Hi folks,
I'm starting to think that the M-Audio Ozone is just the thing for me
since I want to play with both instrument recording and soft synths,
and I don't have much room to spare. Does anybody know how well this
gizmo works with Linux? Any details are appreciated!
Thanks,
-Nathan

So I got a bunch of samples lying around from my FruityLoops days, and I
want to make use of 'em. The catch is, they're not standard PCM encoded
WAV files. While they are waves, they use format '674f', and I can't
figure out exactly what it is. XMMS can play it, sox doesn't know what
to do with it, and I've grepped the crap out of libsndfile and
libaudiofile and haven't found reference to it. Anybody know anything
about this? I'm about to go through the XMMS sources, so my post here
might be premature, but any and all leads will be appreciated.
Peace,

You can only run configure at the top level of the Ardour source tree.
You don't want to know why this is true. Don't try to work around it.
Greetings all:
I am trying to learn about the LADSPA plugins. I have downloaded and
installed the ladspa_sdk, read the ladspa.h header file and read Dave
Phillips article on the O'Reilly network. I've also added the CMT plugin
library.
Okay, so I've got my plugins but I need some helping making them go. I don't
really understand how they work. I am trying to learn about them in a
console environment, that is to say just by themselves (if that is possible,
maybe that is part of the difficulty). I understand the basics of the C
language and the Linux operating system but most of the information I have
found seems to cover developing plugins and consequently goes right over my
head.
Lets say I wanted to use the sine.so plugin from the sample library to play
a continuos pitch from my sound card, how would I do that? I'm confused by
the need of an input file for this as I see the sine.so plugin as the
source. Can the output file be a dev file? How about using the ALSA hw
plugin hw:0,0 as the output, how would I do that? I've read the ALSA library
documentation about plugins and LADSPA but again it goes right over my head.
Anyway, I though I'd ask these questions to this list and see what came of
it. I'm using recent ALSA drivers, with a 2.2.20 kernel on a very old
computer (hence the desire to learn about the plugins from the console).
Thank you in advance for any consideration and advice.
Sincerely,
Paul

oh no! I mean SuperCollider the music language app. look at
http://www.audiosynth.com
and help make the linux port of SC server!
http://sourceforge.net/projects/supercollider/
as to my original point, it's mostly being summed up in the other
thread of mp3 vs. ogg etc...

originally, I wrote to respond to questions regarding a lack of
prebuilt tools, a small user base, etc. I was giving my perspective
as an educated, experienced studio and computer music user, but
coming from the professional and academic worlds wherein we all used
Macintosh. My point was that I was excited by the prospect of
learning morel, being on the cutting edge, being in the community of
Linux users, but that, even as an experienced user, I was finding it
very very difficult to make the transition, but I thought it might be
intersting to understand why I was learning linux. The philosophizing
came in the form of questions like: "is it a good thing or a bad
thing to be an elite group of users?" "do linux audio users want to
exist as part of a specifically educated group or to make it useable
by joe-reason user?" basically pointing out that when you become so
far inside a specific knowledge base it is sometimes hard to see how
opaque it may appear from outside --cf. improv or avant-garde music
cliques...
I was just poking the hornet's nest, as usual. please don't take this
sort of response as complaining! I am really happy with the available
sounds and software and you can expect a note somewhere on any
releases i make from now on that linux was used.

Hi all,
To be honest I'm posting this before investigating all possibilites
myself, but i'm fast approaching the 'hugely frustrated stage'.
How do I enable the spdif input on my audiophile 2496, please? A bit of
googling suggested I should change the line in
/usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf from
slave.channels 10
to
slave.channels 20
which should enable input (and disable output since you can't have both
at the same time on this card.) Correct?
I'm looking at the envy24control mixer settings, and I've unmuted the
spdif input channels and turned up the sliders, but no input is showing
on the meters. Is there anything else I should be doing? I haven't got
an .asoundrc, should I?
thanks, Jordan.
hi fellow linuxicians !
Is there any sequencer out there, that is able to control abstract musical
paramenters (simply numbers, so to speak :) for synth-systems like pd, beast
etc... there may be some fine midi sequencer, but sometimes note-on /offs on
a
32-grid just ain't enough to control something like grain-loop machine, or
whatever....
I'm having something in mind, what could be something like a OSC(open sound
control) sequencer...with programmable event/signal templates like /start or
/stop ... and nifty curve-based drawing tools, like those found in sequencer
with decent automation-handling (eg. logic,protools,...)
I'm just wondering if there's anything like that out there
or maybe a fitting (sequencer) develompent-library..
cheers !
jan.

thanks to all who read that missive and responded, very
interesting. lest you all think that i was complaining about the
state of linux audio, i assure you i was not. i had interpreted
earlier posts to be asking why more people weren't using linux audio
tools, so i gave an example of somebody who had been working in
another world and was moving into linux.
i love the process of learning new things, gotta keep the old
dog young, so for me learning more about how the hardware really
interacts with the software is an interesting puzzle to work through
--i feel the same way about writing code for supercollider. i don't
come from a background of writing code so the process of learning how
to do it is both frustrating and exciting --logic puzzles.
though not necessary, i should clarify my statements about
film and music industry media moving through macs, i meant mostly in
terms of recording (audio), editing and mixing (both video and
audio). certainly all the major visual-effect rendering has been cgi
-moving to almost all linux now. (though my friends at pixar imply
that there's some "upper management" pressure to sell renderman for
mac g5s...but then they'd actually have to man the phones for tech
support.. heh.)
the one thing that i can't reconcile yet is mr shirkey's post
about the other perspective: if you can't hack the pace then you
shouldn't be in the driver's seat.
i am definitely of two minds on this. one side says that,
yes, no compromise should be made by those who know how to make a
thing do what they want it to do simply to allow others do it as
well. in this way there can be major forward momentum in the growth
of a system, but it also makes an elite group of experts that must be
deferred to in order to be able to use their wisdom. this can have
deleterious effects upon the culture of the users, besides just
making some cache of coolness that comes with being "in the know"
(while appearing to be snobs from those that wish they could be in
the know themselves!) that is completely irrelevant to the real
situations, yet completely within human nature, wherein the
development must take long and winding routes to reach the majority
of the users who cannot "hack the pace", pun intended.
for myself, i see the allure of learning to stay on the
bleeding edge of technology and to make music from software that is
coming into being daily from a group of people who are likewise
inclined. i am one of those people who has to take a preset apart to
make something of their own before thinking that they are making
their own music. and while i would love to believe i am special
somehow for being that way, politically i think i am far too populist
to allow it to become elitism. so that part of me wants to make the
hard things get easier, perhaps.
ok, enough of this -

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

I have used Sonique2 (not the original sonique, that won't work).
It is a beta, but appears to work for my .ogg files.

hello all - is there a cd recorder that can record audio cds to an ide cd
recorder driver?
I have xcdroast, which doesn't seem to do audio - it has an option to play
audio files from the harddrive (and doesn't see my soundcard and I can't
figure out how to load audio files anyway - weird)
and I have of course the command line cdrecord - but that seems to only deal
with scsi drives - right?
hmmm
thanks!
