Wow, harsh. As it should be. Both the music and the video capture the
emotion of the song very well. It feels very real. Always good to hear
"real" music. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Gianfranco
Oh yes, I love it. :-)
That seems to get a real interesting project which you guys have started
out there.
Congratulations and respect.

Hi :)
right now I'm testing Rakarrack. I already played Yoshimi by
guitar-to-MIDI, using Rakarrack's converter and it seems to be worth to
continue testing :).
Are there other pitch-to-MIDI converters available for Linux?
Are there any secret tricks, to improve the guitar-to-MIDI conversion?
$ pacman -Q guitarix-git
guitarix-git 20130507.2031-1
Regards,
Ralf

They are full height cards and the PCIe connector is close to the front.
Some of them have daughter boards/heatsinks on them. I am thinking they
are talking about some sort of restraining device for the back end of the
card as well. It would seem the the majority of the card weight is
unsupported even with the back bar screw installed. I have seen cases with
a support in this area (even in PCI days). Funny thing.. it was a rack
mount Proliant, not meant for travel.

Hi all! If this subject isn't wanted here, please forgive me and feel free to send me where it would be most appropriate. Or if this has already been discussed, please just let me know and I'll go through and look it up. I don't want to be a bother, but I appreciate any info you people could pass along.
I know the Mac isn't Linux based, but I understand it is somewhat Unix based. From what I've seen, some of the packages I could make and install (Perhaps that really means compile?) could be done in Mac. Can anyone give me some general info about when that might work and when it clearly won't? I only thought it might be nice to avoid switching back and forth from different operating systems, but I can and will if it just really isn't practical. I've just been seeing references in various packages to installing/compiling on both systems, and thought I could get a bit more basic info. As you can tell, my technical skills are still quite basic, but I've done enough of this before to have some success but get into a bit of trouble too. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks much.
Kevin
This is the first time I have seen this warning:
"Due to the reduced length of the PCI EXPRESS bus connector and the
resulting lack of mechanical stability, we strongly advise against
transporting cards installed in a computer, unless its chassis or case
provides a dedicated support to keep the card securely in place in order
to avoid physical damage."
I found this in the digigram manual for one of their audio cards. (these
might be audio cards to watch as ALSA support is growing. The LOLA series
is now supported)
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has had problems with this. It seems to
me there might be any number of mobile uses in audio work. Maybe the days
of the tower cases are over.
Speaking of PCIe audio cards, has anyone used the Audio Science audio
cards? Have comments? The company actively develops linux audio drivers
which are included in kernel source (must GPL?) Or the user can download
the latest source from their web site. They have up to 16 i/o per card and
support up to 4 cards in a system.
They seem a bit pricey for me, then I can't afford the audio interface I
have now any more... special needs kids are expensive. But compared to
other cards they don't seem over bad.

I was thinking of the return of horizontal cases, like the old desktop...
but on further thought, I realize lots of people would just turn them on
end anyway. Card support kits will probably show up though.
