[linux-audio-user] Linux Audio Article in CM Special

by Natalia Rakowski

Hello - Just wanted to let everyone know that an article that I wrote about Linux Audio is in the current Special Issue of Computer Music magazine. It is Special Issue #6 - Get Professional. It came out in the U.K. on the 30th of October and should be making its way to the U.S. and other destinations soon. I would love to get feedback about this article directly at: soulsource(a)cox.net. I am doing my best to try to convince more music tech magazines to publish articles about Linux as a viable music OS -- so if you liked the article, please try to e-mail a note to the magazine saying so... Thanks everyone! -- N

[linux-audio-user] via8233 multiple ports

by Lean Fuglsang

Hello, I got an kt400 motherboard and lspci lists the following audiodevice: 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) The only output port that works is the green one (in the middle), the pink one to record works fine. I wan't to connect my stereo system at the same time I have headphones. How do I do this? That is, how do I enable my blue port? I am using linux-2.6.0-test8 with the alsadrivers from that kernel. -- Lean Fuglsang <lean(a)omnia.dk>

[linux-audio-user] ANNOUNCE: QSynth 0.0.1 - Qt interface to fluidsynth

by Chris Cannam

[This has been announced on LAA already, but I gather crossposts are expected.] We'd like to announce the first alpha release of QSynth, an attractive Qt front-end to fluidsynth. QSynth is brought to you by Rui Nuno Capela, developer of qjackctl, together with Richard Bown and Chris Cannam of the Rosegarden team. QSynth provides a simple front and configuration interface to the fluidsynth software synthesiser to allow persistent storage of fluidsynth configuration (and soundfonts) as well as providing visual feedback and front panel controls for software synthesiser parameters. QSynth can be used either as a standalone player or in conjunction with any compatible sequencers. For more details, screenshots, mailing list details and to download the source code please visit: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net Requirements are Qt3.1.1 and libfluidsynth. Please let us know how you get on with it! Chris

Re: [linux-audio-user] Silent Linux box article released

by Daniel James

> I wonder why > you did not develop the laptop idea further. They usually start > out much quieter than usual desktops. Well, apart from the fact that laptops have relatively poor ergonomics and are difficult to repair and upgrade, they are an expensive solution if you don't need portability. Also, most of my audio hardware requires a PCI slot. But the main reason was that I set out to build a completely silent machine, and because of the tightly packed electronics in a laptop a fan is typically required. These are usually very small fans producing a high pitched whine when the CPU is under load, which is exactly the kind of noise I was trying to avoid. Cheers Daniel

Hello, thanks THAC i have managed to make jack run smooth enough to take a step beyond mere experimenting with audio on Linux. I got muse 0.6 , ams, ZynaddSubFX and ardour Beta running ok but i miss a Sampler/Drummachine, since i fail to compile hydrogene i would be very thankfull for any hint towards Mandrake 9.1 - RPMs containing some Softsampler / Drumbox that can be jacked. best regards

[linux-audio-user] ecasound 2.3.1 released

by Kai Vehmanen

1. A short summary of changes Ecasound's emacs mode, ecasound.el, has been updated to version 0.8.3. Due to severe bugs found in the native Python ECI implementation, the C implementation has been again set as the default. Minor interoperability problems with older JACK releases and Ecasound have been fixed. A bug that caused builds against an external libreadline to fail, has been fixed. Also recording problems with the WinTv 401Dbx and other bt878-based devices have been fixed. This release is compatible with the upcoming alsa-lib-1.0 releases. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. --- 3. Changes since last release Full list of changes is available at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None. --- 5. Contributors Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes Mario Lang (ecasound.el updated to 0.8.3, doc typo fixes) Junichi Uekawa (ecasound makefile bug, doc generation using Hevea) Kai Vehmanen (various) Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) Hirendra Hindocha (2) -- recording problems with WinTv 401dbx, ecacontrol.py bugs Stefan Bundt (1) -- ecacontrol.py breaks under heavy load Dave Phillips (1) -- errors in EIAM help Junichi Uekawa (1) -- compability bug with older JACK versions --- 6.

[linux-audio-user] Zaurus users?

by iriXx

hi all... just wondering if there are any Zaurus users on the list - the older version not the new one... i've seen one in action and i know its got good media player facilities - some kind of xmms i seem to recall?... but im curious as to what else will run on it... thinking about getting one as a replacement to the laptop i thoroughly destroyed yesterday. dropped it from a bench, shattered screen and damaged motherboard. i'll be lucky if i get the data back. compaq armada's are flimsy things - if it had been the Dell i used to have, chances are it might have been salvagable.... thankx m~ -- |\ _,,,---,,_ ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ HTTP 503: Too Busy |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL .::. www.iriXx.org .::. www.copyleftmedia.org.uk .::. gnupg key ID: AEB7A31E

[linux-audio-user] Ann. Vstserver V0.2.8 and Ladspavst V0.1.5

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

These updates makes it possible to use windows vst plugins in linux applications getting very descent realtime performance. I have successfully ran vst plugins in ardour with 2.66 ms latency. Sources: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Linux Vst Compatibility Page http://80.61.20.184/vst/ Tutorial: http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/ Mandrake binaries: (not the latest versions (yet)) http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.1.html Vstserver 0.2.7 -> 0.2.8: ------------------------- -Added SCHED_FIFO priority and locking all mem (mlockall) to the processing thread. Can be used without being root by for example using the givertcap program by Tommi Ilmonen http://www.tml.hut.fi/~tilmonen/givertcap/ To turn off realtime priority, start the vstserver with either the "-NRT" or "--nonrealtime" flag. vst ladspa plugin v0.1.5 - stable ---------------------------------- -Fixed the worst nonrealtimeness for the default mode. When using realtime priority on the vstserver, it should not be necesarry to set LADSPAVST_RT to "1". --

[linux-audio-user] problem with sound-recorder / low volume

by Matthias Knelangen

hi, i tried sound-recorder 0.06 with the following command sound-recorder -c 2 -f -k x.wav and just linked my line-out to line-in. I could record sth but it had a volume so low that you could almost not hear it. As I've never done any recording, does anybody know how to adjust line-in volume thanks matze -- Matthias Knelangen matthias(a)knelangen.de ---------------------------------------------- Outside of a dog, a book's a man's best friend.
