Re: *Something Fun* Help me build a mobile recording box.
The 1010s are fine, but the RME is more stable and more highly regarded, plus you can upgrade the pre and the converter as you go. The only way to get a signal into the 1010 is via an unbalanced 1/4" plug which is potentially noisy, especially for recording in on- location spaces where discrete power sources are not a priority. Chances are, however, you could get really great results with the 1010s. It's just a risk I wouldn't take. I'd rather have Adat I/O and put whatever converter I want on there. I think M-audio makes decent stuff, but their best stuff is firewire and not easily linux-able. RME makes the nicest linux-able stuff. Echo Audio makes some decent things as well and some are Linux-able. I'd suggest getting a great pair of closed back headphones to mix with. (Like the Sonys) You can always patch into a rehearsal room PA for play back and you definitely don't want to feed what you are recording back through the air onto an audio track. The de-facto best speaker for monitoring is the Yamaha NS10. These are no longer made so you'll have to find a pair used. Typically these are driven with a hafler amplifier. That's the setup you'll find in almost every major studio anywhere in the world. I've listened to the Event PS8XLs and I like them. I think they're pretty accurate. I've also heard the Mackie 824s and I think they're great, but you can't beat the Yamahas for accuracy and consistency.

I don't know Ardour very well, but I've done this sort of thing all the time in Rosegarden. (When you suck as a player as much as I do, it's really convenient to be able to loop the one iteration of something where you didn't make any really horrible mistakes.) Record a four-bar riff on a guitar, shrink the segment so it starts and ends exactly at a barline (if necessary,) toggle the Repeat checkbox in Segment Parameters, and then you can move 73.25 measure ahead, hit play, and you'll hear the right audio. You can record over this all day long. Surely Ardour could do exactly the same thing (and maybe it already does, and I'm too stupid to figure out how to work it.) I don't see how the original poster is asking for magic here. -- D.

Re: *Something Fun* Help me build a mobile recording box.
I'm currently running a setup basically the same as what you described. It currently consists of an AMD x2 3800+, 2gb ram, 1T of raid space, RME 9652, Focusrite Octapre LE, behringer ADA8000 (when clocked to the RME the converters aren't to bad, just crap pres) and a behringer ultramatch pro (once again, clocked to the RME its great for samplerate conversion on digital sources and has another 2 A/D D/A's it it). All mounted in a 10U flight case. As Matthew said you're not going to need a mixer unless you are wanting to submix on the input chain. So far this setup has proved extremely usable and having the RME gives me plently of headroom on my ins so I can simply hire more converters when needed. Price wise you'll find that if you look around you can pick up a lot of the gear you need for pretty decent second hand / special prices. For example. the RME set me back AU$465 inc postage of ebay, and there are still places where it retails for round the AU$1600 mark. If you want advice on any specific gear or your setup in general check out www.gearslutz.com, 'low end theory' is useful, 'hi end' is great for a drool.

Re: *Something Fun* Help me build a mobile recording box.
I use this rack for mobile recording of my R&B band. 16 tracks at a time. That is a 19" calzone 20-space rack case with shockmount. I like the 1604 VLZ Pro but I had one with my band and it died. Warranty was out. We bought an allen and Heath Mixwizard 3 16-2 and it sounds so much better and has 16 direct outs as well as inserts.

What you are explaining would involve multiple independent time lines. This is a feature I have not seen on any audio editor on any platform.

Re: anyone used a mackie firewire ?
If you are tracking in a decent room you'll find that you can get an awesome drum sound from 3 mics (some good tips here if you haven't done this before at http://www.mercenary.com/3micdrumstuf.html). If you are going for a multi mic setup chances are you are wanting to have more flexibility when it comes to the mix, however, keep in mind that for every mic you add and every time you tweak an EQ you run the chance of introducing more phase issues, so you will find you are much better off ensuring the kit is tuned to a t, deadened where necessary and sounding its best before you even consider putting a mic near it. If this method works for you you are going to end up with a much better product by investing that hire money in a few decent mics and pres that are going to compliment the kit to its full potential. You'll probably find that the comment about the drum's not being 'wide' enough is due to a lack of early reflections and natural verb in the tracking, as this is what creates the sense of space. When you close mic everything you eliminate / attenuate spill, but you also loose this feeling of space. Sorry to go on such a rant but I always used to get as close to the source on everything then try to re-create coherent space artificially in the mix but I saw the light and have learned that it is better to spend that extra time tuning the room, experimenting with positioning (of both the mics and the source within the recording space) and tweaking everything in the 'real' world before entering edit and mix land. Basically just remember, you can't polish a turd.

