Fwd: Re: Ardour Version Question: 2 versus 3?

(I never paied attention that reply-to is not positionned by LAU...) Here's what I've been writing.

I'm one of these people. Actually, I've been using Ardour2 for many years, but I was OK to switch to A3, especially because I was lacking several things (for example the fact that MIDI bindings weren't recalled after closing the session). Still I use Ardour for audio recording only, I have other habits concerning MIDI, and feel in ease with the modular approach allowed by Jack, so it was not absolutely necessary for me to swtich to A3. I tried (and am always trying, by the way), but I've experienced many bugs, including the big ones around MIDI things (MIDI being un-editable, then MIDI files being lost, and so on), and finally, I kept on Ardour2 for the moment, because, once again, I don't need Ardour to care about the MIDI. As I work in a studio and also for audio-engineers schools, I prefer to have something which works reliably and that I trust in, than a more bleeding-edge soft, and as far as I've tried for now (but I must say I didn't try A3 for 4 monthes), it lead me to stay on A2. I use Debian, and use the stable version when it's about schools, for example. There is something else too. I'm not so keen of A3 GUI. It's not that far from A2, but I'd like the sobriety of A2, and, more precisely, I really don't like the way Zoom/Scrolling is done in A3, and I really miss the scroll bars (mightbe I can custom my preferences so that it looks like that, I didn't try) of A2. To end up, but that's not really an Ardour pb, much more my workflow problem, but I feel A3 quite less usable in i3wm, as you need to recall much more key bindings to be able to close the windows you've opened (i3 doesn't provide window decoration) as there is no "OK" nor "cancel". Well, that's my reasons. By that time, I would be sad not to have Ardour2 (still, I've not tried A4). (to be honest, for my own audio-engineering works, I use non-mixer / non-timeline, and sometimes ecasound) Cheers. Aurélien -- ORL AMMD - Freak & Free Arts Coo[r]p www.ammd.net - 095 234 72 48

qjackctl: disable baloon popups?

by IOhannes m zmoelnig

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 this is something that has annoyed me endlessly for years, and i still haven't found a solution. the issue is minor (that's why i haven't asked before), but annoying nevertheless. so: i'm using qjackctl with the "system tray icon" enabled. when i close the application window, qjackctl keeps running and is accessible via the system tray. cool. that's what i want. however, every single time i close the main qjackctl window, a balloon pops up in my notification area, telling me that the "program will keep running in the system tray" and how to really shut it down. the first time i read this, this information was informative (i suppose, it has been years). but no longer. i already know that the program will keep running. that's why i'm using the system tray. there's no need to tell me again and again (even within a single session!). there *must* be simple way to "not show this message again", without completely disabling tray notifications. but how? btw, this is on Debian/sid with xfce4. fgasdmr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU0eVfAAoJELZQGcR/ejb4SY0P/3NphEAkGRawvdm4espj7i1J CIIGtUFTyvsKwFXEqXtAdlHz3/mt9pv1H17LEWdIxOfJ+ziY5dOC1HbAnNSPXmte 91AGmrFCNC8uKSrvCx+kySJEiU4AbNaSY0g8ORKMvOuCPAdO//9qXFBcSRaPX5eb rT7xtGKK+NYTmFSiPIypjW0ttGabtIjJE+Pg8e674rep+Q63ovxPBTBzkVcvJt4J udTKPc8+V7vZvC0Q0y4/vwiih5l0+7RypNxuapm+KY8zSgSkGUc2Wug2XMPhaLid Zmej+Kn/72PZflC5p7uo9JOZkXcShO7SX6296oaFqhFdtxlkUxmggZf/D6eeIGhA 91bACU/+GVgfXE8QUXX0XaifvstBaEwUMdpLIB9lLhC6sdROpl6hHFz/JMJSJYqt pX0oFI1YNzaT65E0BzOfQa4yxuyNO4BoYZ/C7wg4WtSMd/zHaiK5z9K0nxh1ruDM 5BNgeYNtvQ++FO3V0/eVkOwqab6hdS8/MfLRbro/BmJbNsg4MTDUxHZiL1AzXhIz 6l/SbMsdExY3NgbDQiVmfoW6P9MGDrBO/7n6DZj6g7O5lmtEdR9jhPKpFN3ApJzr +yVkxrcppph9eNMMUtAWnXh+XBGuuvfdrhakHoAZIaDGa3P7f6GsBjufyrysKGT1 SRBESzDoiLj+5K3rCOYr =ertZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

How to send MIDI clock or Jack Transport over local network?

by Bruno Ruviaro

Hi all, I'm a bit stuck trying to figure this out... I want to run SooperLooper in several laptops (in a laptop orchestra context), and be able to sync them. The laptops will be connected to a local network (wifi, or possibly via ethernet). >From what I read, I could try doing this either with a MIDI clock, or with Jack Transport (via NetJack? Though I don't need to send any audio to/from laptops). I've installed Rui's QmidiNet and QmidiCtl, but when I try to start them, I get an error message (setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP): Invalid argument; socket(in): your kernel is probably missing multicast support. ). Are these the right tools for the job? How can I send a MIDI clock to several other laptops over a local network? Should I be trying NetJack instead? Any hints appreciated.... thanks! Bruno [*] I've ruled ou NetJack for Jack Transport sync, as it syncs all clients to one soundcard, where in my case each laptop will be playing with their own separate soundcard and speaker.

