How to automatically start zita-j2a/a2j with jack?

by Steven Kruyswijk

Hi all, For a sound playback system I'm putting together, based on a Raspberry Pi 3, I'm looking to have 4 channels of input and output, and to have the system to run automatically at startup. For this, I'm wondering how to (best) execute zita-a2j and zita-j2a; I've tried two methods that don't work: 1. ask Qjackctl to execute the following script after startup: sleep 5 zita-j2a -d hw:CODEC_1 2. execute this script: qjackctl (with auto-start) sleep 10 zita-j2a -d hw:CODEC_1 Executing the zita-j2a manually after Qjackctl has finished starting the jack server does work. Any pointers greatly appreciated! Cheers, Steven -- Sent from: http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/linux-audio-user-f5.html

Plagiat experimental-oriental-rap (former Sebkha) first clip Snapchat au Harem - made with free softwares only

by ORL - AMMD

Hi all, As some of you know, I've been playing in Sebkha-Chott for fifteen years, an experimental and avantgarde rock/metal band from France, in which we used free softwares only for recording as well as on stage. We developped some softs as well. Sebkha-Chott has ended in 2015, and by that time, we were a trio, augmented by machines (synths, samplers, loopers - many of them - FX, routing, mix, and so on). Plagiat started at the end of Sebkha-Chott, and was thought around the same setup, though it is a drum/bass/vocals duo, and is more orientated in oriental-experimental-rap. We just released our first clip, all built with free softwares only (in the AMMD studio www.ammd.net), you can check it here: https://plagiat.org/snapchat-au-harem and you can check more on http://plagiat.org (by now, it's mainly in french, but we could translate it if someone demanded it!) As you might want to know a bit more, here is what we've been using and/or are using by now: *For this clip:* *- hw: Alesis HD24XR -ADAT- RME HDSP9652 / TL-Audio Ivory II series Preamps / Focusrite Octopre Preamps * - debian testing - ardour5 (mix and mastering) - zynaddsubfx - x42-fat homemade patch - calf, caps, swh, tap, invada plugins, and maybe some others we forgot - calfjackhost (just because calf 30 band eq didn't work well straight in ardour5) - kdenlive - gimp - inkscape (and maybe some others we forgot) * * *On stage (https://github.com/PlagiatBros/PlagiatSetup)* *- hw: 2x Focusrite Saffire Pro40 -ADAT- RME HDSP 9652 * - debian testing - gladish (yes, it's still working, but we know we will have to change this soon) - zynaddsubfx (with microtonal settings) - non-mixer (many instances) - seq24 (with a homemade-patch) - tapeutape (same as gladish) - x42-fat (12 of them) homemade match to get one octave up and down offset, and microtonal settings - guitarix (actually only for tuning, was used for more before, but ain't no guitar left, so...) - fluidsynth and one rhodes sound font - sooperlooper (8 stereo loopers) - mididings (many many many instances and patches and homemade forks for managing OSC) - calf, caps, tap, swh, invada plugins - OSC - pytaVSL (https://github.com/PlagiatBros/pytaVSL) : homemade light VJ soft - QLC+ - OpenStageControl (developped by Plagiat's drummer) (and maybe some others we forgot) *For upcoming clips (work in progress by now):* - synfigstudio - qstopmotion - lives Well, that's it for now. Aurélien - AMMD / Plagiat PS: Last thing: usually, Plagiat doesn't speak lwith the kind of tone I used today. So, the news I might forward to this list will probably be written in much harscher way!

xjadeo compatible format from kdenlive

by Adrienne Teicher

Hello, I'm hoping that someone on this list is an xjadeo/kdenlive expert and can help me out. I also posted in the kdenlive forums. I have not been able to find a rendering format this is compatible with xjadeo. The error xjadeo gives is Index Error. File is not suitable. I read that this has something to do with "index frames". A workaround I have is to export the project in kdenlive, and then convert it in handbrake with their "Vimeo Youtube HQ 1080p60 preset". The reason why this works seems to be the following text in the "More Settings:" in Handbrake: keyint=30:min-keyint=15:ref=1:bframes=2:b-pyramid=none I tried to create a preset in kdenlive with the above settings in Parameters. It worked when I ran a test on a short (ca. 1 minute) video, but the same error above occurs when i export a longer (ca. 1 hour) video. Does anyone have an idea of a failsafe format for xjadeo from kdenlive? Thank you!

