Greetings
I've got just back on this list after a year of lurking and learning more
Linux. The audio software is developing amazingly, so I finally took the
plunge and ordered an RME Hammerfall DSP Digiface and a couple of Frontier
Tango24 A/D convertors, when I noticed a bargain at Turnkey in London (UK).
So I'll at last be entering a world of sound, to edit a few years worth of
DAT tapes, instead of sitting here in silence listening to my PC fans (well,
my CD player too!).
I'm running Debian on a few Pentium III 450MHz machines I've got here; I'd
been planning to get a dual Athlon system but decided to wait (forever? :)
until they are cool enough to run quietly. For the time being I just need
to edit stereo and 4-track recordings, so 450MHz should do.
I really welcome the advice you guys have poured into this list, and am
looking forward to joining in the banter, instead of sitting on the fence.

Hi there,
I bought a used emi 6|2m from Emagic. It has 6 inputs and 2 outputs. But
I found no linux-driver/kernel-module for that device. There is a kernel
module for the emi 2|6 but it does not work for the 6|2m.
Has someone experiences with that device under linux? Please tell me.
Thx,
Martin
Hi list
I remember leading somewhere over a year ago that the low latency patch
maybe was making it's way into the actual kernel, something about Linus
needed to approve it or something. Is this still underway?

I have a broadband connection for the next couple of weeks. I am in the process of downloading the CCRMA ISOs, so that I can do some music composition, sound editing and whatever else I discover. My primary interest at this point is in writing audio and midi based music with MusE/Rosegarden and then recording it, not necessarily in real time, to wav or another audio format.
Any suggestions as to what software I will wish I had downloaded after I am back at 56k? Audio samples are an obvious necessity. Other than the nskit drum samples, and the soundfont packages, what else might I want to look into? And what other categories of software would be useful?
Thanks,
Barton
hello,
i just wanted to say that, for years in a row, being subscribed to
the linux-audio-* lists has been a real pleasure. they are by far the
lists with the best signal/noise ratio, highest response rate, and
in general best atmosphere of all the lists i have been subscribed to,
even when [OT] issues cause some discussion. thank you all for your
contribution!

Try FluidSynth. It's a midi softsynth that loads SF2 font libraries. I think Timidity can load SF2 fonts as well, but I've only used it for GUS patch sets.
Hello,
I am looking for a good free soundfont to use with my SB Live! I've
been looking at the Hammersound page, but there are a lot of dead links,
and also several sfark files that may be good, but I don't think there
is a way to open sfark files under linux. Thanks for any suggestions
and links.

Hi.
I released ZynAddSubFX 1.4.2 on
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net
News:
- (small) tutorials
- added full-featured, advanced formantic
filters
- added mixer panel which lets you to see/change
most important part settings, and shows a vu-meters
for each part
- you can choose to process the instrument's kit
items only with one Part effect (eg. you can make a
instrument kit that contains a reverberated piano and
flanged strings)
- enabled to launch more instances in Jack
- when is launched first time, it searches for
default.bnk_zyn file into /usr/share/zynaddsubfx and
/usr/local/share/zynaddsubfx directories (useful for
binary packages for Linux distributions)
- bugfixes
For those that you don't know, ZynAddSubFX is a
poweful software synthsizer for Linux and Windows.
Paul.
