You could try checking whether the PCI card is detected in the cases where the firmware is not loaded. It is PCI and not PCIe? Compare the output of lspci in the good vs. failing case and verify that the PCI card is detected, because the driver will never load and attempt to find the external interface if the PCI part of the interface is not detected. -- Chris Caudle

I made a thing (for ogg vorbis concatenation)

I made this one-off hack based on the vorbis lib sample code, for concatenating ogg files. The README has more details: http://github.com/kenrestivo/thrashcat That itch is now scratched; but others might find it useful too, so here it is. -ken

Dishonest marketing and the term "Open Source"

by Johannes Kroll

Hello all! Keith McMillen has marketed their QuNeo controller as "Open Source" on Kickstarter and other places (google "quneo open source"), while actually it is not "open source" for any reasonable definition of the term. Editor software source code, which is crucial for using the device with Linux, has only reluctantly been released to a closed group of beta testers. People are understandably disappointed. What do you think? The following is from Keith McMillen forum: http://forum.keithmcmillen.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=651&start=140#p9641 > Currently, the Linux version of the editor crashes when I try to > update presets. Of course, the source code for the editor still isn't > released and there is no officially supported Linux version, so I > don't expect this to be fixed any time soon.

Ardour: Taking out bits of a song

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello all, I have a project in Ardour which has much more iterations of verses than the fnal project wil have, for the sake of explorations, improvisations, etc. Is it practical to work on the structure itself or should I redo all the tracks from scratch with a new count of verses ? By 'practical' I mean are there tools and tricks that would make it easier to take out one verse made out of say, 7 tracks ? The project is in sync with the metronome, if it helps. I can see that it is possible to select one verse across all the tracks and then delete it. Since I do not know that much all that Ardour can do, I'm asking here if there are better ways to do that using specific Ardour commands that might be better to the task than selecting with a mouse on a finer-grained display of the tracks. Is it also possible to store a cut-out verse somewhere persistently to use it later ? - thanks for any comments and suggestions ! Cheers.

hdsp firmware load problem

by Iain Mott

Hi List, My system (with ubuntu 14.04) is loading the hdsp firmware for an RME Multiface only 50% of the time on start up. It's like flipping a coin. I've not been able to figure out how to fix it. I've saved the dmesg printout from a successful boot (good) and an unsuccessful (bad) here: http://reverberant.com/tmp/dmesg_good.txt http://reverberant.com/tmp/dmesg_bad.txt and the keyword to search for is "hammerfall". I was having trouble with the NVidia driver some time back and perhaps there's a conflict there but I don't know. If anyone can help - please do! Cheers, Iain

A new droning flac releases

by Louigi Verona

Anyone who wants flac, I added a couple of releases to bandcamp. They are not free (in fact, I am no longer allowed to release free albums, since bandcamp tries to have a balance and I've released too many free stuff). However, this is a good thing, since all of you who dreamed to send huge sums of money my way are now able to do just that. droning069 droning078 droning094: https://louigi.bandcamp.com/album/droning069-droning078-droning094 droning177: https://louigi.bandcamp.com/album/droning177 Thank you! -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.ru/

Lossy audio to lossless format

by Egor Sanin

Dear community, While not directly a linux related question, I am wondering about ultimately using linux tools for the possible solution, so: I get the feeling at times, when getting music from torrents and such, that not all files claiming to be flac are actually lossless. It seems that sometimes folks will take an mp3, reencode it in flac and distribute the result. Now the question is whether it is possible to analyze an audio file encoded in a lossless format and determine if it existed as a lossy file in a previous life? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Resource gains - lightweight Desktop vs KDE, Gnome

by Russell Hanaghan

Hi all, To refine the question a bit; Older laptops in this case... 1.6ghz - 2.2ghz dual core 64bit processors and their rough equivalents, running say, current KDE4 Ubuntu like environment, vs flux/blackbox <add ur choice here>, etc. anyone got any real results? Like, I want to record at 128/2 ... Can I run a softsynth or Jammin on top of a few live plugins running simultaneously kind of difference or ... The point I'm subtly pointing toward... Does the lightweight WM or DT really give me anymore power to do something useful?? The only user difference in experience, for the most part that I see, is losing the automated bells n kazoo's tht heavy desktops handle. Of course there's more but I'm just curious about case examples with something to back them up & not be centered wholly on opinion. ~ Russell

Netjack on Linux Mint 17 and Windows 7 with jackdmp 1.9.10

by Christoph Kuhr

Hi *, I wanted to use some VST plugin over network. I am trying to get netjack running. My Master is Linux Mint 17 x86_64 (192.168.0.10) running jackdmp 1.9.10. My Slave is a Windows 7 64Bit (192.168.0.30) running jackdmp 1.9.10. With jack_netsource running on the Linux Master, nothing happend at all. Neither with running jackd -dnet nor with jackd -dnetone on the Windows slave. With jack_net_master running on the Linux Master, I get the following error: "NetJack master can not be opened", when I execute the following command on the Windows slave: jackd.exe -R -S -d net -P8 -C8. In this scenario I capture the following UDP datagram with Wireshark: 192.168.0.30 225.3.19.154 UDP 686 Source port: igrid Destination port: igrid. What I found with goioglew, was not helpful yet. Has anyone some ideas, advice or web source? Regards, Ck
