[linux-audio-user] Which new digi-card for my linux box?

by Jackson Gibbs

Hey folks, I need to digitally transfer DAT's to my Linux box via a SPDIF coax cable. I'm wondering what the path of least resistance would be for getting this set up? I currently run Red Hat 8. I have a Zoltrix Nightengale Pro installed (which I understand is a CMedia 8738 chip?). I have put 3 hours of searching and tinkering into getting the Zoltrix card to work but haven't had any luck. So now I'm wondering whether there is another distro/card combination that will come closer to working out of the box? If not, does anyone have any advice for getting the Zoltrix card working? I'd sure appreciate any help. This is the last windoze task that I haven't been able to replicate on Linux. As soon as it can be accomplished I can format that WinXP drive and have more space for music ;-) -Jackson Gibbs

Re: [linux-audio-user] Koan/Generative music for Linux

by Gavin Stevens

(De-lurk mode) KeyKit is still going strong. Indeed it has been "software of the month" during November at the CNFractal Music Forum at Yahoo Groups. One other suggestion would be to try the Atari emulator XSteem. I understand that the latest version of XSteem has MIDI support. Sadly, I haven't had time to try it on my Linux box yet & have stuck with the Windows version "Steem". If you could get XSteem working, it would open up a whole universe of generative apps that were originally written for Atari ST. http://www.blimey.strayduck.com/index.htm is the Steem site.

[linux-audio-user] Koan / Generative music for Linux

by Aidan Mark Humphreys

Are there any serious generative music programs for Linux? SSeyo's Koan Pro, is one of the most interesting, yet difficult to use, music programs to emerge in the past 10 years. Rather than recording and sequencing music, it generates compositions from seed concepts and probabilities. I know that there is a Koan plug-in player for Linux, but does anyone know of a Linux tool (or at least an OSS project) which aims to release a program that takes a similar approach to music generation as Koan Pro.

[linux-audio-user] 16 tracks at a time?

by Chris McDonald

I'm thinking of building a machine to record 16 tracks at a time. Basicly a linux based HD recorder. So my big question is, is linux up to the task of recording 16 or more tracks at once in sync? -- Chris McDonald Email: chris(a)swyers.ca Phone: 1-709-649-1406 (After 6 NST)

[linux-audio-user] ALSA support for ARC88?

by Florian Berger

Hi list members, this is another new member, so Hello to all. I´m using Linux at home but Win in my project studio, because it is built around a SEK´D ARC88 analog eight-channel full-duplex card. Unfortunately, this card is highlighted GREEN in the ALSA Soundcard Matrix *sigh*. So as I would love to run it under Linux - is there anyone out there working on a driver, does anyone have any experiences using this card, or who are the ones to turn to to possibly get driver support for this one...? Thank you very much, Florian Berger, Leipzig, Germany

[linux-audio-user] scheduling and playback automation

by Richard Green

I am new(ish) to this list so hello, been listen for a week or so. I am looking for a the type of software I found in at sharewaremusic.com for scheduling and automation of radio shows. There are a few options in the Windows category, but I have found nothing for Linux, and nothing GPLd. I am hoping that such software would be useful for running a stage productions audio sound effects, with the sound operatator reading the cues from an on-screen running sheet, and triggering the associated sound. He's the part I need most: If, becuase of the timings of cues, the asssociated sounds overlap, they should be mixed together and played back though the same output device. Audio samples would be fairly well prepared, but a simple way to set the overall playback level of an individual same would be ideal. Timing accuracy is not enormously important, so ability to work with a low latancy kernel is not necessarily a requirement. Do you know if such an thing exists for Linux? Thanks Richard

[linux-audio-user] Frontier WaveCenter

by Aidan Mark Humphreys

I have a Frontier Design "WaveCenter" card - an ISA card with essentially 2 ADAT light pipes, SPDIF in and out and three midi ports. Despite being very expensive Frontier never seemed interested in relasing W2K drivers. The card is listed as not-determined if supported under the Soundcard Matrix ALSA page. Does anyone have experience with the card. Any luck with Linux? Aidan

[linux-audio-user] ppc alsa audacity

by art moore

is anyone using the alsa drivers on powerpc? I've got them running, and I've got a few oss compatible apps to run, but I don't have a audio sequencer like audacity or ardour. I've installed audacity 1.1.1, but It just gives me static when I play audio. Is this an Endian issue or what? Art __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] DigiDesign 001 ASIO Driver released for Windows XP

by Mark Knecht

Hi, DigiDesign has recently released an ASIO driver for the 001. Is there any way this new driver could be of use in the Linux world? I'd dearly love to be able to make some use of this hardware, if even only the audio part. Do any smart programmer out there know of any way to use this? See what it's doing? Write our own based on what it does? Anything? Thanks, Mark
