Hi all! I'm still having XRUN difficulties when recording using MIDI input to a softsynth. Along with the "*** Alsa XRUN" error message, I also consistently get this message from a2j-midid:
[31mERROR: [0ma2j_process_incoming: threw away MIDI event - not reserved at time 13248047
Can anyone explain what this error means? I was advised that A2J-MIDI-Bridge might be better than using Jack's seq mode, and it seems to work fine as long as I'm not recording audio at the same time. I may be incorrectly suspecting A2J, but thought it might be worth asking about.
Thanks much.

Hi,
Audio Technology Magazine, issue 99, is requesting input as to:
"What pieces of audio gear have come out in the last 16 years that have
changed the way the game is played?"
for their 100th issue.
I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure Linux has changed the game pretty
significantly when it comes to running all the game changing audio gear.
Inputs should be sent to:
mark(a)audiotechnology.com.au
- Just saying... Whatever.
- Yo Momma, is sooo fat, her gravity causes tidal movement.

Hi,
apparently sndfile-waveform will drop channel 6 from a 6-channel input. Might be I'm missing something, of course. Robin, Erik?
See https://github.com/erikd/sndfile-tools/issues/20
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Wolfgang

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a new sound card for recording guitar. As most
recommendations I've seen on the Net are quite old (latest I could get
was from 2012), I'm asking here to get more current information :-)
My current setup is a V-Amp 2 connected through the headphones' output
and a stereo jack to the line-in input in my computer. It's got an AMD
Phenom 945, 12GB RAM and a built-in HDA Intel clone. It works, but it's
noisy and I think it distorts sound when I pump up the volume. I've also
tried a Behringer UCG-102, but it adds a hefty amount of latency (60-70
ms as measured by qjackctl).
I'm not searching for anything "pro", just something cheap (<150€) to
play and sometimes record at home. I wouldn't mind a PCI/PCIe card,
though I worry that two or three years from now computers stop carrying
PCI slots and I have to get rid of it. Searching for USB compatible
devices, I've seen the Shappire 2i2, but reports of it working on Linux
are mixed. A pity, because it sure looks good :-)
So, based on this, what would you recommend?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
I am pleased to announce that a new version of aubio, 0.4.0, has been released.
aubio is a library of functions to perform audio feature extractions such as:
- note onset detection
- pitch detection
- beat tracking
- MFCC computation
- spectral descriptors
The core library, written in C, focuses on speed and portability. It is known
to run on most modern operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X, Windows,
Android, and iOS.
A new python module, rewritten from scratch, gives access to the features of
aubio's core library from within Python. Tightly integrated with Python NumPy,
the aubio python module provides an efficient way to extract features from
audio streams as well as to design new algorithms.

Hello everyone!
Here is the serious piece of electronic music. Rather more depressive than I
would have predicted.
First though I have to express my gratitude to Alison Utter for the sweet
vocals, that she has supplied. Thanks! And then we have the links:
http://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.ogghttp://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.mp3
And the lyrics:

Or you can access it all from the music page:

Now about that song: technically speaking I used a lot of Midish and Nama.
And for the first time I really came to appreciate Ecasound's LV2-support. So
also a big thanks to Jeremy Salwen, who contributed that feature!
Musically, this is a mixture of different influences. I'm still not sure, if
it should be categorised as pop or electronica. there's some dubstep in this,
as well as some hiphop - in German! :-) - and some basic depressive pop. As to
instruments used: almost everything I have at my disposal. In software I only
used LinuxSampler for the Solina sample. Thanks to the friend, who made a
present of it to me! It's a versatile instrument!
This latest experiment concluded, I will just lean back and relax. As ever:
feedback is very welcome!
Warm regards and enjoy
Julien
