I attempted to have one of my ethernet interfaces increased in priority
using an entry in the rtirq configuration file, but it did not seem to
work as seen below in the rtirq status. I expected eth2 to get set to
priority 70, but it is at the default of 50 along with all the other
non-sound interrupt handlers. Any help in understanding why would be
appreciated.
Also, is there any benefit to preventing the driver loading for the unused
audio section of my video card? The video card has an audio adapter that
only outputs over the hdmi port, which I am not using, but it gets set to
a high priority just like my ice card. Any concern with that, or just
ignore it?

I can confirm that removing "usb" from the section you added "eth2"
to
doesn't work for me as well, still high prio. Either "eth2" is just the
wrong or unsupported name... (as "usb" is taken instead of e/u/ohci) or
that part is somewhat broken?

Hi LAUs,
I proudly present you the first single we ever made.
And we made it with Linux, of course ;)
It's called What It Means To Me.
check out in English http://deathrokk.com/wim2m
or German http://deathrokk.com/wim2m_de
or just one-click-download the free mp3
http://deathrokk.com/wim2m_mp3
or download ogg files
http://deathrokk.com/wim2m_ogg
We have some other 18 songs recorded.
12 besides the a side of the single will be on our upcoming album.
We have a bunch of video material from the recording.
The documentary on it will be online, as soon, as we've captured all the
tapes and cut them etc. I'll tell you, when it's there.
If you think there are some obvious flaws in the mix, that we should
avoid on the album, now is your turn. Because now we can still change it.
That doesn't mean you have to search too closely.
Our whole studio excl. instruments is less than 1k€, so advices to use
Neumann mics as overheads won't help.
Anyway, I just wanted to share what we've made with wonderful tools like
rt-kernel, ardour, jamin and jack...
Thank you, devs and contributors.
enjoy!

Hi!
I list3ened to them. First of all: it's not my style of music. But from what
I've heard, I definitely say this. Raise the level of the vocals in contrast
to the rest of the band.
And you have to do something to the snare. It's very dull, especially
because it has to fight the very brilliantly mixed guitars.
I hope, you take this as a compliment: but the rest of the mix sounds
artfully trashy. It fits nicely with the music, this dirty tone, this rough,
slurred feeling to it.
Kind regards
Julien

From mn0:
Cool, that's something to work
with.
When the singer said turn down the vocals I said now they're right.
Well the snare... always the snare... this time it has a very low sound
itself, just as if it were half a bass drum, we need someone who knows
how to tune a drum and actually really does...
Well I can tell you the mixing problem here: I would have made it
brighter but the mic was turned a little too much in the direction of
the ride.
So the ride is in the snare channel.
In the panorama the snare channel is a little right from the center. The
ride is way left... as soon as i give in more brightness to the snare,
the ride start wobbling indifferently through the panorama.
So what to do about that?
Look for some (more) frequencies that are good for snare and bad for
ride in the snare channel and boost em up a few dbs?
Thx,

Hi!
You can start gating or processing the snare manually, this of course is a
lot of work, but it might pay. Otherwise you could move the snare alittle more
to the center or even left and move something, that isn't on the snare channel
to the right.
You can use a compressor as well to shape the peaks of the snare track, so
the ride gets lost even more. Perhaps not the nice way of doing it, but can
certainly be something to ponder.
In general I would spread the sounds some more in the panorama. Put the
guitars - except the solo guitar - to the sides, so the drumkit has more space
to breathe there and the bass guitar gets some room as well. The thing I
learnt about guitars, is that their most important frequencies end at about
5-6kHz anyway. So you may put a rigorous filter on them. That would enable
some more room for the snare, ride and vocals.
With that genre, I would have expected the snare release phase to be more
audible in the stereo panorama somehow. I mean the sound you get, when you add
a moderately short reverb (1-1.5s) and use some compression after that.
As for the snare/crash problem: You could try to load them in a wave viewer
or something, that can display sounds in the frequency domain and see, where
they have their main frequency bands and try to EQ them out a little more.
I don't think the general tuning of the snare drum is a problem. That sounds
OK.