*Something Fun* Help me build a mobile recording box.
Hi kids. Something that got me involved in Ubuntu Studio was the hope that one day I could build a 16-track, portable (in a road case), Ardour-based recording setup. I do think it's been sad that I haven't had time to actually _use_ what I'm helping to create. (though $ is a factor as well. isn't it always) ;) So here's a fun little topic. I'm looking at putting together something I can wheel around in a road-case. I *think* I need: * 16-track capable recording. (maybe 2 Delta 1010s or LTs?) * Mixer * Road case (maybe something from http://www.cases.tv) * 3U rackmount PC case (maybe http://www.rackmountmaster.com/rm-4170-4u-ipc-rack-mount-case.html) * Mics (normal list containing SM57/58s to start) I _know_ I'm missing a couple of things like the PC guts. I pretty much have that covered. From the screen on down. I'm looking to record _real_ instruments. ;) So keep that in mind as well as money. I'm not looking to be cheap here but I know Ill be spending money here. Upwards of 5k or more I guess?

I had hoped to do some big formal review, but I have been surprisingly busy the last few days, catching up with all the stuff I never have time for now that I'm working so many hours at my day job. Quick impressions will have to do. Between NoteEdit and Canorus, NoteEdit is really the only usable choice at this time, but Canorus looks very promising as an eventual replacement. They seem to be addressing all the reasons why I always felt NoteEdit was a project that had more promise than practical use, but at this time I don't think I would be doing their project any favors by giving it a thorough review. They probably know most of what I would point out. They are only at 0.4, and it shows, but I see very promising and encouraging things coming out of that project so far, and it's one to watch. mScore certainly makes a better first impression as a notation editor than Rosegarden. Out of the box, you get a nice looking composition that actually makes noise. One thing that leaps out at me is they apparently have hard line breaks, if that's what the glowing green Enter key symbols represent. Everything about this application seems to be oriented toward drawing music on a page in a visual way, with a high degree of control over the presentation, and almost no control over playback reproduction. They have come a long way since 0.2.x, and this project looks like it might be our best hope as a GIMP or OpenOffice.org in this category, though I have to admit that I just don't enjoy using it very much, and I don't think I will be abandoning Rosegarden anytime soon. It feels too heavy for someone like me, just like Ardour is too heavy for my taste for audio work. At this time, mScore wouldn't solve any of the problems I have getting things done with Rosegarden, but the framework they have in place is very solid, and well-conceived. Once it is fully fleshed out, this will probably become the killer free, cross-platform graphical notation app for serious composers who want a high degree of control. Though I must admit the more I look at this, I'm not sure if I would ever use this to solve a problem or not. I can't see switching to mScore for my notation needs at this time. What it's going to come down to is some future project that I can't do with Rosegarden, for which mScore saves my day. Currently the project I have languishing on my desk is sitting there because our grace notes are broken. On the other hand, mScore doesn't even have grace notes yet that I can see. So for now, I'm still frustrated. I also come away with a feeling of warm satisfaction. I think all three of these are going to be useful in their own way, though I can't imagine myself using any of these other applications for more than the occasional project that thwarts me with Rosegarden. I have the speed advantage on my home territory, because I'm better at most people in the world at pushing Rosegarden to its notation limits, and getting things done without false starts. Still, I wonder how that might change once mScore or Canorus are further along, and deliver on their promises. There are many things that can be done in Rosegarden, but they are prettier to do in an application dedicated entirely to notation. -- D.

quick terminology question.
I was looking through the bug fix thread for the intel hda chipset -- specifically for the ALC883 sound card: 3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O 6stack-dig 6-jack digital with SPDIF I/O 3stack-6ch 3-jack 6-channel 3stack-6ch-dig 3-jack 6-channel with SPDIF I/O 6stack-dig-demo 6-jack digital for Intel demo board What does 3stack 3jack mean ? is this referring to the number of physical jacks into and out of the sound card, or to the number of channels which the sound card can route? Also, are these parameters which I need to manually edit within the main alsa configuration file?

