https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/supply-chain-shortages-and-our-first-ever-price-increase/ it's intended to be a temporary price increase. I know. But what I meant is that the "normal" (non-Covid) price of a Pi is also higher. The Pi 4 can do much more than the Pi 1 (the 1 could barely ru...

qsynth and qsampler don't update with the repository for me (kubuntu 20.04), I think because of dependencies. qsynth needs libfluidsynth3 and I have libfluidsynth2 qsampler needs libgig10 and I have libgig9 On the Launchpad site there are more repo's than the 'Applications' repo. There's also 'Libr...

The Begringer U-Phoria series are class compliant and do not require a driver or configuration software. A quick glance at Tascam's web page on this device shows that it has it's own Win/Apple config utility. Dunno 'bout class compliance. A quick Google search by me did not provide any usable info e...

Thanks for the good work! For us Ubuntu users Mr. Capela himself (if I'm not mistaken) also has a repository on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~rncbc. Example to add it to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (= l ong t erm s upport) 'The Focal Fossa': sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rncbc/apps-focal sudo apt-get update ...

[...], not usable with playing midi keyboard. That pretty much takes the Live out of Ableton Live. Also, the question is: why use Linux if you need to run Windows/Apple software? I can understand that it's very handy to be able to run the odd Win app every now and then. But back in the day when I s...

This is awesome. Also, to get it working on a non-Raspberry Pi Debian linux machine you might need to install aconnect with the [ apt-get install alsa-utils] command no brackets. Thanks for the info. It would be nice if USB worked properly on a R. Pi Zero because that's even cheaper and smaller. Un...

@asbak: Great post. I think you made a little typo: you wrote "PipeWine", I think you meant "PipeWire" (might be a little confusing for a Linux Audio beginner).

[off topic] Thanks for the tips on calfjackhost . I think that the routing path that you posted requires me to make a separate bus for the route of the Calf plugin back into Qtractor. Because Qtractor in QJackctl's Connections window has only two in- & outputs: master stereo in/out. If I'm not m...

I realise it's not ideal but you can work around that problem by using the Calf Plugin Jack Host (it's a little application that installs with Calf's suite, not sure if it's in the old Calf build in KXStudio) or by using Carla as a host for plugins such as Calf in Reaper. Reaper, add Carla as an ef...

I'm not usually an advocate for closed software but the ease of installation & "get going" curve, stability & features with Reaper are such - compared to the alternatives - that it's hard to omit a mention. It's lightweight, things tend to work, most of the required features bases...

[...] What I think is going on is that the ALSA USB drivers were updated around kernel 5.11, and this update has broken the v-studio. I would think it will get fixed in a future kernel, but until then using the v-studio requires an older kernel. Not that I have such a sound card, but do the Alsa an...

The thing I learned to counter ask, when people ask me how hard it is to install Linux? Do you know how to install windows yourself? That a brilliant question, LOL! :mrgreen: I am guessing that at least 70% on the windows users do not know how to install windows themself. I think it's closer to 99....

Looks like a very nice synth. It's standalone and a VST3 plugin. No idea (yet) how to operate the filter's envelope generator though.

[...] Just, why when somebody accidentally unplug my sound device, when I put my computer in sleep mode by mistake, or when anything goes wrong with Jack do my computer finally freeze, forcing me to hard-reboot? Or why some class-compliant devices, even pro ones, give me so many xruns and some not?...

If it ain't broken don't try to fix it. So: no. You don't have to upgrade. You never have to upgrade anything if you don't have troubles. Updating is for Windows users because of viruses. Let's all pray virus programmers never "discover" Linux as a nice platform to attack.
