I would like to be able to record stuff from guitar, midi-keyboard, microphone, DJ setup (via line input I suppose), and then edit the results with the appropriate applications. Not all at once, but maybe 1-3 inputs at a time. The ability to play in real-time through the computer's output would be very important I think as I reckon it's much harder to work any other way. That's all I can think of right now. I currently have an SB Live with the LiveDrive thing, which has all the inputs I need, but I am thinking in terms of general system horsepower (RAM/CPU/disk etc). Finding a supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go with M-Audio for that. But I would like to know if I need to get one to do what I want. K. -- Kev Green, aka Kyrian.

To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful. Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to push it to the F8,F9 updates repos. DaveT.

whysynth doesn't work

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/ I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere! ############################################### $ jack-dssi-host whysynth.so jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/florin/.dssi" jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is: osc.udp://rivendell.home.local:15040/dssi/whysynth/WhySynth/chan00 host: Ready WhySynth_gtk starting (pid 4305)... ############################################### -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

Re: [Fedora-music-list] Update/Ideas for F19 and beyond

Sorry replied off-list by mistake. On 01/30/2013 03:17 PM, M. Edward (Ed) Borasky wrote: > Where did we end up on Planet CCRMA? They're just starting to support F18. > <snip> Not sure what you mean? PlanetCCRMA is still essential for users of Supercollider, PD and chuck (Nando? others i'm sure). We have moved a lot of packages into F17/F18, albeit the simple ones. Hopefully we can move supercollider into Fedora with nando's help, I'm just waiting on the new boost packages to land in F19. For rawhide, I just hard code the $releasever to 18 in /etc/yum.repos.d/planet*

Update/Ideas for F19 and beyond
by Brendan Jones 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi all, looks like the official website won't be released until Fedora 19. Some of you have noticed the nightly composes have been failing due to a poorly managed libicu soname bump. As I result I have changed the link on the Fedora_Jam wiki page to show only successful builds. So Jorn and others have done the hard yards for F18, with little thanks from the Spins team, but I am still really proud of what we've achieved. So, no time for dwelling on the past, lets look to the future. There is absolutely no doubt the Jam will be official for F19, so we have another cycle to separate us from the rest of the audio releases out there. Me, I'm going to be tracking the Anaconda, New Firstboot projects to ensure we get what we need - there were a few things we had to forgo given the limitations of where these projects currently stand. I've also re-stirred the pot on the designs team list for wallpaper and KDM icons, but that shouldn't stop any of us submitting ideas into the mix as well [1]. I would have thought the design team guys would jump at the chance to dabble with this theme - lot of space for creative expression, but interest seems minimal for now (but I really like the banner they did for us). We also need to come up with a definitive comps group ie. yum group install "Audio" (or another name - ideas welcome) and have this available at install time in Anaconda. Using the package list from the spin is probably a good place to start, but we probably could trim it down somewhat - we don't want the footprint to be too large - that's what the spin is for. Again, ideas welcome. regards, Brendan [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2013-January/006196.ht…

I hesitated cross-posting from Linux Audio User until it was posted to the Ubuntu Studio list. So show Fedora and PlanetCCRMA some love at the survey below. -- Jeff -- a1g0rhythm Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:39:05 +0000 From: Pablo G?mez Poch <pablogomez(a)pablogomez.com> To: linux-audio-user <linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org> Subject: [LAU] [Survey] Audio distro I just want to know what distros are you using in 2013, it would be helpful for programmers and help newbies to choose. So I created a poll: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZX8DL79

Re: [Fedora-music-list] [mup-users] Beta release of Mup 6.1 (fwd)
by Martin Tarenskeen 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hi, I am forwarding this message to the Fedora music group. Not very long ago Arkkra Enterprises decided to make MUP a free and open source project. (Until now you had to pay for a licence) If we compare Mup to Lilypond (I use both): Lilypond is more powerful, tweakable, and flexible. Mup is much faster, takes less diskspace, and the user manual has less pages. Both are capable of producing professional looking scores. And for the sake of freedom of choice it would be nice if also MUP could be part of Fedora. MT ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:39:47 -0600 (CST) From: Arkkra Enterprises <support(a)arkkra.com> Reply-To: mup-users(a)arkkra.com To: mup-users(a)arkkra.com Subject: Re: [mup-users] Beta release of Mup 6.1 Regarding Fedora: We are hoping to get Mup included in Linux distributions, so definitely Fedora is of interest. There are a lot of distributions out there, and each seems to have its own procedures and rules, which can take a while to learn. So we'd appreciate help or suggestions from people who have some experience with any distributions, like Fedora. The mup.spec file we use to generate the rpm packages that we provide is in the source package in the "extras" directory, so that should be a good place to start. We chose to have that build Mup with static libraries, so that it should possible to run it on almost any Linux-- even an extremely old version--without depending on a particular libc version, but for Fedora or any specific distribution, it should, of course, use the standard dynamic library version for that release. There are probably other guidelines that Fedora or other distributions requires that we have not yet had time to research, but someone else already knows. So if you make changes to be more compatible, please send us the changes. While we won't promise to pick up every patch anyone provides, we can at least look at folding it or something similar into some future release. And if someone is already familiar with the intricacies of getting a package into some distribution such as Fedora, and is willing to help guide Mup through that process, that could be very helpful. Just let us know, so we can help avoid any unnecessary duplication of effort. Thanks, Bill and John support(a)arkkra.com Arkkra Enterprises http://www.arkkra.com

gnome-scale and gnome-chord
by Brendan Jones 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hi all the gnome-guitar package was recently orphaned and I've picked it up. Up until now I've never used it but it seems quite useful (chord chart and scale chart). It totals about 1.1M in total including dependencies, I'm thinking we add it to the spin. Are there any other instruments/interest groups we may be missing? regards Brendan

Jam spin website
by Brendan Jones 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

This is in the f19-alpha tree at the moment. I've included screenshots of the jam specific content [1][2]. There's no real need to build it yourself, but if you are really curious instructions on how to do it locally are here [3]. There's no guarantee when this will go live, but fingers crossed it will be floated soon and not for F19. The text and the screenshot I find a little uninspiring, so I really welcome anyone to contribute a alternate screenshot/text ideas ASAP! The link to the list of packages is taken from the jam spin page [4] and it could probably also do with some cleaning up.
