[linux-audio-user] ESPS/xwaves source code made available

by D. Sen

I am sure some of you are aware that the ESPS source code (developed at Entropic before it was acquired by Micro$oft) has been made available to the public (http://www.speech.kth.se/esps/esps.zip). I am wondering if anyone has been able to compile the program on Linux. I am especially interested in xwaves which is still an invaluable tool for speech processing. DS.

[linux-audio-user] amplifiers

by Jim McCloskey

I hope you'll forgive me if I ask a *really* basic question. I'm running a mix of Debian stable and testing. Kernel 2.4.18. I have a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI sound-card. I'm using the OSS kernel drivers, but working up to switching to Alsa. I want to get better audio output---partially just for listening but also because I'm doing more and more recording. I don't do games. So for audio reproduction it's mainly a matter of DVD playing (opera and jazz mostly, some rock). I use Xine for DVD playback; I also use Ogg123 and Xmms for pure audio. So my very basic question is: how necessary or how advisable is it to put an amplifier between the audio output jack and the PC speakers? Has anyone got a recommendation for a good mid-range or mid-price amplifier that would make a noticeable difference? Thanks a lot for your time, Jim

RE: [linux-audio-user] amplifiers

by Lars Åslund

Jim, I´m using a M-Audio card (Audophile 2496) and a LINN Numerik external DAC for Audio playback.(in a ReadHat 7.3 box with ALSA drivers) very nice! It´s very important to have a good source like uncompressed music (or a good compression like flac or someting), good Soundcard, DAC is also very important. If you can get a nice Surround processor you will have a Sdif input, and if you Connect computer from your Digital out to spdif in, you probably get better result. And of cause, ordanary PC speaker is not that fun to listen at... Try to get a pair of used nice speakers, you get more music for less money.

[linux-audio-user] Echo Layla 24

by Christian Schoenebeck

Hi! Has anybody tested the Echo Layla 24? I'm searching for an external audio interface with low latency (for soft synths) and high audio quality (I'm tired of internal cards, buzzing or making stupid sounds when I'm moving the mouse or something) and of course it should support Linux. Layla catched my eye first, because you can also use it in conjunction with a laptop. That's very handy, although not that important. Any pros or contras? Or can anybody recommend another device that matches these criterias? And whatabout DSP functionality? I read a while ago that there are interfaces which come with DSP chips. Is that useful? Or are they supported only by very few programs? Regards, Christian

[linux-audio-user] Free Music licenses: which to choose?

by Graham Percival

I'm finally ready (two months after I thought I'd be) to release some music under a GPL-type music license, but now I'm getting bogged down trying to decide which one to use. Unlike the free software community, which has two highly visible licenses (GPL and BSD), the free music community seems to have a number of licenses, with no clear popular choice. Although most (if not all) Free Music Licenses talk about "help build a common pool of creative expression that can be accessed and improved upon by all of society" (from the EFF's OAL), it's not clear that their licenses allow for that. AFAIK, I cannot combine music licensed under the OAL with music licensed under the Design Science License or Open Content License (except with express permission of the copyright holders, of course). This seems to result in a number of small ponds of artistic expression, rather than one big common pool. Is this a valid concern, or just a wild hypothesis? :) Does anybody have a favourite Free Music License? Right now I'm leaning towards the EFF's OAL, but I really don't like their idea that you should use (O) instead of (c). Two lists of Free Music Licenses: http://www.eff.org/IP/Open_licenses/licenseguide.html http://www.ram.org/ramblings/philosophy/fmp/formal_licenses.html Cheers, - Graham

RE: [linux-audio-user] New software synthesizer for Linux (free under GPL v. 2)

by mprims＠skynet.be

"If you want to use this program to make music that is against God and Jesus (like HeavyMetal, NewAge,..) STOP and think that you'll be judged someday by God Himself for causing many people to loose the Salvation and go to hell. This will happen, no matter if you'll use my program, else's program or anything else against Jesus's name. I wish to know that my work will be used to praise the name of Jesus." Could you be a bit more specific about the genres being against God and Jesus? I wouldn't want to end up in hell. And isn't this in contradiction with the GPL? mik Original Message: ----------------- From: Nasca Paul zynaddsubfx(a)yahoo.com Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 01:48:18 -0700 (PDT) To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu, linux-audio-dev(a)music.columbia.edu, linux-audio-announce(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: [linux-audio-user] New software synthesizer for Linux (free under GPL v. 2) Hi, I wrote a software syntesizer for Linux, it is available at http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx/ . It has many features including: polipohony, multi-timbral, microtonal capabilities, 2 synth engines, effects (system and insertion), user interface. I started this project on March 2002 and this is the first relase. I hope that you'll like it. Paul. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
