Re: [Fedora-music-list] music Digest, Vol 44, Issue 26

In response to Bernardo, Unless the threads got mixed up, I think it was Bernardo who suggested making a very nice Fedora Musician/Podcaster Guide. Fedora has a very good name and reputation and leaving the Fedora name as it is may be the best option. We all can agree that it is not very time consuming to make a Fedora install ready for music and pod cast production. And in doing this, users get exposed to CCRMA, and other things that they may not look at otherwise. Maybe we could make a Live .iso and have a nice "howto" that will explain how to tweak the original Fedora install. I am not sure if this is allowed, but the "howto" Wiki could be as simple as copying and pasting and giving credit where credit is due. I have one question. Wouldn't the real time kernel be compromised when using a live .iso? I am new to real time pre-emption so you might need to dumb it down for me :). > From: music-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > Subject: music Digest, Vol 44, Issue 26 > To: music(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 02:27:54 +0000 > > Send music mailing list submissions to > music(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > music-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > music-owner(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of music digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Why don't we go ahead and make a 'remix' and we can start collaborating and getting it up to a distributable .iso. We want this to be something that we would install as opposed to installing the basic Fedora distro and then patching the kernel. If we don't wanna use it, then chances are that others will feel the same way. I also agree with a wiki article for Fedora musicians/podcasters. We do need the support of ambassadors and people who represent Fedora at conferences. Unless there is some fundamental disagreements, maybe we should go forward with a CCRMA kernel remix.

Why don't we go ahead and make a 'remix' and we can start collaborating and getting it up to a distributable .iso. We want this to be something that we would install as opposed to installing the basic Fedora distro and then patching the kernel. If we don't wanna use it, then chances are that others will feel the same way. I also agree with a wiki article for Fedora musicians/podcasters. We do need the support of ambassadors and people who represent Fedora at conferences. Unless there is some fundamental disagreements, maybe we should go forward with a CCRMA kernel remix.

Re: [Fedora-music-list] music spin development. I am ready to test/help with the audio spin.
by William Blackburn 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

hello everyone, I apologize for my ramblings this morning about the decision on whether or not to use the real time pre-emption patch. If there is anything I can do to help move the spin forward, just let me know. I am more than willing to help. I think one important aspect may be to put the new version of rakarrack on the spin because the version in the repos is a bit outdated and that particular package is moving very fast. There are instructions on how to build the package on the rakarrack website but I am not experienced enough to know how to incorporate that into the spin. Maybe I can talk to one of the devs and ask him his thoughts on the idea. That's all I have for now. Until next time, ciao!

I hate to be a pessimist, but I don't see the point of making a music spin if it is going to have the same kernel as the the standard fedora distro. Anyone can add packages, but a working rt kernel is special. Also, if the real time kernel gets added, I think it may receive more attention and maybe get some nice improvements. If we have to call it a remix and not spin, that is not important to me. What is important is how useful it is to musicians and musicians do not like latency. I understand that the kernel patch can be installed quite easily and this is just my opinion.

Hi All, At the moment,the fedora music list has no owner: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/136608/focus=136609 , and hence there is no one to perform a change like the above. Ideally: 1. we have an actual list owner / owners 2. depending upon our consensus: we should have the configured with reply-to munging, so that hitting reply causes to to: address to be the list address. Are there any people who would like to take up the owner task ? What do people think about 'enhancing' our collaboration by using the reply-to munging as many other fedora lits use ? David Timms

Hi, I'm trying to get two soundcards to work. One MOTU UltraLite with FFADO and a USB Edirol PCR-1. No Luck with either. What should I do to configure the Edirol? (Maybe the easier one?) The core installation of planet-ccrma is enough? I tried to start up JACK but the system does not recognize the soundcard. (Fedora 13 64-bit with planet-ccrma). Thanks! Bernardo

Music spin development - are you ready to get involved ?
by Development discussions related to Fedora 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hi all, I have begun a wiki page to help track our goals for an audio creation Fedora spin: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AudioCreationSpinDevelopment , also available from the links at the bottom of the SIG page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Audio_Creation If you want to be involved, please make sure you have a Fedora wiki account (fas), and list yourself in the collaborators section. You'll probably find many areas of the page need flashing out or fixing up; please do so, but also consider the limited time frame before the next Fedora release. A name like "Open Music Workstation" ... or "Fedora Jam", but you can think of better, I'm sure... Meanwhile, as we are trying to show off collaboration, is there any software that allows distant users to jam / create music over the internet ? This would be something really quite unique, compared to other spins. Cheers, David.

announcing envy24control, mudita (*) edition.
by Niels Mayer 25 Jul '10

Summary of updates from envy24control 0.6.0 (GIT HEAD) to "1.0.0": (0) After a decade, incremented version to 1.0.0 (**) (1) Implemented missing "Peak Hold" functionality in meters and reimplemented meters for increased efficiency and lower X resource usage. (see http://www.linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/2010/7/12/171535 & https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 ) (2) All volumes are represented as decibels, including the 0 to -48dB range of the hardware peak-meters, the 0 -to- -144dB attenuation for all inputs to the digital mixer, the 0 -to- -63dB attenuation of the analog DAC, and the +18 -to- -63dB attenuation/amplification of the analog ADC. (3) All gtk "scale" widgets have dB legends; the "PageUp" "PageDown" keys allow rapid movement between the marked levels. (4) Got rid of myriad compile warnings and other minor fixes across codebase. Some screenshots: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-AnalogVolume.p… http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-MonitorInputs.… http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-MonitorPCM.png ------------ To the ALSA project: please consider this patch to alsa-tools' envy24control (**): http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-0.6-to-1.0.patch (patch to 'envy24control' from GIT trunk/head of alsa-tools) http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.README (summary of changes from 0.6.0 to 1.0.0) ------------ Those wanting to compile directly, or run a 64 bit linux binary I've built: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.tar.gz (full directory, just follow README directions to build/install) http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0-fc12-x86_64.tar.gz (x86_64 binary that should work on fedora12 and equivalent OpenSuse release) I'd appreciate any testing results or comments on this "1.0.0" release. In particular, I'd like some assurance that the dB markings on sliders in "Analog Volume" panel are correct (compared to values reported by 'alsamixer'). I'm looking for testing with following devices (as I think my testing covers code for M-Audio Delta 44 & Delta 66, Terratec Dmx6fire & EWX2496) specifically: M-Audio Delta 1010, M-Audio Audiophile 2496, M-Audio Delta 1010LT TerraTec EWS 88MT, TerraTec EWS 88D, TerraTec Phase 88, Hoontech SoundTrack DSP 24 (all variants). Thanks, Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: (*) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy#In_philosophy :: "mudita, taking joy in the good fortune of another. This virtue is considered the antidote to envy and the opposite of schadenfreude." (**) http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-tools.git;a=tree;f=envy24control;h=d5a5…
