Re: Ubuntually challanged

Hey Slacker... You have made your first vital discovery and I think you are well on your way on your 'Doze recovery. My first problems on Linux also had absolutely nothing to do with the Operating System, and everything to do with the BIOS. It just goes to show, Windows does not properly interface w...

Re: what is 64bit processor?

Absolutely. Now we just have to wait for the others to catch up. or, just use the native tools. I only installed wine again a few days ago to run a micro controller compiler, only available for windoze.

Re: what is 64bit processor?

I remember reading an email from the Jack development list stating that jackd 64bit will accept 32bit hosts soon (or already) making the leap from 32 to 64 bit possible.

Re: what is 64bit processor?

if you have a 64bit processor you will get better performance out of it running 64bit code. The main reason behind this is the ability to fetch a command in only one cycle, in stead of one or two for 32bit. I saw a marked improvement CPU usage wise when I could finally move to 64bit Linux for audio....

Re: Mastering - Ok getting there now.

How is your setup, how do you manage the volume of each monitor (monitor=speaker, right?)? How do you manage this well? I use powered monitors, and they have individual volume controls at the back. This should be the same if you use passives with a monitor amp, because each channel should be indivi...

Re: Mastering - Ok getting there now.

http://www.64studio.com/howto-mastering This is one of the ways to do it right. Remember that music is unique, and that mastering is also specific to a certain piece of music. There exist "presets" but there are no "one size fits all solutions. It's actually one size fits one, and in ...

Re: linuxDSP LV2 Plugins

Thanks. Tested it on 2.8.3 in 64studio 3.0 and it works great.

Just a month to late though :wink:

I had a online colab going and it would have saved me a bit of effort...

Keep them coming!

Re: Harrison's Ardour2 Mixbus

Yes, I like using GPL software as well. This add-on would be like a piece of hardware in my studio, to make life just a bit easier. This forum is called "LinuxMusicians" is it not? Anyway, it seems Harrison is devising a way to bring their product to the Linux platform. I'll drop a note if...

Harrison's Ardour2 Mixbus

This is something that OSX's users gained that would be very nice indeed if it could be implemented in Ardour for Linux. http://ardour.org/node/3011 Any budding DSP programmers out there that wants a challenge if Harrison cannot come up with a Linux version of the Mixbus channel strip? PS: I would p...

Re: How to play credible banjo section :-)

The definition of a gentleman, is a man that knows how to play the banjo, but refrains from doing so :wink: Banjo, like ukulele, is best played on the instrument itself, because of the duality of the sound quality. I know this is not of much help to you... See if you can find a real banjo player on ...

Re: Why Linux for Audio

There were a lot of small problems in the 2.8.2 GUI that caused problems for first time users, notably from users coming from the non-free DAW world. One of the forum members, while being a little abrasive, tipped Paul and Ben Loftis off to many of these issues. Old ardour users are oblivious to the...
