Seems really cool.  (stupid?)question - how do i install io from live to my system?  also, io web page says that you can't make a live usb with unetbootin. this was the only way that I could make a live usb. maybe i missed something. dl'ing the rt version right now.
thanks

Hi all. I hope this hasn't already been covered, but I've been searching the internet and can't find answers yet.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 which came with PulseAudio. I chose Jack2 as I have a newer system, I believe with multi-processor support, and I understood it might cooperate with PulseAudio better. I use braille and speech for the screen reader, which is currently routed through PulseAudio. And I want to use Jack through the command line rather than through Qjackctl gui. I used to do this on my older Ubuntu system with Jack1, but things have changed quite a bit since then. Jack2, Jackdbus, and module-jackdbus-detect seem to be working. PulseAudio seems to be re-routing. I don't have Jack running at startup, as I always used to start it manually, and so I could re-start it when necessary. I currently start it with "jack_control start". When I do, "jack_lsp" shows jack ports, but my old friend jackctl.py won't show any ports or make connections. Running "jackd" as I used to seems to generate errors about not being able to start the server. I don't have specifics in front of me, but I can come back with them if it helps. I used to use ~/bin/j.ctl to start jack with the appropriate parameters I believe from ~.jackrc, but that looks as if it relies on something like jack.ctl which no longer exists.
So after all the details here, I'm wondering if I should have gone with Jack1 instead, and found some way of doing without PulseAudio, or if my current Jack2 needs to run without Dbus support, and whether I need a newer jackctl.py if one exists? Or are there other things I should be doing? I'm sorry, but I feel just a little lost here. I know just enough to be dangerous, but not quite enough to know how to fix it.
Thanks for any help. I'm sorry to be so long winded, but I thought the details might be necessary to know why I'm doing what I'm doing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again very much.

Hi,
I've not been active here for quite some time. So, I've tried something
simple to get my toe back in, as I need to distribute MIDI files to some
musician colleagues.
So, I've wired an old Yamaha 49-key keyboard into Fluidsynth using a
Textech MIDI to USB cable, and provided the aconnect command.
I have sound, but it's about 300 ms latent--effectively unusable.
Fluid synth did complain: "Failed to pin the sample data to RAM." Could
that possibly explain this much latency?
I'm loading Fluidsynth for alsa_seq because I don't believe I need the
complexity of jack just yet. But, might jack do better?
Any suggestions most appreciated.

Sports a Ubuntu logo, but it is not available from any of the Ubuntu
repos... or even on USC... where you can buy closed stuff. The web page
has a download button... right below that there is a system requirements
button which opens a window that talks about OSX and windows systems that
will run this software.
This seems to be a standard monolithic daw that has been ported to linux.
They advertise everything in one window... Somehow I think the idea of
external links via jack is not what they have in mind.
Still, The SW seems to get bundled with various audio HW... So if the box
says linux on it, the buyer should know that it has been tested on linux.
(maybe)

Hi
I'm trying out crunchbang linux and really loving it so far.
Since it's based on debian the current kernel is 3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae. I
installed the 3.4.11-rt19 and 3.6.5-rt14 kernels I patched and rolled
myself under ubuntu (where they worked fine). However at least with one
of those my system crashed. So:
1) Are ubuntu kernels supposed to work under vanilla debian?
2) How new a diy rt kernel could I expect to get working reliably on
crunchbang?
3) What would people here recommend? Which kernel version/patches?
Regards

It works with jackdbus too. But when using jackdbus jack is supposed to do
that on it's own so you shouldn't need pasuspender. However, it doesn't
hurt and there were some versions of pulse that needed it. From 13.04 or
so it is fixed. If you use ubuntu, the fix is supposed to backported as
far as 12.04. I can never keep track what has and hasn't been done.

Hi,
Debian Multimedia packages are uploaded.
http://blends.debian.net/multimedia/tasks/
The contents show 'state-of-the-art-linuxaudio' from 2 yrs ago I think.
Suggestions for improvements are welcome.
