It doesn't look like anyone explained the command line to you so I'll do
it real quick.
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 :).

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.

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?

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.

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.

Hi all,
I would like to do the following :
In a live setup :
- recording one bar or two bars (microphone, guitar...)
- looping it directly (so that I can play over it)
- it would be nice to have a click
helps me to find the starting point(like 1,2,3,4 go)
Thought about ecasound maybe or...
Any Suggestions or Experiences
Thanks in Advance
Simon

Seems like you are out of luck. 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. But I doubt it.

You can try to complain to the author(s) of the plugin, and tell them that
it does not work under wine...

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

But don't overuse such a thing. It may remove more than the
hiss only.

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
