[gentoo-user] sound recording software in gentoo
I wanted to see if there's a way to set up a home recording mini-studio using Linux. In Windoze, there's things like Cubase, Ableton, Reason, Wavelab, etc... What's available in Linux for that purpose (recording, sequencing, mixing, sound effects), and which of those does Gentoo have in the Portage tree? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Have a look through media-sound though, audacity has some nasty recording latency issues, but it's fine for arranging and mixing tracks. -- Thomas Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] +64211031910 == Mozilla Firefox: Take back the web www.mozilla.org/products/firefox -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You could have a look at ardour, rosegarden, muse, hydrogen, qjackctl etc. These are all in the portage tree. For a overview of linux and audio apps see: http://www.linux-sound.org/ -- gerrit -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

At first become familiar with JACK and then try to run only JACK enabled applications. ardour, rosegarden, muse, hydrogen and qjackctl are. Even recent versions of Audacity can be run on top of JACK. JACK cannot (yet) transport MIDI, so for MIDI use the ALSA sequencer instead of the outdated OSS devices /dev/midi*. The ALSA sequencer allows arbitrary MIDI connections between hardware- and software ports. BTW: THe advantage of JACK is not only low latency audio but allowing arbitrary audio connections as well. For support I recommend to join the linux audio user mailing list. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Try a search of the gentoo-users archives on gmane.org. Mark Knecht lead several discussions of exactly this topic. Good luck Bill Roberts pgpjNR13aawyY.pgp Description: PGP signature

Visit the archives of the linux audio user mailing list. Better yet, join the list. There is plenty of software, and Gentoo is a popular distribution for it.

Audacity "used" to have that issue. And they only had that issue when doing playback and record using integrated sound cards. This is now a non-issue. -- Zac Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Does anyone know if the "E-MU" sound cards are well-supported in Linux sound recording? I still havent made up my mind which pro audio card to invest in for the final result, but it would be nice if the card has good support in Linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I guess this question is better placed on linux audio user. To be honest, I have a notebook and that's why I stay with USB devices, and many of them just work great under Linux.

Actually it used to have that issue with my audigy2zs, regardless of simultaneous playback and record or not, but moot point. >Does anyone know if the "E-MU" sound cards are well-supported in Linux >sound recording?

I'm pretty sure the answer here is no, have seen a 1212M in the "trying to use" phase only recently and the result was nothing but static. -- Thomas Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] +64211031910 == Mozilla Firefox: Take back the web www.mozilla.org/products/firefox -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
