Hi All, I am still appreciating all the sound card wisdom! I think I shared I am aiming for the m-audio audiofile 2496, which I am finding on ebay. I visited our hackers lab here in Toronto hoping to find someone with enough Linux debian smarts to help me here with the software part of my circumstance. As there are apparently many ways I can ahem play the composing side of things with all the command line tools, I am wondering if folks have keyboard or workstation suggestions? I will likely need to be more specific, but do not want to stop the flow of ideas. Thanks, Karen

[LAU] Compiling dssi-vst-master: -lz missing

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello, Seeing the description in Ardour's manual for mixed MIDI/Audio tracks and how they relate to Reaktor, which I knew nothing about, I looked into it and found an Ubuntu page on how to run Reaktor using basically wine and dssi-vst. So I got the sources for dssi-vst and try to compile on a 64-bit machine. Got the Steinberg SDK, the multilib for g++ and gcc, made a symlink for zconf.h to be found and now the compile halts at not finding '-lz'. I tried installing libzip, then lzip (lzma compression) but none are fulfilling the requirement. What is this -lz exactly ? And, anyone running Reaktor in this way ? Thanks.

[LAU] wine 1.6.2 and reaktor's 'service center' issue

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello, Using wine 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4 I could install the Reaktor Player. By following this install procedure: http://whiteelephantaudio.com/installing-reaktor-linuxubuntu/ System is Linux Mint 17, 64-bit. dssi-vst is 0.9.2-1ubuntu5. One thing to notice is that the 64-bit version of Reaktor is not recognized at all by the system/wine. I then did as the web page instructs and copied the 32-bit version which works. Reaktor is seen in qjackctl and it is possible to connect a MIDI keyboard to it and hear stuff. I understand that all instruments provided with it are free. I also installed the mikroprism instrument. Now, all these are running in 30 minutes max time slices. So I chose to register the free mikroprism. It then launched some app called 'service center' and ended up with an error and a binary log file. Has anyone got past this 'service center' problem ? Cheers.

[LAU] jack-rack poll

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi, I wonder how many people use jack-rack. Now and then I use jack-rack. IMO it's useful. It's still provided by the AUR: [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ sudo systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/archlinux/ [root@archlinux ~]# packages jack-rack Repositories aur/jack-rack 1.4.7-4 (78) Effects rack for JACK Installed local/jack-rack-git 20130328-2 Effects rack for JACK It's seemingly not under development: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jack-rack/ At the Ubuntu Studio devel list is a discussion that leads to two questions. 1. How much is jack-rack used? Especially how much is it used by Ubuntu users. 2. Is there a replacement for jack-rack? The reason for this questions is, that it's dropped by Debian and it's interesting to know, if maintaining an Ubuntu package makes sense. Regards, Ralf

[LAU] Jack and sample rate conversion quality

by Taner Tas

Hi all, I'm quite new on Jack. As I'm aware of that we have to choose a particular sampling rate for proper operation, I wonder that re-sampling must have done by client or Jack is taking this part on itself. I'm curious on this because I'm trying to figure out that resampling quality relies on client's own settings or some particular resampling method that used by Jack. If Jack does the resampling, have we any chance on tuning the resampling quality? Thanks in advance. Regards.

[LAU] guitarix looper

by Hermann Meyer

For those interested, within the last commit to guitarix git I've added a file browser to the guitarix LiveLooper (dubber) on request, so now you could load your preferred wav/ogg files into guitarix, loop them, and play along. You could save your loops as plugin presets to reload them to your needs. For those who didn't know about the dubber, it's a 4 channel looper with a max loop range from ~1.5 min. (Longer files will be cut at this point.) Have fun with it hermann

[LAU] External arpeggiator and MIDI sync ?

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello. I would like to sync the arpeggiator from a Korg Microstation to Ardour. The user guide says: "the arpeggiator will synchronize to the MIDI Clock and Start messages received from a connected MIDI device." The audio card is a 1010LT. The Microstation is connected through USB and is fully seen in jack (qjackctl). Is it possible to have MIDI sync for the external synth ? How would the wiring be done ? Will there be a need for an Ardour MIDI track for the Start (and possibly Stop) signals ? Thanks.

[LAU] Just another soundcard advice thread

by Carlo Ascani

Hi all, here is my use case: I normally record my drums with 6 mics on a tape recorder (Teac 80-8, with RCA OUTs), I need to put my records in digital, using a Thinkpad x201 (PCI express 2.0, no firewire). So, any advice about a converter which suits well for that purpose? Thank you -- Carlo Ascani | carlorat.me carloratm@freenode
