For those of you who read Sound on Sound magazine, there is an introductory
feature on Linux and music that I wrote in the February issue. Richard Bown
and Steve Harris were interviewed for the piece, and there are also mentions
of Ardour and Audacity. The article is available on line, but to subscribers
only for the time being.

I don't know if this was covered on here before, but I just set up my new
terratec 24/96 and got my mixer outputting something (it's amazing what
hitting a few buttons will do)... so, to make sure it was working and enjoy
the setup I started playing a few mp3s/oggs. Well, at first I thought it was
just me, but indeed they sounded fast. Would there be some sampling thing I
haven't thought to fix to stop it from playing the output just a little too
fast?
Thanks
Jonathan
Hi,
IÂ’ve been trying to get 2 way voice over IP working. I have 2
LAN connected machines. IÂ’ve tested soundcards and speakers on both
machines with Alsamixer and all appears to be OK. IÂ’ve tried getting
TCP_talk working but with no success. It appears to compile ok(with a
little modification) and it appears to run OK but IÂ’m just not getting 2
way audio. Has anyone got any alternative applications that theyÂ’ve had
working or has anyone got any advice on this. Help much appreciated. IÂ’m
new to this!

Thanks a million Mark. It's been a long road to finally getting down to making music on my linux box. Your help allowed me to hit the last (big) hurdle. Of course, there will always be things I will be trying to improve. But now I can can record with jazz and can use the sequenced tracks to play live tracks along side of (using ecasound and timidiy).
Thanks again...
Rocco

Greetings,
O.K., I've read all I'm going to read. Now I need to ask you folks.
I installed Sound Blaster live 5.1 under SuSE 8.1. Everything seems
to work well except I can't record notes into Rosegarden or get RTSynth
to respond to to my Midi Keyboard. I can *play* midi files in any midi program but when I record (in Rosegarden) and look into the track, nothing was inputted.
In YaST (SuSE setup tool) it says to "pick the midi device you want to use". But the Window is empty. Also, in Rosegarden's Menu item:
Midi--> configure midi setup --> Record Device:
reads "(null device)" (and can't be changed).
These two items leads me to beleive that there's a module (or modules) to load.
I've spent days learning whole programs just to test if I'm getting anything out of my midi port. I've also read as much as I can about modules. But I'm still confused. Where do I start? I'm assuming that I
look if the right modules are loaded. But after days of reading (both offline and online), nothing comes right out and says what modules are supposed to be loaded.
Of course I'm assuming that there's a module that needs to be loaded. But I'm too new to this to know for sure.
Any help would be *very* appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rocco

http://plugin.org.uk/timemachine/ tarball, 100k.
Depends on SDL, SDL_image, jack and libsndfile.
I used to always keep a minidisc recorder in my studio running in a mode
where when you pressed record it wrote the last 10seconds of audio to the
disk and then caught up to realtime and kept recroding. The recorder died
and haven't been able to replace it, so this is a simple jack app to do
the same job. It has the advantage that it never clips and can be wired to
any part of the jack graph.
I've been using it to record occasional bursts of interesting noise from
jack apps feeding back into each other.
Usage: ./configure, make, make install, run jack_timemachine. Connect it
up with a patchbay app. To start recording click in the window. To stop
recording, click in the window.
It writes out 32bit float WAV files called tm-<time>.wav, where <time> is
the time the recording starts from.
The prebuffer time and number of channels are set in a macro, defaults are
10s and 2. It works on my machine, and I'l fix major bugs, but I don't
really have time to support another piece of software, so good luck :)
If anyone wants to maintain it, feel free.
May it preserve many interesting sounds for you,
Steve
Hi all. I have an on motherboard es1371 (which appears to be working
fine, although I'm not using it for audio). Can't seem to get the midi

Here's the skinny... relevant output of lsmod:

presumably snd-seq-oss is the /dev/sequencer compatability layer (which
I loaded explicitly). Neither playmidi nor rosegarden can seem to open
/dev/sequencer. playmidi error:
-------------------------------------------------
playmidi: No playback device found
------------------------------------------------
Do I misunderstand the setup? I am presuming that when I load
snd-seq-oss, that it redirects /dev/sequencer to and from the alsa
sequencer and the alsa sequencer is presumably hooked up to alsa
raw-midi which presumably points to the joystick port on the es1371. Is
this right (I'm not so sure -- count the occurences of the word
"presumably in the preceding ;) )? If so, does anyone have any idea why
it's not working?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Craig
Janez,
Here is a good one that I was reading when your message arrived in my inbox.
Enjoy,

Subject: [linux-audio-user] Which audio card to use?
Hay,
can someone tell me which audio card to choose or to point me to some
site where I can read about it.
I'd like to mix music. I.e. to build some kind of small home studio.
Thx

Hi-
I'm trying to get a usable midi sequencing setup, and I'm almost there.
All the software is from the Planet CCRMA on top of RH8.0, and
everything's working (thanks, Fernando, for your help). What I'm having
problems with now are the apps; I should add that I'm a newbie, so sorry
if these questions are in the fine manual...
Rosegarden (4-0.8-2)
Is it possible to change the note/voice used by the metronome?
Also, there's an echo when I play the keyboard-- is Rosegarden echoing
the midi input? How can I turn this off?
There's a tutorial that refers to the "studio", but I can't find it; is
this in a newer version? I'd like to set up the instrument definitions
for the Roland RD-600 (does anyone have a file of this?)
Muse (0.5.3b-2)
I can't seem to get it to record; I've tried following the online
directions, but without success. The UM-1S shows up in the list of midi
ports, and I make it recordable; I make the track recordable, and set a
range, double-click within it, and try recording-- nothing ever happens.
Are there other sequencing apps I should try out in this distribution?
Thanks!
-John
PS my configuration, if it addresses any questions above:
Hardware: Gateway laptop, p3@900MHz, with maestro3 sound and Roland
UM-1S usb midi, with a Roland RD-600 keyboard
Kernel, drivers etc from planet ccrma @home; low latency patch enabled
