This is Steinway_IMIS soundfont, version 2.2.
ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/sf2/Steinway_IMIS2.2
This version fixes the issue with loops. I hope this is the good one
and there are no more remaining major bugs.
Marcos is a little busy right now, so he asked me to make this fix. He
is thinking to make other improvements, so expect more updates soon.
I'm the (un?)lucky owner of an M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB audio
interface and I'm having some serious problems getting this device to
record audio reliably under Linux.
I've been using arecord and occasionally Audacity for all of my
testing. My problem is this: Recording a take works about 80% of the
time. In the remaining ~20% of cases, the captured audio is extremely
loud with severe digital distortion. Once this problem shows up, it
persists for any subsequent takes. The only way I've found to make
the problem go away, at least temporarily, is to power-cycle the Fast
Track Pro.
I considered the possibility that this particular device might be
defective, but it seems to work wonderfully under Windows.
I'm calling out to other Fast Track Pro users in the hope that someone
out there has encountered the same problem and better still, found a
solution.
Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
Does anyone know of a good plugin that will generate subharmonics?
I would like to put a little more low frequency "oomph" into my bass
track. Preferrable LADSPA, but VST would work, too.
Thanks for any help!

Research tells me that QSynth seems to be the only currently
available/usable GUI for FluidSynth, but I get big xruns whenever I try and
use it. FluidSynth itself doesn't cause me problems (I know because I'm able
to use the FluidSynth-DSSI plugin fine in Rosegarden etc). The problem is
that I want to use FluidSynth with Ardour3, but Ardour3 doesn't support DSSI
plugins yet. So the only solution I have is to find a standalone interface
for FluidSynth and then to link up using Jack. I looked at the old GUI
'FluidGUI' but it seems to be so old that it won't properly install on
recent versions of Ubuntu.
So does anyone know of:
1) A GUI for FluidSynth other than QSynth and FluidGUI?... or
2) An application other than the above 2 which would allow me to load
soundfonts?
Thanks in advance.

I was very excited to find a video of the
complete
Tristan and Isolde on YouTube recently,
complete with
English subtitles.
I used the youtube-dl utility to grab the video,
but
when I began playing the copy on my hard-drive
with
totem, to my horror, the English subtitles
were
not there! To repeat, the subtitles are on
youtube.com but not in the .webm file that
I
downloaded with youtube-dl.
Can someone coach me how to download a version
with the English subtitles? Or are there subtitles
in my downloaded version and totem is just not
playing them?
Thank you for your help.
P.S. On the totem menu under View, there
is a
command called Subtitles
but this prompts me for
another file.
Is there a subtitle file in addition
to
the video file that I need to download from
youtube? Thanks again.
Hi all!
I found this old discussion about the Zoom R16 in the archive of LAU.
http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2012/3/14/188926
Strangely, in that archive there is a missing reply from Mr. Brett McCoy.
(You can find the missing one a the bottom of this archive:
http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/Zoom-R16-td7748.html )
Mr. McCoy claims to have enabled the Zoom R8 (yes, there is quite a
difference between r16 and r8) as a multi-input soundcard for ardour and
also as a control surface in 12.04 64bits.
There is no information as to which driver is being in use in his post. And
searching the web only leads me to various WIP to get the R16 running on
linux.
My question is, has anyone got any news about this device and a possible
drivers?
Specifically to Mr. Brett McCoy: what driver did you use to make jack aware
of your r8?
Thank full for any hints, yours,

Hi,
Some old posts exist about the UAC2 support for the Sound Devices USBPre2 but some problem remains.
The current status is that this sound card is supported as a USB 1.1 card in high-speed mode.
But this card is not seen as a Usb Audio Class 2 on Linux. On Mac OS X this card is recognized as UAC2.
My principal problem is that the "device descriptor" provided by the card is always a USB1.1 class
There is two modes of boot for the card (pressing the "1" button, the card is in full speed mode, without pressing in UAC2 mode)
There is only one difference between these two modes in the lsusb -v : the "bInterval" go to 4 from 1.
This is already view by Clemens on:
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2011-October/081275.…
In this another post, we can seen:

Strange, I have never 2 on bNumConfigurations ! Somebody can test it on its card ?
This is perhaps my problem, my card only provides one "Configuration Descriptor".
The second one is certainly the UAC2 "Configuration Descriptor".
The lsusb without 1 pressed : http://pastebin.com/8yjjASv7
The lsusb with 1 pressed : http://pastebin.com/pGFdjR4K
The usbmon trace of the insertion of the usbpre2 (without "1") : http://pastebin.com/pySC4Age
This sound card is great, it is very disappointing to not be able to used it with all functionnalities.
I search help in order to debug this problem.
I am devlopper, I can test kernel patches without problem.
Thank for any idea (or patch).

Hi,
QMidiArp 0.5.2 has just seen the light of the day. It brings mainly
two improvements. One is a comeback, that of tempo changes on the fly,
and that now includes also tempo changes of a potential Jack Transport
master. Also the Jack Transport starting position is finally taken into
account, so that QMidiArp should be in sync also when starting the
transport master not at zero.
The second one is Non Session Manager support, mainly thanks to the work done by Roy Vegard Ovesen!
Note that for compiling in NSM support you will now need liblo as dependency.
Enjoy, and enjoy LAC in Graz this year
Frank

QMidiArp is an advanced MIDI arpeggiator, programmable step sequencer and LFO.
Everything is on
http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net
qmidiarp-0.5.2 (2013-05-09)
New Features
o Tempo changes are again possible while running, both manually or by
a Jack Transport Master
o Jack Transport position is now taken into account when starting,
QMidiArp used to start always at zero
o Muting and sequencer parameter changes can be deferred to pattern
end using a new toolbutton
o Modules in the Global Storage window have mute/defer buttons
o Global Storage location switches can be set to affect only the pattern
o Non Session Manager support with "switch" capability (thanks to
Roy Vegard Ovesen)
General Changes
o NSM support requires liblo development headers (liblo-dev package)
Dear List,
I have a strange and unreproducable error on my laptop, that halts the
entire audio system randomly about once every three weeks.
Jackd quits, with it all clients, and dmesg says:

[21684.947498] Disabling IRQ #19
The sound card is an RME Multiface via an ExpressCard in a Thinkpad
X201s. The card itself had been working reliably since more than ten
years by now (not with the ExpressCard though). Running on Debian RT
Kernel.
I have no way to set/change the IRQ assignments in this BIOS.
Interrupt 19 is shared by modules ehci_hcd:usb2, ips, snd_hdsp,
where the two others are USB and the thermal subsystem.
I assume ehci_hcd:usb2 denotes the second USB bus. If this is correct,
there are no devices connected to it at the moment, according to lsusb
(except for USB hubs).
Web research has shown that people suggest using the kernel option
"irqpoll" or disable "threadirqs", use "noirqdebug" or "irqdebug" options
(apparently quite expensive in computation), or the irqbalance
package.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133327 gives a hint about
deinstalling laptop-mode-tools, which I am running, and which made the
problem go away for the poster.
As the error occurs so infrequently, I can not yet verify if any of
these help, and am hoping for some hints or experience from this list.
Please, any help or ideas are desperately needed, as this is a
production system that is used in live shows in front of large
audiences, and I absolutely need to resolve that error.
Thank you for all ideas,
best, Peter

That was without "-v".
Please run "lsusb -v -d 0582:0120".

How to do this depends on the distribution.

That is what happens with the Quad-Capture.
