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 all.
During the LAC there were some discussion on that we should change the day for
the monthly Berlin meeting and that we should change it to the first Tuesday of
the month.
What do you say? The first Tuesday of the month?
If so, I'll ask to have the c-base calendar updated.
Cheers

Hi All,
I wanted to see if anyone from the Linux Audio community will be going
to the International Computer Music Conference in Daegu, South Korea
this August. I'm going to be giving a workshop ("Live Coding with
Csound")[1] and was wondering if others were planning to attend. If
so, it'd be nice to meet up!
All best,
Steven

FYI
In the process of installing zita-dpl1 the install doc says to install
libclxclient.
To get libclxclient to build had to install libxft-dev (I installed
libxtst-dev first but that didn't solve the X11/Xft/Xft.h no such file
error)
Could be just a omission on the part of Ubuntustudio 18.04...
Once that worked I attempted to make zita-dpl1 and it couldn't find
jack/jack.h.
Attempted to install libjack-dev but I had to add libjack0 so libjack-dev
would install.
So now zita-dpl1 builds...Except now the jack is apparently gone.
I use a script to setup my jack environment:
#!/bin/bash
set -x
killall -9 jackd jackdbus
jack_control ds alsa dps capture none dps playback none
jack_control dps device hw:PCH
jack_control dps rate 48000
jack_control dps nperiods 2
jack_control dps period 256
jack_control start
<it goes on to create clients, etc>
But when run jack_control no longer exists.
So now I'm at a loss, I don't know how to reverse what I buggered up, and I
don't know if I can add even more to fix it... :<(
Any ideas?

Hi everyone,
AV Linux 2018.6.25 (aka "50 years of GMaq!") has been released, I have
entered a new decade today and want to celebrate with an improved AVL
Release..
The April AV Linux 2018.4.12 release had a lot of improvements and
updates with regards to the Audio and Video applications but some
improvements needed to be made for systems with UEFI booting and
systems with recent AMD Video display adapters not covered by SGFXI. I
personally have no UEFI (or AMD) computers to test with and only could
use VirtualBox for UEFI testing and thanks to bug reports from a few
users and several fixes provided by our forum member 'korakios' I
think many of the issues for actual hardware UEFI machines have now
been addressed. If you have already successfully installed and updated
AV Linux 2018.4.12 then you will not really need to be concerned with
the updated June ISOs.
Fixes/Improvements:
-New 4.16 kernel with full RT Preempt and improved support for newer
AMD Video cards.
-threadirqs was accidentally removed from the grub boot options, now
fixed.
-UEFI boots that failed due to missing FAT32 ascii modules should now
be fixed.
-Unetbootin boot failures due to missing FAT32 ascii modules should
now be fixed.
-Virtualbox Guest Additions will now be automatically removed on
Non-Virtualbox installs.
-Cinelerra 5.1 (aka Cin) has a new functionality to support LV2 Audio
Plugins (initial release, may require restart on first run).
-LSP Plugins are updated to 1.1.2
-Cleaned up wrong menu entry of ZynAddSubFX JACK multi
-Updated relevant info in the AV Linux User Manual.
A huge thanks to korakios for the work on UEFI improvements and trulan
for the updated 4.16 kernels, thanks also to those who provided bug
reports and tested ISOs, your time is very much appreciated!
The linuxaudio.org mirror is up and running, Bytemark will come online
sometime in the next few days.
