Hey list!
So a local haunt I work at frequently doing any number of things, including sound, playing or sitting in for someone, maintenance, repairs, installs, etc. great little place in Placerville, CA.
I'm looking for input for these items directly (please go offline or start another thread if you want to talk about unrelated stuff);
Audio / video live streaming
- post mix audio to web interface with synced video.
-coverage of all in minimum of apps but some control over general mix (pgm) (master comp/EQ only if needed) and video basic adjust (contrast, luminance, phase, etc.
- network side bandwidth / bs quality ...min bandwidth / network management issues - MTU, adjust for max glitch less thruput.
Hoping to reach maybe 200 ppl via interwebs... Interactive chat - video return with possible audio availability.
As an aside, I'm starting a sound school at the premises in the new year. Guess what I'm gonna promote in the recording / PC sound management segment?! The ears prick up immediately in the circles I run in when I speak of totally NON reliance on proprietary ( spell - expensive ) OS and awesome audio apps!!
All ideas toward
Active examples would be awesome. Pls peeple... I don't want to be a jerk about
(on topic stuff - I'm prolly the last one who should speak ... Some of the stuff that comes up is just distracting for me personally. I come here for audio upon Linux info. Not lectures on how to behave or what my opinion should be! Hopefully, with as much tact intended as possible here, I speak not just for myself?)
I eagerly await technical
Ideas on this. Ty in advance. I'm really excited about this project and it's potential.
Cheers!

This is the first time posting to the mailing list, I appreciate any help that is given. I have a 2 soundcard configuration: An SB live and Gina from Echo audio. The Gina only provides audio, which is the main card I wish to use for routing my audio signals. The other card is an SB live intended for using the midi interface (MPU 401 or something to that effect), and to load a soundfont into the cards internal synthesizer. My question is, how do I use the SB live's soundfont synthesizer capabilities and route it to the Gina for audio playback. I'm using Jack and do not know how to do this. I'm wondering if it is even possible. I do not want to use the SB live's audio output jack just to hear the soundfont I loaded. I would like the Gina to handle all audio connections. Thank you again and I appreciate any help with this issue. Let me know if more information is needed.
Aw, snap!
Wait, there's no big deal (nor chromium's) cosmic (mis)alignment
being announced here now. Rest calm. Sorry to delude some of you :)
But, there's one (notable) leap on this tiny side and part of the
universe... (or is it a multiverse? move along...) What I really want to
tell is all about this happening and none else's freaking business:
Qtractor 0.6.4 (baryon throne beta) is released!
Release highlights:
* Punch-in/out over loop-recording/take modes (NEW)
* Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode (NEW)
* JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support (NEW)
* Custom style and color themes (NEW)
* Mixer strip multi-row layout (NEW)
* Muted audio tracks monitoring on playback (FIX)
* Clip fade-in/out resize on time-stretch (FIX)
As for the clueless (as if there's any):
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written
in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack
Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a
fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated
to the personal home-studio.
Well, although this being yet another milestone--if one may call it
that way--it also makes it official (yes, deeply engraved in stone) and
definitive as a migration to Git can be, as for source-code control and
management (it's a dirty job I know, but someone has to do it, right?).
Nevermind. It's done.
Meanwhile, please, don't ever hesitate to ask whether any of the
above does affect you some way or another. Or maybe anything else, yay?
Indeed, the puzzled you feel, the better :)

- Current assigned track/channel instrument definition names for MIDI
controllers, note keys, RPN and NRPN, are now in effect on the MIDI clip
editor drop-down lists, whether available.
- Clip/Take/Range... input dialog values are now properly sanitized as
long to prevent invalid take/folding ranges.
- Audio capture/export file type default now set to "wav".
- Extending punch-in/out over loop-recording/takes modes.
- Make audio tracks monitoring always flow while playback is rolling,
independently of their mute/solo state.
- Fixed undo/redo conversion of audio clip offsets under (automatic)
time-stretching eg. due on tempo changes. (ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks).
- Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode introduced (a request by
AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
- JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support is being seamlessly
introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Audio frame/MIDI time drift correction is now an option on
View/Options.../MIDI/Playback/Enable MIDI queue time drift correction.
- Transport auto-backward feature now honoring last position playback
was started.
- Introducing brand new application user preferences on
View/Options.../Display/Options/Custom style and color themes (eg.
"KXStudio", by Filipe Coelho aka. falkTX).
- Mixer widget gets automatic multi-row strip layout.
- Clip fade-in/out now follows time-stretch resizing, via
shift/ctrl+click and drag one of its edges.
- Fixed a typo causing FTBFS when VST plug-in support is explicitly
disabled (./configure --disable-vst).

