Re: [RDD] TuneIn API?
Hmm, never thought about using RN with wget to achieve this before. Seems a heck of a lot easier than rewriting icecast for the live365 api that we use. Wouldn't you have a problem with %t etc not being URL friendly? E.g. if everyone's favourite song was playing wouldn't RLM return: RN wget http://air.radiotime.com/Playing.ashx?partnerId=1partnerKey=2id=3title=Macho macho manartist=The Village People! Hence you'd get bash errors with wget mistaking spaces for extra commands? Or I suppose quoting the string might help, will have to investigate.

Re: [RDD] M-Audio Delta 410 low output levels
Hi, Just to confirm what others have said in more detail, unbalanced prosumer type cards (Tried the Delta 66 and a 1010LT) don't seem to push out enough volume even when maxed out in alsamixer. There is not much you can do without putting some sort of gain amp in between the card and the desk. I had some success using RED 502 unbalanced to balanced converters (passive transformer with ground lift). But they're about £30 per channel so can get expensive if you have 3 stereo outs to the point where just buying a decent sound card makes more sense.

August 2014 06:18 An: Rivendell Users Group Betreff: Re: [RDD] M-Audio Delta 410 low output levels Rivnedell normalises audio to something like peak -13dBFS if you have it set to normalise on import etc... The meters in Rivendell are also more like a real(ish) VU meter, not a peak meter like in Cool Edit/Audition etc... don't get the two confused. It normalises to this low peak level by default to protect those using professional sound cards. Some cards (not sure about the 410 you'd have to check) if balanced still don't have a decent output level, they are prosumer and not a full +24dBu output capable card. I have a Terratec Phase 22 with balanced but the output is +8dBu max so it's not a real professional level card which should be +24dBu max with a norminal of +4dBu. But on a pro card, you don't normalise audio to within a few dB of 0dBFS on a PC. You run a reference tone normally 1KHz at about -20dBFS on your audio file, to calibrate VU meters (which are an averaging meter not peak) to 0VU on analogue equipment. You'll then find when you take away the test tone and apply programme audio you'll get peaks of anywhere from say like -13dBFS to -6dBFS with some headroom left over. A -20dBFS test tone would give you a nice +4dBu norminal (average) output on a professional balanced audio card, with 20dB of headroom for peaks which gives you the full +24dBu output of the card. (24 - 20 = 4). If you had an audio file normalised to say -2dBFS on the PC, this would run a pro card extremely hot (+22dBu out all the time with an average of about +14dBu output) and doing that can end up cooking some outputs or inputs +or add distortion very easily elsewhere. On a cheap noisey card however with unbalanced outputs built to drive tiney sounding speakers an audio file that's peaks are about -9dBFS means turning up the stereo and also the noise. I suggest you go through the archives and google what a real VU meter is, and the SMPTE reference for 0VU is. It's been talked about a lot before in the past in the mailing list and is one of the hardest things to show and explain sometimes to budding audio engineers that have grown up on domestic sound cards with ripped CD's near 0dBFS on their computer (in the consumer world full of noise).

This probably falls into the category of ‘dumb questions normally asked by newbies’, but… Fresh install of RD Appliance. Sound card is a Delta 410 under ALSA (ice1712/envy24). All the outputs work, but the levels are awkwardly low. Had to crank everything in alsamixer all the way up to make it even mildly useful. The VU meter in RDAirplay looks fine, with the peaks occurring right below 0… but at the console, even with the pot wide open, the peaks are around -30.

I had been planning to avoid JACK because everything I have read says it's frustrating, but it's becoming clear that if I want my metadata with my stream I should stream and playout from the same box. I'm interested in trying out Glass Coder to do this. So I'm trying to learn JACK so I can get to that step. Here's the setup: Dual core workstation with the Rivendell appliance DVD. RD updated to current (2.9). I installed QJackCtl. Currently I have the built-in soundcard (HDA Intel) only on this machine. I have gone into RDAlsaConfig and moved the HDA entries out of the Active box. I have gone into RD Admin/JACK Settings and checked Start JACK Server. On the JACK Command line I have /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r4800 -p256 -n3 (which from what I can tell from documentation are the arguments that go along with the sound card). When I start any Rivendell application, I get meters and audio plays, but I can't hear it. When I look in Audio Resources, I see under Audio Adapters, card ) is JACK with 8 inputs and 8 outputs. Audio Ports reports that card 0 is JACK. This makes me think that JACK is running, but nothing is patched to where I can hear it. So, I fire up QJackCtl to use the patchbay. It doesn't think JACK is running and says it can't start up. I feel like I'm getting close, but I'm not sure what I should poke at next. Brain trust, where have I gone wrong?
