Hi,
I am looking for an external sound capturing device for my laptop.
All I need is one stereo recording interface, which my laptop does not
provide.
On searching the archive, I have shortlisted a few options:
1. MAudio MobilePre - 149$
2. MAudio Audiophile - 199$
3. Edirol UA20 - 169$
4. Edirol UA3D - 169$
The microphones I intend to use does require preamp. I guess its better to
provide preamp with external battery pack rather than the bus powered boxes
to minimise self noise. Please help me choose the best!
Thanks a lot for your time.
Rajdeep

Did anybody ever get a game such as QIII arena to work with an ice1712?
linux games seem to work with ALSA only by using the OSS emulation,
and they seem to want to access the card via mmap.
i wonder if i could get it to work with my delta66 via a clever
.asoundrc setup???

this should be a no-brainer for somebody here!
how can i get the libcdaudio plugin for XMMS to load an audio CD? when i
go to directory /cdrom in the player's file browser, i see subdirectory
cdrom0, but i can't get it to open the audio CD to play. a program like
workman recognizes the CD fine. only problem there is that i scrapped
the OSS drivers for the Alsa ones, so i get no sound! has anybody else
had this problem?

1. A short summary of changes
User-friendliness of 'jack_auto' and 'resample' audio
objects has been improved. Compile-time support added for
both JACK -0.50 and 0.60-. Python-only implementation of ECI
is now selected by default. Work-around included for a bug in
ALSA -0.9.1 that broke xrun handling for record and playback.
Lots of small bugs have been fixed in the build process.
The SIGFPE bug that occured on FreeBSD systems is now
fixed, as is the non-aligned access problem on Alphas.

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

Audio software for Linux!
Hi all,
I've just acquired the above card (using ice1712 chip) and I'm trying
to get the coaxial digital out working.
I have envy24control running and I'm playing an MP3 file. "HW Out 1"
and "HW Out 2" are sourced from "Digital Mix 1" and "Digital Mix 2"
and I can hear them on the headphone out. I have also routed "Digital
Mix 1" and "Digital Mix2" to "S/PDIF Out L" and "S/PDIF Out R" but I
don't seem to be getting any S/PDIF output signal.
Anybdy have any light to shed?
Thanks,
Erik

Hi all,
I have a feeling the answer for this is going to be quite simple and
make me feel silly, but:
Does anybody have a utility, script or commandline parameters for a way
to split up wavfiles based on a volume threshold?
It's common enough job - I need to split a single wavfile containing
multiple samples into lots of smaller wavs with the silence cropped out.
Any pointers?
cheers,
dave
Hello,
This worked before, maybe it will work again!
Does anyone have a copy of these programs they might like to swing my
way? I was very anxious to try them but unfortunately the web site seems
to be gone and there the software is no longer available. I used to own
several Juno's (and wish I hadn't sold them for crack money) and I
really missed my Juno-6 and 106 still. I had many hours of fun with
those synths.
Did it close because of copyright reasons or was it closed for some
other reason?
Hi all.
Sorry for the cross-posting. As promised, here are my attempts at building rythmaid ( http://rythmaidgui.sourceforge.net/ ) on my machines:
-with Mandrake 9.0 + cooker: rythmaid compile, but before it needed tse3 that needed kdemultimedia that didn't want timidity. So I gave up, un-installed tse3, kdemultimedia, re-installed timidity... but now timidity is silent. hmm, are programms alive? ~8P I will dig later with my timidity.cfg files.
-with redhat 8.0 + planet CCRMA audio packages: tse3 (0.2.5) should be removed and the 0.2.7 version from TSE web site should be installed. Then it's no problem to compile rythmaidgui.
Before running, one may want to launch a softsynth. Then, rythmaidgui can be launched in its own compile directory where it will find the Chords directory.
Some things should be noted: for now it's jazz oriented and there are only the drums and the bass. The chords must be existing in the Chords directory ("Cmaj7" works, "C" only doesn't , that's jazz, man). New chords can be defined too.
So it's an interesting program, with a clean gui, reminiscing of Bbox. The author wants to add some changes soon (more instruments, qt gui...). He was very kind answering my questions during my attempts.
regards
Guy CLO~

Hello All,
I have a few general questions for those people using DeMuDi,
- Which version are you using - woody or sid?
- Is anyone using a sid DeMuDi over a sarge (or even woody) base Debian?
- How much software are you replacing with upstream source balls or CVS
versions?
- How 'usable' is your setup - I doubt that many have a workhorse
solution, although there seem to be a few success stories on this list
and elsewhere, but is it still really just experimental (in the Debian
sense of the word)?
Thanks
Darren
