Hi,
i recently updated my Arch linux system, to to the following version:
Linux 4.18.6-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
Afterwards, i noticed that something has changed regarding the realtime
permissions
and that i had to install a new package called 'realtime-priviliges',
which i never needed before,
and subsequently add my main user to the 'realtime' group.
In that wake, i updated the processor microcode, which i didn't use at
all before (there always was some
error message during bootup, but nothing else).
After being able to start JACK in realtime again, i felt that there was
a significant loss of performance.
Things that didn't cause any dropouts before now start to crackle and
gristle (as a sidenote, i mostly
use SuperCollider to make sound).
Also, and this puzzled me especially, there were dropouts, but no XRuns
... normally, when i push the
system to the limits, i get XRuns, that'd be expected. But now, it's
dropouts without, and they start way
earlier.
My machine has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz Processor if
that info is of user for anyone ...
Anybody else noticed something like that recently ?
Best,
nik

Hi,
what would, in your opinion, be a recommended USB Audio Interface for
multitrack studio recording?
In the past, I was happy with M-Audio Delta 10/10. It was using a
PCI-Extention Card. Now, I'm searching for a replacement using USB.
It could have fewer IO-Ports and I need no Effects-Processing on the
card. Important is, if possible, out of the box connecting via jackd and
channel adjusting via alsa mixer.
Thanx for hints,
Joerg

Hello!
I've been using Dexed for about 18 months now, and a couple of versions
ago, it suddenly started behaving badly. Essentially, notes get "stuck"
on (as if they've not received a NOTE-OFF event), and even sending
ALL-NOTES-OFF events doesn't unstick them. The only way to unstick them
is to toggle the MONO switch on and off in the sequence (apparently
this sends an ALL-SOUNDS-OFF event internally).
I've filed a report here:
https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/issues/152
.. But it's kind of awkward to reproduce. I've only been able to get it
to happen after I've gotten part way through writing a piece. I don't
have this problem with any other instrument, so it does appear to be
Dexed-specific.
Is anyone else able to reproduce this problem? The easiest way would
appear to be to grab the something.zip file attached to the bottom of
the ticket and run it in Rosegarden. This assumes that you have Carla
and Dexed installed (as a VST plugin).
Failing that... Is anyone else this having problem with Dexed at all? I
see it in all the major sequencers, and sometimes just when playing
with a MIDI keyboard.

Hi there,
On my T480s on Archlinux I often have issues with my USB microphone (h1 handy recorder):
Sep 14 19:00:57 t480s kernel: retire_capture_urb: 2477 callbacks suppressed
Sep 14 19:01:02 t480s kernel: retire_capture_urb: 2480 callbacks suppressed
Sep 14 19:01:07 t480s kernel: retire_capture_urb: 2479 callbacks suppressed
Resulting in just noise / garbage when recording with an ffmpeg/pulseaudio based script: https://github.com/kaihendry/recordmydesktop2.0/blob/master/x11capturehttps://s.natalian.org/2018-09-14/noise.mp4
It's difficult to reproduce, but I have managed to experience the issue again and again on stable kernels, e.g.
Linux t480s 4.18.6-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 5 11:54:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
But not (yet) upon linux-lts 4.14.69-1 aka "LTS".
Any tips how I should proceed here? https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/REPORTING-BUGS is a bit overwhelming.
Many thanks,
Hi all.
Next meeting at c-base is on Tuesday 2018-09-11. I'll be in the mainhall (or
depending on weather) outside from 20:30 as usual.
At the last meeting we were discussing if we should do something at the next
meeting instead of just talking, and there were some suggestions:
- Start defining a standard for communicating midi messages via OSC.
- Test out some fun audio projects in the soundlab and/or do some jamming with
Linux Audio projects·
If we're going to go down to the soundlab, I'd suggest that we collect people in
the mainhall/outside between 20:30 and 21:00 before going downstairs.
What do you say? If going down to the soundlab, I'll reserve it for us.
Cheers
/Daniel
Hi there,
does anybody know, whether the http://libremusicproduction.com/ site is
still active? The last post is from February (which just says that the
site is back online :-/) and the last tweet from December 2017. Also the
comments on the site are riddled with spam.
I tried to submit a story via the contact form on the site and the site
displayed a message that my form submission was successful but also an
error message that the message could *not* be sent. *confused*
Who's behind the site? Is there another way to contact him/her/them?

Because they are messing with the minds of people while leaving their
bodies alone. If you used poppy seed juice rather than cat videos,
you'd get stopped before becoming the highest valued company on the
planet.
Though to be fair, Coca-Cola got pretty far even before reducing the
cocaine content of their drink to trace amounts.

Because said companies are providing products/value that people are
willing to pay for. In the case of all that messenger apps, you can
trade in your privacy for cheaper connections rather than using the
regular phone services (and/or SMS).
