Hello everyone!
I've just got an analog to ADAT converter, but I'm having difficulties. Now
I wish to eliminate routing problems on the card. I can only do it in
alsamixer. So if someone has a similar card with an ADAT-input, I would very
much appreciate a description of your alsamixer output for the ADAT items, as
well as the DSP items for output. I'm not sure, how much those interact.
Warm regards
Julien

Hello,
I am a musician and recently joined this mailing list. I use Fedora18
and would like to use it to create music. I am having trouble getting
off the ground as I have not identified a USB Audio Interface that is
compatible with Fedora. I have visited the ALSA soundcard matrix wiki
and a number of forums in hopes of finding a device. Unfortunately many
of the models and makes talked about are a few years old now and,
frequently, are no longer available from distributors. I imagine a few
people on this list use some sort of soundcard to test/use all of the
great software that is being created for linux users.
I am inviting suggestions from people with experience in the application
of audio hardware in the fedora environment. I am looking for a device
that uses an independent power plug, connects with usb 2.0, and has both
MIDI and analogue inputs and outputs. A device similar to this would be
great:

Thanks and I look forward to offering feedback on software once I am up
and running.

Hi,
I have been using the US mainly for audio works and now planning to
leverage it for mixing BGMs for movies and quite not sure the techniques
involved in finalizing the audio and video (HD/SD) in to a DVD or similar
output formats for release.
Anybody out there would like to share some experience and tools available
for this?

Hello everyone!
Someone told me, that they were intending to get a pedalboard to trigger
keystrokes to control some commandline applications. And I've been wondering.
Does anyone have experience with that? A specific device and what about the
configuration tools for such tasks? I've been searching the web a little, but
unfortunately keyboard, pedalboard and the like are very ambiguous search
terms, so the results were rather unhelpful.
Any ideas would be welcome. Since I can't solder myself, I'd prefer prebuilt
solutions. I'm pretty sure, that this would be possible with Arduino based
solutions, but I'd rather not for a start. :-)
Warm regards
Julien

I notice there doesn't seem to be any Vestige package in Portage, not
even in the Pro-Audio overlay, but there is FST and VST-DSSI. What's
the typical way for Gentoo users to get VST support these days? Never
really cared before, but I'm think of checking it out now.
Also, I notice that compiling Ardour with VST support throws up a
warning about trying to enable it on a 64-bit host being an adventure of
sorts... Any common strategy amongst Gentoo folks for doing that?

As some of you may recall, every time I've posted a demo video to LAD, I've
had to include a disclaimer excusing the poor quality due to a lack of
functional screencasting tools.
Well, it took a couple of weeks of hair pulling and many, many hours of
testing, but I finally arrived at a solution.
Anyone who wants to create a screencast and record audio via JACK *in
perfect sync* must do the following:
Get ffmpeg. Apply this patch to it:
https://github.com/original-male/FFmpeg/commit/d02509d04d396a98646ca81e9ba3…
Build it with vorbis and h264 support.
Then, start your favorite desktop environment. I use Xephyr for this.
Have jack running (at -r 48000)
Then run the following command:
ffmpeg -fflags +genpts+igndts -f x11grab -vsync 0 -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i
:${DISPLAY}.+0,0 -vcodec h264 -f jack -ac 2 -r:a 48000 -i screencast
-acodec pcm_s16le -r:v 30 -vsync 2 -async 1 -map 0:0,1,0 -map 1:0 -preset
ultrafast -qp 0 "$FILE"
Where DISPLAY is the number of your X11 display and FILE is the filename
for the screencast. I use a .mkv extension for the matroska container.
Remember to connect the streams you want recorded to the 'screencast' JACK
inputs!
With this setup I'm able to record a full 30 FPS @ 1080P with audio in
perfect sync. Please share your results too. With some more evidence I
might have a good case to get ffmpeg to accept my patch.
Enjoy!
It's been a while since I did anything with linux audio, or even had much to do with music, but now I'm attempting to listen to music that has been recently released, and find it unlistenable.
The mastering! The compression! It burns!! It burns!!! Auugh, my ears!!
I mean, it's obviously distorted. I can hear the clipping. People are putting out released tracks that I can't listen to without getting a splitting headache.
Is there any such thing that I might be able to pipe into an ALSA or JACK setup, which would repair these broken tracks?
It's sad. It's like people are mastering for laptop speakers, cellphone speakers, or earbuds, and nothing else.
FWIW, as an example, I've just stumbled across the music of Amanda Palmer, downloaded her latest album, I think the music is great, or could be, but I can't listen to it because of the mastering.

Of course. But if the internal power supply isn't OK it will
generate hum.

You need to be more specific, nobody can help you otherwise.
The delta 1010lt has two mic inputs with XLR connectors.
Is it one of these you are using ? It is probably configured
for maximum gain and you need to change that. It's done using
jumpers on the card, see page 8 of the manual.
First try the setting marked '2A' in the manual. If you can't
get enough signal (by increasing the gain on the preamp) with
that, try '2'. If still not enough, try '1A'.
