Re: which usb audio interface?
steevc: Thanks for updating the wiki. If I buy one then I'll update it with more details. capoeira: Seeing as you mention FFADO the device(s) you recommend must be firewire and the OP specifically requested USB and cheap. jeff: As I've just reminded Cap.,the OP is asking about "USB and cheap&qu...

Re: which usb audio interface?
That edirol with 'advanced' ALSA support has already been noted to be discontinued, the RME UCX is way out of most hobbyists price range (plus I don't think anyone here has confirmed this does work as well as we might hope with JACK/Linux anyway - big gamble) and I've just noticed that the LM wiki m...

OSM podcast
What happened to it? It used to have a new show every month or two but its been about 8 months now without a new show.
I expect some (all?) of its hosts read this forum so it'd be nice if they can give us an update. I suspect real life has got in the way yet again - pesky existance strikes once more!

Re: [ANN] Qtractor 0.5.6 - The Golf Tango release!
Great stuff! This codename sounded way too much like a car so I just had to check that there wasn't a VW Golf Tango model. There is an electric car called Tango but no Golf Tango. Who knows - maybe there are a few qtractor users at VW who may become inspired by this latest release? Crazier stuff has...

Its not a plugin but a good alternative to JAAA for a JACK analyser / scope is http://baudline.com/

Re: Scarlett 2i2
Hi aeb105! Thanks - thats good to hear you hear goodness! I think I'll push the boat out and go for the 2i4 to satisfy my port fetish. Of course you can use your MIDI keyboard with Linux if its USB or you have a MIDI port somewhere to plug it into. Its recommended you use a2jmidid to do so if you ne...

Re: Scarlett 2i2
Having done a little more reading into this, the general concensus seems to be the focusrite devices have better pre-amps and there is also the Scarlett 2i4 which fixes the main complaint about the 2i2 in that it has a 'mix' dial plus MIDI IN/OUT, TRS + phono outputs so it looks like that'd be my be...

Re: EP recorded in Linux
Hi Eric! So you get better latency under Linux? OK, I'll let you off this time then! ;) I would suggest you give qtractor another ago in about a month or so as Rui has promised to implement some suggestions I made which will mean most people won't have to manually create and assign input buses after...

Re: Scarlett 2i2
Hi aeb105! I want to get a USB audio input device for use with Linux and it seems to be down to the 2i2 vs Fast Track Pro - if the Fast Tracks are still available that is. It seems you finally got the 2i2 to work with JACK right? Have you tried recording from both inputs simultaneously? How does the...

Re: Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook for Linux users
I created a similar sized qtractor session to my Ninja Step 2012 last night but using the most recent DISTRHO TAL-Noisemaker 64-bit VST plugins instead of Aspect instances and it seems Aspect is about 4x more efficient on CPU than Noisemaker which means you should be able to get 4x as many tracks.

Re: Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook for Linux users
I too have never had any real luck with fmit, or at least I never got it working in a way I liked or found usable. I've not tried Cedrics new tuner which does sound nice as I'm perfectly happy with gxtuner. It would be quite cool to have the same tuner on my phone as on my 'proper' Linux machines th...

Re: First impressions of MusE 2.0
"I actually have plans to make my own sequencer, but first I have to finish other things. I don't want to give out any info because it might simply not happen due to lack of time." What will your new sequencer do that qtractor, Muse and A3 etc can't? Why not just add / fix up whatever you'...

Ninja Step 2012
Ninja Step 2012 NS2012 is a remake of 'Ninja Step' which is the background music from the factory stage of Super (or 'Revenge of') Shinobi. This represents my first project using Aspect and samplv1 and its my second ever qtractor production. I used no FX plugins because its dry sound makes it sound ...

Re: First impressions of MusE 2.0
falktx says he's "still learning how to handle VSTs properly" which may well be so but Aspect seems to run perfectly under Carla and that is very likely the most advanced and powerful VSTi for Linux so I wouldn't worry much about borrowing what you can from Carla's VST code for use in MusE.

Re: The second coming of the Vee One prototypes
Rui reproduced my bug which he tells me occured with both samplv1 and synthv1 when you had more than one LV2 instance of either in a session. Famed and reliable bug killa that he is I am happy report this seems to be fixed in svn mere hours after I highlighted the critter! Thanks for the rapid respo...
