Hi, is there some way to find music made on Linux other than to go through this mailinglist? I found https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/music_made_with_linux but that seems to list only a fraction of what must be out there. Regards, Philipp

M-Audio Fast Track Pro: unreliable, distorted recording

by Lewis Pike

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! .lewis

Change of day for monthly Berlin meetings?

by Daniel Swärd

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 /Daniel

[ANN] QmidiCtl 0.5.2 - An(other) Early Summer'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there! QmidiCt 0.5.2 (early summer'18) is out! QmidiCt [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [6] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows [7]. QmidiCt [1] has been primarily designed for the Maemo [8] enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 [9] and also being promoted to the Maemo Package [10] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [1] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and as an Android application as well. See also: QmidiNet [2] - A MIDI network gateway via UDP/IP multicast.

[OT] - ICMC

by Steven Yi

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 [1] - https://icmc2018.org/workshops-pgm/

Installing zita-dpl1 on UbuntuStudio 18.04

by Mac

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? Mac

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.1 - An Early Summer'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi! One more time and not the last! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here once again released just before the northern hot-season starts... For all you 'meridional' fans: don't ever take this as some kind of a disadvantage: you'll sure have it perfect and practice while northlings may go party and bust, whatever ;) Still available in the so called dual standard forms, for Linux anyway: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. The change for this joy-of-season goes as follows: - Loop crossfading and zero-crossing detection (the later being an old staple by default) are now set as brand new user options accessible from the main UI. (applies to samplv1 only [2]) - Fixed for some g++ >= 8.1.1 warnings and quietness. - Added LV2 UI X11 support option. - Disable reference micro-tuning settings when a Scala keyboard map override is in effect. Added "All files (*.*)" filter to every file requestor dialog, wherever missing. And now, in order of (chronological) appearance: **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.1 (early-summer'18) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

AV Linux 2018.6.25 ISO Update with UEFI Fixes Released!

by Glen MacArthur

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.