Ok, as you can see in my previous mail, I already have the snare
dynamics processed and also know quite well, which frequency ranges make
instruments sound better.
I'll try this:
-get rid of default jamin settings in master insert, maybe bypass the
sum compression as originally intended.
-see if i get more snare out of it
-get some space for vocals in the center
-raise the vocal level
-raise high frequencies
-check that both channels are equally loud? Or better not? Right is
louder now.
-upload new version
-ask you again.

Consider taming your mids as Bret suggested first.
Technical considerations aside, I find it pays to have a vision for your
mix before ever adjusting a level or pan. Otherwise, it can be easy to
become hung up on small technical matters and yet have little to show
for it at mixdown.

Agreed.
A vision is good, even before playing the first note.
For practical reasons, I have to mix from time to time while recording.
I don't spend too much time on it. Create a solid sound where you can
hear every instrument in 20 minutes (without jamin, that's later, when
recording is finished). The editing part is more time consuming. I
should optimize workflow for that starting with the recording.
The problem is taking the vision into reality.
It's just like painting a picture.
You have a vision of a picture of a wonderful woman...
You have colors and pencils and brushes and a canvas.
This time it's quality material. Not top, but well usable.
You know how to move a pencil on a canvas and how to use all the tools.
You start drawing the first lines...
...after a while you have something woman like.
But it's not the wonderful vision woman...
Your vision is blurred a little because you're looking at the picture
all the time.
You ask 100 people for their opinion.
50 ignore you, 30 press like, ten say it's quite ok but they don't like
this kind of paintings, five say it's a picasso ripoff, only worse...
I am here for the five that say "look, the perspektive is somewhat
wrong, it should be more like this and why don't you move the pencil in
waves and use a rubber gum to make it straight and btw make the nose
smaller..."
You guys gave me that advice, I really appreciate that.

Hi, Mn0,
1) Because it's simple.
I have three tracks twice as good as before with jamin in the time I
need to find an adequate plugin. I can save the settings and have a real
file, that is independent of the computer I'm on. Still don't know where
ardour saves all those presets, I once made. Have a real bunch of tom
and snare and vocal eq presets in ardour from older sessions, cannot
distinguish them well. Once I'm on my mobile pc, everything looks different.
2)Because it's cool... jamin is musical and intuitive. You have all eq,
multiband compression and limiter covered. You can see the compression
and eq curves.
3)Because you (at least I) don't have regular plugins that can do the same.
Yes, a parametric 3 band would do just as well as jamin eq, but my
parametric 3 band eq out of a sudden creates a permanent output of ~500
db. And still it's not graphic. Ok, you can make a lot of uncool things
with a 1024 band eq (phase shift)... well... who tells you to use them
all. You can do uncool things with regular plugins as well.
It has two downsides:
-routing has to be stored and loaded
-eats up a lot of cpu, exporting takes a lot of time
-get rid of default jamin settings in master
insert, maybe bypass the

I've rebuild the mix with only one insert in master for stability reasons.
In 1-2 days mixing should be finished.
It added some latency in the inserts, that I couldn't get rid of, not
with "measure latency".
New:
panorama changed
more snare + added reverb
more vocals
more bass
more fun.

I overran that one.
Well, I thought it sounded trashy enough, never been quite happy with
reverbs and alike and didn't want to ruin it completely. There's no such
thing in it. Everything sounding like reverb is actually doubled. Real
two tracks recorded and mixed, one loud, one low.
Any suggestions which ladspa reverb to try?

Yes, I agree, the music is cool (not a fan of the style, but I can
still recognize good performance). I think there is too much midrange
in the mix, so the overall sound is a bit muddy, there should be more
separation of the instruments, especially with guitar and vocals. The
drums are very thin, too, the kickdrum and bass guitar really need to
create the pulse underneath everything.

