[linux-audio-user] JACK of two Cards

by Jos Laake

Hey peeps, So, I've been using jack with the onboard audio stuff in my li'l cube (snd driver = snd-intel8x0) and that works. And I've been recycling/parting-out older or broken systems and found a PCI audio card with an ESS Maestro-1 chip, which after some trial and error, discovered it needs to use the 'snd-es1968' snd driver (not snd-maestro3). So I put the card in, reconfigured my audio, both cards are seen, all the modules are loaded. and then I go to start 'JACK' and... well, each *one* works (although there is a different problem with the Maestro-1 I'll save for later) it seems to let me use *either* one or the other but not both. What I really want is to be able to use the inputs of both cards for multi-track recording. Really, I'm just trying to get the stereo keyboard separated from the stereo vocals, that's all. Seems like it should be no biggie, but... not. So, first off, is this possible? I mean there *should* be a way, right? any clues for me before I go bangin' my head on a wall? ;-) Thanks in advance, ~Jos~

[linux-audio-user] Re: Creating live CDs (is illegal?)

by Greg Murphy

The Clear Channel patent is one of the 10 that the EFF is asking the US Patent Office to re-examine. There's a short article in Wired about it: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,64038,00.html While the 10 are worrying, I think the Seer Systems and Acacia patents are particularly worrying from the point of view of free, open systems.

[linux-audio-user] Re: giga files and large soundfonts

by Christian Frisson

Heyall, Once again, I see there's always somebody to urge you to reveal your plots ,-) Good, I'm now compelled to spawn something! I've got two months left to achieve our goal: building a free gig library from scratch using the University of Iowa Musical Instrument Samples. Hopefully, I got a copy of GigaStudio 24 bundled with my soundcard, so I won't have to wait for LS-Edit! I had already started a thread on a french forum, AudioFanzine, entitled "Création d'instruments multisamplés: FAQ / Howto / Wiki / Exemple (MIS)": http://fr.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/mailing_forums/index,idtopic,62701.html KvR and Northern Sounds will follow... Let me put it into a nutshell... some consistent links: 1) Some clues about the differents formats... - Instrument Editor Tutorial (2,563 Mo) @ Tascam: http://www.tascamgiga.com/software_downloads/giga-edit-help.chm - GigaStudio / Sampler @ Chicken Sys: http://chickensys.com/support/software/translator/giga/ - SoundFonts @ Chicken Sys: http://chickensys.com/support/software/translator/soundfont/ Let's have a ride definitely with the Giga file format, unless consistent statements are issued in favor of SoundFonts... 2) Sound On Sound Magazine articles: - EXS24 WORKSHOP Multisampling With EXS24...: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Aug02/articles/exs24.asp - ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES Creating Orchestral Music With Sampled Instruments: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar99/articles/orchestra.htm - PERFECT PIANO LOOPS: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1994_articles/jul94/pianoloops.html - FONTASTIC VOYAGE Creating Personalised AWE32/64 Soundfonts: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1997_articles/jun97/soundfonts.html 3) Some useful tools: - GigOGG & GigFLAC, for file-sharing: http://www.amberfisharts.com/gigogg/ - The "To-Be-Wined" FREE version of Chicken Systems Translator! http://www.chickensys.com/downloads/translator_free.php 4) A partially-working download accelerator alike, thanks to compressed files: http://peroxide.cobaltgroup.com/~jmccaig/ (bearing in mind misc instruments have been updated or released on the "official" site: Bass Clarinet, Bb Trumpet, Tuba & Viola!) The remaining facts: 1) Batch sample slicing for note per sample unity. Except for GigaEdit, I'd like to use mostly opensource software tools: Audacity for edition, Octave / Scilab for "scientific slicing"... I intend to use Octave or Scilab to cut the notes perfectly (once true silences are met: a term on the matrix of zero amplitude) with one single command (just by launching the m-file). I can remember that Matlab has a caveat with 16-bit "wavwriting": the unity amplitude cannot be written due to 2^16 multiples unadequation therefore a warning is prompted... I don't really know if it has to be considered as an offence... 2) Looping or time-stretching? To my ears, looping sometimes adds another kind of uninvited LFO, while time-stretching may seem unatural... Any Time-Streching challenging opensource piece of software? 3) Amplitude and frequency normalization... Any opensource Antares AutoTune-like clone known over there? Or "on the road again" with scientific software? 4) The more the merrier? Should we benefit from using the most available sampled notes for precision or less for RAM/ROM/CPU-ease? 44100 Hz seems to be a bit short for pitchshifting... 5) Space, the final frontier! I've set up a free 100 MB account with PhpExplore installed (a simple php ftp client with multiple users managment) that will unfortunately be useful only for beta-testing... This account could be used as an alternate mirror, hosting GigOgg compressed files for low-bandwidth connected people or testing purpose, only if regular uncompressed (or GigFLACed) files can be accessed somewhere else. Should I look forward to seeking help from The University of IOWA, LinuxSampler or P2P forces? Cheers, Christian

[linux-audio-user] Jackd restart script (why do I need it?)

by David Baron

Need this. Very often, first starting to play is full of scratch. Simple stop and restart using qjackctl most always clears it up. It is as if period of no usage demotes the priority and only a restart fixes it. Ideas?

[linux-audio-user] arecord question

by hansfong＠zonnet.nl

Does anybody know how to override the -d switch used with arecord? I simply want to start recording and exit when I want with ctrl+c. For now I have to estimate the time I want to record and that is not always possible, hence very difficult to set the -d switch.

Re: [linux-audio-user] JACK of Two Cards (not)

by Sampo Savolainen

Hello, If you really just need snippets I would suggest not using jack for recording them. You could for example create a script which starts arecords for both/all cards at (almost) the same time. This way you wouldn't get the distortion created by jack correcting sync problems. Syncing these samples in a multitrack would be a breeze if you create an impulse -type sound which is recorded by all cards (i.e. clap your hands, turn mixer on...). You can also do an impulse in the end of the recording to measure the drift between the cards. This data would allow you to precisely correct the drift by using resampling. The distortion created by jack could be as bad as one clip per period*buffersize samples. I don't think that will be acceptable for anything, but I haven't tried this so it's probably worth trying out if you really need to do your recordings in a RT environment.

[linux-audio-user] Tracker Repository Copyright?

by James Stone

I have found an amazing archive of tracker XI instruments at http://www.kiarchive.ru/pub/misc/sounds/samples/ft2/ I was wondering if others were aware of this resource, and also if anyone knows who made the samples in the first place and what their copyright status is? I have emailed the maintainer of the archive but he is yet to reply. I have a cleaned up version of the archive (with all the files unrar-ed) which is big but maybe would be worth uploading somewhere else if this is allowed? It would be a shame for this resource to disappear completely. James

Return bus?! I am going to take a look at the documentation on the JAMin homepage. I hope then I will understand what you are talking about... My distro (SuSE 9.1) comes with JAMin 0.8.0, Ardour 0.453.1 and jackd 0.94.0. Is this combination okay for mastering live CDs? Thanks for your help, HippiE