RE: Discussion from RoLo - my Point of view
I am pretty much in the same situation...playing for 15 years, home studio..ect ect. and I agree with dennis. on almost everything but where I differ is on the ease of use of commercial DAWs. ANY remotely decent recording tool has a steep learning curve. The first time you look at pro tools or cubase, you only see knobs and lines. took me almost 2 years to be comfy with pro tools. What is easyer though, is to switch from one DAW to an other. Understanding Ardour after being comfy on something else was much less a hassle. There is just one way to be 100% comfy with a DAW and that to use it, and use it again, and use it even more. Ardour is not harder to learn than pro tools, its justdifferently laid. And quite frankly, the Jack system is MUCH more flexible than anything on windows. Again, I would compare recording to driving... it takes years to drive properly, but only months to go from automatic to standard transmission. although, if something goes wrong under the hood, im clueless!

I don't know if it's possible, but I can't figure out how to do it either. This job is really easy in Rosegarden. Any segment of any type can be set to repeat until it bumps into something else. I want to state for the record that I'm not trying to suggest Rosegarden as an all-around alternative to Ardour. It really depends on what you need to do. This particular job is easier, if it's even possible to do in Ardour at all, but they have a lot of high end functionality we don't even imagine trying to duplicate. -- D.

Discussion from RoLo - my Point of view
Hello list, I just read some of the points from RoLos Mail "so frustrating" and I simply want to says some words about this. First of all, I want you to know who am I. I am living in germany and I play bass guitar for nearly 10 years, but although music is a central point in my life, I never thought about going professional - so music is "just" a hobby for me. Musically, I am into Hard Rock, Metal and Prog Rock. Now, what concerns the mail from RoLo, I think we should all relax a little bit and gain access to the issue from another point of view. I guess that everyone making music comes to the point, where he/she wants to record it in some way. Here arises the question: Where to go to record? Sure, in a pro studio would be the first idea about it, but as far as I know, millionaires among us are quite rare, so there are not many bands who can really afford a pro studio. Next idea: Home recording. Okay, this is realisable. But how? I do not want to use commercial products such as Cubase and Pro Tools because of the amount of money I waste. So Linux and Ardour is quite the next step. But to tell you the truth: It's not easy for beginners to use this (and, btw, which soundcard one should buy is another central question...) because of all the things you have to know about jack... So is there any alternative? Yes, I found myself one in the Boss BR-600 digital recorder. It's a 8-Track-recorder, smaller than a notebook and as easy as a CD-Player. But is there any negative side of it (and that's what I what you to think about)? Yes. Making music is a creative process and at some point you're limited by the options the device you're using is giving you. Although the BR-600 has even a (very good) mastering tool in it, you may face the problem that at some point, you can't create the sound you want. My own point of view can now be explained. If you don't want to learn all about jack etc, you may use such a device as the BR 600 (320 Euros in germany), so you spend a certain amount of money, but don't have spend time learning stuff. But if you want to make sounds in the direction Mike Oldfield or Jordan Rudess (on the keyboards of Dream Theater), such a device is not enough so you have to learn deeper about home-recording technology. Whichever of these both ways you may go - it's up to you!

anyone used a mackie firewire ?
hi all, im going to record a band next weekend, and since the drummer wants to use 8 mics for his drums, I will be forced to rent a firewire mixer for the drum recordings. I contacted my favorite toy rental shop, and the one that would do the job is a mackie. is anyone using this type of setup with ubuntu studio? is there known issues? I have a delta44 in there, would it be wise to remove it to avoid conflicts? can I use both the mixer and the delta without creating havoc? last time, I used the delta 44 only, but the drummer felt the drum was not "wide" enough. I feel it was more a mistake from my part (mic placement) but hey, hes the one with the money. any better suggestions? I wish I just could rent a delta 1010, but its not available for rental. -sigh- _ Envoie un sourire, fais rire, amuse-toi!

