Hey hey,
I'd like to announce the release of Jeanny's Hits 1.0, a drum sample pack:
http://juliencoder.de/sound/jeannys_hits-1.0.zip
The sounds cover a variety of genres and needs, and certainly pack a punch. :)
The samples are sourced from Csound (Lawn kick 1/2, Lawn snare 1/2 and more)
as well as from analogue hardware instruments, including the Behringer RD-8
(analogue Roland TR-808 clone), the semi-modular Behringer Neutron and Aurturia
MiniBrute 2S as well as the Dave Smith Instruments (Sequential Circuits)
Prophet-12. the most extensively sampled is the RD-8 with different settings,
including a tuned kick over one octave. No digital post processing on that!
The samples are stored as WAV files, stereo, 16BIT, 48kHz and come with SFZ
wrappers to be easily loaded into many samplers. Almost all samples come with
round robin and/or velocity layers.
The analogue sounds were mostly edited within Csound and Nama using a mix of
LADSPA plugins.
Any donations are very much appreciated, if you can afford it and think the
collection is worth it. Find details on that in DONATION .
More info on sound groups (kits) and the simple SFZ files you can find in the
README file.
The pack is released under the GPL version 3, which should allow you to use it
within many different productions under a variety of commercial and
non-commercial licenses.
Best wishes and enjoy,
Jeanette

I have 2 ECHO Audiofire12 units.
They are in pristine condition and I just have no use for them. Linux audio
still supports firewire (I think), so they may be of use to someone.
If anyone is interested, you pay the shipping and duty. They are in the USA.

Hi,
I'm struggling with my jack setup again. I am running Devuan Chimaera
and the MB has a builtin sound chip (ALC887)
which works using just ALSA. I had an Audigy sound card, and Jack worked
OK with that. Longer term, I'll by using
a UDAC8 USB sound module, but it's not here at present, and I expected
to be able to simply switch the Jack output
device from the Audigy to the ALC877. I can play a test file through
ALSA (aplay test1.wav) which is OK, though
a bit low volume, but when I reconfigure jack to use it, I don;t get any
system output on QJackCtl, and jack-play
gives no sound, not surprising if there's no port to connect to.
Last resort is to put the Audigy card back in for now.

Hello all,
Since four days now, the melody I try to reproduce below is
haunting my brain. Don't know how i picked it up.
It's a popular classical piece which I have heard many times,
from the romantic period and as I remember it, for string
orchestra.
But I can't find out what it is. Tried some of the 'find a
melody' sites, no succes.
6/8 (or maybe 3/4)
- = continuation of previous note by 1/8
| A-- G#-- | A---- B | C-- B-- | Bb----- |
| Bb-- A-- | G----- | F-- G Bb A | Bb----- |
Can anyone identify this ??
Many thanks !

This sounds a bit like humdrum, a short of MusicXML alternative used by
musicologists to do statistical analysis of compositions.

Having sorted out my previous problem with Jack, I've got round to
trying to sort out the multi-channel outputs
via a MiniDSP UDAC-8. This is an 8-channel USB output device. I plugged
it in and it shows up with 'aplay -':

------------------------------
Going into QjackCtl and changing the output device to hw:UDAC8 and it
seems to work - jack restarts and the Graph
window now shows system with 8 playback channels. I then tried using
jack-play to play a short test .wav file
which works fine on the ALC877 but fails with the UDAC-8:
------------------------------------------
Cannot read socket fd = 8 err = Success
Cannot open jack-play-3712 client
CheckRes error
JackSocketClientChannel read fail
JackShmReadWritePtr1::~JackShmReadWritePtr1 - Init not done for -1,
skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1,
skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1,
skipping unlock
jack_client_open() failed: jack-play-3712
-------------------------------------------
I then tried using just alsa
aplay -D plughw:UDAC8
which works, while
aplay -D hw:UDAC8
fails with:
------------------------------
Playing WAVE 'test1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz,
Stereo
aplay: set_params:1349: Channels count non available
------------------------------
qjackctl only allows devices with hw:* and not plughw:* so that could be
something, though I don't
understand the internals of jack and alsa.
Anyone able to set me right and get this to work will win my undying
gratitude!
Bill

Doesn't ring a bell here, figuratively speaking. But maybe you can
find it via http://www.themefinder.org/ ?
I couldn't find it with themefinder though, but I'm not sure if I used
it correctly.
Thank you both for your suggestions. Having experimented further, I
find that, as I expected, the earpieces are completely inaudible when
they are not in my ear (they are just the little ear-bud type of
thing).
The default connections shown bu aJackCtl are:
System(capture) to qTractor and PulseAudio JACK Source
qTractor and PulseAudio JACK Sink to System(playback)
This seems about right, to me, I experimented with removing the
connections to/from PulseAudio, but this doesn't make any difference to
the problem I have been getting. I also experimented with muting
various things in Pavu, without any success.
So either I am doing something very basic completely wrongly (quite
likely!), or perhaps there is some sort of crossover going on in my
sound card between input and output.
I did attempt to repeat my experimental recording on my desktop
computer, but couldn't figure out how to get the input from my webcam's
microphone into qTractor. When I start Jack, the System(capture) node
doesn't appear in the connections graph at all.
