way (Debian Jessie) to switch on the phantom
power of an RME Fireface UCX. I can use the thing out-of-the-box,
however only the analog I/O works. This is fine, but now I need to
toggle the phantom power. Is there a utility I can run that allows me
to control that?
Thanks, .h.h.

Hi
you are my last resource.
I'm trying to start fluidsynth in daemon mode (-s) at the startup. At
first I tried to adapt a guide for Arch but I realized that in Debian
(sid) the configuration is different:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760210
I'm using systemd. I've tried several times to write a proper
fluidsynth.service but I always failed.
Here's my last try:
--------------->----------------------------->---------------------------->
[Unit]

This is the error:

The error about the period size can be avoided setting "-z 940", but I
don't understand why this error appears only when fluidsynth is started
as a systemd service and not when I run that command in a terminal. I
guess that it may be related to when the command is launched in systemd
levels. I think that I should play with the values of After, Before and
Requires in the Unit section.
But I hope that someone in this list can help me, I don't have time
currently to study systemd (and it would be probably too complex for
me).
Thank you in advance.

Yes it's up there now :)
The most noticeable change from a user point of view is that individual part
outputs (corresponding to channel sends on a hardware mixer) are no longer
affected by the main volume control. The panel window has also been updated to
reflect this situation, and red 'clip' bars have been added.
The accuracy of peak and clip indication has been improved and decay times
increased to give a smoother, clearer response.
There are the usual crop of small refinements and bugfixes under the hood.
At the moment Sourceforge is still showing 1.2.3 as the latest version,
although 1.2.4 is there at the top of the 'files' list.
This happened once before and can't remember what the solution was. Has anyone
else had this happen?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hey all!
After quite a long period of "no time or no space to make music", I've
finally had time and peace of mind enough to sit down and make some new
music. I've just published a new track to my SoundCloud, which features
vocals from the user "snowflake" of ccmixter.org (a great resource for
finding acapella/other remix material, which I sincerely recommend). It's a
bit of hiphop/glitch mixed in there, and I hope you'll enjoy it. Please let
me know what you think! :)
https://soundcloud.com/zthmusic/never-stop-raising-the-bar
If there's anyone who can't download from/listen on SoundCloud, just let me
know and I'll arrange for an extra download through the website. The song
is licensed CC-BY-SA-NC.
Thanks a bunch for listening and for any feedback I get!
Cheers,

The Guitarix developers proudly present
Guitarix release 0.31.0
For the uninitiated, Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of plugins[*] and support LADSPA / LV2
plugs as well.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free, preset switching, full Midi and/or remote
controllable (Web UI not included in the distributed tar ball).
Here is the " Ultimate Guide to Getting Started With Guitarix
<http://libremusicproduction.com/articles/ultimate-guide-getting-started-gui…>"
This release fix a bug in the preset naming schema ( vowel mutation in
preset names will crash guitarix) and introduce some new LV2 plugs:
* GxRoomSimulator
* GxDigitalDelay
* GxLiveLooper
Please refer to our project page for more information:

But, if you ever wished to donate the project, I would kindly ask you to

Hey hey everyone,
is there a tool to extract a single cycle wave from sampled audio
automatically without control by sight? I want to extract such a wave from a
voice sample. It won't be singing but talking. That way finding pitch and
experimenting looks difficult for me.
If at all possible, I'm looking for a non graphical utility.
Thank you for suggestions!

256 kilobit mp3? I don't know if I have one that is so little compressed.
The most I've picked up here & there was 96 and below, usually with an un-
known history. Even 128kbit mp3 can be detected in a few seconds. Here I
have done a/b testing against some well produced cd's I've ripped, and
with ogg running at Q7, which gives a filesize similar to an mp3 at 128kb,
and cannot tell the difference. Back these ears up 55 years to before I
started wearing out rifle barrels, and I expect they might detect the
diff.
