Re: Zebralette 3

Re: Zebralette 3

It is stunningly deep and rich. If a free single oscillator synth with no filter can sound this good I can't wait to hear what Zebra 3 will be capable of. So I have an incredibly ignorant question, but my dad once told me those are the ones worth asking the most. This is a synth, right? It creates…...

Re: arch alternatives

This causes a whole heap of it's own problems. In theory this does make sense but the reality is that Manjaro has a rich history of questionable decisions and people's machines being broken because of version incompatibilities which weren't fully investigated by the team. Oh and the SSL certificate...

Re: arch alternatives

Reaper isn't in the official repos as such. It's in the AUR -- the Arch user repository . The official repos are always up to date, perhaps too much for some people. I regularly update my kernel, and in the four years I've been using Arch, updating my kernel has messed up my system twice. It's easi...

Zebralette 3

The folks over at U-he have released a public beta for Zebralette 3. It is stunningly deep and rich. If a free single oscillator synth with no filter can sound this good I can't wait to hear what Zebra 3 will be capable of. Much discussion and details over at KVR. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/view...

wow thank you so much for this. Was getting annoyed switching away from Reaper and trying to get anything else to play.

Happy to help!

Re: Is there an easy way to restart the sound card in AvLinux MXE?

The issue seems to be my USB interface not resetting correctly when stopping jack. I found the usbreset utility. For my card I do the following: sudo usbreset 001/004 Your USB bus number will be different. I wish there was a way to do it without sudo but alas. You're in luck, there's a way to do th...

Re: For those experiencing distortion and crackles after stopping jack on USB interfaces

Nice, that totally works! Thanks sunrat and LAM . I hadn't understood it's implementation correctly. I've successfully added it to my post shutdown script in qjackctl also. I also had been setting my cpugovernor with a script but have now integrated both enabling performance mode on jack startup and...

Re: For those experiencing distortion and crackles after stopping jack on USB interfaces

Cool, I tried this last night but it wouldn't work. I think it's because my user file is also in the admin group if I understand things correctly. I also tried putting it in a file in /etc/sudoers.d with the same result. It always asks for the password. I think this is the right approach though if ...

Re: For those experiencing distortion and crackles after stopping jack on USB interfaces

I'd be really happy if someone knows a way to do it without sudo privileges so I could add it to my qjackctl post shutdown script though. You may be able to add a custom line in /etc/sudoers file to run that command with NOPASSWD option. For example, I have one to run cpupower to change CPU governo...

Re: For those experiencing distortion and crackles after stopping jack on USB interfaces

This solved a problem that has been with AvLinux MXE for the past year or so. Also works when returning to the desktop from Ardour or Mixbus 32C after using ALSA Behringer U-phoria UMC202HD For some reason RME UFX+ and 802 don't need anything but work directly without resetting. Thanks a lot I'm gl...

For those experiencing distortion and crackles after stopping jack on USB interfaces

I found a workaround to this problem that I and others have been experiencing with USB interfaces not coming back to life correctly after stopping jack. The symptoms are distorted, quiet, and crackly audio after stopping jack. I don't fully know the cause. I suspect the interface isn't reverting to ...

Re: Is there an easy way to restart the sound card in AvLinux MXE?

Is there an easy way to restart the sound card in AvLinux MXE? When I exit the Mixbus 32C program, there are crackles in e.g. spotyfy or youtube sounds. Restarting the machine has fixed the situation so far. This is going way back but I found a way to to this if it is still persisting for you. The ...

Re: Spitfire Audio and EastWestbplugin experience with Yabridge and Wine

What's your video card and which drivers are you using with it? A lot of nvidia cards will only have vulkan/dxvk support with the proprietary driver.
