I'm always forgetting bout the plain text/html message thing!
hello all! :) thought I'd cross post this note I just sent to ardour-users
list:
-----------
hello - someone mentioned recently getting ardour to work with ADAT sync - I
think it was beta 8 and any alsa 1.0
I can't find the thread - anyway I'm wondering about that - anybody else
have success there?
I'm trying to do that very thing but I'm not having luck - don't know why
yet - I'm trying with:
ALSA 1.0blahblah.rc2
ardour 0.9beta9
sound card: RME HDSP 9652
ADAT source is actually an Emu Darwin
I set ardour's sync source to "ADAT" in the options window, and expect to be
able to play darwin and have ardour pick up, but no suck luck. I don't know
if I need to do something else. I also don't know if the sound card's ADAT
sync is supposedly working. I read something back in August about the ADAT
sync on the 9652 being troublesome...
anyone have any thoughts?
qjackctl has had some sort of session management feature in it for a couple releases now. I haven't used it, but it looks workable.

I've done that in the past, but its a bit fiddly and doesnt work well with
apps that append thier pid the the jack name - though yan can override
than on many.

I would like to know if there's a tool that will capture/record
streaming audio links.
An example is "Premiere Radio Networks" -- which appears to simply use
windows media player or real audio streams.
ie, pipe it to a raw file or something?

Hello
I have recently compiled and installed ecamegapedal v0.4.3 - [libecasound
2.3.0]. and I'm having some problems getting it to work right. I thought I'd
post my questions to this list as I'm assuming Kai Vehmanen subscribes to
this list as well.
First off, ecamegapedal is exactly what I am looking for - an easy way to turn
a computer into an effects box. Realtime reverb, delay, LAPSPA plugins...
Perfect.
My two problems:
First is that I'm getting a lot of backround distortion/ static. I can hear my
input signal fine and the selected effects work as they should. The level
meters are quite active when there is no signal input/ quiet passage and the
distortion is a low level buzzing/ static that is totally related to running
the program.
The other problem is periodically the computer totally locks up, GUI, mouse,
keyboard, everything freezes and I have to do a hard reset (no other program
that I've run seems to cause this on my computer but the computer is old and
flakey in other respects...).
I have tried:
Running as root- a little less distortion but not much difference.
Adding "default-audio-format=s16_le,2,22050,i" to my ~/.ecasound/ecasoundrc
file. This doesn't seem to change the static problem.
Anyway, be great if it worked better, thought I'd ask...
Thanks for any input,
Paul
Software details:
libecasound 2.3.0
gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
redhat 8.0, 2.4.18-14 kernel with ALSA 0.9.8 drivers
jack-audio-connection-kit-0.80.0 installed but not used
qt-3.0.5 installed
kernel is not low-latency (that I know of)
Hardware details:
Intel Pentium pro 200MHz, i440FX chipset
256MB RAM
Creative SB AWE64 ISA soundcard
signal source is an amplified microphone going into the line input of the
sound card
Hi people
Apologies for interrupting with a rather basic
question.
I'm a new subscriber with a fondness for Cooledit. I'm
not currently a Linux user but am considering getting
a new ibook and installing linux on that.
However I was wondering if anyone could suggest an
editor/multitrack with a similar interface with
Cooledit to ease the transition woes.
I found Audacity (the PC version) a little difficult
to
maneouvre for my purposes. My current working method
involves using several large audio files (say 10-20
min each) and many more smaller ones which I then
splice into smaller sections (anything from 1 second
to 3 mins).I then rearrange these sections in the
multitrack screen.
Someone suggested Sweep in the archives. Is there
anything else anyone would suggest to minimise the
transition pain?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I was poking around the Rosegarden-User list archives last night (looking
ofr an answer for an unrelated question) and saw a post from Sept. that
the jack transport code was commented out - the checkboxes are still in
the GUI, but they don't actually do anything yet. I assume that's still
the case since after fixing one of my problems I tried to use it as a
transport slave in Ardour and no joy.
I can't get muse to actually produce noise yet, so I can't comment on it.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a very simple way to have
session management is to have a script which connects all the neccessary
ports with jack_connect jack_disconnect?
I feel foolish that I haven't noticed this earlier and felt I should
share...

disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street.
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before

There could be any number of reasons for xruns. My first question would be, have you applied the capabilities patch to the kernel and compiled support into jack? Are you using a tmpfs file system for jack's FIFO? What version of jack are you using?

This card has a fixed buffer size and will only work with with the number of periods set to 8 or 32. When using the adat device, the only combinations that will work (with 32 bit word size) are "-p 256 -n 8" and "-p 64 and -n 32". You bump the period length up to 512 but only if you are in 16 bit mode.
