Re: Sound in SPACE audible??

If you were playing a piano in a vacuum then the vibrations would still travel through whatever it was standing on. If you put your space helmet against the piano you would be able to hear it as it made the air in your helmet vibrate. If you taped a microphone to the piano you could record it. Sound...

Re: New-comer

Welcome! Sounds like an interesting and challenging project. Your PC should be enough as people have done big projects with less memory than that. What sort of laptop is it? You say you need a mixer, but do you mean an interface? The Blackjack should work if it has enough inputs for you. I don't kno...

Re: Early Lessons from a Linux Audio Newbie

Wow, that's a pretty comprehensive post that taught me a few things.I'm also using KXStudio and liking it a lot. I've got a Zoom H4 that I was using as my interface before I got the Delta 66. Now I plug the aux out into the Delta so I can use the H4 microphones as I don't have any other good microph...

Re: Hello from Denmark

Welcome Frank. Always interesting to hear how people came to Linux. Many musicians don't realise there is an alternative to Win/Apple. We don't have as many apps and plug-ins to choose from, but there's probably enough for what many people need.

Re: Hello LinuxMusicians

Welcome to the forum. Care to tell us what sort of gear you have? We always enjoy that. Oh, and we'd love to hear some of your music :) As you into programming have you considered helping out on any of the Linux projects? I must admit that although I'm a professional developer (C# and Oracle PL/SQL)...

I'm guessing Linux won't be getting control of the DSP to start with unless the software runs on Wine.

Re: Any TouchOSC (or similar) users here?

I just found out about Ardroid that is specifically for controlling Ardour from an Android device. It's been around for over a year

Re: Hydrogen Help Again

If the 2nd is to the right of the 1st then it's the same pattern. Each line represents a pattern. If you want another pattern then you press the + next to Clear to create a new line/pattern.

Re: KXStudio installation saga

Okay, I was being dumb. It was a combination of muted outputs and me removing a vital part of the audio wiring recently. Sound is working perfectly :) Now I can get on with some experimenting. I have a track to record that I need to start on. I look forward to making use of all the cool tools. Thank...

Re: KXStudio installation saga

Main issue is a distinct lack of any sound. The volume control complains that pulseaudio is not running. I assume it should be. Do NOT use the regular sound mixer in Unity or XFCE, it's useless for JACK operation. Use 'volti', 'qamix', 'kmix' or even 'alsamixer' (cli tool). I tried using alsamixer ...

Ctrl-Alt-F1 wasn't working, so booted to recovery mode and got that to fix the packages. Then it booted properly. So now I have a shiny new desktop to play with. Installed nvidia to use my screens properly. Main issue is a distinct lack of any sound. The volume control complains that pulseaudio is n...

KXStudio installation saga

Firstly, I have installed KX before, back when it was a dedicated ISO based on Ubuntu 10.04 (I think), but I didn't actually use it much back then as it didn't seem quite ready for me. I've since been getting by with standard Kubuntu, but felt I was missing out on some of the cool new stuff. I want ...
