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

by Matthew Allen

That's just the main binary for fvwm. If you include all of the modules I think it would put it up past icewm and maybe even past fluxbox. My linux box is at home, but I'll check tonight. m. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-audio-user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu [mailto:linux-audio- > user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu] On Behalf Of Frank Barknecht > Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] suggested Window Manager good for audio? > > Judging by file size, fluxbox is rather bloated, but blackbox comes > out smallest - not counting the anorectic window managers like swm or > failsafewm (ouch!) from www.small-window-manager.de: > > -rwxrwxr-x 1 freak freak 7404 Feb 18 23:58 failsafewm > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 257472 Apr 14 2003 /usr/bin/blackbox > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 359160 Mar 23 2003 /usr/bin/fvwm2 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 406668 Mar 13 2003 /usr/bin/icewm > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 625828 Jan 27 2003 /usr/bin/fluxbox _________________________________________________ Scanned on 18 Feb 2004 23:30:52 Scanning by http://erado.com

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

by Kent, Gary

Many thanks for all of these suggestions, and yes, Robin, if you would be willing to share any config contributions I would be appreciative for it. It's been awhile since I used WM's but maybe now's the time. App's seem to work ok on it ok, and if I could configure a menu to get at them quickly, then I would think I had found a solution. Not to be a bandwidth hog here, but any comments on whether how much cpu savings a person is going to see that can be given to audio? No email at night so might have to comment back on any offerings tomorrow. But thanks to all for sharing this info with me. Thanks again, gk

Make sure and not do what I was doing for a while, and confuse XFce (which is a desktop like KDE and Gnome) and Xfe, which is a very very nice X file manager. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-audio-user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu [mailto:linux-audio- > user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu] On Behalf Of Frank Barknecht > Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 3:25 PM > Florian Schmidt hat gesagt: // Florian Schmidt wrote: > > > try xfce4.

[linux-audio-user] yamaha rp-u200 usb-audio and jack

by jaap

Hi, Ihave a yamaha rp-u200 usb "soundcard". Nice,at the same time it is my hifi and surround-ampli and my radio. The capture-channel doesn'tb seem to work (normal?) With alsa,one of the two playback-channels is working. Not so bad.... But jack doesn't want to start with this device. Is it that "real24bit"-problem for usb-cards? Shouldn't it work? Anyone knows about this? When I start jack for this device I get the following output: jackstart -Rv -d alsa -d hw:0,1 -r 44100 back from read, ret = 1 errno == Success getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_alsa.so jackd 0.94.0 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details registered builtin port type 32 bit float mono audio capabilities: =i cap_setpcap,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_nice,cap_sys_resource+ep loading driver .. new client: alsa_pcm, id = 1 type 1 @ 0x8057d18 fd = -1 apparent rate = 44100 creating alsa driver ... hw:0,1|hw:0,1|1024|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|rt|32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Couldn't open hw:0,1 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead Couldn't open hw:0,1 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead Couldn't open hw:0,1 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead Sorry.

by Matthew Allen

What features are you looking for? Basically if you tell us what you want your WM to do I think we could probably set you on the right path :) m. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-audio-user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu [mailto:linux-audio- > user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu] On Behalf Of Kent, Gary > Subject: [linux-audio-user] suggested Window Manager good for audio? > > Many thanks for all of these suggestions, and yes, Robin, if you would > be willing to share any config contributions I would be appreciative for > it.

[linux-audio-user] Jackstart - realtime capabilities issues

by RachelAPP

I knew i'd come back with more questions sooner or later...! OK, here's my setup: Debian Kernel 2.4.22 Terratec DMX6 Fire (working properly with Alsa driver now - at least, i can record with Audacity) Evolution MC225C Midi controller (plugged into my Terratec Midi input) My computer is a AMD 2400XP, 512 MB RAM I have installed Muse as recommended by somebody and also Jack and when i typed "jackstart --help" in the shell i got this (running as root) jackstart: cannot get realtime capabilities, current capabilities are: =ep cap_setpcap-ep probably running under a kernel with capabilities disabled, a suitable kernel would have printed something like "=eip" I haven't installed Linux myself on my computer - a friend did it and explained to me what he was doing while he was doing it but obviously, i might not know everything about my setup. We installed it starting with Knoppix then upgraded it to Debian. We tried to install the Kernel 2.6 afterwards but it doesn't boot, probably due to a video card error because the screen actually goes blank even though i can hear the hard drive is working. So i have a couple of questions: 1) is there a quick fix for my jackstart problem with my current kernel? 2) should i upgrade to kernel 2.6?

[linux-audio-user] A machine for live gigging?

by Richard K. Ingalls

I'm still very new to Linux Audio Workstations (I've been a Cakewalk/Sonar/SoundForge user for years), so please forgive me if the question seems very basic... I'd like to build a computer to take with me for live gigs that can replace sound module racks (do softsynth/sample playback, multi-timbral, polyphony, etc.). In other words can it replace an Alesis QSR, a Kurzweil K2000RS and a Korg TR? Can I do this and still have great sounds/synth/samples? So the question is can a Linux DAW do this? If yes, what are the specs for such a machine? CPU? RAM? Motherboard? Sound card (very important, eh)? Thanks to all who post! -- =========================================================== Richard K.

[linux-audio-user] amd vs p4

by Tim Blechmann

hi all, i'm curious about your thoughts about the recent generation of amd's 64bit chip and the p4 ... it seems, that the amd chip isn't as fast as the p4 if you compare the floating point performance (what's essential for dsp), but on the other hand it doesn't suffer from the denormal bug (and several pd / ladspa object still suffer from denormal problems) ... i'd be really interested in your thoughts ... Tim mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 -- The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

[linux-audio-user] Re: machines for live gigging

by Brian Redfern

I use a lowly dell 2500 with the midiman quattro usb. I only do stereo output, but now that I have jack working via the ccrma capabilities kernel I may be able to process live input at the same time as well. The quattro isn't for doing heavy multi-tracking, the hdsp with the pc card is a better (but more expensive) choice for doing that. With the capabilities (not the low latency) ccrma kernel the quattro works great with both input and output, and jack works well, though it may perform better when I can upgrade to the maximum 500 megs of ram for my old machine. You don't need the absolute optimal, or most expensive new system, you can get by on a used laptop, or build a pc from scratch, I built my desktop system for $80 from surplus parts, but its still got a 1.1 gigahtz athalon, so you can build a decent (but not the latest) machine for almost pennies compared to what it used to cost to get a machine. You can get barbones shuttle systems for cheap, with the handle for carrying the small box to a gig, that with a flatscreen monitor is cheaper and more robust than a laptop.
