[linux-audio-user] building the dream Linux music box

by Kristofer Bergstrom

Hello everyone. I'm hoping to invest in a Linux-based (debian) system to do high-quality recording of live sources (mics, turntable mixer out, etc) and playback of multichannel (4 channel, maybe more someday) computer music. I have made music with CLM but am excited to try using Csound, as well as Ecasound and Ardour for recording and editing. I've been looking around and asking questions to vendors and have heard the following suggestion for hardware: a Hammerfall soundcard and an external ADI-8AE AD/DA converter. I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on such a setup. As far as I can tell, the ALSA drivers support this, although one vendor said that there are only drivers for the older Hammerfall card. Any thoughts on these things? Thank you very much in advance! Kris Bergstrom ____________________________________________________________________

[linux-audio-user] vsound considerations ...

by Benno Senoner

Hi, here is a mirror for vsound: http://www.xenoclast.org/vsound/ Anyway I don't think that an app that reroutes audio to disk can be regarded as illegal. If you think that way even a stereo patch cable must be outlawed since it allows you to make analogue copies of copyrighted works. <SARCASM ON> BTW: since JACK can route audio too, I expect it will soon be illegal too and jack's developers extradited to Australia and tried before and australian court. :-) <SARCASM OFF> cheers, Benno -- http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net Building a professional grade software sampler for Linux. Please help us designing and developing it.

[linux-audio-user] Vsound is no more

by Erik de Castro Lopo

Hi all, It is with regret that I have to inform you that I will not longer be maintaining Vsound. >From the web page ( http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/vsound/ ) October 27th, 2002 Although I have maintained vsound for nearly three years, I can no longer do so, nor can I continue to make it available from this web site. I live in Australia which has a law (Digital Agenda Bill 2000) which is similar to the DCMA in the US in that it makes the distribution of a devices for circumventing copyright protection illegal. I have neither the time, money or inclination to make myself a possible target for such legal action by companies with endless legal and financial resources. However, vsound is probaly available from other web sites. If you want a copy, you should search the web. Do not email me as I cannot and will not provide you with a copy. I will however continue working on other Linux audio software such as libsndfile and Secret Rabbit Code.

[linux-audio-user] new Debian user

by Laura Conrad

I just fixed my Mandrake RPM problems by installing Debian (woody). Right now, I don't have any sound apps working. What's the best way to go about it? I have an SB-Live soundcard, and need to be able to play MIDI files, and record sound. (Usually via timidity and ecasound, although I've used other apps as well.) Is compiling Alsa CVS the right thing to do, or is there something easy to do with apt-get that would get me going until I had something I really needed the Alsa CVS for? -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@laymusic.org , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] QJackConnect 0.0.1

by Dr. Matthias Nagorni

Hi, QJackConnect 0.0.1, a QT based patchbay for JACK, is available from http://www.suse.de/~mana/jack.html or ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mana/qjackconnect-0.0.1.tar.bz2 This is the first official release (some pre releases have been already in use, but they were based on a bad hack) and its published under GPL. Thanks to Kai Vehmanen for sending a patch which adapts QJackConnect to the current CVS of JACK and finally resolves the bad hack. I also wrote a small FM synthesizer which is both a (minimal) client to JACK and the ALSA sequenzer system. jack_miniFMsynth.c is available from the QJackConnect webpage as well. Have fun !

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] swh plugins v0.3.0

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.3.0/ Includes the most often requested thing, compressors. SC1 - mono in, mono out variable knee compressor SC2 - mono in, mono out variable knee compressor w/ permenantly wired sidechain. SC3 - stereo in, stereo out etc. with selectable sidechain. Many thanks to Mark K. for extensivly testing the algorithm. There are also a couple of new, very low level plugins, quality improvements on the gong and plate reverb, serious speed improvements on the valve plugin, and noticable, but not stunning improvements to various other things. Oh, and I finally fixed the prefix stuff in the configure.in. Its still broken for MacOS X, and I no long have access to a box, so if anyone fancies fixing the autoconf I can point you in the right direction. - Steve

[linux-audio-user] (REQ:) Linux live encoding

by mawali＠news.icns.com

Hi My and my friend are thinking of setting an open radio station. Only choice I have is linux (that is all I use). I am trying to find something that will do live encoding for me. All the content on the station will be non-copyrighted and royalty free and I want the software used to be that too. Please tell me what my options are, for live encoding, I will probably use ogg, since mp3 is not royalty free. Also is there any hardware that would do this encoding for me. If not, and the software is available. I might turn it into a dedicated blackbox for live encoding. Thanks

[linux-audio-user] All at the same time?

by Mark Knecht

Hi, Fundamental question - Does alsa support multiple applications generating audio all at the same time? Specifically, is it possible to run one or more OSS applications, with one or more Alsa applications, and jack enabled applications all at the same time? I think possibly not, but if not, is there some combination that does work, like 1 Alsa + all the jack apps, etc? Thanks very much, Mark