Hello,
Apparently, the beta test has been expanded to include other plugins
(ACE, Bazille, Diva, Satin, Uhbik).
You can try them at http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=424953
They sound great !

Subject: [LAA] Port of U-HE synthesizers to Linux
To: linux-audio-announce(a)lists.linuxaudio.org
Hi,
Urs kindly offered me to port his plugins to Linux and we are now
starting some initial testing with Podolski, which is a free
synthesizer (free as in beer).
I invite you to download Podolski for Linux and participate in the
test at http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=419984&p=5869575
Thanks a lot, and I hop that you'll enjoy it!
Regards,

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Greetings,
Variations for solo sequenced piano :
https://soundcloud.com/davephillips69/piano-zero
A better-sounding FLAC-encoded version is also available :
http://linux-sound.org/audio/PianoZero.flac
This piece is a through-composed set of variations on an 8-note theme.
It's 32+ minutes long, not strictly tonal but not 12-tone either.
Probably not easy listening, so feel free to skip it if your tastes tend
more towards Yanni than to Cecil Taylor.
It's not currently wholly playable by a soloist. It's also not
completely polished, this version is a second draft uploaded for
comments. Notation to follow sometime next year.
Best,
dp
Hi
I'm having a blast with caustic (music environment for android, ios,
windows + more). It works fine through wine, but for better realtime
performance, I'd like to get it working with wineasio.
I have wineasio working with reaper, so I copied the dll.so from that
folder to .wine (freshly made, only used with caustic):
atte@skagen:~/.wine$ find | grep asio
./.winelib/wineasio.dll.so
I then registered it with:
atte@skagen:~/.wine$ regsvr32 .winelib/wineasio.dll.so
Successfully registered DLL .winelib/wineasio.dll.so
I have this in my ~/caustic/config:
atte@skagen:~$ cat ~/caustic/config
B ALLOW_SCREEN_ROTATION TRUE
I KEYBOARD_KEYSIZE_PORTRAIT 1
I KEYBOARD_KEYSIZE_LANDSCAPE 1
I PIANOROLL_KEYSIZE_PORTRAIT 1
I PIANOROLL_KEYSIZE_LANDSCAPE 2
B WHATS_NEW_310 FALSE
I INTERNAL_LATENCY 1
S SOUND_DRIVER ASIO
Still, caustic refuses to play, and right upon launch I get this in the
terminal that started caustic:
fixme:avrt:AvSetMmThreadCharacteristicsW (L"Audio",0xb7e9d8): stub
err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"wineasio.dll"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object
{48d0c522-bfcc-45cc-8b84-17f25f33e6e8} could be created for context 0x1
err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"wineasio.dll"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object
{48d0c522-bfcc-45cc-8b84-17f25f33e6e8} could be created for context 0x1
Any ideas how to get wineasio going?
NB: Although in a different .wine-folder, wineasio is runing really well
on my box(es), so I know it's possible with my combination of jack
version and wine version.
NB: Debian wheezy, if it matters...

I may perspectively run into a shortage of audio inputs and stumbled
across a blog, that reads like it is possbile to "merge" two soundcards
into one virtual, that eventually looks as a single one to alsa.
However, that blog does not mention jack.
Also, in an stone old ardour thread Paul Davis suggests to a similar
problem: ", then you simply get 2 digifaces", but again, this may have
been before the rise of jack.
And now I am wondering wether this is a possible or even reliable way to
trick jack into being able to to finally handle more than one soundcard,
if presented by alsa as being a single one.
I am honest, that asoundrc is way beyond me, as alsa alway has been,
thats why I am asking and I am thinking about using two ordinary, 1st
generation, pre HDSP, Hammerfall cards to expand ADAT IO. Would be
cheaper than investing into a raydat, when time has finally come.
The posts for reference:
http://soundofsyntax.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/how-to-configure-ubuntu-11-10…https://community.ardour.org/node/141
Any thoughts on this? Or won't it work with jack?
