Again, a misunderstanding, perhaps regarding to my broken English. There're two issues, one is caused by my sound cards, they do produce a muddy bass, the other issue has nothing to do with my sound cards. A recording internal Linux, without the sound cards involved does cause loss here. Audible loss, you don't need trained or good ears to hear it. > this is not a grey area. and expert such as yourself might want to > look at the source code for the software in question I can't read C and much more worse, never coded for modern PCs. > , and see what about the hardware is being utilized for rendering the > audio. heres a test scenario: take all the sound devices out of the > machine (or disable them). take a MIDI file and render it using JACK > utilizing the 'dummy' driver. you can render the same file with a > sound card in use, and share both of those here if you would like. *i > am not talking about monitoring those sounds, OR recording them analog > from the main outs of the sound card. by render, im thinking recording > in ardour and exporting or exporting from something else. No need to do this, because ... again ... the sound cards already aren't involved. This was a misunderstanding. Btw. doing the mastering for a "real song" might not work by an exporting option. At least Qtractor can't do this for "faster than real-time" included apps, in other words, DSSI plugins and especially not for inserts, e.g. jconvolver. That I wish to buy a good sound card has nothing to do with the loss internal Linux on my machine (and I suspect on many other machines too, at least I know some people who do have the same issue). > > > > -- > MH > > http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/ > http://wnclug.ourproject.org/ > > -- 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
