Hi, in a recent thread (*) I've finally discovered that my beloved Terratec DMX 6Fire is an old school audio interface so I wonder if switching to a more recent one would result in performance gain or not in the same situation. /raffaele (*) http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2015-January/100436.… -- « Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus »

[LAU] alternative to petri-foo

by Atte

Hi For quickly transforming a few samples into something playable I really liked specimen, which is now petri-foo, which now seems abandoned and has some show-stopping issues here. So I'm looking for an alternative, preferrably: * does splits aka zones aka multi-samples * configurable from GUI * can read flac * can save a "patch" in one file * has basic synth capabilities (envelopes, filter, lfo) * can "layer" samples Any ideas? -- Atte http://atte.dk http://a773.dk

[LAU] Netjack questions

by Russell Hanaghan

I have a resident position at a local live venue haunt doing live sound. Nothing super fancy but we get a great variety of quality acts thru there. I need some more returns to the stage. Probably 2 for live monitors and maybe a cpl for I ear mixes. Rather than going for wired solutions, could u get the latency low enough on netjack to not be a nuisance over wireless? I could also run a single cat 5e or 6 and gig ports too I suppose. Easier than running 4 + shielded pair in this particular instance. Have several older laptops laying about. Is anyone doing something similar to success? Thnx! ~ Russell

[LAU] Currently recommended multi-channel USB interfaces

by Hanns Holger Rutz

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, I came to revisit my MOTU 828mk2 support in Linux; I first thought everything is fine, but today in a rehearsal I was back to random beeps and muted outputs. So... I'm looking for a USB class compliant interface with at least 8 analog I/O, better if it has an additional ADAT input, works totally reliable on Linux (I'm using Debian Jessie), and costs <1000 EUR. Has anyone made good use of either of the following: - - Roland UA-1610 Studio Capture - - Roland UA-1010 Octa-Capture - - MOTU 828x - - MOTU 828 Mk III Hybrid - - MOTU UltraLite MkIII Hybrid - - Allen & Heath ICE-16 - - Steinberg UR824 - - Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 - - Phonic FireFly 808 U - - Tascam 16x08 I was very happy with an RME Fireface UCX, and the Fireface UC would be in my price class, but I couldn't see the ADATs, so it's a bit of wasted money. Also no tricks like heaving to boot under OS X to switch phantom power and this kind of crap. Thanks! best, .h.h. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUlx6BAAoJEKZFmaPaYk6QPAkQAIKoZv0HcYkYhokUdVglsLnb G+aH5Y3/oeO1LTTtf/rCN0CRPHpoQbct2Xt7ZLFWA1fqvFeBR2ylm13DiBBk/xxM tkKA2MwO3rpJadnIWYAXqyJVbCd1nO7VInYGQhrRrQI4QS4oRktcPo0wz4WUCdNM YipHbdyZV8yh68paUy/frzx/hKxzsk4++A4Ft73oQcAd+sw48VzQPDnByEAI2LlL gd7ieHjaWw51vRUMe9lfxDsscO1VVWhMd3yT0e10f6+HzqMc74js9l8Xm4ZU5DIb 7lhSFMRDEHypqdGlX/xIV1tuzrYQC8Hx6cenlyeYw3P6hDBdIYzuIFUKbG7kiPDe nKgNjqxhRd2vu2NkufmHnj1DwzqoZw85kCg9JkaVbcysg+K1ENTTxYFA0PkPHJfn YkqhbCa6LotrWLXhWWq3ZtbS6XC1MjcboGaPzMNb4H96dOI1M8PAueg/Z19EdbR0 rE9pnWMP5OE94n6lznF8mMgnYtIsGmXsLk5kGTYZPeE7iweeRyVL+SyaTvqr5xm4 JExk9aHXb5AOBS0Rd2C0gpN1OEG2R7SaGrMDIpJZcO7qg6vU1VdB+AfCjSUSXoBR vKoxzXo0zHBti/XvEiSD1qparUDdRz5GxKzMHHSC6qYK7UIjc/67thmsP/RMMTZr q4WY723TUC8wf4U59a3+ =KFnr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[LAU] RME HDSPe AIO and amixer cset

