Hi there. Does anybody have a step by step on how to
get a little
Steinberg USB MIDI 2 (2 ins 2 outs, little blueish box) running with red
hat 9? I have installed the planet ccrma alsa stuff, along with the
audio stuff. things are working to some degree (except I haven't been
able to record yet - but I'll wait to ask about that, when my real sound
card comes :) )
I haven't got a clue, basically. I'm pretty new. When I wanted a midi
interface to work in Cakewalk for DOS (that's right, that's what I was
using last) I just downloaded the driver, and copied the driver into a
file called driver.something - this apparently is not quite that
simple? (I have read the planet ccrma how to on usb interfaces - so far
nothing, and I was afraid the apt-get hotplug thing would flash firmware
onto my steinberg that wouldn't be right, considering the steinberg
isn't listed on their hardware list...
hotplug is so that your system can communicate with USB devices. If you
already have a usb device that is working you don't need to install it.
You should try using hte usb-audio driver and report what you get with
cat /proc/asound/devices
or cat /proc/asound/cards
If it is standards complient it should work out of the box. If it needs
firmware then Clemens Ladisch is your best bet. But he may be busy.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