RE: So Frustrating
im pretty new to ubuntu studio, but I gotta say, the tools it offers are of pretty good quality once you get past the learning curve. Took me about a month of trial-error before recording, editind and mastering my first song. What convinced me to keep on going was was Jamin. The only other "affordable" mastering tool that beats what jamin offers is the Waves suite, and its still worth thousands.Ardour is pretty complex, but if youre familiar with pro tools, you wont take too long to get it..Ive fiddled with it for 2 months or so now, and once you get how everything communicates together, you will be impressed. Take jack as a virtual patch bay that makes every music app comunicate together.. like "real" cables. just take it as virtual patch cables. Say you want to want to link your drum machine to your mixer, your mixer to your recorder, and your recorder back in your mixer for monitoringin the real world, you would have a spaghetti behind your desk right? jack is exactly that, but virtually. So heres a few tips.. I hope it helps. keep in mind im like most car drivers out there... i know how to drive, but if something goes wrong mechanically, I am at a loss. Make sure Jack is seeing your sound card, and that its buffer settings are set to accomodate your sound card.there is a nice setup tutorial at http://www.ubustu.com/globe/2007/05/29/how-to-configure-jack-in-ubuntu-studio/(the fact that the tutorial uses my sound card as an example helps a lot though :) Keep in mind that ubuntu is much lighter than windows, so dont be shy to use pretty high frames/period settings(buffers). Even past 1500 the latency is still not a hindrance, and I have very little xruns. This high buffer allows me to record at 24 bit 96 khz without major issues. remember, always let jack run in the background and keep an eye on xruns :) just select your inputs and outputs from your respective programs and jack does the rest. ill give you a quck example of how I use ardour and jamin... hope it helps. say I have a 16 track mix in ardour that sounds kool enough to be worth mastering. First of all, I create a 17th stereo track that I mute as soon as I create it and arm it for recording. then i start jamin then, in ardours mixer window I right click in the master out. (the black box at the bottom of every track.) click edit and remove your main ALSA outs (your sound cards output) to avoid loop feedback. then I switch to jamin, and in the input menu, I select the master outs from ardour. Then I select jamins output menu and select the main ALSA outs. You should have sound from jamin now if you press play in ardour. there is a nice tutorial on jamins tools at http://jamin.sourceforge.net/en/uibasics.html check the whole site, its worth it! once youre happy with he mastering, select the 17th track (the one thats muted) as an output in jamin. Giving it a name when you created it wil make it easyer to spot. just play and record ath the same time, and that 17th track will be your master...just right click it and export it in the format you want. hope this helps a bit, and feel free to ask the commuity if stomped. > Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 10:00:44 -0500> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com> Subject: So Frustrating> > Hello, been working with Ubuntu Studio, and have some question for you.> > 1.

Re: So Frustrating
On Sunday 25 November 2007, RoLo wrote: > 1. Can somebody explain in simple words how do you do your musical > process overflow on Ubuntu studio?? I can think of two representative examples from recent memory. One involved notation, while the other did not. First, Zynfidel started life when I was playing with ZynAddSubFX one day. I had started ZynAddSubFX, and routed its JACK audio outputs to alsa_pcm in order to hear it, using the Connect button and Audio tab in QJackCtl. I had my keyboard's MIDI output routed to ZynAddSubFX by way of the Connect button and MIDI tab also in QJackCtl, which an indispensable application for managing JACK audio and ALSA MIDI connections, as well as starting the JACK server itself, and monitoring its status. I found one particular patch that sounded really cool when I played one note, let it ring a bit, and then played another one. It was a seed of inspiration. So I fired up Rosegarden, routed Rosegarden's first MIDI output device to ZynAddSubFX via its Manage MIDI Devices button, and recorded this little two note motif. I looped it. Then I went back to ZynAddSubFX, configured it to receive input on more than one MIDI channel, found a drum patch that also sounded cool, set that up to play on channel 2, and went back to Rosegarden to do something with the drums, which I also looped. I wound up using five different patches in ZynAddSubFX, along with a live recording of me playing two arpeggiated chords on acoustic guitar. This all formed the endlessly repeating and unchanging backbone of a long and rambling "ambiance" piece. It went on for something like 8-9 minutes before I finally came in with a long off the cuff acoustic guitar solo noodling around on top of the tapestry of other sounds, including some random "whacking on something" noises I also produced with ZynAddSubFX. The whole thing wound up being all Zyn and live guitar, with nothing else included, which I thought was rather cool of Zyn to be functional enough to be pushed to what I thought was an impressive limit. Then I probably used Time Machine to record a mixdown of all the tracks into one file, probably by routing alsa_pcm directly to Time Machine. These days I've taken to recording the mix directly inside Rosegarden, so I don't have to load a gigantic file into an editor to cut off the first two minutes. As I said, that example didn't include any notation. For another recent project, I went back to a MIDI file I composed with Cakewalk in 1996 or so as a pure MIDI piece, imported it into Rosegarden, and then I worked on a "live instrument remix" version from there. I ditched the lame MIDI acoustic guitar, and replaced it with a live recording. To do this, I turned my external speakers off, and listened to my Sound Canvas on headphones, so I wouldn't record the MIDI parts along with my acoustic guitar. (This didn't completely work, and I can still hear the synth instruments in the guitar recording a little, but it's close enough for my low standards anyway.) After I had replaced the worst part, I decided to use Hydrogen's superior drum sounds to replace the lame drum kit on my aging Sound Canvas. I started Hydrogen, found an appropriate kit, then went to the drum track in Rosegarden, and assigned it to a MIDI playback instrument that was part of the device connected to Hydrogen. Then I had to use various Rosegarden features to remap the part to find the correct drums in Hydrogen, which has different and all non-standard mappings for each one of its kits. After all of that was said and done, I went ahead and recorded the drum track into an audio segment. Once I had that going, I replaced the MIDI pipe organ part with Aeolus, and recorded that into an audio segment too. Then I moved into the melody lines. One of them was written for "pan flute" and the other for "trombone." I took each of these parts to convert for live brass. I started with the "pan flute" part, transposed its playback -2 and opened the segment in a notation view. I double clicked the key signature and re-inserted the same key, directing Rosegarden to transpose relative to the segment level transpose, which moved the notation +2 automatically, and wrote the right key for me. Then I cleaned up the notation a little, smoothed out some weird rests, moved pitches around to avoid anything too high or too low for my own trumpet chops on a real instrument, and printed it via LilyPond. I repeated the process for the "trombone" segment, moving it around to fit my "Alto horn in Eb," and printing that as well. As it happened, my alto horn chops are not good enough, and I was under a time crunch to get this track onto a CD for an old friend, so I wound up using a lame fake MIDI instrument on that part, but it does include a live trumpet. Then I had considerable trouble mixing this one down. I was recording several live tracks from my Sound Canvas mixed with several cann