Thanks for sharing. First off, the performances were top-notch! Drum
timing / guitar chugging / and most importantly, the vocals sounded well,
done too! Good job on the performances. The recording and mixing, on the
other hand, could use some help. The drums sound flat and lifeless (which
is a shame, because the performance of the drummer was *awesome*!) -
especially the snare. It's almost non-existent. It should be much more
present. The guitars kind of sound a bit dull. It's almost like the
higher freqs of just about everything was EQ'ed down. (like, say 5k and
above??) It could also use mastering. The levels are very low.
Again, thanks for sharing! Hope that was helpful.

Hey guys, I'm an idiot , just sent my reply to Julien to Julien only...
and don't even have a copy...
oh alright, he forwarded ;)
So I don't have to write all that again...
Yes, always the snare...
well I'll give the higher freqs a boost as a start, was already thinking
about that, but decided not to do because on my cheap speakers it
sounded well... the still cheap but more expensive near field ones said
i could but don't have to.
Mastering: Well the levels are at -0,1 db, which is the highest level
that doesn't cause massive clipping when encoded to mp3 and decoded.
(once tried that).
Yes... I know, mp3... but people don't have ogg players, least not in
hardware.
Ok, looking closely at the exported wavs lets me see a few peaks, that
could be compressed without changing the general sound giving me some
extra ~2db.
I didn't use sum compression this time, only limiter.
Well to let you know, what i've done at all:
-created buses for front and backing vocals, drums, guitars and bass and
routed the corresponding tracks to them.
-created inserts for every bus except drums, + one in master
-created inserts for bassdrum, snare, floor tom and overheads.
-started an instance of jamin for every insert
-adjust the compressor fast and high threshold so it has minimal effect.
-soloed a track and started searching for 2-3 frequencies that sound
exceptionally good or bad when really boosted in jamin grahpical eq with
a small bandwith
-moved that up/down a few (2-3) db
-gave the compressor knee
--adjust ratio and threshold
-raised the attack and release
Ok I've found the first mistake...
didn't bypass the compressors in master insert.
still jamin default settings.
That is a good reason why levels except a few peaks are so low...
the peaks went through the huge 100ms default attack, the rest is
leveled down...
...never do a mix in a rush.
So, now I'll read the other statements.
Good to have some feedback, this will surely result in a better album.

Thanks for sharing. First off, the performances were
top-notch! Drum
timing / guitar chugging / and most importantly, the vocals sounded
well, done too! Good job on the performances. The recording and
mixing, on the other hand, could use some help. The drums sound flat
and lifeless (which is a shame, because the performance of the drummer
was *awesome*!) - especially the snare. It's almost non-existent. It
should be much more present. The guitars kind of sound a bit dull.
It's almost like the higher freqs of just about everything was EQ'ed
down. (like, say 5k and above??) It could also use mastering. The
levels are very low.
Again, thanks for sharing! Hope that was helpful.

Hi LAUs,
I proudly present you the first single we ever made.
And we made it with Linux, of course ;)
It's called What It Means To Me.
check out in English http://deathrokk.com/wim2m
or German http://deathrokk.com/wim2m_de
or just one-click-download the free mp3
http://deathrokk.com/wim2m_mp3
or download ogg files
http://deathrokk.com/wim2m_ogg
We have some other 18 songs recorded.
12 besides the a side of the single will be on our upcoming album.
We have a bunch of video material from the recording.
The documentary on it will be online, as soon, as we've captured all the
tapes and cut them etc. I'll tell you, when it's there.
If you think there are some obvious flaws in the mix, that we should
avoid on the album, now is your turn. Because now we can still
change it.
That doesn't mean you have to search too closely.
Our whole studio excl. instruments is less than 1k€, so advices to use
Neumann mics as overheads won't help.
Anyway, I just wanted to share what we've made with wonderful tools like
rt-kernel, ardour, jamin and jack...
Thank you, devs and contributors.
enjoy!

Maybe the mistake wasn't there, jamin doesn't save compressor bypass
states, as i found out now. Could this be a bug? (v0.95.0)
I don't know if I activated bypass back then. I think so, but I'll try
comparing the resulting wave to the old one.
Need a 6400*4800 screen and make screenshots in the future.
