[linux-audio-user] Re: Recommendations for audio software needed

by Juhana Sadeharju

>From: Conrad Newton <conrad.newton(a)broadpark.no> > >Have you used cecilia, the front end to csound? >Does it make the whole package more user-friendly? Can user in Cecilia build Csound instruments in a similar manner than one builds in Reaktor? I have compiled and I'm still compiling a list of visual programming, signal flow audio software (52 so far). The list has one Csound front-end: InstrumentBuilder Mark Trombino No source code I just wanted to look at as many as possible this type of software because I'm developing my own. However, the visual programming GUI would be needed in many software and thus I would like to see a standalone visual programming GUI which would be usable for many applications. I have collected many pdf papers on this topic and would need help in checking them. Please mail me privately if interested. Anyone has Reaktor's (and other NI product's) pdf manuals? I'm missing many more manuals; please mail me for a list. Regards, Juhana

Re: [linux-audio-user] NoteEdit 2.3.4 note entry (beam) question

Hello, Joerg Anders said: >> use the beam tool. Is there a shorter way? > > No, unfortunately. Perhaps I'll sometimes improve this. But currently I'm > working on a different GPL project. So I can only do only a small support > for NoteEdit. Thanks for answering! If no secret, which project are you in now? And - do you mind if I try hacking on NoteEdit? There are a couple similar entry speed problems (like slurs - also "selection required"), and I thought I could try, although I'm not at all sure I;ll succeed anytime soon. However, branching usually stinks, so I'd better ask for the author's blessing. Is there some CVS/alpha code out there, so I could hack on the latest version? Or is 2.3.4 the final code for today? (Someday I'd like to write the specs and start a new project specifically for note entry - basically a frontend to one of the text-based note formats; but I'd like to learn all there is to learn about NoteEdit first, as this is the closest free projects that exist). Sincerely yours, Mikhail Ramendik

JAMin is a GPL licenced, state-of-the-art realtime mastering processor designed to bring out the detail in recorded music and provide the final layer of polish.

[linux-audio-user] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden-4-0.9.6 released

by Chris Cannam

The Rosegarden team announce the release of Rosegarden-4 0.9.6, an audio and MIDI sequencer and score editor for Linux. To download the source package, go to the homepage at http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ This release is primarily to address a significant problem with 0.9.5 that was seriously affecting sequencer timing performance for some users. For this reason we strongly recommend an upgrade. Be aware that one of the fixes in this release mandates the use of Qt 3.1 or newer to build; Qt 3.0 is no longer supported. This release also contains new translations of the GUI into Italian, Swedish and Estonian, thanks to Daniele Medri, Stefan Asserhäll, and Hasso Tepper. These are in addition to the existing support for US and UK English, Russian, Spanish, German, French, and Welsh. Chris

Re: [linux-audio-user] Recording from SPDIF with Audiophile

by Tommi Sakari Uimonen

Hi, try putting this to ~/.asoundrc pcm.spdif_capture { type plug ttable.0.8 1 ttable.1.9 1 slave.pcm { type hw card 0 device 0 } } ecasound -i alsa,spdif_capture -o alsa,plughw:0 (I assume that Audiophile is card number 0) or -o test.wav, but with the former you can monitor your spdif from the analog outputs (of course you can do the same with envy24control and setting the hw outs to spdif from the patchbay/router) If you don't know ecasound yet, try: arecord -D spdif_capture -f dat > test.wav Remember to set the clock input to spdif from envy24control->Hardware settings->Master clock->S/PDIF In, otherwise you get strange results or no sound at all. I have Audiophile 2496 and have successfully recorded through spdif, also together with analog inputs, but that needs more .asoundrc magic: pcm.2496_test { type plug ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.2.8 1 ttable.3.9 1 slave.pcm { type hw card 1 device 0 } } then: arecord -D 2496_test -c 4 -r 48000 -f S32_LE > test.wav gives you 4 channels.

[linux-audio-user] alsa rtc patch in 2.4.23?

by James Stone

I was wondering if anyone has patched the kernel with the rtc patch for alsa in 2.4.23? I have patched it on 2.4.20 but was wanting to upgrade the kernel and 2.6.0 seems a little unsupported audio-wise at the moment. Any success stories and howtos would be appreciated. James

[linux-audio-user] Kernels, and disk I/O

by Anahata

Hi While all the excited chat is about the shiny new kernel 2.6.0, I have a 2.4.x question: I used 2.4.18 until recently, when I found that a disk I/O scheduling problem (lack of responsiveness while writing backups to an optical disk) was solved by upgrading to 2.4.20. Now I find that recording audio on 2.4.20 is useless, with long droputs in the recorded sound. I'm sure this is related to the way the system periodically dozes off for a few seconds (not echoing console input) while it does some disk intensive work. Rebooting 2.4.18 restored audio sanity, fortunately. The kernel has no low-latency patches applied. The sound system is M-Audio DIO2448 + OSS drivers Hard disk is standard IDE, tuned with hdparm Distro is Debian 3.0 with quite a lot of "testing" packages installed. Base H/W 800MHz Duron + 256M RAM. This does seem to be related to the disk I/O scheduling change, or possibly virtual memory Is there a kernel guru who can advise? Possible options seem to be: 1. Apply low latency patches 2. Upgrade to 2.4.22 3. Upgrade to 2.6.0 4. something else? -- Anahata anahata(a)treewind.co.uk Tel: 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827

Are you sure it's not a problem with the card itself? Have you tested it with a different box, maybe on a Windows or on a ccrma Redhat system? M
