Re: [linux-audio-user] setting loop-points

Tobiah wrote: Nice. A couple of questions (as I'm new to CCRMA): 1) The website specifically mentions that only redhat is supported. Aren't those apt-get's related to apt-get from a redhat machine? 2) If not what are the line(s) I should ad to my sources.list? 3) Will it break my system by grabbing a lot of stuff from CCRMA? I'm still surprised to find that none of the sample editors I tried seems to support editing and saving of looppoints. This leads me to the following rant: Why would I need a bunch of editors (I have at least the following installed: audacity, rezound, gnusound, xwave, snd, kwave, gnoise, ecawave and sweep)???? I'd much rather have one that did it all, did it well and was stable and easy to upgrade (= is in the debian tree). This is of course due to the nature of OSS development: people start a new project because they miss something in the existing projects or simply because they like to code. Still however much I love linux, this is one of the drawbacks at least when doing audio work: there're too many small projects that take time to develop, maintain and for the user to set up and try out. If it wasn't for csound and abcm2ps (that I consider my main music applications, I spend about 99% of my music-generating-time in one of those) I wouldn't be nearly as happy about linux as an audio framework as I am now. I acknowledge that some people like to spend time configuring, hacking, testing etc, but for me it's about producing music, and the two mentioned applications let me to exactly that. I realize that there's not a lot that can be don about it, just needed to get it off my chest :-) -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk
