Perhaps not everyone has heard of Scala yet, here's the homepage: http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala One remark: the Scala user interface may give the impression that OSS is supported, but it isn't yet. It will take me some more time to do that. But at least one can try the tunings with ZynAddSubFX now. Manuel

[linux-audio-user] Best CD Burners for DAE in Linux

by Terry Ewing

Hello, I've finally given up on cheap crap. I've come to realize that there is a point where I'm probably not going to need to burn a CDrom at a speed greater than 48x. I just don't care! Give me a 200 speed burner and I'll take the 48x for $10 cheaper. I've had an older HP burner finally die and I'm looking to replace it. I'm looking or some expert advice in getting the best one (not the cheapest, not the most features, but the best) CD Burner currently on the shelves of stores that I can use with Linux. I only burn a handful of CD's in a week but about 90% of the CD's I burn are audio CD's (not MP3's). I need to meet the following requirements: 1) Decent speed. 48x-24x-48x is about the range I'm looking for. If there is something faster than that I might take it. 2) Good Digital Audio Extraction speed. a 48x reader that extracts at 12x is unreasonable. 3) Good interaction with CDparanoia. This means that the -S speed setting should work (most drives ignore this) 4) No TOC skew. I doubt any recorder has TOC skew these days anyway. 5) Good interaction with CDRDAO to read-toc correctly and quickly with as few errors as possible 6) Good interaction with CDRDAO to write correctly and quickly with as few errors as possible. Burn-proof (or simlilar technology) is a must. CDRDAO must be able to utilize the burn proof tech in the drive. 7) Lower price wouldn't hurt, but isn't a big deal. If anyone can offer suggestions in the form of first hand experience, or pointers to good sources of info I'd appreciate it. FYI, If anyone is interested, I plan on doing the following: Use cdparanoia to grab the entire CD as one big wav file. Use cdrdao to make a TOC file from the CD. Use cdrdao to burn a copy with the wav file and the TOC. This will prevent any problems with silence between tracks on live albums and allow me to have a copy that CDDB/FreeDB can recognize. Write or find a simple shell script to take the .WAV file and .TOC and by starting and stopping at different points pass it through LAME to encode MP3's (one per track). Delete the .WAV and TOC after I've copied or MP3 encoded it as many ways as I see fit.

[linux-audio-user] Compilers

by Levi Burton

Greetings, I was curious what compiler versions people have had the best luck with. I am currently using: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113) I am considering upgrading via RPM to what appears to be 3.2 (gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm). Good idea? Bad Idea? Thanks! Levi

[linux-audio-user] The Open Music Resource Library - Licensing

by Darren Landrum

Hello, all! I hope everyone had a good holiday season. As for me, I was busy moving into a new house (I'm a first-time homeowner, which is scary), so I've not had a chance to do any more work on the library. That will change now, however, as I now have my cable modem back, and a new broadband router to boot. :) I can now set up my older AMD 750 as a development server... Eventually. So now, it's down to brass tacks. I figured before I start to work in earnest on the technical aspects of the OMRL, that a good subject to tackle would be the required licensing of the content uploaded to the site. In reviewing this subject over previous emails, here are the conclusions I came to: 1) Users should be free to download, use, and redistribute for no cost any and all loops, samples/sample sets, and patches. 2) Users should be free to use any loops, samples, and patches in their final musical works, regardless of whether that final work is free or for-profit. 3) Users will *not* be free to download any loops, samples, and patches (raw materials) to package up and sell on a for-profit basis. Basically, you can use anything from the OMRL in your final product and sell it (or give it away), but you cannot sell any of the content of the OMRL itself, for example, selling a loop library CD containing loops from the library. Does this make sense to everyone? Would this be an acceptable solution to the problem? Thank you for all of your help and support. Regards, Darren Landrum

[linux-audio-user] HDSP 9652 MIDI Timing

by Mark Knecht

Paul, I've done a bunch of work over the last few days with a problem I was experiencing using Rosegarden to play MIDI and then receive and record the audio from external sound sources in Ardour. First, yes, it really works, and actually works pretty nicely. Jack, Ardour and Rosegarden are all playing nicely together. However, I have found that: 1) There is a severe timing problem when using the HDSP MIDI interface under Linux. Over time the HDSP 9652 just gets further and further behind. 2) There is no problem with the HDSP MIDI interface under Windows. 3) Thee is no problem with the MidiMan 2x2 interface under Linux. The problem seems to be pretty clearly the way the Linux stack is using the HDSP 9652 MIDI interface. I'm guessing it's a driver problem, but I don't want to color the perception. I know it's a newer driver. How can we go about debugging this and getting it fixed? I can post mp3's of all these cases for people to hear if it is desirable. I have lots more technical data to relate once we decide how to go about solving the problem. Thanks in advance! The fact that I have all this software working as well as it is is a great accomplishment for me, and due to a lot of great programmers out there like you guys! Cheers, Mark

[linux-audio-user] 24bit 96khz cards that work well

by Brian Redfern

Well, I figured out that the culprit to my xrun problem wasn't my 533mghz processor, its my envy24 chipset based card, from the alsa wiki: "Many but not all users complain about sound glitches. This may be due to the cards being IRQ hungry. (VU meter interface?) -- Tobiah" Given that the evil envy24 chip is in a lot of cards out there, I'm wondering what cards people have had better results with? http://www.brianredfern.org

[linux-audio-user] What wave-editor to use for voice removal?

by Remco Poelstra

Hi, For a musical I've to remove the background choirs from a karaoke cd. The CD sounds like it's MIDI, and it's some simple music. I hope I can remove the choirs by overwriting them with other parts of the song that have the same instrumental parts. The problem is that I can't find a good editor to do so. I need some multitrack capabilty, to lay all the different parts on different tracks for easy editing. I need some form of volume-envelope/automation for smooth fading of the tracks (fade in/out plugins are not an option because I need to tweak it and that's difficult with plugins that work on selections). The obvious candidates like audacity and ardour don't work, because audacity has no markers, so I can't find back the positions from where I cut and ardour is too buggy to use. I've looked at linuxsound.at for editors, but most are still too much under development. I hope someone here can give me a good hint on what editor can be used. Perhaps I missed a feature in one editor that can help me? What editor would you choose? Thanks in advance, Remco Poelstra
