1. Are alsa drivers multi-client? (Two applications can read/write simultaneously to the in or out--i.e. a patch controller and a sequencer doing notes). 2. Can dummy MIDI devices be installed (virmidi?) to be used for pipelining midi-out from one program to midi-in to another or for overcoming single-client problems (Windows examples MidiYoke, MidiMatrix, Hubi's). 3. Seeing as wine sessions successfully enumerate the MIDI devices and actually played to one! but no native program such as Rosegarden has--KDE has a MIDI-mapper dialog similar to windows. Must they be set up there from /dev/ mid0 .... references? 4. Jack has been recommended. What precisely is this and how does this work? 5. Can the recommended Ardour/Jack rpm for Madrake be used on Debian?

[linux-audio-user] Ardour/Jack package

by David Baron

OK, got it. Install fine with the same locale error but it's all English anyway. I have no working audio right now. When I do, what do I do with jack?

[linux-audio-user] Re:Compiling!

by David Baron

While the audio and MIDI still do not work on my linux, I downloaded a few packages to look at them. Gmorgan, Audour, etc. Once they FINALLY untar, the seemingly simple and by now familiar: ./configure; make; make install. NO GO. 1. Configure--usually looking for a certain automake version. This test is in error, but easy enough to fix up. The version string is defined up front. Edite to what you have on your system. Now, if you've installed any needed libraries, configure should run. 2. Make--complains about locale, defaults at least, requesting en_us, etc. Only problem with this is that my environment IS set that way. Then it complains about recursive directory references and aborts. A subdirectory with the same name of one of its ancestors is not necessarily a recursive reference so this is also a programming error. So I rerun with a do-it-anyway option -B. Still gets to some point and aborts. 3. Make install--actually the same comments apply. After that, obviously will not install what was not compiled.

[linux-audio-user] Mandrake 9.2 and kmix

by Howard Sanner

Greetings, I didn't see anything about this in the archives. For about two I've been using Mandrake 8.1 with Kmix 1.90, Broadcast 2000, and an Ensoniq ES1370 sound card to make audio recordings. It has worked fine. Over the weekend I installed Mandrake 9.2 on a fresh hard disk. Then I installed Broadcast 2000 from the Mandrake 8.1 distribution. Sound playback works fine. I can also record. However, nothing I do with Kmix will change the record level, up or down. The default level is quite low, with peaks hitting around -25 dBFS or so. The source is an FM broadcast from a consumer receiver (i.e., -10 dB output). I logged in as root, set all sliders to their maximum, and saved that as the default level. I'm sure I'm doing something very simple and stupid wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. Many thanks. Howard Sanner flagstad(a)mindspring.com

Yes - I've written a feature on Mirror Image which I'm told should be in the February issue of Sound on Sound, which will actually come out around the second week of January. The interview is with Ron Parker, who is responsible for the Linux setup there. Mirror Image is in Minneapolis, Minnesota - I don't know how far that is from you. > I'm building my next computer, and I'll be getting a small digital > board... either the Yamaha 01V96 or the Tascam DM-24 (I'm stuck on > that choice, but leaning towards the 01V96). If I knew for sure > that Ardour worked well, I may give it a try, but if all I could > expect were alot of time consuming problems, I'd go with something > else... What I hear from regular Ardour users is that the program is approaching the stability required for day in day out use, but some tweaking is still required. Building a Linux audio workstation yourself is a learning experience, and if you don't want to invest the time to learn about the technology then it may not be for you. However, Linux audio systems may require a smaller financial investment than proprietary solutions, by way of compensation. I'd say going down the DIY route is great for people who want to learn and can invest the time but don't have so much money. If you have money but no time, you can pay a consultant to build any system you want. If you have no time to spare and no money, then I guess you need to sort that out first before you can do any kind of recording work, because any solution is going to require an investment of both time and money. Personally, I find that I get a lot out of my interaction with the Linux audio community that I wouldn't get from a traditional software vendor. I recommend that you join the Linux Audio Users mailing list as a first step to find out the kind of things that people are doing: http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/subscribelau.php3 Cheers Daniel

