Greetings,
I've built a new machine around an AMD FX6300 CPU, currently using the
packaged fan that came with the CPU. I'd like to replace it with a quiet
device, something like the Zalman fans I used with previous sockets.
Alas, the new design doesn't accommodate my old fan so I need some
advice. What's recommended in the ~$50(US) range ? It doesn't have to be
absolutely silent but quieter is better. Case is an Antec Sonata II, the
PSU is a Seasonic 650W unit, also very quiet.
I'm also looking for a replacement for my video card, currently an old
Gigabyte card with an nVidia 7600GS chipset, very outdated. I don't need
the cutting edge but I do need accelerated 3D graphics so nVidia is my
choice. Any recommended *fanless* boards in the $100-150 range ?
TIA!
Best,
dp

Hmm, not @ my puter right now, but didn't qjackctl have a preference setting about notifications?
Altho hermann's clicking on system tray icon sounds useful.
Glad to hear of another Debian Sid w/ XFCE user here. :)
I've get a new (used) mobo, and played with the kernel version to use.
So far I've tested all from 3.19.0-rc5 down to 3.4.104
Those, were rt-patches available I test as rt-kernel.
Best results, I only get with the 3.4 series, all later kernels
introduce Xruns here, sporadic, unrelated to the dsp load, even, when
just jack is running.
I build then all with the same configuration, play a bit with
configurations deselect hyper-threading on the latest kernels, use
threadedirqs, all to no avail. Only 3.4.xxx-rt kernel run absolute smooth.
So, which kernels with witch configuration do you all use?

​​Hi all,
Sorry for cross-posting. I just finished complete update to the old and
good Ardour FLOSS Manual from 2009. All new screenshots (Ardour 3.5.403),
and I updated the text wherever necessary:
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour3-floss-tutorial/
A few cosmetic changes still to be done, like removing the date from the
header of every post, but overall it's ready to use.
I'm using GitHub Pages, so it should be relatively easy for others to
contribute, fork, and remix the manual. In the near future I plan to add a
page explaining how to do so. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Bruno
Release 0.32.3 is out,

glitch and click free, preset switching and is full Midi (learn)
and remote (Web-interface/ GUI) controllable (bluez / avahi)
Changelog:
* fix some rc-style bugs for KDE Qtcurve engine
* add 2 new rc-styles (flat and green)
* replace old outdated factory presets
* add some new plugin presets
* add jack midi out port to report state (CC messages) and control
multiple instances with one interface
* set engine.mute to default midi controller 120 (All Sounds Off)
* add new command-line options -L start with Live Play GUI
and -M start with engine muted
* fix some issues with remote control GUI and external plugs

Thanks Brett,
So I guess it's not possible (at least easily) for now.

When creating a track with name 'elephant' and then recording onto it,
regions are created with variations of the name 'elephant' (1.1, 2.1, etc).
If there are several takes until I'm satisfied, several regions are
created, and easily accessible from the regions list (View -> show
editor list).
Then I discover that I actually recorded 'giraffe'. I change names of
tracks and regions to avoid confusion. Unfortunately the regions list
does not update names accordingly - there regions are still filed under
'elephant'.
Is there a way to update names in the region list?
When copying and moving regions around, multiple and more or less
identical regions appear in the regions list. Can identical regions
somehow be ignored?
Is it possible to use the regions list to navigate to that region in the
session?
And lastly, does anybody have tips for good workflows regarding regions
and the regions list?
Any and all input appreciated!

When exporting a session ardour (3.5) crashed and everything (Ubuntu
Studio 14.04) froze.
I had to open an "emergency terminal" (ctrl-alt-f#) to kill and reboot,
and didn't manage to copy the error message. Still I believe I can find
it in some logs, but where to find the log?
Oh, and when Ardour loaded the session after reboot it was with this
> [ERROR]: could not reconstitute MementoCommand from XMLNode. object
> type = ARDOUR::AutomationList id = 21170
I suspect the reason for the crash was that I tried to give the export
file a new name not already on disk.
This should probably be in the Ardour forums, I know. I intend to
register there at some later time...

To compare two versions of the same audio, the two versions must be level
matched to within 0.1dB. Differences of just a few tenths of a dB can
sometimes be heard as a slight timbre difference, usually the slightly
higher level version sounds just a tiny bit brighter. That requires
matching level to almost 1%, or if using consumer style levels of 2V RMS
max output, matching to within 20mV at max output.
It is difficult to verify at the analog outputs, but should be relatively
straightforward to compare separate files. Finding the right software to
display to that level of precision might be tricky, I'm not sure.
> I'm probably just fooling myself
That is a possibility, but it is a lot more likely that you are not
actually compensating exactly for the level change with your headphone
level control.
Even if you manage to adjust your headphone level control to within 0.1dB,
a lot of analog level controls can't necessarily hold to within 0.1dB over
time due to changes in the resistance with temperature, or mechanical
friction and spring effects that drag the contact back slightly after you
let go.

Everyone should read Bob Katz's original two part article on level and
metering recommendations:
http://www.digido.com/articles-and-demos12/13-bob-katz/22-level-practices-p…http://www.digido.com/how-to-make-better-recordings-part-2.html
tl;dr version: Use calibrated monitor levels and set the levels to sound
appropriate for the style of music you are mixing, like used for mixing
films.

In a stereo track I added a mono region.
This is only audible in the left channel and I'm not able to find out
how to make it output to both channels?
