[linux-audio-user] [ANN] JACK Rack 1.3.0

by Bob Ham

Hi all, New stuff. Good. * you can now use plugins with unequal numbers of input and output ports. any excess ports get exposed as extra jack ports with names like "amplif_1-1_i2", of the form "<shortened plugin name>_<rack position>-<plugin copy>_{i,o}<port>" * wet/dry controls for the output of each plugin * logarithmic controls * much more resilient file loader http://pkl.net/~node/jack-rack.html Bob -- Bob Ham <rah(a)bash.sh>

[linux-audio-user] guitar effects, distortion, amp simulation

by Raoul Bönisch

Hello! I connect my active guitar directly to my soundcard line in plug and get a great clean guitar sound. This way I can easily apply nice effects to the guitar sound. I haven't found a really great distortion effect though. Does anybody know where to get one? On http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html and http://www.ladspa.org/cmt there are some distortion effects, but I can't manage to get a great sound with them. Perhaps somebody knows the proper plugin parameters to use? The sound may not be really great because I don't use any amplifier or box simulation. How exactly do these simulations work? Where can I get them for Linux? If at all possible in form of a LADSPA plugin. Thanks for your help. ra

[linux-audio-user] ALSA Modules show status (autoclean)?

by Al Oomens

When my system first boots, alls the sound modules show (from lsmod) status of (autoclean). What causes this? I can run 'alsasound stop' and then 'alsasound start' and they are loaded fine and sound works. Also, the mixer module alsways seems to show as (autoclean) and 'unused', and I cannot use the graphical mixer to set levels etc. Any suggestions? Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam? Get advanced junk mail protection with MSN 8. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

[linux-audio-user] plugins not showing up in jack-rack

by jordan muscott

Greets all, Is there any reason why certain plugins don't show up in jack-rack? For example, neither gverb_1216.so or plate_1423.so from Steve's latest release show up in Jack Rack version 1.2. Thanks Jordan.

The Mother Board Manual states: "The K7SEM is installed with the economical high-performance SiS730S chipset..." Of course, it goes on with other specs, but I thought this would answer the question about if it was SiS. Just as a double-check (because the salesman told me that the manual refers to several different mother boards) I looked (in KDE) under "Information" ---> "PCI" and it says: "00.00.1 IDE Interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 IDE..." I appoligize for my lack of savy. Does this answer the VIA/SiS question? If so, do you have any other ideas of where I may need to investigate next? According to the article, I have the _exact_ Ultra ATA/133 PCI Adapter Card _and_ Hard Drive to acheive the highest speeds. The _Hard Drive's_ specs say: Buffer size: 8 MB Average seek time 9.1 MS DATA Transfer rate: 133 MBytes / sec (Ultra ATA/133) Rotational Speed: 7200 RPM So with the ATA/133 Card, the Hard Drive and (following) Hardware/Software specs, shouldn't this be enough to allow flawless multitrack recording: My Software/Hardware: SuSE 8.1 k7SEM Mother Board AMD Duron 1Ghz Processor 256 Megs Ram Soundblaster Live! 5.1 alsa Version 0.9.0.cvs20020903-13 (That's the Alsa that installed with SuSE 8.1 - It hasn't been altered in any way) If you remember, when I installed the card and then did: "hdparm -Tt /dev/dsp" the Timing buffered disk reads MB/sec were lower than before I installed it. So, if you think the card is a worth fooling with, do you have any idea why the Timing buffered disk reads were lower (and how to bring them up)?

[linux-audio-user] JACK 0.50 released

by Taybin Rutkin

Jack Audio Connection Kit 0.50.0 Released The Jack team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.50.0 of the Jack low-latency audio server. Jack allows applications to share data and audio devices in synchronous operation, and has already seen a year of hard testing and refinement. The API has stabilized for the foreseeable future, although backwards compatibility is not guaranteed. More information on Jack is available at the group's web site, [1]http://jackit.sourceforge.net/. Source packages for Jack 0.50.0 are available [2]here. What's new: * Audio block sizes are fixed during runtime so clients can have more efficient algorithms. * No partial blocks will be delivered. Again for efficient client algorithms. * Thread scheduling hidden from clients for better portability. * Cleanly compiles with gcc-3.3. * Works on 64-bit platforms Work is ongoing to improve transport control. Developers and users interested in Jack should sign up to [4]jackit-devel, our mailing list.

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] ALSA Patch Bay 0.5.0

by Bob Ham

Hi all, Now supports jack. It needs the patchbay-facilitating jack functions that are only in cvs atm, tho; there's been no tarball release with them yet. And yes, it's still called "ALSA" patchbay :) * added jack driver, also installing a jack-patch-bay link to alsa-patch-bay and a jack-patch-bay.desktop * added client subscriptions, similar to qjackconnect; press a read port twice http://pkl.net/~node/alsa-patch-bay.html Bob -- Bob Ham <rah(a)bash.sh>

[linux-audio-user] Interuptions While Recording

by linuxmedia4＠netscape.net

Greetings, I was having interruptions when recording with ecasound. Someone at the ecasound list suggested that it was because my Hard Drive was slow. I upgraded from a 5400 RPM Drive to a 7200 RPM Drive and it did help. The inturuptions are less often and shorter. They're usually just an occasional click, and at times can be about a half a second of silence (while recording). When I listen to the recording, at the spots where the interuptions happen, the parts are edited out. In other words, there is __no__ silence (in the file) where the interuptions happen, but it's as if someone just cut those parts out of the recording and pasted the remaining file together. I found several tutorials on hdparm on the internet. I used it to check my Hard Drive's capabilities and carefully made adjustments accordingly. Nothing worked. In fact most of the time the -Tt flag showed that the Timing buffered disk reads went down considerably. And, of course the interuptions kept happening. Here is the output of hdparm -Tt /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.97 seconds =131.96 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.35 seconds = 47.41 MB/sec Is this considered slow (when it comes to doing 16 bit 2 channel 44100 Multitrack Recording)? I did the command "dsmeg" and found the line: "SiS730 ATA 100 controller" And the Mother Board Manual says: "The PCI IDE also supports PIO Mode 3 and 4, UDMA33/66/100 IDE" Does this means it only capable of 100 MB/sec Data Transfer Rate? And does this even have much of a bearing on the interuptions I'm having? I installed an ATA/133 PCI Adapter Card and did the command hdparm -Tt /dev/hda and got the following output: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.95 seconds =134.74 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.19 seconds = 29.22 MB/sec I'm not sure why it produced lower numbers. This could be a configuration problem. But I'm not even sure if the card is nessesary. My Software/Hardware: SuSE 8.1 k7SEM Mother Board AMD Duron 1Ghz Processor 256 Megs Ram Soundblaster Live! 5.1 alsa Version 0.9.0.cvs20020903-13 (That's the Alsa that installed with SuSE 8.1 - It hasn't been altered in any way) Anyone have a clue how to stop these interuptions?