[linux-audio-user] Recommendations for Low Latency Kernel

by The Other

12/26/03 Hello All, I'm currently running Mandrake 9.1 on a PII-350MHz with 128MB RAM box. If you have any suggestions for a low latency kernel geared to music applications, please provide them. My background is WIN95B running Cakewalk Pro Audio 8.04, Harmony Assistance (latest version) from Myriad-Online, and SEKd's Samplitude Studio 4.0 through a Sound Blaster Live! Value card. Nearly all of this hardware and software is circa 1998. In addition to the low latency kernel, I would like to have Linux software for MIDI sequencing and score printing. My printing needs will be very special later on as I would like to use TeX or some variant to print non-Western European notes, such as E# or A##. If you also have recommendations for MIDI sequencing with audio recorded tracks in one program (like Cakewalk) and software that will take MIDI input to generate a score, please provide them as well. Thank you for your help, 'The Other' Stephen Stubbs.

[linux-audio-user] gmorgan-0.20 released

by holborn

Hi! gmorgan is a rhythm station. a full programable accompaniment tool in real-time and also a pattern based sequencer. Requirements: --------------------- ALSA FLTK News on 0.20 -------------------- Convert midifiles to patterns. Patterns and styles added. Drastically reduced the amount of memory needed (67%). Changed to Autotools-1.6. gmorgan is availabe on: http://gmorgan.sf.net Thanks Josep

[linux-audio-user] Need help recording with Terratec DXM 6FIRE

by Carlos Santos

Hi! I'm newer by this list. I've been using ALSA driver 1.0.0rc2 for my Terratec DMX 6FIRE sound card, based on the envy24 chipset. The driver loaded is icy1712. Now my problem resides on recording audio to any wave editor / multitrack software, like mhWaveEdit, Audacity, and so on... On Audacity I'm able to record but I need to record several tracks at the same time to get only 2 tracks (the tracks that correspond to the input I'm using). For any other wave editor I'm not able to record anything! I know that this chipset is based on multi-track processing but if under windows it is possible to select a record input, it also should be possible under Linux!!! I've tried everything under envy24control... and even with the Digital Mix selected (where all inputs are mapped to) I'm still unable to record anything. Does this have anything to do with "bindings" parameters I found on ALSA documentation?? However I'm not understanding it well... Currently inputs: ADC 1 & 2 (0 1) - Mic In ADC 3 & 4 (2 3)- Line In / Wavetable ADC 5 & 6 (4 5) - Mic In / Phono ADC 7 & 8 (6 7) - ??? ADC 9 & 10 (8 9) - SPDIF/In (For instance, to record my guitar, connected to Mic Input, on Audacity I must record 6 tracks in order to be able to get something recorded... on tracks 5 and 6) Some doubts remain: What is connected to ADC 7 & 8? I don't know any other inputs on my card... is that for a mix input? (all channels mixed up on digital mix)? The IPGA controls are used for what? Why there isn't a record selector on the ALSA mixer or on envy24control for recording wave files from specific inputs? Now... finally... is it possible to remap, using te bindings section, the inputs? For instance, is it possible to map ADC 5 & 6 for inputs 1 & 2? Binding: 0 4 1 5 ???? Thanks a lot! Carlos

Re: [linux-audio-user] beeps are going to break my ears

by Juhana Sadeharju

>From: george bush <freakjazz(a)yahoo.com> > >how are you experts getting along with beep ? Not at all. Computer geeks should be forced to go to computer ergonomics course. One should also invent a silent mouse where no button clicks are heard. Specially in audio processing such clicks are not wanted. If "xset b off" don't work (as it didn't here), try "xset b 0 0" (check manual page for the details as I don't remember how many zeros one have to put there). Regards, Juhana