Re: [LAU] systemd woes with jackd and its permissions (raspbian)

by David Runge

On 2019-01-31 10:03:56 (+0100), al3xu5 / dotcommon wrote: > Being systemd a complete nightmare (which turns your machine to a > windows-like system), simply stop using it and migrate to a > systemd-free system. Everyone's entitled to their opinion I guess, but how on earth does this help with the question at hand? If you're plainly here to rant about how bad systemd is (or rave about how great your particular distro is), maybe find another mailing list to do so. It's getting quite annoying (given your recent track record on that particular topic) and really doesn't provide any useful information regarding the original topic, especially as you fail to supply information on why and how a jackd-as-a-daemon-setup on Devuan could be considered more suitable or would even look like. Please be constructive and provide examples instead of bad-mouthing other people's work. e.g. "Hey look, this is how we do things on Devuan - without systemd - to have jackd start as a daemon. You can also use that instead of Raspbian." Doesn't hurt, does it? Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

jack persistent connections FAQ link

by Peter P.

Hi dear list, http://jackaudio.org/faq/persistent_connections.html mentions that there is a way for persistent connections without using a GUI program. The page says about this way to do it that "The semi-automatic, script-based one is described in another FAQ." but I can't seem to find it. What could be meant here? Thanks! P

The new GUI of QjackCtl renders QjackCtl unusable

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi, since I'm using Linux nowadays more or less only for mastering with imported audio files, I didn't notice a disastrous change of the qjackctl GUI, that seemingly already happened a while ago. The "Connect" window is replaced by a "Graph" window. Complex connections are never easy to track visually, but at least the old "Connect" GUI is clear, concise, well-structured and readable. The new "Graph" GUI is seemingly an attempt to draw virtual Pollock pictures, see https://i.imgur.com/3TFRGZF.png, even the text became unreadable. However, even without way too small text at tolerable zooming for the graph, in one colour on nearly the same colour and even without shadow effects, the way the routing is displayed by default renders qjackctl unusable. I'm aware that it is possible to move the items, I also can move my computer, synthesizers, mixing console, effects, but for good reasons I don't want to move anything from one to another place, if my intention is to restore a session and to make music. Searching for the last usable qjackctl release, I found out that the last version providing the usable "Connect" GUI is 0.5.2. [rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep qjackctl | grep grade | tail -4 [2019-01-29 01:12] [ALPM] downgraded qjackctl (0.5.5-1 -> 0.5.4-1) [2019-01-29 01:13] [ALPM] downgraded qjackctl (0.5.4-1 -> 0.5.0-1) [2019-01-29 01:14] [ALPM] upgraded qjackctl (0.5.0-1 -> 0.5.3-1) [2019-01-29 01:16] [ALPM] downgraded qjackctl (0.5.3-1 -> 0.5.2-2) Am I the only one who wants to get back the old GUI?

Selling RME Digi 96/8 PAD

by bernard

Hi there I am selling at low price an RME Digi96/8 PAD with its daughter board *AEB4-I* allowing to record 8 tracks at a time. This is a PCI card not PCI-e, and works very well under Linux systems. You can watch the specs on the 'old' RME site : http://www.rme-audio.de/old/english/aeb/aeb48i.htm I can't use it no more because I use now a laptop exclusively. If interested, make me an offer and I'll check for shipping (I live in France). I will also supply a multijack cable 4 stereo<->8 mono. Thanks

zita-n2j waits 10 seconds?

by Peter P.

Hi, trying to use zita-n2j and depending on its different buffer sizes or jackd buffer sizes it prints Waiting for 10.0 seconds... and does not play back audio. This message seems undocumented in the man page and a I wonder under which conditions it arrives... Thanks for all ideas! P
