Screencasting: record both desktop and microphone

by Louigi Verona

Hey everyone! I am now successfully using Simple Screen Recorder to record screencasts. It is a very stable program with impressive options and end results. The only thing that I am trying to figure out - is how to record both the desktop and microphone. I see "let's play" videos all over YouTube and people on Windows don't seem to have any problem with this. Is it doable on Linux? -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.ru/

by David Santamauro

Hi all, I'd like to expand my MIDI ports and have been looking at the Motu micro lite [1] or the Midisport 4x4[2] Does anyone have positive or negative experience with either of these devices? I'm running a stock fedora 20 distribition (latest updates etc.) thanks for any input!

no audion from inputs 5&6 of ice1712 sound card

by Athanasios Silis

hi all I have a Hoontech sta audio 24 audio card with external ADC-DAC2000 8in-8out (unbalanced) box. I have not used this one in a few years (~2-3) but now that I reconnected it, I realise that IN channels 5&6 I get no sound.. the VUmeteres in mudita24 and envy24 mixers do not register any sound. it strikes me as odd if both channels decided to die together. Is it possible that something is muted or disabled and I do not find its control inside mudita24 mixer? note that all other (analog) 6 inputs and 8 outputs work like a charm. thank you for your help!

mid channels on arturia beatstep

by Athanasios Silis

hi all, I recently bought an arturia beatstep that I'm planningto use for audio routing control and music composition in linux. I am currently monitoring "all midi stuff" that come out of this little midi controller , using "qmidiroute" to see the event log. I see that all commands that are sent from Arturia's beatstep are on midi channel 1. I tried changing that from beatstep surface, (holding down "CHAN" button and selecting a channel from the 16 pads) but the event log still registers midi information on channel 1. am I doing something the wrong way? or does beatstep only step signal on midi channel 1 Only? thank you in advance for you help!

Paul, I'm curious, do you remember the name of the product or company? We all must admit that in the consumer electronic market it is not about how novel a product is, but how it is presented, advertised and whether it comes at the right time or not. Think about the Microsoft guy who held a tablet in its hands during a keynote well before the Apple guy. And probably someone before him did the same with an even uglier device. :) BTW it is not only about market. It happens the same with open SW/HW or the academic community.

Small instrument hardware module

by rosea grammostola

Hi, Is it possible to install JACK etc. and for instance Pianoteq on a device like this, to create your own instrument module? http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpro_id_58_pid_22.html Regards, Dirk

Re: [LAU] Embertone Friedlander Violin on Linux - was Re: Recommended near-realistic strings section generator?

by Aiyumi Moriya

Progress! I compiled JACK2 (64-bit, and also a 32-bit version because Dssi-VST Git needs it) and Dssi-VST Git. I put "$HOME/vst" in my "$VST_PATH" and made a symlink to "Kontakt 5.dll" as "$HOME/vst/kontakt5.dll" because Jack-dssi-host doesn't seem to like spaces in plugin filenames (quoting or escaping didn't work). I started JACK, then loaded the VST through Jack-dssi-host. $ jack-dssi-host dssi-vst.so:kontakt5.dll& Kontakt's VST loaded fine. A lot of JACK ports appeared (64 ports! O_O), automatically connected to "system:playback_*". I connected the Kontakt's JACK MIDI port to my keyboard's, and chose a freeware instrument (just for testing) from Kontakt's "Files" tab. It loaded as it should, and playing my keyboard produced the sounds just fine! Yes! I could even record the output by using Ecasound! ... However, I didn't have the same luck with the Friedlander Violin... Choosing an instrument from the "Files" tab doesn't work because it's encrypted and needs to be activated. It's a "Powered by Kontakt Player" instrument, and the option to activate it doesn't appear unless it's loaded through the "Add Library" button first. The problem is that when I try to "Add Library", Kontakt prompts me to choose the location where the library is installed, and when I select the directory, it gives me a "No library found" error. I'm sure I'm pointing to the right place (the directory containing the "Instruments" and "Samples" sub directories, the ".nkr" and the ".nicnt" files). Just to make sure, I followed exactly the same steps on Windows and the library loaded with no problems (but I didn't activate it because I want to do it on Linux!), though it was the standalone version instead of the VST. I hope this doesn't mean that adding libraries only work on the standalone interface, because on Wine I still can't get past the initial audio setup screen... Any ideas? I feel so close... -- ____________________ Blog: http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/
