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!

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

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.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
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.

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

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?
