Hey list,
I'm in a bit of dilemma here, my machine has only 1 GB of RAM and I'm
running linuxsampler, rakarrack and bristol with rosegarden sequencing all
of them together. As you can imagine, this does stretch my machine's
resources a fair bit, so I find myself needing to bounce-to-audio. Any
software out there that can do this relatively painlessly?
This might be a bug in Rosegarden (10.04.2) or my version of jackdmp
(1.9.6), but when I try to do it in Rosegarden, I found that the recorded
audio tends to record previously recorded wav files and other such oddities.
So I am looking for a relatively lightweight alternative or is this just a
case of 'Yep, just use ardour!'?
Thanks,
Andrew.

If simple recording is all you need, Ecasound, or one of the

If you want Ecasound with some added convenience features,
I'll put in a mention for Nama.[1]
Starting up Nama consumes about 55MB of memory

You might want to look at time-machine which has a very simplistic view on a
recording gui and does that job very well.
If you need more features like listening to existing tracks, a click track and
effects (with automation perhaps?), the answer is simple: ardour.
Have fun,

Hi, did you think about traverso, which is a good soft or Audacity?

Wow, thanks for the replies guys!
Of the software mentioned here, my biggest wish is for syncability with JACK
transport, so I can send the output of one of the linuxsampler instruments
to the recording software, hit the play button from inside Rosegarden and
have a perfectly synced audio copy of one particular instrument output which
I can then drop back into the sequencer timeline and continue with another
section of the song, thereby freeing up system resources.
Of course, this rules out jack_capture I'm afraid!
I'll take a look at Ecasound/Nama, the tk interface for nama doesn't look
too bad and it's relatively lightweight.
Arnold, I can't find any link to time-machine as audio recording software
via google, just as a filesystem snapshotting app.
Traverso is perhaps a bit overkill for my needs. Also, isn't audacity JACK
aware via pulse audio or somesuch?
Thanks again,
Andrew

Audacity uses portaudio and is absolutely unusable for this job.
I'm a bit of a traverso fan, especially because of the developments in
git, so I'd say you could give it a shot. Beware though that the version
debian/ubuntu currently ships is broken, but I'd recommend git anyway.
Its not feature complete yet, but handling jack and internal routing was
greatly improved, and it's pretty much totally qwerty controllable now.

Here just a "aptitude install timemachine" is enough:-)
Oherwise it should be available at http://plugin.org.uk/timemachine/ but the
site seems to have technical problems at the moment.
But timemachine doesn't sync to the jack-transport, so its probably not what
you want.

To me, that's actually an advantage!
YMMV :)

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

Ecasound can probably meet your sync requirements.
According to the Ecasound User's Manual:
JACK's transport control interface allows controlling the
transport state of all the apps connected to one JACK server
from a single application. Ecasound can support this
functionality in four different modes ("notransport",
"send", "recv" and "sendrecv").
For Ecasound to respond to external transport controls, you
need to set:
-G:jack,eca_slave,recv # responds
or
-G:jack,eca_slave,sendrecv # sends as well as responds
Of course, this rules out jack_capture I'm
afraid!
I'll take a look at Ecasound/Nama, the tk interface for nama doesn't look
too bad and it's relatively lightweight.
Yours is a minority opinion on looks. :-)
Even this mother is not especially enamored of them.
To get the Tk interface via Debian, you'll need to:
apt-get install perl-tk
Or if by CPAN:
cpan Tk
To get Ecasound/Nama to respond to JACK transport you'll
need to set the configuration variables above in $HOME/.namarc
(created on the first run). I would suggest starting with:
ecasound_globals_default: "-z:mixmode,sum -G:jack,eca_slave,recv"
and deleting the line for 'ecasound_globals_realtime', which is
unnecessary.
Arnold, I can't find any link to time-machine as
audio recording software
via google, just as a filesystem snapshotting app.
Traverso is perhaps a bit overkill for my needs. Also, isn't audacity JACK
aware via pulse audio or somesuch?
FWIW, audacity clocks in at 54MB at startup, and
automatically detects (but does not start) JACK.
Did not test JACK transport sync.

Joel
