I am currently using an nVidia Geforce 4 TI which you should be able
to find under a 100bucks. Its not the latest whiz bang card but its very
powerful and I have never had a problem with it. Vesa seems to love it too
:)

I'd appreciate it if some folks would email me off-list with their

The nVIDIA GForce2mx card in my studio machine is on its way out (weird
streaks across the screen) and I'm temporarily using the sub-par
onboard video do work.
I'd appreciate it if some folks would email me off-list with their

No, but I can help in the development. I can easily make literature
searches for algorithms.
We miss only a coder who would write the LADSPA plugin.

Many software would need presets, example sounds and loops,
try-out demos. We need to support people who makes the software
better. I don't see a point of giving money to people who only
makes music.

hi!
i compiled audacity with
./configure --with-portaudio=v19 --without-portmixer
and try to use with jack
when i press "play" button, then auda not play audio.
after EVERY pressing "play" button a pair:
PortAudio client:out_0
PortAudio client:out_1
are added to jack_lsp list.
f.e., after 4 pressing jack_lsp out:
sh-2.05b$ jack_lsp
alsa_pcm:capture_1
alsa_pcm:capture_2
alsa_pcm:playback_1
alsa_pcm:playback_2
PortAudio client:out_0
PortAudio client:out_1
PortAudio client:out_0
PortAudio client:out_1
PortAudio client:out_0
PortAudio client:out_1
PortAudio client:out_0
PortAudio client:out_1
sh-2.05b$
if i try to connect ports
sh-2.05b$ jack_connect PortAudio client:out_0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
then audacity crash.
Who success with pair audacity-jack?
sorry for mistakes, regards.
Hello,
Tom Schouten's music was recommended to me for DJ'ing from a laptop at
an event we are doing in London, a 'GNU/Linux Audio Centre' at the
Sounds Expo 2004 trade show. Although your website says the music is
free to download, it doesn't say anything about live performance
licensing, so I thought I'd check with you if this was OK.
If you could let me know what the licence conditions are for DJ'ing -
if any - I'd appreciate it.
Cheers
Daniel
->I think audacity uses the OSS emulation layer of ALSA, maybe there is a
new "feature" (bug?) in the newest ALSA that breaks emulation for the
HDSP?
What sort of message do you get on startup?
-- Fernando<-
That's just it - there is no startup. It just hangs there with no message or any activity at all - until you interrupt the process or kill it in another shell. I'm going to try downgrading to the "latest stable release" (which is earlier than the 1.1-3 version on planetccrma) when the audacity site is back up - where did the ccrma audacity come from?
Thanks,
Matt
So, I'm running an HDSP/Multiface and a CCRMA redhat system. I can't get audacity to even start. It has worked just fine with past incarnations of the planetccrma kernel/drivers and this card/system. It works fine now with the onboard soundcard. What gives?

I just completed a successful run of ecasound with my guitar_mix.ecs
(attached) on my new box. This is a 15 minutes 5 track session, 4 tracks
from disk, one live jack input. Three outputs: stereo wav, mono wav and
live monitor. It uses amplify and panning effects controlled by ecasound
generic oscillators.
Details on the new box and it's current configuration:
asus a7v8x-x
athlon XP 2800+ (2071.203 MHz)
1.5GB PC2700 RAM
12GB / /dev/hda2 (actually a 40G disk)
160GB /mnt/audio/ /dev/hdc1
drives tuned
2GB swap /dev/hda1
onboard via8235
(M-Audio Delta-66 w/omni i/o -- still in old box)
(ymfpci guillemot maxisound fortissimo -- midi only -- still in old box)
debian testing (sarge)
2.6.1 (pre-empt on -- kernel.org sources compiled via make-kpkg)
realtime-0.0.2 lsm
alsa-1.0.2 (drivers, lib, envy24control, tools)
drivers:
./configure --with-isapnp=no --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=no \
--with-cards=dummy,virmidi,ice1712,ymfpci,via82xx
libsndfile-1.0.5
from tar.gz. debian only had 1.0.4
jack-0.94.0
./configure --enable-capabilities --enable-optimize \
--with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs/ --disable-portaudio
ecasound-2.3.2
./configure --enable-pyecasound --disable-oss --disable-arts \
--with-largefile
I started jackd via jackstart like so:
jackstart -v -R -d alsa -d via82xx -r 44100 -p 128 -n 3
I run the ecasound session from a script that does some pre and post
processing. It assembles the 4 wav input files from other wav's and cuts
the output files down to randomly selected 5 minute chunks, fades in and
out the beginnings and ends, normalizes and encodes the stereo wav to ogg.
The whole session ran on this onboard soundcard without xruns. I
switched desktops numerous times in openbox3 and even switched out of X
to tty2 to login and change my hostname back (I had changed it while in
X and new apps weren't able to start because they couldn't connect to
the display. duh ... 8) ). The session ran flawlessly.
I'm not exactly sure what the stats jackd puts out when run verbosely
mean, but I know the results I saw mean I'll be able to run this session
with many more effects at lower latency than I could on my old box ...
_And_ I don't have to do it as root! yay! :)
The old box is a PII 400 w/768M PC100 RAM. On that box the whole session
including pre and post processing takes around 21 minutes. On the new
box that overhead is cut way down with the whole session taking only 16
minutes 20 seconds (only 1 min, 20 more than the actual recording time).
While running jackd reports load averaging (just measured visually from
jackd output, not hard numbers) around 7.5 with max usecs ~220. On the
old box using my delta66 I have to run at -p 256 to avoid xruns in this
session, load averages around 22 and max usecs around 1350. Admittedly,
much of this performance gain is related to the new hardware. But, still
, it's very cool that all this newish stuff (lsm, latest alsa, latest
ecasound, latest jackd, 2.6 kernel) is working well
In other testing with the via chip I've had jack running as low as -p 32
-n 3 with just a couple jack_metro's connected. I have to go down to -p
16 to get a few xruns. Not until -p 8 do things start to get really bad.
/proc/interrupts says the card's on IRQ 4, too.
I have a few more things to install, configure and test before I move my
delta66 and midi setup over to the new box. But, these initial tests are
very exciting. I just had to share. Thank you to all the developers for
all this excellent software. And thanks to all the list members, too. :)
