Hi all:
I recvd. permission from Event Electronics to forward this reply
shown below that they gave to me re: Linux drivers for their USB Audio
Interface/Controller/Mixer. For anyone else considering writing a
manufacturer I thought that I would mention how appreciative they were
when asked for permission first before forwarding their replies to this
list. I thought it was pretty good news.
Ok, take care,

Subject: RE: question about mac os10 and Linux
Hello Gary and greetings from Event,
Thank you for owning an EZbus digital mixer. I'm glad you have had a
good experience with Event and your EZbus. I am a Mac guy myself, and
wish that complete drivers were coded for the Mac platform, but
unfortunately they were not ported to Mac. There are third party Linux
drivers that are being worked on right now for both the EZ8 and EZbus.
I do believe they will be submitted to the ALSA project, but I can not
be sure. As the EZbus gets older, I am more and more strongly
petitioning for source code release of the drivers to the ALSA project.
I'm getting closer by the day.
Thank you for the support, and hopefully good things will come out of
this. Take care and let me know if you have any further questions,
comments or concerns.

# chmod +s /usr/local/bin/fluidsynth
This makes the application run as root. Therefore it's not entirely safe,
but it works well for me.

Hi
Everytime that I start fluidsynth as a
normal user, console mode or under
Qsynth, I get the message "fluidsynth:
warning: Couldn't set high priority
scheduling for the MIDI input". This
causes for me severe note dropout when
I play MIDI files with lots of tracks.
Otherwise, if I start it as root
there's no warning message and
everything plays fine. Is it possible
to make fluidsynth get the "high
priority scheduling" for a non root user?
Thanks
Lucio

Hi:
Just posting this for anyone who might be experiencing
problems with a similar setup. I was able to make my USB Event EZbus
(2-channel) work great with my Planet CCRMA setup. But only after
setting the period size to 2048 at 48000. I was always able to record
via the 2 channels, but other apps which depended on jack would crackle
very badly. Setting this period size to 2048 did the trick.
Ok, thanks for the help,

If anyone else wants to get together to get a ticket on the same flight
that would be cool. Makes waiting in the airport less dull and we can
share taxis at the far end. Its still (just) early enough to get cheap
flights to Frankfurt.
The flights I'm thinking of are:
BA0908 LHR to FRA, leaving 12:30 Wed 28th Apr
BA0911 FRA to LHR, leaving 18:45 Sun 2nd May
but I havent decided yet, there are quite a few flights.
total cost is UKP 78.50 inc taxes and stuff, the train from Frankfurt to
Karlsruhe is frequent, fast, comfortable and cheap (EUR 30ish).
The lowcost airlines do cheap flights to "Frankfurt", but its to an
airport thats a long way from the city, and the times are very
inconvienient.
Additionally if anyone wants to share a taxi from Southampton to Heathrow
that would be even better :) Otherwise I'l schlep up on the train I guess.

Hello.
I want to change the tempo (speed) without changing the pitch of an
audio file (extracted from an avi file) so that it plays quicker.
What application is recommended for doing this? If there are
options, I prefer command line tools.
Regards.
Romildo

Timemachine is a JACK app for recording noises you might otherwise have
missed. It prerecords a selectable ammount of audio (default 10 seconds)
and when you press record it writes that (and any future audio) to disk as
32bit WAV files. It allows up to 8 channels.
It is stable enough to use for all your basic JACK recording needs.
New features:
* Pick pre-buffer time (-t <time>, thanks to patch from Jörn Nettingsmeier
* Visual indication of ready / recording / busy status
* LASH (nee LADCCA) support
* > 2GB files (with latest libsndfile)
* Window manager icon :)
* 1 channel recording now works
Enjoy,
Steve
Hi. I'm trying to learn how to use Ardour. I'm doing so by using it to
do some simple tasks for which it's really overkill (moving a series of
long mono recordings of a live performance to disk, cutting it up into
tracks, using gain envelopes to clean up some spots, exporting to WAVs),
but which will give me the chance to learn the basics of how it's used.
I've looked at the manual at ardour.org, but it's under construction and
the vast majority of its intended contents aren't there yet. The ProTools
reference manual has been helpful to understand concepts; but there's
necessarily still a bit of a disconnect. I've looked through the Ardour
documentation project stuff at http://www.djcj.org/LAU/ardour/ , much of
which has been helpful; but a lot of it appears to have been written for
much earlier versions of Ardour, and the interface buttons/mouse
actions/etc. no longer seem to be the same. Many of the menu commands
have hotkeys, and there are apparently hotkeys for other actions not in
the menus; but I can't find a list of those hotkeys anywhere. The FAQ
that comes with the software is helpful re: the mouse actions, but I'm not
sure what some of the mouse actions described even are. I've searched the
archives of this mailing list for other requests for Ardour docs; the
requests have typically been a while ago, and in response they've been
referred to the above docs.
So I'm wondering if, in the time that's lapsed since then and since some
of the above has been written, there've come along any other source for
Ardour documentation/ instructions that I've missed?
Thanks,
-c
P.S. Does anyone know if the ardour-users-ardour.org list is functional?
I joined it 10 hours ago and sent it an email asking about archive from
before last month; it didn't seem to forward on to the rest of the list
(at least, I didn't get a copy). The list archives haven't shown any
activity for about 20 hours.
