Greetings,
Is anyone here successfully running a parallel installation of Qt4 and
Qt5 ? I want to install the latest SuperCollider3 which now requires
Qt5. I'm on Fedora 19 with Planet CCRMA extensions, it's been happy with
Qt4, but now I need to consider installing Qt5. The question: Can I go
ahead and install Qt5 in parallel with the existing Qt4 ? If there are
known problems with Linux audio software perhaps someone is already
aware of them and can warn me before I take action.
I'm particularly wary of this kind of thing. I recently hosed an entire
system during a routine installation of components from the F19 repos -
yes, in certain circumstances Fedora will quietly let you destroy your
system without warning - and I'd like to avoid a repeat of that scenario.
Best,
dp

ahoy Marc,
thanks for the recommendations. my research/experience is also leading me to a statically generated site: the upfront complexity of developing+using a tool (i am not a programmer by day) seems well worth it for file+directory based configuration and the simple hosting. just need to find something that fits. and if you ever decide to share your solution i would be happy to take a look ;)
thanks again and looking forward to your new site.
peace, w
Is anyone familiar with Frankfurt Flughafen bahnhof?
I have to change trains there coming from Brussels then on to a regional train
to Mainz.
There is only a 15 minute difference between arrival and departure, so if at
all possible I'd like to get some idea in advance of where to go!
The return journey is much simpler through connections I know.

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi,
io GNU/Linux 2015.01 has been released (32 and 64-bits).
io GNU/Linux is a Live DVD/USB based on Debian Sid and focused on multimedia.
This new version includes an installer (without support for EFI/GPT based
systems for now)
Kernel 3.16.7-ck7, Jack2 as default sound server, e18 as desktop environment
and a big collection of installed software... Full persistence for USB install
(with encryption) and more cool stuff...
For more infos: manual, packages list, screenshots, video etc... Check:
-> http://io.gnu.linux.free.fr/ (work in progress)
-> https://sourceforge.net/projects/io-gnu-linux/
Feedbacks welcome, enjoy :)

There was a comment a while ago about not listing rtc in rtirq a while
ago, that there are other better timers to use on modern systems anyway.
Does audio SW generally use these other timers by default then? Is it
worth while removing rtc from my rtirq config?
The default rtirq list is:
rtc snd usb i8042
I have found that in the case of two sound cards it is best to be more
specific:
rtc snd_ice1712 snd i8042
(I have removed usb because I don't use it for anything)
The other question is why is i8042 included? Is it used for more than
kb/mouse? It seems odd that the kb/mouse has higher priority than disk
writes for example.
For use of things like netjack (or other AoIP sw), should eth0 (or
whatever eth is used for audio) be added to this list? (if one eth is used
for audio and the other for Inet, then separating them into hi and lo
priority makes sense)
Asking questions because I don't know, maybe disk writes are buffered well
enough it doesn't matter.
I have not had problems with xruns with the setup I have, but would like
to know anyway.

This would not be portable across os... and require a config file. I am
wondering if it is possible.
I am thinking it would be nice to have an lv2 alsa trimpot. The idea is
that it would not affect the audio passing through, but provide a control
that varies the level of an alsa control. This is so a mixer strip that
was composed of plugins would be able to also control the alsa preamp
level if it was available. I realize figuring out which channel goes to
which strip at any one time (the same input channel might be routed to a
number of channels at the same time) would be _difficult_. Knowing which
control changes the level one wants might be hard to automate too. The
user interface would require the ability for the user to set it (them). If
there was more than one for the same control they would have to track as
well (alsa mixers seem to do this already though).
The easy way to do this would be to throw away incoming audio and select
our own. Some sort of middleware that gave a common interface for all AIs
would make this much easier too. Mudita24 has MIDI control for this... but
alas the midi control does not extend to the pre levels (ADC levels) where
it would be most useful (or at least moving these controls outputs no midi
the way the multimix controls do).
So far as I know, nobody does this, even in OSX/windows land
though of course it is common on both analog and digital mixboards even
when the pre is at the other end of a snake or on a foreign interface.

(Please excuse if this is a stupid question...)
I am learning Ardour doing some practice on my system (Debian stable, RT
kernel, RT tuning, MAudio Audiophile 2496 PCI, 3GHz 4core CPU, 8GB RAM,
JACK buffer 512). Working with a 3min stereo audio (24bit, 88.1kHz) I
have noticed DSP goes to 100% when exporting (WAV)...
Is it normal (simply Ardour is using all the available resources during
the export) or something is going wrong (and I will have glithces/pops
in the output file)?
Thanks
