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 all,
My dual Delta 1010 setup is on its last legs and I'm thinking (again) of
retooling with a Saffire Pro 40. I've been bitten in the past by upgrades
like this which is why I'm still on the 1010s, but there's only so many
times I can repair them before I have to admit defeat.
Is anyone out there actively using a Saffire Pro 40 in a serious setting?
Is it reliable for low latency, with all channels working at once? Does it work
with any recent ffado, or do you need specific versions, patches or anything
else?
I've read plenty of vague comments about which firewire chipsets might be
good or not, but are there known-good PCI Express firewire cards that are a
sensible price and work well?
I'm really hoping for "Yes, I've been using one for a year and it's rock
solid," rather than "I've googled and it claims to be supported," or "Yes,
it's fine if you pull the latest beta7 branch from git and only use Acme
2000 firewire interfaces." Sorry to sound unduly cautious or skeptical ;)
In short, if I bite the bullet, retire my Delta 1010s and buy a Pro 40, are
the drivers and tools now at the stage where I reasonably expect to be up and
running again in a day rather than still fighting problems a week later?
Cheers,
bjb

this is something that has annoyed me endlessly for years, and i still
haven't found a solution.
the issue is minor (that's why i haven't asked before), but annoying
nevertheless.
so:
i'm using qjackctl with the "system tray icon" enabled.
when i close the application window, qjackctl keeps running and is
accessible via the system tray.
cool. that's what i want.
however, every single time i close the main qjackctl window, a balloon
pops up in my notification area, telling me that the "program will
keep running in the system tray" and how to really shut it down.
the first time i read this, this information was informative (i
suppose, it has been years). but no longer.
i already know that the program will keep running. that's why i'm
using the system tray. there's no need to tell me again and again
(even within a single session!).
there *must* be simple way to "not show this message again", without
completely disabling tray notifications. but how?
btw, this is on Debian/sid with xfce4.

Even my wife's years-discontinued little netbook is 64-bit.

I do wish kernel makers would also stop requiring PAE support. I have a couple of boxes that don't support PAE.
Musix is 32-bit only.
I expect Debian will be producing 32-bit kernels for a good long while yet. They just seem to change slower than others.

I have an external USB hub with its own power supply. It introduces a hum when I have its PS connected.

Hi,
I bought samples from Dubsounds in SF2 format, and looping is wrong
when rendering with fluidsynth. I'm wondering how to check whether this
is caused by buggy files or a bug in fluidsynth.
The symptoms:
-- in fluidsynth (command line, qsynth, Calf plugin, or Carla), I can
hear that looping is wrong -- there is obviously a gap
-- in swami, the start loop point seems ok, but the end loop points is
beyond the end of sample. When loading the soundfont, it spits a bunch
of "libInstPatch-WARNING **: Invalid loop for sample" on the console
-- in polyphone, it loads and plays ok. Loop points are perfect.
Is there some extension or advanced feature that polyphone supports but
not fluidsynth nor swami? How may I know who is the culprit?
Here is the output of sf2dump: http://pastebin.com/CthdwrQf
Thank you,
-Alexandre.
Hi,
It seems to me that the Behringer folks have done a Linux version of
all their editors for their entire range of digital mixers and also
Android versions of the GUIs. I'm pretty impressed!
That's a complete different way of doing it compared to for example
Mackie and Line6, who avoid to even take the word Linux in the mouth
officially - that's the way I feel it anyway. Well, Line6 discovered a
while back that something called Android exists and provided Android
GUIs for some of their products.
If I understand everything right the X32 can be connected to a Linux PC
and then the channels are discovered by Alsa and can be used by Jack.
Have anyone here tested the X Air series?

we are searching for a new audio interface for a project studio and
interested in the experiences others have had
requirements are:
* 8 (or more) channels simultaneous recording to computer
* at least 4 preamps for mic level inputs
* USB2 preferable to Fireware, but..
* 100% linux compatible, ideally with a stock kernel
* under $500 USD if possible
less important is real-time monitoring functionality - this will mostly
be used for bands playing live
there are several new inexpensive USB2.0 interfaces that would
apparently fit the bill if supported under linux but it is not clear if
they are, seems like in contrast to FW most are not
anybody have any recommendations?