Everyone has to also remember that windows nor Mac (since the comparison was made) does this. Documentation is generated by upstream. So I'm against doing *major* documentation for a app within Ubuntu Studio. If one starts to write documentation than realizes that most of the writing is about the app specifically than I would encourage that person to look at getting the info to upstream.

Re: So Frustrating
Rolo, I think you are dead on correct in your criticism of the current state of UbuntuStudio and your thoughts point to issues with the Linux and Open-Source communities at large. However, this is an incredible opportunity to create a new type of community because of this exact issue. One of the things that Ubuntu (and Canonical the company that "owns" Ubuntu) has done that is unlike any other Linux community in history is to expand the user community outside of traditional Linux users. This is the first Linux community in history where I would estimate the majority of new users are not users coming from another Linux community but are coming from outside, most likely Windows or even sometimes Macintosh OSX. This is a world changing community. This community is going to be different because of the sharing that occurs. I would not say that, for example, the Windows development community is good at "sharing." Windows developers hide their solutions (so they can get paid for consulting) whereas Linux developers offer their solutions to the world at large for free (price) and freely (licensing). This is the same opportunity we have with Ubuntu Studio. We as a community have to find the ways to share information about this project. I'm using it particularly as I learn piano, and so I use JackD via QJack, Rosegarden, Qsynth. But, I've never shared how I use it. I'll commit to doing this. A friend of mine made a great little multimedia capture program called "Screen-cast-o-matic." It is purely browser based, you just go to the site and click a button to do screen captures with Java software in the browser. Would anyone on this list be interested in documenting their processes using something like this? I'll commit to using this to document one or two of my processes; first step for me would be to organize and figure out which two processes are interesting and helpful. One problem I see with his software immediately is that SCOM cannot capture using a java applet running inside of Firefox as the sound card will be blocked by the Jackd process and Firefox cannot connect to jackd. I've been trying to find a solution to this for a long while. Perhaps there is another screen capture program, or would people care if these were video only? I suppose it does not make a lot of sense that audio creation demonstrations are without audio... Any thoughts? Could we create a user generated site full of UbuntuStudio audio application usage?

It is not in any official repository but I read (on this list or lau I think) that there are working packages around. regards Philipp -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

ardour - recording while playing a loop
Hi all. Does anyone know if it's possible in Ardour to play a loop in one track, while recording another track? Obviously, I would want the recording track to move forward linearly - at the moment, I can get Ardour to loop all the tracks or none of them, but I can't get it to loop one track but not another.
