Nothing about that store is tempting. Unfortunately my lack of disposable income limits my options to the least expensive equipment. > Well, ECS motherboards are at the bottom of the > barrel.

I have read conflicting reports re: those boards for general desktop usage, some say they are rubbish, others say that they offer the best value. I figured I'd ask the list for some linux audio specific info. > I know I > found my ECS Pentium 4 motherboard to be barely > adequate and that was just > for a TELEPHONY logging application where I could > tolerate a -65 dB noise > floor. (OUCH) I guess I should have mentioned that I am not building a DAW for a home studio or anything. I mentioned that my current machine is a PIII-550 without room for any significant upgrades. It is more or less sufficient for most of what I am doing (word processing, telecommunicating, web development, etc.) but for the bits of audio that I am doing it is a little slow. E.g., remastering field recordings with Jamin is a big hassle and completely ties up the computer. I am not doing any 24 bit recording on this box or anything, no analog signals being recorded at all really so RFI or whatever causes the noisyness shouldn't be that relevant (or should it?). > The K7VTA3 is a VIA-chipset system with all of the > usual vagaries and bugs > implied thereto. Okay, so the VIA chipset is problematic re: audio? Could someone who has experienced this briefly outline the problem or maybe point me toward some documentation? > The N2U400 is an nVIDIA nForce chipset motherboard, > which === message truncated === [that's what I get for using my backup webmail interface w/ lau in digest mode I guess] So the upshot is that the nVIDIA chipset is significantly better than the VIA board? Because it is also 40% more expensive as well. But if it really offers a better value then I might go for it. Any informed opinions? Thanks, Barton __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] New version of desktop sounds now available

by Ivica Bukvic

I guess the title says it all. You can grab it from the same place: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12584 (the download is a bit of a hog for the time-being due to fact that I've included 7 different versions of the startup sound in hope users can help me figure out which one is the best one) Comments, questions, and obviously votes are most welcome! Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, composer & multimedia sculptor http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico

[linux-audio-user] Linux songs?!

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. This idea has bugged me last months: how about making a punch of Linux songs? I already know R. Stallman has written a song about free software; perhaps that could be worked out first. This would be a good time to start because today I saw a BBC news on how a song of a Japanese company turned out to be a hit. The company placed video to their webpages and people kept downloading, and now they have sold the song good. Other companies are now making songs as well. If the boom spreads outside Japan, perhaps the good old IBM songs are soon worked out as songs which appeal to our generation. When we make the songs, my wish is that the whole editing projects are made available (not only the final mix). That way anyone could make an another version using the same material. The songs would then work as tutorials as well. Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-user] Inexpensive motherboards/chipsets for linux audio

by Barton Bosch

Does anyone have experience using an ECS N2U400-A or ECS K7VTA3 motherboard for audio work? I'm thinking about upgrading my system (from a PIII-550/SE440bx2) but I don't have any experience with the newer gear. Thanks, Barton __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] ardour automation

by Reuben Martin

Does anybody know if there is a way in ardour to make multiple instances of the same plugin use the same automation track. I guess the propper way to say this is would there be a way to slave multiple plugins to one master automation track. For instance, say there is a bus with multiple channels and I want to insert a plugin that just supports 1 IO. In order to process all the channels I insert multiple instances of the plugin for each channel in the bus. If I want to automate them all the same way though, is there a way to do what I described above? regards, -Reuben