by francois juigner

Hi All, I'm have still been struggling for a month, trying to connect mpd (possibly through jack) and brutefir. The present problem is to make the ports assignments through amixer. I tried : amixer cset numid=5 ...... but it looks as if numid=5 is not the proper figure for HDSPe AIO (as it is for HDSP 9652, Multiface...). To make sure it doesn't work, I used Klaus Schulz's scan script, limited to 38 input channels (input 0-17, playback 18-37) and 20 output channels (0-19) for my card. No sound out (whereas I can listen to music through Hdspmixer). Here is my controls.txt file : numid=1,iface=HWDEP,name='Mixer' numid=27,iface=MIXER,name='Phones Level' numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT Frequency' numid=10,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT SyncCheck' numid=22,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT internal (AEB/TEB)' numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='AES Frequency' numid=8,iface=MIXER,name='AES SyncCheck' numid=28,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=1 numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=2 numid=30,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=3 numid=31,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=4 numid=32,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=5 numid=33,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=6 numid=34,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=7 numid=35,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=8 numid=36,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=9 numid=37,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=10 numid=38,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=11 numid=39,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=12 numid=40,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=13 numid=41,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=14 numid=42,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=15 numid=43,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=16 numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='External Rate' numid=25,iface=MIXER,name='Input Level' numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Internal Clock' numid=26,iface=MIXER,name='Output Level' numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Preferred Sync Reference' numid=19,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Input' numid=20,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Out Optical' numid=21,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Out Professional' numid=15,iface=MIXER,name='SPDIF Frequency' numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='SPDIF SyncCheck' numid=18,iface=MIXER,name='SYNC IN Frequency' numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='SYNC IN SyncCheck' numid=24,iface=MIXER,name='Single Speed WordClock Out' numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='System Clock Mode' numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='System Sample Rate' numid=17,iface=MIXER,name='TCO Frequency' numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='TCO SyncCheck' numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='WC Frequency' numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='WC SyncCheck' numid=23,iface=MIXER,name='XLR Breakout Cable' numid=1,iface=HWDEP,name='Mixer' numid=27,iface=MIXER,name='Phones Level' numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT Frequency' numid=10,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT SyncCheck' numid=22,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT internal (AEB/TEB)' numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='AES Frequency' numid=8,iface=MIXER,name='AES SyncCheck' numid=28,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=1 numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=2 numid=30,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=3 numid=31,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=4 numid=32,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=5 numid=33,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=6 numid=34,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=7 numid=35,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=8 numid=36,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=9 numid=37,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=10 numid=38,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=11 numid=39,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=12 numid=40,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=13 numid=41,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=14 numid=42,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=15 numid=43,iface=MIXER,name='Chn',index=16 numid=6,iface=MIXER,name='External Rate' numid=25,iface=MIXER,name='Input Level' numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Internal Clock' numid=26,iface=MIXER,name='Output Level' numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Preferred Sync Reference' numid=19,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Input' numid=20,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Out Optical' numid=21,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Out Professional' numid=15,iface=MIXER,name='SPDIF Frequency' numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='SPDIF SyncCheck' numid=18,iface=MIXER,name='SYNC IN Frequency' numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='SYNC IN SyncCheck' numid=24,iface=MIXER,name='Single Speed WordClock Out' numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='System Clock Mode' numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='System Sample Rate' numid=17,iface=MIXER,name='TCO Frequency' numid=11,iface=MIXER,name='TCO SyncCheck' numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='WC Frequency' numid=7,iface=MIXER,name='WC SyncCheck' numid=23,iface=MIXER,name='XLR Breakout Cable' Does anyone have an idea of which numid to use ?

[LAU] FreeBSD

Hi there, anyone using FreeBSD for audio stuff? I've installed latest release as guest os using qemu and just wondering if porting of ardour and other audio stuff has been done by someone else and if it's worth. /raffaele -- «My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom» D.Bowie

[LAU] CD printout for manufacturer

by Peter Lutek

greetings! most CD manufacturers require a printout of the CD layout (track start/end, pre-gaps, ISRC, CD-text, etc.) along with the burned CD, before manufacturing. a lot of commercial mastering software seems to have a facility, linked to the CD layout functions, which formats such data in a printable form. on linux, i've always just transferred all that stuff by hand into a document, but i'm wondering if anyone has an easy way of automating this at all. it doesn't look like there's a direct way to do that in Mixbus, which is my DAW at the moment... cheers! .pltk. -- Peter Lutek improvising musician in Toronto, Canada http://peterlutek.com

[LAU] Metal music made with linux

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

Hi list It is not often people talk about metal music on this list, but I thought somebody might find this interesting if for nothing else, then for the tools used and the resulting production. I would like to share an EP release from my band Seed of Heresy recorded and mixed using Ardour on linux with the exception of vocals and guitar tracking, which was done in another studio using proprietary non-linux tools. The EP is released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC-BY-NC-SA) license and is available in several formats on the website: http://www.seedofheresy.com The release was done on December 21st 23:03, UTC, 2014, which is the exact time of winter solstice. The drums were performed by myself in the very same studio depicted in the zthmusic interview I did back in january - and so are not DrumGizmo ;-) Enjoy! Kind regards Bent Bisballe Nyeng
