[linux-audio-user] [ANN] TiMidity++ now on sourceforge

by Takashi Iwai

Hi, the development tree of the latest TiMidity++ was moved onto sourceforge now. http://sourceforge.net/projects/timidity/ there is a cvs branch, "R2_12_0_pre1b", which includes bunch of enhancement patches. the patches sent on the timidity developer ML (in japanese) are (occasionally) sync'ed with this tree. also, an english mailling list was opened for non-japanese-speaking developers and users: http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/timidity-talk hope many people have interest and join to this project. ciao, Takashi

[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

[linux-audio-user] LinuxSampler project back, seeking for developers, volounteers and enthusiasts !

by Benno Senoner

As promised, I'd like to revive the linux audio sampler I was working on about 2 years ago. I was forced to take a long pause (almost 2 years) from LAD stuff because I had to finish my CS degree before the retirement age. But speaking speaking with various developers on LAD there seems big interest for a high quality software sampler for Linux, especially one that can play samples from disk since there are now many huge sample libraries out that only work with samplers that can stream. (Halion, GIG). As some of you probably remember at that time, I wrote some proof-of-concept code that demonstrate that it is possibile to achieve sub-5msec latencies while streaming samples from disk under Linux given a lowlat enabled kernel. But my (and other's) vision is to write a sampler that is both efficient and offers flexible modulation and routing plus that it can interact with jack and other audio/midi sw present in your linux virtual studio setup. I was toying with the idea of using some sort of recompilation techniques where the user can graphically design the sampler's signal flow (routing, modulation, FXes etc) which in turns get translated into C code that get loaded as a .so file and executed within the sampler's main app. This would make up for a very flexible engine while retaining most of the speed of hard coded ones. I have set up a site and a mailinglist for the sampler at http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net Without the help of all you LAD geniuses LinuxSampler will not become the sampler I (and others) have in mind, so if you are interested to contribute code, ideas, designs or want to give advices because you have lots of experience with hardware samplers or windows/mac applications, with the please subscribe to the linuxsampler-devel mailing list at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel Since LinuxSampler will support JACK from the beginning, I hope that the jack core members sign up to the mailing list too in order to solve issues related to jack more quickly. PS: I suggest to go into planning mode for a while in order to sort out things a bit and lay out an elegant design concept in order to avoid the usual spaghetti code projects. thoughts ? cheers, Benno http://www.linuxaudiodev.org The Home Of Linux Audio Development

[linux-audio-user] cant record sounds...

by Christoph Rupp

Hi, i guess it's just a small thing but i don't find a solution. I try to record sound using sox/rec or gnome record (grecord) but all i get is noise; sometimes i can recognize the melody (i have attached a portable CD player to line-in), but most of it is just noise. The volume of line-in is set to 90, recording of line-in is switched on, and i can hear the sound of the CD player when line-in is not set to 'mute' (it's played in good quality, without noise). I have tried all different settings in grecord but it doesn't get better. What else can i do?? I have a VIA 686 on-board sound chip, no ALSA drivers, just OSS (as far as i know...). Linux 2.4.10 (SuSE 7.3). Thanks a lot... Chris ===== http://www.crupp.de __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

[linux-audio-user] linux/ xbox/ audio??

by matthew yee-king

I've just seen that linux is gettting quite advanced on the xbox... It occurred to me that these boxes might make nifty little DAWs. They look quite rugged and you could fit one in your bag. There isn't any information on this site: http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ regarding audio drivers heres some general xbox info i found: http://www.vanshardware.com/articles/2001/november/011116_Xbox/011116_Xbox.… no specifics on audio there either... anyone know any more? - matthew

[linux-audio-user] Meterbridge 0.0.6

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/meterbridge/ Added a correlation meter to the JellyFish, thanks to Ari Kauppi for pointing me to the maths. Its calculated using the non-parametric correlation function Tau, incase anyone cares. Changed the default meter type to PPM. Also added a simple osciloscope display. Hopefully this will be the last release for a while (unless there are any bugfixes). - Steve

So, simply upgrading my soundcard > from a £15 low end consumer-oriented unit to something costing 10 times the > price looks like getting me nothing. Or am I missing something? :-( Well, yes. ES1371 brings you 2ch in+out with max 48000Hz sampling rate, and 16bit sample resolution. Midiman 2496 on the other hands provides up to 96kHz sampling rate, 24bit sample resolution, 2ch in+out and digital in+out. Check the specs from manufacturer's site. And btw, I confused Audiophile with Delta44 (which I have, has 4ins + 4outs, no digital in/out). Both are based on the envy24 chipset, should perform equally well. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. >> - GUS MAX (this very, very old ISA-card can still beat a number of >> today's crappy chipsets...

Yup, I'll probably never get tired of the following slogan: "sb128 (ens1371) is the best creative card as it's the one they didn't make themselves". :) Ok, maybe the current SB cards are better, but I'll never forgive the company the disappointment their AWE64Gold caused me.

What should I be looking for? > How can I tell which will reduce the load on my computer and which will > increase the load? Is there any difference? Well, it depends on what you want to do. How many channels you need in and/or out, do you need high-quality recording, do you need digital ins/out, do you need hardware support for multi-open, etc, etc? I'm not a hardware expert so I can't answer to all these questions, but I can tell about the criteria I used when I selected my last card. My primary use is multitrack recording and mixing. I needed capability to record >2 channels, high-quality a/d and good support for low-latency and full-duplex. My choice was midiman delta44. It has 4 ins, an external a/d&a/d box (important for high-quality conversion), good ALSA drivers and wasn't too expensive (ie. a lot cheaper that the RME cards for instance). So far I've been very satisfied with this purchace. PS Let's cross-post to linux-audio-user. That and alsa-user are probably the best forums for this discussion. -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
