audio/media related reports to bugzilla.redhat.com ignored?
by Niels Mayer 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

For audio/media related apps and issues reported on bugzilla.redhat.com , this is the pattern: bugs get filed, they're never acknowledged && totally ignored. Eventually people stop filing bug reports as it ends up being a waste of time and the quality of the distro goes down as result.... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566665 [abrt] instability from snd-mtpav on PCI parallel port, causes crash in jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0-1.fc12 (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588965 [abrt] crash in gnome-media-apps-2.28.5-1.fc12: Process /usr/bin/gstreamer-properties was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 [abrt] crash in alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.fc12: ____strtol_l_internal: Process /usr/bin/envy24control was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 envy24control "Reset Peaks" button nonfunctional; metering shows no peaks Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: the above is not my experience with non-media related bugs, which are handled quickly and effectively, e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575875 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543#c20

Re: [Fedora-music-list] Good hardware specs for a "Fedora Music" box?

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/

Event's page: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/guest-colloquium-may-20th-juan-pampin-and… Artist Bios: *Juan Pampin* is Associate Professor of Music Composition at University of Washington, Seattle, and founding faculty member of the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS), for which he currently serves as Director. He graduated from Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, France, where he studied with Philippe Manoury and Denis Lorrain. He got a DMA from Stanford University where he studied composition with Jonathan Harvey and computer music at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Juan Pampin’s works explore the territory delineated by the concepts of site, memory, and materiality through the use of algorithmic strategies to produce aural phenomena. His music compositions, including pieces for instrumental, digital, and mixed media, have been performed around the world by world-class soloists and ensembles such as Susana Kasakoff, Garth Knox, JACK quartet, Percussions de Strasbourg, Krakow Percussion Ensemble, to name just a few. His work "On Space" –for percussion sextet and 3D electronic sounds– has been recently released on CD as part of Les Percussions de Strasbourg 50th anniversary historical edition box published by Universal France. *Åke Parmerud* has successfully pursued a professional career in contemporary music and multi-media art since the late 70’s. Although he originally trained as a photographer ( 1972-74 ) he went on to study music at university and subsequently the Göteborg Conservatory of Music. In addition to his electro-acoustic and instrumental music, his prolific list of works includes compositions covering a broad cross-section of modern experimental music in the fields of dance, film, interactive art, multi-media, theatre and video. Åke’s work has been acclaimed since his piece “Proximities” received first prize at the 1978 Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Festival in France. Since then he has received 17 international prizes and 3 major Swedish prizes (see prizes and awards <http://parmerud.com/MediaArtist/Awards.html>). On two occasions he has also received the Swedish “grammy” award for Best Classical Album of the Year and his music has represented Swedish Radio twice at The Prix Italia. He is regularly commissioned to compose works by important international institutions and his works have been presented worldwide. In 1997 his piece “Grains of Voices” was performed at the U.N in New York on United Nations Day. His music has been released on numerous albums and compilations, and in 1998 he became a member of The Swedish Royal Academy of Music. Åke Parmerud is not just a composer he is also a stage performer, playing electro-acoustic concerts using many different types of interactive instruments - often solo. He has toured extensively in Europe, North and South America. In the late 80’s he teamed-up with composer Anders Blomqvist, and their live performances - which included fireworks - were successful all round Europe well into the 90’s. The last ten years have seen Åke working as an innovative sound and software designer for interactive audio/visual installations. His own works “The Fire Inside”, “The Living Room” and “Lost Angel” have been shown in Berlin, Göteborg, Leon, Mexico City, Paris and Reykavic. He has also designed concerts and been artistic director for large audio/visual events both indoors and outdoors. Åke’s artistic reputation has led to several creative international collaborations. Between 1999 and 2006 he worked closely with the Danish “art team” Boxiganga <http://www.boxiganga.dk/>, developing revolutionary interactive video installations plus exploring telematic concepts and interactive solutions for live performances. In 2000, 2001 and 2002 he also worked with Canadian choreographer Pierre-Paul Savoi <http://www.ppsdanse.com/>as composer, sound and software designer. His most recent stage work “Metamorphos” was developed together with Canadian dance choreographer Mireille Leblanc <http://www.mireilleleblanc.com/> who also choreographed the interactive sound/video-installation “Lost Angel” and the prize winning dance performance ”The Seventh Sense”. He recently formed AudioTechture <http://www.audiotechture.se/> with Olle Niklasson.

Help with StudioControls – Studio Set Up Utility
by bruce 24 Dec '20

24 Dec '20

Hi, I’ve just installed fedora jam on my spare laptop. I’ve been using windows for all my music, and I want to see what linux has to offer. I went with Jam because I wouldn’t know what software to install or how to configure it, so this seems like the place to start. But I’m not getting anywhere using it, and the wiki doesn’t seem to have much info. Here is my problem: when I plug in my audio interface (I’m using GuitarPort) I get unprocessed raw sound from my guitar in my headphones right away, before I even start anything. (Normally I don’t hear anything until the signal is routed through the amplifier software, but I’ve never used it in linux before, maybe that is expected?) I went into StudioControls -> Audio Setup -> Jack Master Setting, and I see the following: Jack Master Device (no USB): lists my sound card and my guitar port. USB device that should be Master: No USB Master. The thing is, GuitarPort *is* a USB device. No matter what I do, all I get is raw guitar output. I feel a bit like all I’m doing is closing my eyes and poking at it with a stick. Are there some instructions on how to set this up? Thanks, bruce

Line6 Guitar Port
by bruce 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

As you may remember, I’ve been trying to get my line6 audio interface working in fedorajam. So, I found a topic in this site linuxmao <http://linuxmao.org/line6linux#Informations> that led me to a mailing list from the developer https://sourceforge.net/p/line6linux/mailman/line6linux-user/ Looking through it, I find several users complaining that the driver broke at about kernel 3.2. The dev says it’s a change to the linux driver spec for usb that causes it, and he declines to fix it. I’m guessing this is why I couldn’t find the driver in Debian, they’ve been purging old drivers. At a minimum it affects these products: BassPODxt BassPODxt Live BassPODxt Pro GuitarPort PODxt PODxt Live PODxt Pro Pod Studio GX Pod Studio UX1 Pod Studio UX2 Pocket POD TonePort GX TonePort UX1 TonePort UX2 Now I see why the liveusb for KXStudio is ubuntu 14.04 - (kernel 3.13?). So, I tried that, and my rig works fine on it. Not that I want to use something past it’s EOL. I’m also not replacing all my Line6 equipment. Aside from the cost, it would break my sound, I’d have to start all over again building my sound. Nope. I'll stick with what is working. bruce
