Hi
I am new to Linux and new to this list - a friend of mine set it up last WE
cause i was fed up with Windows and its capitalist way of working. I have
Debian 2.4.22 i think (i know it's 2.4 something). It got installed using
Knoppix then it got upgraded. We tried to upgrade it to 2.6 but some things
were obviously wrong in the set up as it doesn't boot properly (probably
something wrong with the graphic settings cause the screen goes all black).
So i boot to 2.4.
I have a Terratec DMX 6 Fire soundcard and Rosegarden 4 and Audacity but my
problem is i don't seem to be able to record anything. I plugged in my 4
tracks portastudio into the line input as i used to do and i can hear it on
my monitors but i can't record anything in Audacity. I have tried to play
around with the various things in the alsamixer, setting everything to
Capture and all the levels up and so on, but to no avail.
Has anyone got any idea why i can't record?
I also have a question about Rosegarden4. I have a Evolution MIDI keyboard
controller, it's a USB device - i don't seem to get any MIDI date in when
it's plugged via the USB port but i get MIDI data in when i plug it into the
front MIDI input on my soundcard, which is OK for now (i will look into this
USB thing when i upgrade to 2.6 properly i guess). However, i cannot hear
anything - i have set things to "Midi device 1 channel 1" for example and
then selected a bank and a sound - i know the MIDI data gets in as i can see
the small U-meter near the track number go up and down but can't hear
anything. When i go to the set up, it says somewhere "MIDI OK, no audio" -
what does it mean and is it a problem?
I was used to a few programs under Windows but i am not a master in any of
them under Windows and i am totally new to the Linux environment so i'm not
sure whether it is connected to something wrong in my set up or me not
understanding how the software actually works...
Any help would be very much appreciated, especially with the audacity
recording issue as i've done some recordings with a friend and we want to mix
them now but we are stuck because of this issue!
Cheers
Rachel

Other OSS apps work just fine. Nothing shows up with fuser. Weird weird. Xine will not work with the HDSP/MF either (it starts up and immediately shuts down), and Mplayer will work with the sdl output - the oss output is grainy, and the alsa9 won't work at all. It has something to do with the card, because all of these things work fine with my onboard card.
Thanks for your help,
Matt
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
feelings about inexpensive (under $100 US) video cards that run well
under Linux. Thanks!
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.

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
