LinuxMusicians

Let us hear some of your music when you have something to show off! Well my all time fav piece of music is Ricochet by Tangerine Dream followed by Stratosfear which they released straight after. They veered away from that style then & I've had an itch for more ever since & I finally decided...

Well thanks Guys - but you all gave me a lot help. I was following your guidance (& a tutorial) for most of it. Still a bit flattery Is a most welcome thing just now, so I'll accept it with pleasure. Cheers!

Hoooo does it work does it not? The answer is ... I think so. Doing as you say laptop boots fine with unit attached, light is off. Had brief moment when the tutorial command Usx2yloader returned No command 'Usx2yloader' found , but this was appended with did you mean: Command 'usx2yloader' from pack...

and it will work in Linux. Famous last words. I get the strong feeling I'm just not meant to be using this Tascam. you already downloaded the alsa-firmware archive with wget Not exactly I had downloaded alsa-firmware but not with wget but from a link Linuxmusicain01 had given me & I'd saved it ...

Damn for sure. Thanks for going this far with me It's more appreciated than I care to explain - I extend this to everyone who's contributed. I've rechecked my package manager & there is only alsa-firmware-loaders. Incidentally in the infamous tutorial 1 I note that none of the 8 packages it says...

Sorry for taking so long struggling to find time to do everything I want/need to do. Some progress has at last been made yae! but fell at the last hurdle - boo. I followed your instructions for fxload . I noted the bus /device numbers were now 001/007. Device No. usually changes each time I disconne...

Thanks for the homework list. I think you're right & it's time I tackled this & gain a bit more knowledge. I'll keep notes too as I so seldom need to add anything not in the package manager. Merlyn: I've renamed the files as you said by removing .txt & I've run the find commands as per p...

Cripes how do I reply to all that ! I'll have a bash. I'm not blaming anyone for trying to help me - I asked for it (oh boy did I?). Realize that playing via the computer and recording on a computer are two completely different things! No I didn't I do now. Have you never in the 90's or early 2000's...

He is referring to what I did earlier : ran this anyway : sudo usx2yloader & got : usx2yloader: no US-X2Y-compatible cards found Not a problems as there's an instruction for this - so I ran : sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader /lib/firmware/usx2yloader But got this : ln: failed to c...

crossed postings here. Does that explain my results in post just after Merlyn's?

I was just about to mention the file exists thing. I'll see what your commands return. Well i find this a bit creepy. After hitting return for find / -name tascam_loader.ihx i was asked for my password which i entered. There was a very long pause (presumably while it searched every file on my HD). I...

I can't find an emojee here for tearing your hair out. You sure know how to confuse a guy. khz: I take it you are talking about built in obsolescence. Tascam are not unique in that. I was just thinking of that the other day - based on what is happening here. I realized anything that depends on updat...

OK thanks. Yes, I'm not experienced at c/l - how did you tell...

I clicked your 'here' link & got a dialogue box asking to open/save alsa-firmware-1.0.29.tar.bz2 so i saved it to a folder in one of my 'home' folders. I take it that's what you had in mind & not use the c/l wget.

Still out of luck here. I checked the 8 packages from that list against those showing in my package manager & made sure that all have been installed (via package manager). With the tascam USB'd to my laptop went to the C/L instruction : cd usx2yloader/ & got: No such file or directory (if I ...

I've installed that from my package manager & nothing happened. Unless there are subsequent steps? I steered away from this tutorial because : "NOTE: The Ubuntu Studio should be setup before continuing on with this tutorial. " & "It should add that the Ubuntu Studio was setup ...
