RE: [linux-audio-user] wav to mp3 converter

First the entire command is based on find (one of the most underused and oft looked over commands I have come across, granted I have only been doing this for a year or so) http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/find.1.html so basically: find (name of the command) . (this directory) -name "*.wav" search for the pattern *.wav in the name of the files in this dir -print prints the full filename of any matching files -exec oggenc -q 5 {} \; and the most powerful part of find, basically what this does is that any files it finds run the following command line [up to the \;] replacing {} with the files So basically the commands runs through all the fiels in the current directory and everytime it finds a wave runs oggenc -q 5 mywave.wav cool huh? I love linux :). m. _________________________________________________ Scanned on 01 Jun 2004 17:34:31 Scanning by http://erado.com

[linux-audio-user] All synced up!

by Them

After a fun-filled weekend of doing nothing but downloading and compiling software (after struggling with a flaky wireless card and having to install a new one and build the drivers for it), I have synchronization working beautifully between the two killer apps, Rosegarden and Ardour (Ardour is the master, Rosegarden is the slave). It works even better than expected, and the performance of everything is way better than what I saw on Windows XP (same machine) using Cakewalk and Finale (which I couldn't synch together at all). And the vast number of plugins I have now... I would have had to spend a huge wad of cash to get the same amount of VST of or DirectX plugins. Using JACK and the applications that can use JACK remind me why I was drawn to Unix-ish OSes in the first place so many years ago -- it's not just the individual programs that are important, but the relationship between the programs and how they work together that are important. -- Brett

[linux-audio-user] Audio CD track marks

by Robert Epprecht

I have a long .wav file which I want to burn on CD. I want to set some marks so that one can jump to certain points in the file during playback. Something like a live recording with different pieces of music. I do not want these 'track marks' to be audible (no pause between the numbers). How do I do this? Robert Epprecht

Re: [linux-audio-user] Make Stereo WAV out of Two Separate Files and Other Weird Activities

by Martin McCormick

Them writes: >Audacity can do this kind of thing: Thank you. Will it run in command line mode without the GUI? I forgot to mention that X isn't an option. It is okay if it needs GTK libraries or something like that, but if it only runs under a GUI, it won't work here. Sorry about not being more specific. Martin McCormick

[linux-audio-user] Make Stereo WAV out of Two Separate Files and Other Weird Activities

by Martin McCormick

Is there a way to take two mono .wav files and combine them in to a stereo .wav file? The way I imagine something like this is that the utility combining the two .wavs would have to pad the shorter of the two files out with silence. This gives you two independent streams of audio to play with. Along the same type of thinking, is there a utility that splits a stereo .wav file in to two mono .wavs? Trust me. There are a number of uses for bending the technology in this way. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK OSU Information Technology Division Network Operations Group

Last thing to try is to start the vstserver with the --nonrealtime option to see if it can be the watchdog that is screwing things up.

Oh well. Is there anything sensible I can do to > investigate the problem? You can try to complain to the author(s) of the plugin, and tell them that it does not work under wine... --

[linux-audio-user] ICE1712 and Envy24: multiple soundcard sync

by Michele Spinolo

Hi guys. I installed Suse9.1 with ALSA and 3 Terratec EWS88D connected with the internal clock sync cable: the system seems to be properly configured and 3 ICE1712 drivers are loaded and all three cards work properly. Now I would like to set one of them as "Master" and the others as "Slave", but I can't find this option under Alsa Mixer, Envy24 Control or others tool. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thanks! Michele

[linux-audio-user] jack_fst build question

by Mark Knecht

Hi, I got past my Wine problems today, finally got libfst built successfully and was next trying to build jack_fst. (I hope this is worth the effort...) ;-) However, it's not happy with libfst: mark@flash jack_fst-1.2 $ ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes <SNIP> checking for libfst >= 1.3... Package libfst was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libfst.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libfst' found configure: error: Library requirements (libfst >= 1.3) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. mark@flash jack_fst-1.2 $ What is the pkg-config search path? How's a user like me supposed to adjust this? I've not seen this problem for a long, long time and I've never seen it on a Gentoo box. libfst is installed: mark@flash jack_fst-1.2 $ slocate libfst /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libfst.pc /usr/local/lib/libfst.so /home/mark/data/fst-1.5/libfst.pc.in /home/mark/data/fst-1.5/fst/libfst.spec.c /home/mark/data/fst-1.5/fst/libfst.spec.o /home/mark/data/fst-1.5/fst/libfst.so /home/mark/data/fst-1.5/libfst.pc mark@flash jack_fst-1.2 $ and I've run ldconfig just for completeness but it still doesn't allow this to build. Thanks, Mark
