Hello
And very many thanks for all the c-port2000 answers, it's been some time that
I've encountered this friendly mailing list :-).
I'm looking for some simple software to accomplish the following:
- do realtime monitoring(VU) and mixing
- output mixed data for headphones-monitoring (using same card, I have the
infamous st-audio rig, on which I didn't manage to get _any_ of the MIDI
ports to work)
- optionally route some of the input channels trough LADSPA plugins
A Gtk+2 GUI would be much preferred to anything else.
Has anyone seen such a beast? If not, how does this sound:
- a jack client that will get the input data
- will do the mixing and drive the stuff trough ladspa
- output result using jack (this should be possible, only I skimmed trough
some jack-related docs, difficult to get handle on it)
- display VU/implement GUI for levels using GTK+ (2.x).
Does anyone see any architectural problems with this approach? I'd guess that
implementing mixing using a jackd plugin would be more efficient, but is it
worth it and how to connect the controls to the GUI?
ak.

its what ardour does, although ardour is stuck at GTK+ 1.2 for a while.

I'll try ardour of course, been putting off testing it for ages as it is :-).
But the screenshot above maybe demonstrates why I never thought of ardour
being "simple". Simple as in end-user-GUI that is. I'm sure it's just my
limitation though ;-).

Is GTK+ 2 planned at some stage? Based on the above screenshot it doesn't look
like a very trivial port.

its in between trivial and hard. a lot of the work has been done
already, but the hard part - moving from GTK+1's CList and CTree to GTK
+2's TreeView - has not even been looked at and it won't be trivial.

Ardour isn't a 'simple' application, however, if what you want to do with it
is simple then you'll only need to learn the basics. I have found the GUI
very useable and the app as a whole is very good with CPU and memory usage.
Don't let the apparent complexity put you off.

Lots of people just use ardour for this. Unfortunately it uses GTK 1.x
which is godawful ugly for anyone used to a modern desktop. The next
major version of Ardour will use GTK 2.x.
While we're on the topic, does anyone know if there's a gtk 2.x version
of (g)mplayer available? It's the only GTK 1.x app I still have to use
on a regular basis.

Did anyone ever open an ALSA bug for this (check for an existing one
first)?
