Re: Focusrite Scarlett Gen 3 4i4 (and others)

I see an issue was raised against the app last week for deprecated GTK objects: https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui/issues/50 I hit this too on Ubuntu Studio 23.04. I actually just got my 4i4, so I'm interested in any way to get it working. UPDATE: Maybe someone saw this, but that p...

Re: TD-50 Roland E-Drums and Ubuntu Studio

I had run the drums over an audio lead to my interface, but USB may be easier for recording. What I would like to be able to is hear the drums on the PC speakers when using USB. I assume it needs the right routing setting in Pulseaudio, but I am not sure what I am looking for. Using Ubuntu Studio. ...

Re: TD-50 Roland E-Drums and Ubuntu Studio

I found this thread whilst trying to get my new TD-07 working over USB. MIDI worked fine with Hydrogen, but I was not getting any audio despite it showing up in aplay and arecord. The fix was to change the module USB mode from GENERIC to VENDOR. Now I see it in Jack and some other apps. I had run th...

Steevc is back!

Some of you may remember I used to hang around this forum a lot a few years back, but I was not doing much recording for a while. I have kept making music at local sessions and I have formed a duo with a clarinettist. We play old jazz tunes. I have also written a few of my own songs and want to get ...

Re: youtube now having adverts in music videos

Musicians should look at getting their music up on https://d.tube/ which is built on the Steem blockchain. No ads required to pay you rewards and it does not get censored either. There is also https://dsound.audio/ for purely audio stuff. I speak as a someone who has used Steem for over 3 years and ...

Re: MOTU Microbook IIc

I'm afraid I didn't manage to play much more. I did try it in Ardour 4 with Jack on Kubuntu 15.10, but that didn't seem to like it either. I've not actually had Ardour running in a while, so I need to look into that some time. If you want me to run anything to get more details of the Microbook then ...

Re: MOTU Microbook IIc

I happen to know someone who could lend me one. I have it plugged into my Kubuntu 15.04 system. That detects it and it shows up in Pulseaudio Volume Control as MicroBook IIC with the only option of Analog Surround 7.1 Output. No option for input. I've tried playing through it, but am just getting no...

Re: which usb audio interface?

Do we know for certain that the PCIe models don't work under Linux? Until/unless an enduser actually tries a particular audio device, no one knows for sure. Alsa devs don't document their work, the alsa database is inaccurate/ill-maintained, and lots of questionable assumptions are made (for exampl...

Re: Loads of xruns on M-Audio Delta 66

Just put the Delta back in my old PC where it works better. Zero xruns at 128 frames. It's a shame as the new PC is much quicker and quieter, but maybe there's some incompatibility with the motherboard. For reference the old PC has an Asus M2NPV-VM with AMD X2 4600. New one is Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3...

Re: Loads of xruns on M-Audio Delta 66

How do you actually identify "xruns"? I'm sure many newbies would like to know. There's an option in Ardour to add a marker when an xrun occurs. Could be useful if you only get a few to spot where you may have to edit to re-record a track. You also get a running count in qjackctl/Cadence ...

Re: Loads of xruns on M-Audio Delta 66

it seems that some program is using your card at 48000 khz you can use command lsof | grep /dev/snd to see what programs are accessing sound devices I'll have to try it again some time. When I run that on the new PC that doesn't have that card any more I see lots of results. Would it be the 'pcmC' ...

Re: Loads of xruns on M-Audio Delta 66

Not sure the card sample rate matters too much as starting Jack sets it to 44100 anyway. Just need to sort the xrun and distortion issues. For the distortion could it be overloading somewhere non-obvious? Mudita doesn't show anything red-lining? BTW I'm running 64 bit low-latency kernel Linux trilli...

Loads of xruns on M-Audio Delta 66

I've reported issues with my system a while back, but recently tried again. I was running Kubuntu 14.04, but have now installed Mint 17. Initially things seemed better with that. Before the card would always start at 48000 instead of 44100. Turning the interface off/on in Pulseaudio Volume would fix...

Re: SoundCloud Profiles.

I discovered SoundCloud a few years back when looking for somewhere to share recordings that non-technical people could use. I've got by with the free version. I just remove some old tracks if I run low on space. They have done a good job on developing the site to make it easy to use and it's become...
