Setting Up Jack, Envy24

2008-06-08 Thread Dave Ricketzz
#1 seems like a no-brainer, but...  My installation changes this setting every 
time I boot.  Since I have a Delta 1010LT, I select ICE1712 (the chipset on the 
Delta).

 I start Jack, then I open the Envy24 control panel for the soundcard, then I 
open Ardour.  The audio in and out of Ardour is adjusted on the Envy 24.  There 
is also a monitor input selector on Envy24.  The cables from the Delta 1010LT 
aren't fully labeled, near as I can tell.

This information is what I have needed at bare minimum to get the editor 
working.  As I can get sound in and out, I'm now at the stage where I'm 
learning to edit on Ardour.

 Hi there,
 
 I'm thinking about transferring some old stuff from VHS
 to .avi or DVD
 via my Ubuntu Studio setup. I think probably the easiest
 way would be
 to replace the graphics card in my Dell Dimension 8400 with
 something
 coming with a video input. Doesn't have to be ultra
 mega gamer-stuff
 either, preferably something fanless and an ordinary
 composit rca
 input would do just fine. Anyone have a
 suggestion/experience to
 share?
 
 
 / Petter

The Studio installer can make a Vista partition for
you.  Be sure to defrag your Windows file system
first.  Back-up any mission critical data.

Most high budget studio productions have been tweeked to death.  I'd much 
rather hear something with less inherent corporate pressure between the notes.

(BTW:  my home studio is in the garage.  My bedroom has bad flutter echo.)

Compressors can be quite musical;  they make a performance easier to hear in 
many cases.  Without a compressor/limiter your RMS is quite low vs peaks and 
your SNR suffers.  Part of the mastering process is to judiciously apply 
electronic magic here and there.  Are you saying this person didn't equalize?

Christopher Stamper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  I once had a professionally 
mastered CD. On the CD, it proudly stated something like this: 

Mastered by *. Audio signal not passed through any processing device, such 
as a compressor, at any point in the production or mastering of this disc. 

Amazing isn't it? :-)

Yeahhh! hooray to those who value their fun and freedom higher than so
called standards made up by people who need a reason to charge big
money for helping to meet them.

Oh yes, people! We invested sooo much for our professional hi-end
equipment - there must be a reason we have spent all the money. Thus we
and we only can make a good sounding record!


90% of the best sounding records are made with equipment that would be
called outdated today. Where were the realtime-vsts as Todd Runtgren
made Wave with the Patti Smith Group? What about Laurie Andersons Big
Science? what about The Stooges? Get the record (I mean the real thing
in black 12), listen to 1969, No Fun or We will fall and you know
how the sound of a record can help to make music a classic.

Plus: set everything else aside there are 2 things that make a good record:

1.) good, dedicated musicians.
2.) enough time to do the right thing and to weed out the 2nd-best of
moments.

With these 2 ingrediences you can record a classic and even a top-20-hit
with equipment for not much more then 1000 Euros.
And with free software only.


I mean it ;-)

The dynamic range should match the end-user listening environment.  Pop music 
is mixed for MP-3 players, good jazz is not.

judiciously isn't whats happening in the industry unfortunately. The
whole brickwall mastering thing has made me sick of modern pop music
and leery of re-masters of old albums. I can turn up the volume myself.

Theres no reason to kill dynamic range so song A sounds as loud as song B.

I'm just a touch sensitive about compression. ;)

No thanx. I want a single format to win. I'm old enough to remember
| Betamax/VHS war. BlueRay has won.

We all lost since neither side could co-operate.  In the mean time the 
proliferation of lower quality downloaded content appears to be 
entrenched.  It is possible that BR/hd-DVD pulled a Wordstar and 
wrestled themselves  down and out.

When Sony stuck with their memory stick format, I vowed never to buy 
another product from them, as they clearly did not learn their lesson 
from the Beta/VHS war.  Blue Ray has reinforced this view.

I 
have 
grown 
up 
with 
both 
vinyl 
and 
CD 
(I 
am 
in 
my 
30s).  
The 
crackles 
and 
the 
constant 
noise 
irritate 
me, 
especially 
since 
I 
do 
not 
have 
that 
nostalgic 
emotional 
connection 
that 
_can_ 
cloud 
ones 
subjective 
judgement.

A 
proper 
24/96 
digital 
recording 
can 
capture 
the 
same 
frequency 
range 
as 
vinyl 
(well, 
it 
exceeds 
a 
human's 
ability 
to 
tell 
the 
difference, 
there 
are 
limits 
to 
what 
we 
can 
hear) 
and 
therefore 
be 
indistinguishable 
from 
vinyl, 
except 
of 
course 
for 
the 
artifacts 
created 
by 
the 
mechanical 
reproduction.

Having 
said 
that, 
I 
know 
a 
lot 
of 
people 
who 
experience 
vinyl 
differently 
than 
I.  
They 
truly 
believe 
that 
vinyl 
sounds 
better.  
Neither 
experience 
is 
necessarily 
right 
or 
wrong, 
just 
different.

Honestly, 
this 
argument 
is 
just 
like 
the 
vi(m) 
emacs 
wars, 
the 
Mac 
vs 
everyone 
else, 
and 
so 
on.  
It 
reduces 
to 
personal 
preference, 
period.

I'm fairly certain the master is cut with a heated stylus being driven by heavy
