[linux-audio-user] RME Multiface vs. M-Audio Delta 1010

by Florin Andrei

I'm comparing the RME Multiface with the M-Audio Delta 1010 (the full model, not the LT). Both things provide 8 balanced analog ins/outs (and balanced is very important to me), some digital ins/outs (the M-Audio provides only SPDIF, RME has SPDIF and optical) and MIDI. Both are fully supported by ALSA. Both can do 96kHz/24bit. M-Audio Delta doesn't have headphones output. The big difference is the price. RME Multiface can be bought in the US for like $920 (the breakout box plus the PCI card). M-Audio Delta 1010 is $600 total; even if i stick to it a 4-way headphone amp, it's still only $700. What do i lose if i go the M-Audio way, instead of the RME? I know the RME stuff are more like sound routers (can combine the channels in a very flexible fashion), plus they do a lot of things with 0% CPU load. How's the M-Audio Delta in this regard? Can i do the same clever things with it? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

[linux-audio-user] Sending single wav file to multiple alsa sound devices simultaenously ?

by Robert Rozman

Hi, I have set up two alsa devices with dmix plugin for each. I can now send several independent audio streams to two destinations - different sound cards (dmix_main and dmix_kids). I wonder if I can set up additional pcm device that could receive single audio stream and send it to two cards simultaenously ? Can this device be used in parallel to both dmix devices ? Thanks, Robert.

[linux-audio-user] setting loops for sf2 files

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I'm working on a sf2 of the MIS piano and need an efficient way to setup all the looppoints. Would be nice is swami was able to truncate the audio, but it seems not. Would it be possible to truncate/loop the files outside swami and have the looppoints imported along with the samples? If so what software should I use for setting loops?? Thanks in advance. -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

[linux-audio-user] Re: [linux-audio-dev] [ANN] new LADSPA plugins

by Frank Barknecht

Hallo, CK hat gesagt: // CK wrote: > analyseplugin says: > > "Comb Filters" input, control, toggled, default 1 > so #4 - #7 should be set to 1 I put a patch that works for me here: > http://test.pilot.fm/nolink/ladspa_tap_rev.pd Ah, thank you, now it is working. Somehow I was under the impression, that the filter controls set *how many* filters are in use... It seems, also the other values should be set to decent values. I do get warnings with some of your example values which exceed the boundaries set by tap_reverb. I changed this and added a preset name display (using the Pd external "pool") to an archive here: http://footils.org/pkg/ladspa_tap_rev.tgz Tom, although I only shortly listened to it: This is a wonderful sounding and highly flexible reverb, something that was sorely missing before. I don't like freeverb and gverb very much, but this will become a favourite, a classic, I'm confident. So cool. Thank you a lot. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__

[linux-audio-user] Dealing dynamically with multiple sound sources and sound cards in home environment

by Robert Rozman

Hi, I'm designing integrated home automation/entertainment system based on Linux and other open source apps. I have several possible sound sources (like Festival as speech synthesis, music players, and also possible voip or ordinary telephony applications). I'd like to deal with all this stuf using signal routing and mixing. Some possbile scenarions: - when internet voice call comes in, then I connect to local audio card for certain room - when watching TV, speech synthesis would like to announce something - from one room I'd like to talk to another... If I think ideally - best would be to have range of "virtual" sound destinations, that could be dinamically routed,mixed to physical devices. As far as my novice knowledge goes I was thinking of using Alsaplayers as music/wav players (they have software volume control) , Jack (as sound servers) and Ecasound (for routing, mixing) .... Any other advice in apps to use, more info or any other opinion would be more than grateful. Thanks in advance, Robert.

In Pd, as it cannot use controls with spaces, you send messages like "control #1 4" to set the first control to 4. I did set the Filter controls this way to several values like 13 or 17. Should this turn them on? BTW: The other TAPs are working fine, http://footils.org/snd/echos.ogg is a pluck playing through the stereo echo in Pd. (It's a bit big, 7.3M, currently uploading.) ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__

I cannot hear it. :( I'm testing the reverb in Pd but although I crank up decay times and played with dry/wet I cannot hear a reverb. I can hear a bit of (seemingly high pass) filtering, but no real reverbaration at all. I should hear a hall when selecting say "Smooth Hall", shouldn't I? Changing presets seems to work, as the filtering gets different when changing presets, but here I wouldn't call this a reverb. Maybe someone could provide a small ogg which shows what I should hear? ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__

[linux-audio-user] Recording Internet Stream, Duplex, Help!?

by Ed

Hi LAU, OK, after 4 hours on this and enough Googling to break my keyboard, I have to admit defeat. What I Want To Do: 1. Load a web page containing a Flash Film 2. Play the Flash Film 3. Record any sound the Flash Film delivers to a WAV file. 4. Maybe post-process the WAV into Ogg, MP3, etc. What I Have (Hardware + Software): 1. SB Audigy 2. Alsa kernel drivers, 1.0.0 RC2 3. Alsa libs, 1.0.0 RC2 4. Jack, compiled with the above Alsa libs 5. Ecasound, compiled with the Alsa libs and Jack What works: 1. Sound from CD, System beeps, etc. works What doesn't work: 1. Alsa: arecord -f cd -o test.wav, when playing an Ogg file, e.g. 2. Ecasound: ecasound -i:alsahw,0 -o test.wav, when playing an Ogg file, e.g. Am I missing something fundamental here? I can't imagine that this is an especially arcane wish, simply wanting to record and play at the same time, yet I can't find anything on this which helps. I have played with alsamixer for about an hour, but I simply get silence all the time. All the 'capture' devices are things like Mic, CD, Line-In, etc., which is, obviously, NOT what I want. I simply want to record what I am currently hearing -- although I'm testing this with playback of Ogg, actually I clearly want to record the sound from the Flash Film mentioned. I have read the various docs for Alsa, Ecasound and Jack, but I have to admit that sound on Linux is *very* confusing. I am not really sure whether I'm supposed to be using /dev/dsp, alsahw, or some other arcane terminologies -- kernel compilation is easy in comparison! I'm not getting any errors, by the way, everything *seems* to work, but when I stop playback and check the output, all I hear is dead air. I can (joyfully!) send the output of amixer if that would help, hope to get a reply on this one soon. In Windows, this is a 5-minute no-brainer. Install Total Recorder, and that's that. I can't imagine that it must be so complex in Linux? First time I've really hit a wall in Linux -- which clearly shows that sound is something which needs to be clarified a *LOT* in Linux. (Having alsamixer start with everything mute is a good example of this!) Thanks a million if anyone can help: otherwise I'm rebooting into Windows for now, since there's no other way of doing this at the moment. Ed
