Re: Plugins for the layman
I'll apologize up front I don't have an easy recipe for you. My answer is similar to all above answers, in that, I give you tips. What it boils down to is I don't think anybody has really developed anything like that in the Linux/Free Software environment in a way that can be compared to the consume...

Re: Rakarrack - Completely unusable
I apologize (sort of) that us Rakarrack devs have dropped off the scene. It is hard to find time in my last 2 years, and only gets more busy, so I can't make any promise of rapid development on Rakarrack. It will probably eek forward unless some other developers take the torch and move forward. I wi...

Re: Linux Vocoders
Another Vocoder I came across some time ago is the Snokoder. As far as vocoders go, it is really good, but a bit limited in that it synthesizes its own carrier, and has no option of inputting your own carrier signal. The input to Snokoder is MIDI. As far as I know, nobody distributes a snokoder bina...

Re: Is LUBUNTU a suitable option for audio-recording tasks?
I would like to record 48Khz/32bits.FP; but this message: "...ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 16bit little-endian..." states that Im not getting 32bitFP signal incoming, isnt it? How could I do to get 32bitFP signal at recording?. The value reported as 16-bit is the resolu...

Re: Is LUBUNTU a suitable option for audio-recording tasks?
For metal sounds, you may also want to try out Guitarix. With some experimenting I have found some very nice and pleasing amp sounds. As for Rakarrack, I am one of the developers for the project so I can authoritatively agree that Rakarrack is not geared toward metal by design (not on purpose, it ju...

Re: Rackarrack noise
Just to clear this up -- Rakarrack does not MAKE noise, nor does Guitarix. Depending on the presets you will have noise from both Guitarix and Rakarrack if you have noise coming from your sound card. Some presets are very very high gain, and it amplifies the noise that is already there. If you are m...

Re: HEAVY Guitar tone in Rakarrack...
Have you looked at 'aubio notes', in regard to midi triggering from within Rakarrack? It works pretty well for 1/8th notes playing mono patches from a synthesizer, it might be a nice integration into rakarrack and or guitarix. How is your snow shovel holding out :) I played with aubio notes once. I...

Re: UniVibe
I know this is an old post, but I am browsing the forum today. The Vibe was added to Rakarrack for 0.6.2 release. For the technically inclined, I calculated the continuous-time frequency response for each phase stage, then used the bi-linear transform to map it to a system of digital filters. If you...

Re: Rakarrack and live guitar processing (bass)
I use Rakarrack for live performance. I use a Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controller...because I use delays a lot, having tap tempo is the main reason I like having a MIDI controller... well it is also nice for turning FX on/off. I use a music stand for the computer -- not a good solution if you're ...

Re: HEAVY Guitar tone in Rakarrack...
I do say +1 for Guitarix, for the amp-like sounds. However, I can sympathize with the original poster who is not a techie and wants presets that give a good starting point. As for the original question, I can offer some help on Rakarrack (since I am one of the developers): I assume you have version ...

Re: Audio Interface for Guitar/Mic?
I want to thank all of you for the great replies. I am so frustrated with the lack of Linux Support. I forgot to mention I also have a Behringer UCA-202.... :D The UCA-202 works out of the box for me. Due to the low input impedance (standard 600-ohm audio interface) you need a buffer/preamp of some...

Re: Making it mainstream.
I think I have to agree with Louigi on this one. I don't have a vision for any free operating system to go mainstream. There would be some perks to us who use Linux audio if it did: Likely what would happen is one OS would be the flagship bloated public-friendly standard distribution, then everybody...

Re: Myriad of problems....
Hummmmm... It really sounds like maybe you have things going to other sources...where maybe there is some playback to another place that is coming onto the speakers...or maybe Wet/dry mix on vocoder not set minimum? Maybe I said set to '0' above, but really I think it is -64, all the way to the left...

Re: Myriad of problems....
You should be able to operate at 128 frames per period if RT is enabled and everything is well otherwise. This will get you down to 5ms latency at 48000 sample rate. As for Vocoder, I wonder if you're doing it backwards or something ... ? Zynaddsubfx-> Rakarrack In_1 and In_2 Voice -> Rakarrack Aux ...

Re: Myriad of problems....
FYI Convolotron set at a normal sample rate (say 48000) with IR length of 100ms will keep a dual core busy...and that's assuming both cores are being used as well as SSE optimizations and so on. At 200 points it will even crash a quad-core. However, Reverbtron won't crash a dual core...it's quite a ...
