Re: getting my audio interface to connect

Linuxmusician01 So enter Jack. Jack is better, but must be configured (i.e. you need to make connections): it's not dummy-proof like Pulse. Pulse works out of the box. The easy alternative is to use a Linux distribution which already configures that for you (as well has the handful of other tweaks ...

Re: Drumgizmo takes long to start and makes a big ruckus when it does - know issue?

Nachei Crickets? Must I understand nobody is experiencing this issue? I'm afraid I haven't used DG in anger for a couple of years: my need was for something less fiddly (not to knock DG at all!) Maybe moving this post to the dedicated DrumGizmo sub-forum would get more traction: https://linuxmusici...

Re: SSL Big6 routing works in Ubuntu Studio but not AV Linux

Bransby I Moved to AV Linux as I found it to be far more stable than Ubuntu Studio where Plasma crashes on me all the time, it'd be a real shame if I have to move away from AV Linux because of this issue. Anyone got any ideas? What kernel versions are running on each bootable OS? You state that you...

Re: [SOLVED] How do I play Dore Mark's Yamaha S6

amc252 I must be missing something 'cause I installed sfizz on Devuan and it only works from the command line in text mode. I don't see any GUI. Could you please explain how you get the GUI in the screenshot? IIRC, sfizz doesn't have a GUI when run in standalone mode from the command line: the only...

Re: [Solved] Pipewire interfering with JACK

oddy.o.lynx sunrat Seems like a hassle to stop/start it. I just leave the pulseaudio-jack sink active all the time. that will produce xruns when recording in real time, this is one reason why by default on a Linux Audio Production computer it's best to mask PulseAudio In my experience, leaving Puls...

Re: When is enough, enough..?

j_e_f_f_g I guess this is pointless, but here I go anyway. There are perfectly valid "pro-audio" usecases which cannot be satisfied by ALSA's "exclusive mode" design: I want to noodle with keyboard sounds, using a MIDI-driven app (Pianoteq) which e.g. records those noodles for l...

Re: Continuing the jack/pipewire debate...

He has already made changes to his original plan to try to better accommodate us and our needs. Exactly! On a marginal-to-the-mainstream platform (for our use-cases) like Linux, havin...

Re: Updated list of Linux compatible audio interfaces

Linuxmusician01 The rate at which a computer samples audio, i.e. takes a sample (some sort or measurement or "snapshot") of the intensity of a signal (sample rate) is not a wave. It's not a frequency like that from a wave. So the math may be right, the reasoning behind it is not. If you d...

Re: Changing Sample Rate In Jack - How To?

@rickpress When running QJackCtl, after changing the settings to the sample rate you desire, do you then use it to start Jack?

AFAIK, Waveform 12 should use the sample rate of the already-running Jackd: you shouldn't see an option to set the sample rate in that case.
