Hi I set up jack for the alesis & then added the soundcard. I would not relish trying to sync tracks after 2 passes. I do not think the cassette transport is that reliable & minor variations mean you could be on to a hiding to nowhere. Ultimately 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating' &...

Just managed to use this to record four simultaneous tracks in Ardour (Stereo drum machine, guitar Vocals)

The only other thing I needed to do was connect the on board soundcard to the system playback using qjackctl to get monitor (through the usb soundcard) while playing.

Since asking managed to find this:

now have 4 inputs showing in qjackctl after running
in a terminal. Have yet to be able to try it out with the 4 track.

Hi I have some old 4 track cassette work I would love to remix & remaster. the problem is I neither have nor can afford a 4 track interface. I have an Alesis io2usb soundcard as well as a 24 bit capable soundblaster. I have Googled but not found anything I can comprehend or use. Is there any way...

If you want to do it the GUI way you can do it with VLC. Just choose convert/save from the media menu & use the options there. It offers mp3 or flac.

If you dislike pulse audio, I think you will find AVLinux makes a point of not having it.

Hi As kind of a sequel, thanks Pablo I didn't know that. Having said that I do find using the export facility on Hydrogen & importing the resultant audio in to Ardour easier. Even more interesting is that Hydrogen will export the different parts of the kit as separate files, so you can import th...

I regularly use Ubuntu Studio on a keypen (for indoor use, not live I must add) and it performs quite well. If you use unetbootin to install it to the pendrive it can create a file (casper-rw) that will store your changes, so you can install the software you need if it is not part of the basic packa...

Hi

From the command line use the alsactl command to save the alsamixer state. On my ('buntu based) system you need to be root so I use:

I am not familiar with Gentoo but do I understand correctly that emerge automatically downloads & compiles the application for you? Have you tried manually downloading the package from the programmers site http://web.comhem.se/luna/ and compiling it yourself to see if that works? There is a 'Rea...

Do check your install is configured for real time properly. I had an install of Ubuntu studio a while back that wasn't, even though in live mode it was fine before & after the install. I don't know why, just fixed it myself & got on with it. I did have a creative card that could be a bit tou...

I do not know enough to enumerate your error messages but from experience I know what I have successfully done in the past when an app segfaults on me: 1) Try & get a different package of it & uninstall the one you are using & try that instead. 2) If the above fails try getting the sourc...

I have used muse for a long time. I must admit using ardour for audio these days but Muse would still be my first port of call for midi or integrated midi/audio. Aesthetics aside, I have always found the interface intuitive. The integration of soundfont support via fluidsynth was always a big plus f...

Hi danboid. I am down on the Kent coast near Dover. Muse does support DSSI synths & LADSPA plugins. It was also the closest to cubase, which is where I came from, so in those days it was the obvious choice. I am on the mailing list & will raise LV2. I do have 'Home Studio Recording for dummi...

Hi I am an experienced Linux user & musician but a newbie here. I am mainly a lead guitarist & songwriter, been playing since 1976. I play other instruments enough to bluff my way through a few multi tracked parts. I started Multi tracking on an old tape 4 track. It was trying to get a decen...
