[LAU] OT: Advice on Linux-compatible printers

by david

Good evening! I have a Brother HL-L2300D. It claims to be able to do 600 or 1200dpi, but all attempts at printing to it using those resolutions fail (the printer light just blinks awhile but nothing prints). Other limitations of the printer: the driver is 32-bit only and doesn't work on my 64-bit system, even with 32-bit support installed. (Also, the Brother printer drivers offered for it are ancient.) Before this, we had a Canon photoprinter that worked fine but cost a fortune in ink. Before the Canon, we had an earlier Brother laser but it decided to leak toner all over the interior of the printer. The last working printer we had before that was an HP LJ4. Are there any other options that actually work with modern Linux? Thanks. I mostly work with scores and sorely miss being able to print them! -- David W.

[LAU] Piano prelude on a real grand

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, as I recently had the chance to play a Boesendorfer grandpiano at a friends place - and even record it -, I decided that this was too good an opportunity to miss for some Bach: https://youtu.be/LgXBgdL7-L4 BWV881A Prelude in F minor, Well-tempered Clavier, book II. Played on a 1973 Boesendorfer 170, recorded with a pair of Audio Line Design microphones in AB to a non-Linux machine, no processing of any kind. I imported the recording into Nama, did some comping and processing, since - the piano being a surprise - I had no time to practise. :) Enjoy and best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c We still move to a rhythm just like this We still dream of sharing our first kiss <3 (Britney Spears)

[LAU] Yoshimi V 2.0.2

by Will Godfrey

This is a minor update. It would appear that the best way to find user interface anomalies (and the more obscure bugs) is to write a user guide! Well, apart from fixes for said anomalies etc. in the 'doc' directory there is the partially completed new user guide. This is intended for more casual browsing and reminders. It is in the form of HTML pages with extensive cross-linking. It should display correctly on any browser that conforms to HTML4 or later. It also tries to be mobile friendly. However, it's very much work in progress, and doubtless there are still considerable 'speelig earas' :p At the same time, the original highly detailed PDF manual is mostly updated, and is now title 'Yoshimi Advanced reference Manual'. Mainly for test purposes, you can now start and stop notes from the command line, and even run a script with these in - although timing will be somewhat variable! You can also re-seed the random number generator. -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

[LAU] Hum pickup in DI boxes

by Bill Purvis

Not strictly a Linux problem, but I hope for advice. We're using a Behringer X32-Rack mixer for our church PA system. One of the inputs that we need is for people to plug in laptops - usually via the headphone socket into a Stagg dual DI box. We seem to get a lot of hum pickup on that, which I think is down to the proximity to the laptops. We have another identical DI box at the other end of the room which takes keyboard and bass and I've had no problems with that. Is there an alternative method we can try? We do raise the ground lift switch on the DI box, which reduces the hum somewhat but still get enough hum to be noticeable when nothing else is playing. I wondered if the matching transformers in the DI box are acting as pickups for the RF noise generated by the laptops. The mixer on EQ display with RTA shows noise across the audible spectrum, but most of the audible sound is mains hum.

[LAU] [music] remix/rearrangement: Spitting Ibex - Seeds of your sorrow

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I've done this remix for Lewitt audio's https://www.lewitt-audio.com mix/remix competition. They offered nicely recorded and unprocessed tracks of Spitting Ibex's Seeds of your sorrows. I only used the vocals and part of one guitar: https://youtu.be/gPqIs5Q9Ypk It's a progressive rock remix, going for the big symphonic sound. It uses LinuxSampler with the Salamander drumkit, free Gigatron (mellotron) library, Sampletekk/PMI's White grand piano and dulcimer from orchestral instruments, Yoshimi (for the pad), Fluidsynth with ndbass (naturally decaying bass guitar) soundfont, setBfree and Arturia MiniBrute 2s and Behringer Neutron for leads and arpeggios. Recorded and mixed in Midish and Nama. The competition is still open until June 16 (next Wednesday). I hope you enjoy it, feedback is welcome! :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c I saw your smile Stay with me a while <3 (Britney Spears)

[LAU] Multiple sound cards

by Alf Haakon Pietruszka Lund

Hello list! I am on (K)Ubuntu Studio 20.04) and needed a couple of extra in- and outputs, so I connected 2 USB audio interfaces to my computer (a FocusRite Scarlett 2i4 and an Edirol UA-25ex - they're old, but reliable devices). Through Studio Controls I set the Scarlett as master device and started Jack, then I experienced recording and playback with Ardour in (as far as I can hear) perfect sync. I was amazed at the ease of this setup and the problem-free routing of audio signals, so just for testing I split a stereo source recording one channel on each device to one stereo track in Ardour. To my ears, the sync is still perfect. However, from this article https://jackaudio.org/faq/multiple_devices.html it seems I have to expect sync problems over time unless I do some manual configuring using the alsa_in and alsa_out clients. Is this still valid?
