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!

Hi.
Quite a shot into the dark, but: Is anyone here by chance into
eurorack modular and has tried the Expert Sleepers ES-8 USB Interface
with Linux yet? It claims to be class compliant, but you never know...

Hi list,
I have been search the archives and the web a bit and it seems there is
no easy way to route html5 audio playback from firefox through jack on
Debian testing.
Is this still the case or has there been recent development that might
enable it? What would have to be done to make it work? This
functionality is the last piece in my puzzle to finally get rid of
flash.
thanks for pointers,
P

The Dell 27 inch LED monitors are very good. I saw one listed in this search for US$199:

Hello,
Long time no music out there. While mixing something else I came
across a thread on Linux Musicians about collaboration, with a new
branch of the forum being created: Virtual Music Projects. So I
picked a project almost purely by coincidence and submitted it for
collaboration that is, if anyone is interested. It's also very fine if
no-one is. And so as such, I thought of sharing it here also - any
comments welcomed.
'test-jam112' is an improvisation. The purpose is only to give an
overview of what it could be. It's barely mixed. The context is
smooth, perhaps even ambient, with acoustic guitars and long synths.

Hi there!
ShowQ is a unique cue-player for Linux-Audio-Users. I use it as a core
application for my theater activities.
Even in the linux-community it's not a very well known application,
although there's no other linux-program (I know) if you need a
one-shot-audio-player with features like f.e. programmable fade-in,
fade-out, no matter if you want it time-based or triggered by space (or
another key).
It can do a lot more - ShowQ has MIDI-support. Although I never tested
this feature, it should be possible to control any application with
MIDI-support. QLC(+) f.e. - or maybe some video-players do support MIDI
- I don't know...
Yeah, of course, ShowQ is not a drop in replacement for QLAB, but
speaking about audio it fits quiet perfectly in my setup.
ShowQ is in the Debian (and Ubuntu?) repositories, it's written in C++
and of course released under the terms of the GPL. Although this app is
quiet useful for technicians like me, the development stopped years ago.
I am not a coder, but I do my best to keep this project alive. On the
Debian bug-tracker I write bug-reports for ShowQ, hoping that on one
hand it's useful for other users to work around problems, on the other
hand that someone fixes them.
Last time I reported a bug Jaromír Mikeš the Debian-maintainer of ShowQ
wrote that he is not able to fix the bugs and he would like to kick
ShowQ. Of course, he also would like to package an alternative if there
would be some he could package.
I don't know any - so my linux-based theater setup is about to be killed
one day when ShowQ wouldn't compile on my debian machine, anymore.
So, what do I want from you?
Test ShowQ! Maybe it's the app you've been missing for a long time!
And if you're a coder with C++-skills, check out my bugreports on
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=showq
- maybe you've got the clue...
OR: Got an alternative to ShowQ? You're welcome!
Greets!

Hi.
For once I'm going to try to announce the meeting a little bit ahead of
time...
As usual it's at c-base (Rungestraße 20) and at 20:00 in the mainhall
(and maybe later in the soundlab if we want to generate sounds with
Linux).
For next week's meeting I'd like to have some sort of agenda for once.
So, please add ideas to this thread.
Some things I was thinking about which might be interesting:
- How do you version your audio projects?
- What's a good backup strategy for music projects (ok, that's not only
music)?
- What to do if a new software version makes your project sound
different, but you still want to use the new features of the software?
It's maybe not specifically Linux Audio topics, but still topics I
would guess Linux users might have thought a little bit more about.

hi all,
I just released an EP with 7 electronic tracks on Bandcamp.
It was made in Renoise on Ubuntu Linux with some help from CALF
plugins (mainly Analyser) in mixing process. Mastering was done
elsewhere.
There are some liner notes to read on BC page if you want, but in
essence it's a mixture of futurebeats and piano music :). Well, maybe
some more breakbeat and bass music there too. All instrumentals.
I plan to release Renoise modules as open source too.
You are very welcome to leave a tip on BandCamp (name-your-price) or
join my Patreon (every single $ means a huge thumbs up!) if you want to
support more of this kind of work.

Hi,
mainly for Ardour usage I want to get rid of my CRT monitor. I wonder
how much difference is between a 300,- € and a 150,- € LCD monitor.
Regarding a chip.de test the 7. best monitor is an Eizo FlexScan EV2450
the 47. best monitor is a LG 24MB56HQ-B
Both are 24" monitors.
Eizo FlexScan EV2450 LG 24MB56HQ-B
image quality 89.5 76.1
features 63.3 39.6
ergonomics 93.3 73.8
energy efficiency 99.1 80.3
overall ranking 86.00 68.8
price-performance ratio 100 69
price at reichelt.de 292.00 € 139.00 €
Price difference 292.00 € - 139.00 € = 153.00 €.
Could somebody recommend a monitor <= 300,- €? At the moment I tend to
buy the Eizo or the LG. For usage with Ardour, as well as averaged
desktop usage, IOW office, browser etc..
Regards,
Ralf

Hi.
I'm once again hoping that we might get some people to the Linux Audio
Berlin meeting. I'll be in the mainhall at c-base (Rungestraße 20) from
20:00.
Cheers
