[linux-audio-user] RE: Major problem with RME HDSP/Multiface and a 64-bit AMD laptop

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Forgot to ask two more questions: 1) How can I go about testing the throughput of my pcmcia cardbus in order to see whether it is the culprit? 2) If the cardbus proves to be the problem, is there a way to hook-up hdsp directly via Firewire port, or is there perhaps an adaptor that converts either USB 2.0 or Firewire into pcmcia cardbus? Many thanks! Ivica Ico Bukvic, composer & multimedia sculptor http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/

[linux-audio-user] hard disk sampler

by Hawkeye Parker

hi all, i'm fairly new to linux and linux audio, and i've been just trying to get my bearings amid the staggering amount of audio software. i'd like to use linux as a hard disk sampler, and here is the general functionality i'd like: -ability to "compose" with samples, in the same way that you'd use a sequencer to work with a synth. i.e., be able to arrange samples into tracks and specify when (rhythm) and at what pitch the samples play. -some sort of mixer to mix things down so i can record it. -ablility to add software effects to the above tracks. essentially, what i'm looking for is some way to reproduce the ~nature~ of Sonic Foundry's Acid for Windows. i don't really *want* Acid, or even one specific piece of software, but just some way to use samples in a similar sort of way. one thought i've had is to use fluidsynth/swami to build soundfonts of the samples i want to use, and then drive those samples with MusE. MusE supports LADSPA, so i would have per/track access to LADSPA plugins on top of the samples. right?? building the soundfonts will take time, though, and i wonder if there isn't a more direct way to accomplish the same thing (like Acid, where you drag and drop waveforms right onto your track). i've looked at Simsam (sampler) as well, and the occured to me that i could run multiple instances of Simsam through multiple jack-racks, but this is obviously a kludge, and there must be a better way (?) i'm also considering diving into TerminatorX -- it looks very promising . . . any suggestions? thanks in advance, hawkeye parker

I added 2 virtuals midi ports in my /etc/modules.conf, reboot : there was no problem with the initialisation, but it doesn't work : no virtual midi port.

Re: [linux-audio-user] measuring sound volume

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Patrick, > Do you mean the layout of the systems? Sorry but no, I meant the pattern of the individual speakers or a cluster of them --- however they are packaged. The inverse square law that Steve Harris mentioned would result in a spherical pattern from a point source. If you took a slice of that, it would be a circle. The sound pattern of most real speakers don't look like that. They have quite "distorted" shapes. If you laid these out according to the layout of the system, you could get some idea of the sound pattern, but it would be neglecting boundaries, wave interference, etc. It looks to me, from another post, that Mark Knecht may have some more words of wisdom here. Certain types of speakers should be similar enough that rules of thumb and prior experience may be very helpful.

[linux-audio-user] command line utility to change bit depth

by derek holzer

Does anyone know a good command-line app to change bit depth of WAV files? I'd like to batch process a bunch of files. Ecasound does not have this feature to my knowledge. d. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 54: "Do something sudden, destructive and unpredictable"

Re: [linux-audio-user] measuring sound volume

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Regarding the inverse square law: Be careful! This law applies to idealized situations such as point sources in isotropic, homogeneous media. For a speaker in a tunnel, for example, it does not hold true. Speakers have radiation patterns as do electromagnetic devices such as antennae. Boundaries are also important. You will also have interference effects, etc. I would anticipate that the inverse square law to be quite inaccurate, but being outside will help. I love theory myself, but this situation calls for the voice of experience. (Now if that voice says, "Always use the inverse square law," please let me know.) The best thing I can think of from a theoretical perspective (sort of) is to obtain the speaker patterns if you can.

[linux-audio-user] Can't have second port on Midisport 2x2 USB

by Mirouf Linux

Hi, I've got a Midisport 2x2 USB, which run with EZbusmidi. I've got few configuration problems: - With AlSA, i have to plug the interface after RedHat had been launch, otherwise ALSA intervert the number of my cards: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [PAD ]: Digi96 - RME Digi96/8 PAD RME Digi96/8 PAD at 0xe7000000, irq 19 1 [M2x2 ]: USB-Audio - Midisport 2x2 Midiman Midisport 2x2 at usb-00:02.1-3 The RME became [1] and Midisport [0], so it works, but not with all the applications, and i've got to set up the whole sound system eatch time i remove the midisport, not very cool... Do someone got any ideas ? - With ardour, I set up my ardour.rc file like that: Midi-port tag "Midisport" device=/dev/snd/midiC1d0 ... It works, i've got MTC on port A, but i can't find the device for port B. I tried midiC1D1, MidiC2D0 : it doesn't work. Can someone help me , and show me the way to find what device i've to use?

[linux-audio-user] patches for Quattro etc. problems

by Frank Barknecht

Hi, here's an update to the notorious problem with some M-Audio USB devices on kernel 2.6. I won't be able to test this in the next time, but maybe some other owners of Quattro, Duo or Audiophile USBwant to give it a try. If yes, please report to Alan Stern or linux-usb-devel. ciao, -- Frank ----- Forwarded message from Alan Stern <stern(a)rowland.harvard.edu> ----- Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 10:12:45 -0500 (EST) From: Alan Stern <stern(a)rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: USB development list <linux-usb-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: invalid alternate setting Here's an announcement for people interested in using USB devices with invalid configuration descriptors. I've completed a series of patches that will make the system accept such devices, to the extent that it can. You will have to apply all three patches in sequence; each is a prerequisite for the next. They should go on top of a 2.6.4 system. The patches are: as221: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=107937025411336&w=2 as222: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=107937021027794&w=2 as223: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=107937029404286&w=2 The first two patches just improve the error logging; you might like to see what happens when you plug in your devices. The third is the one that changes the kernel's behavior. Please let me know if the patches don't work as expected. Not all the USB drivers will work properly with that third patch installed, so be warned. The USB audio class driver should be okay. I have no idea what will happen with the ALSA USB audio/MIDI driver; it hasn't been updated yet. Alan Stern ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
