[linux-audio-user] suggested Window Manager good for audio?

by Kent, Gary

Hi: Hope this isn't off topic for this list. Would someone be willing to suggest a Window Manager that would work well with a Linux audio box using the Planet CCRMA images? I have used the Gnome and KDE environments and just have come to feel that they are too bloated for what I'm trying to do. Does using a Window Manager instead of a full-blown desktop such as Gnome mean that I can have more audio processing power since I am giving up graphics overhead? I am trying out fvwm and it is pretty sparse, but was wondering what others might suggest as best for audio? Many thanks, gk

[linux-audio-user] hdsp & FSC Amilo D 1840W

by Tim Blechmann

hi all, sorry for cross-posting to multiple lists, but is there anyone, who has a hdsp working on a fsc amilo D (preferable 1840W)? thanks a lot ...

[linux-audio-user] capture problems

by Joey Reid

I had to send my Audiophile back because it did not come with the breakout cable, so while I am waiting for the new card to come I figured I would experiment with the onboard sound (nforce2) and test the waters a little. But I am having a problem capturing audio from it. If I connect an audio source to the line-in, I can hear it playing through my system. Then I start qjackctl and get jack going. Then in ardour, I create a track and connect it to the alsa_pcm capture, but there doesn't appear to be any signal coming in. I have recorded from other jack clients (Hydrogen) so I think I have that part figured out, but the capture is not working. The whole time, I can still hear the audio source through my system. Should I be hearing this? If I look at the jack connections, there is no connection between the alsa_pcm capture clients and the alsa_pcm playback clients. Sorry for the noob questions, but I have never tried to capture audio before. I promise once I get up to speed I will be on the other end (helping out ;-)

RE: [linux-audio-user] LADCCA (was: Some music made with Linux)

by Matthew Allen

Ok yeah I guess my semantics were wrong :)! Is there a way to make other programs play nice? I often day dream about writing a small (actually when I stop daydreaming and start writing it down it becomes rather large) python script that checks against a list of audio programs to see which are running and uses the new functionality of qjackctl to restart and reconnect them. (actually I don't know if you can query qjackctl for its current setup, don't have the man pages here at work).

[linux-audio-user] LADCCA (was: Some music made with Linux)

by Matthew Allen

LADCCA is a pretty cool idea. It doesn't seem like it supports that many apps though? Am I missing something or can you use it with more that just jack rack, Muse, and the alsa patchbay? m. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-audio-user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu [mailto:linux-audio- > user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu] On Behalf Of Steve Harris > > Yeah, LADCCA - I was playing with it last night.

[linux-audio-user] vxpocket causes cardmgr segfault on powerbook

by digger vermont

Hello All, I had hopes that I would bring home the vxpocket plug it in and start playing around. Nope. Well, at least not with the guitar. I have a Powerbook G4. 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, Alsa 1.0.2c. With both kernels cardmgr segfaults when I insert the vxpocket. With the 2.6 kernel cardmgr will segfault at boot even without the card inserted but just by having alsa load the snd-vxpocket modules before card-services are started. Are there any tricks to setting it up? Seems like the problem spans several mailing-list so I thought I'd try here first. Thanks, digger

[linux-audio-user] Some music made with Linux

by Pete Bessman

Hi all, Check out http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/eastsidemilitiamusic.htm After getting Specimen to an acceptable state, I threw together this proper demo. It has no vocals since me and my larynx don't get along, but I encourage anyone who so desires to rectify that deficiency. I used Seq24 for MIDI sequencing, Specimen for sampling, and Ardour for recording. Except for the guitars, everything in this song was produced by Specimen+Seq24. Someone on this list asked me to keep a detailed journal of the process by which I created this (unfortunately I can't remember who). Well, as far as the Linux side of things goes, it's not very interesting. I used the aforementioned tools in a typical fashion. For general recording, any account I have to write would be duplication of effort. Instead, check out: http://www.tweakheadz.com/guide.htm Oh, and give the song a listen beyond the cheesy introduction. That part is meant to sound cheesy. If the rest of the song sounds cheesy, then I'm a failure, but have patience with the intro ;-) [pb]

