[linux-audio-user] How can I make CDDB info become the file name?

by Steven P. Ulrick

Hello, everyone :) I have been teaching myself to do all my work with extracting from and recording to CD's from the command line, using Red Hat Linux 8. I have been having excellent success, but there's one thing I haven't been able to figure out. Before posting this, I studied the man pages for cdrecord, cdparanoia, cdda2wav and lame, and I couldn't find what I was looking for, so here goes: is there any way that I can have the song titles that I download from CDDB be automatically made into the filenames of the tracks that I extract or encode? Example: I just ran cdda2wav -vall cddb=0 -D0,1,0 -B -Owav from the command line, and I got the following output (suitably clipped): Album title: 'Mansion Builder' [from 2nd Chapter Of Acts] Track 1: 'Rod And Staff' Track 2: 'Mansion Builder' Track 3: 'Ps. 93' Track 4: 'Gold In The Clouds' Track 5: 'I'll Give My Life Away' Track 6: 'Rainbow' Track 7: 'Well, Haven't You Heard' Track 8: 'Lightning Flash' Track 9: 'Starlight, Starbright' Track 10: 'Make My Life A Prayer To You' Track 11: 'Daydreamer' Later in the output, I got messages like these: track 1 'Rod And Staff' successfully recorded track 2 'Mansion Builder' successfully recorded track 3 'Ps. 93' successfully recorded Here are the file names relating to the above samples: audio_01.inf audio_01.wav audio_02.inf audio_02.wav audio_03.inf audio_03.wav Is there any way that, instead of the filenames being like those above, that I can just have them come out this way, so that I can save having to manually rename them if I want to make an mp3 cd (our DVD player displays the folder names and track titles on our TV :)): Mansion Builder - 2nd Chapter Of Acts.wav Ps. 93 - 2nd Chapter Of Acts.wav Rod And Staff - 2nd Chapter Of Acts.wav I just tried k3b, and it created a 2nd Chapter Of Acts/Mansion Builder folder, and it put the following automatically in it: Mansion Builder.wav Ps. 93.wav Rod And Staff.wav If anyone can enlighten me on how to do that from the command line, I would be very appreciative :). I don't care if I have to use a different command than I've been using, as I'm willing to learn :) Steven P. Ulrick

[linux-audio-user] Recording live audio

by Angel Gabriel

I would like to record live audio.... quality is not important, what is important is that it is a clear recording. It's a lecture recording, the only output that is avalible, is a monitor out, which comes straight from the mixing desk. Are there any recommedations, as to which application to use?? Thanks in advance. -- ***** Not everyone is touched by an Angel... ... Those that are, never forget the experience *****

[linux-audio-user] Devices in Audacity

by John Ouzts

I just did a fresh Gentoo 1.4 install in a new machine with an RME 96/8 PAD card, which uses the rme96 driver. System sounds now come to my hifi system through the rme card, so I think the driver is loading and working. I cannot get Audacity or Ardour to record, however. Audacity works fine in the same machine when using the monopolist's operating system, however. Running on that partition, Audacity finds 11 or 12 sound devices, the 8 RME channels and the builtin VIA sound chip devices. Under Linux, Audacity only finds /dev/dsp, and sometimes not that. How do I get Audacity to see other devices, or is that my problem? John

[linux-audio-user] Distro choice :)

by Vincent Touquet

Hi, I'm checking out my distro options for a Linux machine I will use to record music and do MIDI with. I'm mostly a Debian adept, so I was thinking of adding the demudi packages to my sources.list, but they seem a bit out of date (there is newer stuff in sid than in the demudi specific repositories ?). Planet CCRMA looks very promising, it even includes a low latency patched kernel :) (anyone having experience with this distro ?). Gentoo seems nice too, albeit maybe a bit harder to install. The most important thing is probably the availability of music related programs (packages). Aside from the distro question, which kernel do you prefer ? I know I need the low latency patches in here: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/schedlat.html, but aside from these patches, what should I definitely include in the kernel ? I guess the pre-emptible kernel patch too (the planet CCRMA distro has it). kind regards, Vincent PS: amyone got the link to Benno Sononer's (I hope I spell it right :) latencytest ?

[linux-audio-user] using rear out on sblive

by Lukas Degener

Hi list, Is there any way to configure alsa so that it supports the front and rear output of an sblive as seperate output devices? Or something similar? I read somewhere that it should be possible with oss. so of course alsa can do it? And on top of this, would it actualy be possible to have those outputs represented as four seperat channels within jack? Regards, Lukas

[linux-audio-user] Which soundcard to buy?

by Gunnar Schmi Dt

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, For updating the computer of my father I am looking for a sound card with SP/DIF input that is supported with Linux. My father is a flute teacher and he often records his concerts with a DAT recorder. Until recently he used an Atari Falcon in order to copy these material onto CDs. However, now he wants to switch to Linux. (He is more a Linux user, so all the administration stuff for his Linux box is done by me.) As the computer does not yet have an SP/DIF interface I will buy a soundcard which has such an interface (The DAT recorder uses optical cables). Our computer vendor suggested to buy a Creative Soundblaster Platinum. By browsing through the internet I found a Hoontech SoundTrack Digital XG which seems to have all needed features at a reasonable price. Are these two cards supported (inclusive the digital input)? Does anyone got some experiences with these cards? Do they allow the sound data to go unaltered to the hard disk (without sample rate conversion, mixing in analog input etc.)? Are there other cards that I should have a look on?

[linux-audio-user] Anyone able to run Csound in Linux in real-time?

by ico＠fuse.net

Hi all, I've been messing with Csound recently in order to see whether csound can be used well in real-time settings. The problem is that I tried icsound and the other csound (forget the source) and neither were able to output anything in real-time. I've used -o devaudio flag, also -W (for wave) output, and while my scorefile finished without any errors, I got no sound out. If I try to do <csound call> > /dev/dsp I get garbage sound since the header is all screwed up by the verbose output of the csound process. I am using latest ALSA and I compiled csound from scratch and still no luck. So, I was wondering if anyone had any luck running it in real-time. P.S. I've been also having a terrible time trying to compile externals in the icsound (i.e. OSCext and others). I get a huge number of errors and am not sure where the problems is stemming from. Any help is greatly appreciated! Ico
