Dear LAU
Whenever I'm starting to get xruns, I do a quick ps aux|grep jack and
sure enough, in place of the usual
(...) /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:XStation,0 -r48000 -p512 -n3 -Xseq
I get a nasty
(...) /usr/bin/jackdbus auto
I' suspecting pulseaudio to launch it (I use 3.13.0-36-lowlatency
#63-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT) so I edited
/etc/pulse/default.pa
To comment out those lines
### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present
# .ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so
# .nofail
# load-module module-jackdbus-detect channels=2
# .fail
# .endif
But nope, at some point, jackdbus rears its ugly head.
Then I have to reboot :[ because just killing -9 it prevents the jack
server to start anew.
Questions
- What is wrong with jackdbus ?
- How can I prevent it from starting ?
Thanks

Hi,
My sound card is a Edirol UA-1000 that is supported by the module snd_ua101.
In the past, I have a master control in alsamixer. This sound card have a real master volume.
Now, this master control has disappears in alsamixer. I am in Ubuntu 14.04.
I don't want a soft volume in order to keep the sound quality.
I have only control on midi:
$ amixer
Simple mixer control 'MIDI Input Mode',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'High Load' 'Light Load'
Item0: 'High Load'
There is a way to recovered my Master volume ?
Thank you.

Hiho,
tonight is the next edition of the Creative Music Coding lab:
We welcome again all creative music coders at STEIM for an evening of
exchanging current work, problems and solutions - and music together.
More information:
http://steim.org/event/creative-music-coding-lab-14/
Entrance is free.
And let us know if you plan to join (just to get an idea of how many
seats, and how much coffee and tea we should prepare)!
sincerely,
Marije
Hi,
I've recently gotten my RME Multiface up and working quite
satisfactorally with current Linux kernels. I'm very happy, especially
as I had a long run of it not working for some reason I never teased
out.
So, I find I can aplay and arecord, and I can use ecasound, and a few
other cli tools.
But, I can't use mplayer. Am I the only one? Anyone else tried mplayer
on the Multiface?
For cli tools mplayer gives me the ability to pause, or move backwards
and forwards through the audio file. This is important to me because I
learn music these days by ear.
I know one can do this in the gui, but as a blind user the Linux gui
audio apps aren't particularly friendly in my experience. Besides, it's
so terribly simple, if rather imprecise, to use spacebar, left-arrow,
and right-arrow.
The error I get:
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 1536.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio:

Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=plughw=8.0'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

Exiting... (End of file)
Meanwhile, aplay and ecaplay have no problems. So, I thought I should
ask if anyone else has experienced this before reporting to mplayer
devs.
TIA

Greetings, everyone. I am doing some work "in fits and starts" on the
Yoshimi wiki, here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/wiki/Home/
The new page is the Overview:
https://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/wiki/an%20Overview
I am also working on an old-school "Links" page. If you have web-facing
recordings with some or all content generated using Yoshimi, please
shoot me some URLs; if you have any web sites discussing Yoshimi I'll
very much want those as well; and if there is a third category you can
think of, please do let me know.
I am interested in building a page to be called something like
"Innovations", which could contain some developer-thoughts of areas in
which Yoshimi shines brightest. I am definitely not the one to generate
or update the list of items, but I'd be very happy to format it for
friendly reading.
There are other pages in thought, including one called "Approaches to
Setup". Suggestions on this and all pages are definitely encouraged,
but I am not promising anything in particular except the above :-)

"Normal" is however we are right now!
Hi again,
what is currently the best (least jitter, reliable) way to bridge alsa
and jack midi?
The goal is rather simple, I want to be able to use my e-piano
(connected through USB) to play aeolus. Or rather allow a friend of
mine who actually knows how to play church organ to play it.
The keyboard shows up as alsa midi device while aeolus requires jack
midi input. It seems that aeolus can use alsa midi when run with the -A
option.
I got it to work somewhat using 'a2jmidi -e' but it turned out to be
rather unreliable. When I ran jack with a rather low latency setting
and got the first xrun a2jmidid crashed. Yes, xruns shouldn't happen
and there are some more thing I could do to avoid them, but programs
still shouldn't crash once an xrun occurs.
I also seem to remember that there's a better way to do this in the
meantime, however, the recently posted guide still only mentions
a2jmidid: http://lsn.ponderworthy.com/doku.php/audio_with_midi_on_linux
On a sidenote:
A rather funky thing that I noticed when playing with this is that
patchage (1.0.0) reliably segfaults as soon as I shut down aeolus
(0.9.0). I'm not sure which program is at fault, maybe one of you knows
so that I can file a proper bug report at the right place.
Regards,
Philipp
Hello all,
I would like to share this that I made. Any comments welcomed !
About the music, the recording, etc...
Although on youtube, there's no video, only audio:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqiJT17m1Xs
Recorded using Ardour, mixed using Jamin. Linux standard soundfounts
for congas, Yamaha grand and warm pad, using Qsynth. 2 Takamine
acoustic guitars. Acoustic bass guitar. Soundfount congas played using
the rubber pads of an Axiom 25 keyboard. Audio card is 1010LT, mic was
M-Audio Pulsar. Freeverb on acoustic guitars, Echo Delay on solo
guitar. Multiband EQ on all acoustic instruments.
Cheers.
Hi, since I've seen this problem mentioned here before, I just wanted to
give a heads up regarding this program I've recently discovered, tmsu.
It lets you tag files, and you can later use these tags in any program,
since it will create a virtual filesystem (using fuse), with directories
for tags and queries (like "show me all field recordings of stormy
weather done in 2013", provided of course you tagged the files with the
relevant information), all on the fly (to create a query you just
create a directory). It seems very nice for the task, very KISS, though
I have just played shortly with it
http://tmsu.org/
have fun,
renato
I'm trying to find some sound fonts/patch file sets to use with
programs like Timidity and to figure out what licenses they're
available under. Of course, there's the freepats collection (
http://freepats.zenvoid.org/ ). freepats-20060219.tar.bz2 has GNU
GPLv2 license. Am also looking for other collections with Free
licenses. I ran across timidity_tiny at
http://edge.beemulated.net/utils/index.php which looks really
interesting because it's lightweight. However, was unable to find a
license with it. Tracked earlier copies of the files down to
KDEMultimedia's kmidi which says the license on kmidi is GPLv2 or
later. With further checking, I found out many of the files were from
timidity_wow_samples.zip, timidity_drums_samples.zip,
timidity_base_samples.zip. One sample was from propats 3 collection.
Not finding much on licensing for any of those files. Does anyone
have suggestions for lightweight (or other) instrument
collections/patch files/soundfonts with Free licenses? Thanks.