[linux-audio-user] Alsa configuration in 2.6.* (was compiling alsa for 2.6.2)

by David Baron

I added lines that were in modules.conf to modprobe.conf. Now and mpu401 driven devices is active! The USB still is not, though snd-usb-audio is registering on boot and deregistering on shutdown. Both are listed in lsmod, similar to listing in 2.4.22: # lsmod | grep mpu401 snd_mpu401 4224 0 snd_mpu401_uart 8352 2 snd_mpu401,snd_es1968 snd_rawmidi 25536 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_mpu401_uart snd 55012 10 snd_mixer_oss,snd_mpu401,snd_usb_audio,snd_es19 68,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device # lsmod | grep usb snd_usb_audio 63968 0 usbcore 114652 1 snd_usb_audio snd_pcm 104640 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_es1968 snd_rawmidi 25536 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_mpu401_uart snd 55012 10 snd_mixer_oss,snd_mpu401,snd_usb_audio,snd_es19 68,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device # lsmod | grep es1968 snd_es1968 34020 0 snd_ac97_codec 55556 1 snd_es1968 snd_pcm 104640 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_es1968 snd_page_alloc 12100 2 snd_es1968,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 8352 2 snd_mpu401,snd_es1968 snd 55012 10 snd_mixer_oss,snd_mpu401,snd_usb_audio,snd_es1968,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device The snd-es1968 and snd_ac97_codec are similarly listed, even though this card is also not active (the card has a AGOPO chip but different codecand there is presently no ALSA driver for it). Only the mpu401 is listed in cat /proc/asound/cards. Both the mpu401 and the USB interface worked in 2.4.22.

[linux-audio-user] Re: Some music made with Linux

by David Baron

Comments (I haven't listened to it yet) indicate why, alak and alas, I still use Windows for music production. 1. DX and VST effects. VST has coming, now to linux. I am more in the DX arena with Cakewalk software, however. The DX effects I do use have VST equivalents or twins so I have no objection to going over to VST under Linux. It is, I understand, a much easier interface to program. ...but... 2. MIDI post-processing. I use Ntonyx software to process finished MIDI sequences. This inserts controllers for more realistic playing style and the results can be very good. Nothing of this ilk on Linux and not likely to be--we are very accostumed to OpenSource and Gnu. These folks want to sell licenses. The cost of this software is very reasonable for professional use. The cost and development and supporting a Linux port is nothing to snicker-at--Windows is a larger market still and one where folks fork up the dough. (I have been employed in this business and understand the issue too well.) 3. MIDI arranging tools. I use Jammer but Ntonyx's Onyx is an up-and-comer and Band in a Box is an old mainstay. Again, these folks want to sell licenses and ... I can send mp3's on request (with usual copyright understanding) to illustrate my point.

Running Ntonyx software under wine? Yes, I have tried. Style enhancer version 3 will only run from the login profile where it was installed. I have complained about this but it has not been fixed to my knowledge. So one get's the message: You need to reinstall the styles. Style enhancer version 2.* will attempt to run. Programs that need to load something else under wine will rarely work. This one needs to load either a 16bit or 32bit version of a sequencer component (apparently not recognized as a local dll). This fails. Wine needs a PIF file for each application to judicate such things and also to resolve the symbol table once instead of every load. Hint-hint, winemakers! Onyx did not work if I recall correctly. Other software: Jammer, as opposed to a few other sequecing and MIDI playering apps, did mesh with the active MIDI devices emulated from ALSA through wine's OSS. (Wine's ALSA interface has not worked for me). The program died in neverland. Audio stuff I cannot try as of yet, but since this become RT-critical, I would say not to bother. A VST enabled Adour will be as good as some Windows DAW programs. An aside, XGEdit will run under wine, play to and control my sw60xg throught the mpu401 driver. Attempting to read the usb-audio (which is working under kernel 2.4.22) hangs. ABCmuse will play through the mpu401 interface just fine. How any of this stuff would fair under a more intensive VM such as VMWare or WIn4Linux -- has anyone tried? I do not have the money to buy them and now trial is available.