Alsa setup question

by hollundertee＠gmx.net

Hi there, I didn't have access to the LA-lists for a number of months now, and the list admin was not helpful. I subscribed with this crappy mail provider now and hope that it will work. Sorry for advertisement and other crap that might go along with it. I do have some trouble setting up alsa the way I want it. The machine is a laptop that I carry around and use at home. What I want to have: 1) If on the road, the internal card (PCH) should be the default. 2) If at home, the usb card (UA25) should be the default. I had this working rather reliably at some point, but it doesn't work anymore. I have the following in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to prevent race conditions on boot: options snd slots=snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel options snd_usb_audio index=0 options snd_hda_intel index=1 However, I experience weird things with /etc/asound.conf, it gets overwritten on every boot with garbage. This is what it looks like when I boot without external interface: defaults.ctl.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 When the external interface is plugged in on boot, it looks somewhat like this (off the top of my head): defaults.ctl.card 0 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.ctl.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 0 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 defaults.pcm.card 1 Obviously total garbage, and I have no idea what service tries to be smart here. Any ideas? At least ~/.asoundrc does not get overwritten. Also, is there a reliable way to do what I want? Right now I have this in my ~/.asoundrc, but it does not do what I want. I suspected that alsa would set the only device actually there as default, but it does not, so with this setup I have no sound on the road: defaults.ctl.card 0 defaults.pcm.card 0 Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, hollunder

Issues with esi midimate II

by Carlo Ascani

Hi all, after the last system upgrade (archlinux), my MIDI interface stopped working with jack. It is an ESI Midimate II (http://www.esi-audio.com/products/midimate2) This is the interface entry from /proc/asound/cards: 2 [II ]: USB-Audio - MIDIMATE II Egosys MIDIMATE II at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2.2, full speed This is the interface entry from lsusb: Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0a92:10c2 EGO SYStems, Inc. This is how I start jackd: $ jackd --realtime -d alsa -r 44100 -n 2 -p 1024 -d hw:0 The interface has worked fine until today. How can I debug this?

.asoundrc - Was: Alsa setup question

by Ralf Mardorf

A short comment to the original "Alsa setup question" thread: On Sat, 2 May 2015 17:11:05 +0200, hollundertee(a)gmx.net wrote: >that may work in combination with the static ID (not tested yet). >Without static ID it will fail, since it just picks the first one it >finds as default. That's the way I see it also. I don't want to capture your thread for something I want to know, so I started a new one. The new ".asoundrc" thread: Don't consider this as the fiftieth request regarding the RME issue I'm experiencing, I only want to know, if there definitively never is the need for an .asoundrc or any other config file, as long as just a single card should do it's job, or there aren't special needs, as the one Philipp has got. "Neither .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf is normally required. You should be able to play and record sound without either (assuming your mic and speakers are hooked up properly). If your system won't work without one, and you are running the most current version of ALSA, you probably should file a bug report." - http://alsa.opensrc.org/Asoundrc There _never_ is the need for an .asoundrc to get a single sound card working? As already mentioned a few times on this list, I never got ADAT 3 to 8 working for my HDSPe AIO. All the capture and playback ports [1] are also shown by qjackctl, but they don't provide an audio signal. Such an issue is unrelated to a missing .asoundrc or another configuration file (assumed mixer settings are correct ;)?

[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.6.2 - A fifth beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy, The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, aka. the 'gang of three' have bumped over another tiny notch: synthv1 [1], as one polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], as one drum-kit sampler, are now being released to the masses. Again ;) There's no big audible changes, if any at all, yet this fifth beta release is rather a probale bug fix drumkv1 LV2 on Ardour. Anyway, it's all gone as follows: - Sample file path mapping has been fixed for LV2 plugin state restoration, which were preventing Ardour to reload any of the saved session or preset sample files in particular (re. drumkv1 only). - Custom knob/dial behavior mode options are now introduced: linear and angular (aka. radial) as far to avoid abrupt changes on first mouse click (still the default behavior). - Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds. We're still available in dual form, as business as usual: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] instrument plug-in. Enough to tell, the Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later.
