Hi Jaakko, Just wanted to say thanks for the patch which enables the backspace key to delete notes. It's working great on the Indamixx, so now seq24 users can have MIDI in their pocket :-) Cheers! Daniel

Hi Mira, Quentin has made a package, we'll get it into the testing branch. The problem with the current menu structure is that Sound & Video is a ridiculously broad category for what we do. Unfortunately, this classification is built into many Debian packages, so it's not easy to fix without breaking compatibility. Cheers! Daniel

Re: jkmeter

Quentin Harley — 2008-08-23T18:16:28

Good idea - I like it. I used alacarte to create a jellyfish scope entry for myself some time ago. command: /usr/bin/meterbridge -t jf x x This creates a jellyfish scope with 2 inputs, but not connected to anything. You can then connect it to hardware or application of your choosing using Jack Control (qjackctl) I'll check out the jk meter... Thanks, Quentin

Hello, I would like to suggest "jkmeter" for including in next release of 64studio. copy/paste from REDME file: "Jkmeter is a horizontal or vertical bargraph level meter based on the ideas of mastering guru Bob Katz. A K-meter displays both the true RMS level and the digital peak level. In this implementation the RMS meter is about 15% faster than an VU, but without the overshoot. This provides a good indication of subjective loudness." http://www.digido.com/bob-katz/level-practices-part-2-includes-the-k-system.html http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html [dependencies are available on the same page ... libclthreads (>= 2.4.0) and libclxclient (>= 3.6.1)] I would like also suggest item "meterbridge jellyfish" in Sound & Video menu. I think it is very important tool for mastering to check mono stereo compatibility and it would be nice to get it simply from menu. Commands can looks like this: meterbridge -t jf alsa_pcm:playback_1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 -n PHASEmeter meterbridge -t vu als

Hi Quentin, Sounds cool :-) While I doubt many people will have access to Internet2 any time soon, I think it could be useful over a local gigabit LAN. I'm curious to see how it compares to netjack. I noticed the same group has produced a Jack connections save/restore tool: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/groups/soundwire/software/jmess/ Cheers! Daniel

Thanks, Quentin! I never looked at that. I'm using 64Studio 2.1, running Gnome, and nothing special other than a few packages from Etch. Just about everything else seemed fine to me, so I never fiddled with the preferences or even thought about it:) Thanks again! -Susan

If you are running the gnome gui, go to: Gnome menu => Desktop => Preferences => Removable Drives and Media There you can change the default application you want to use. Cheers, Quentin

Is there a way to disable Sound Juicer from automatically starting when I put in a cd? I realize most people like the default behavior, but since I'd rather use K3B, I'd like to know how to do this, if it's possible. Thanks! -Susan

Daniel James — 2008-08-08T14:44:59

Hi Mike, > is there a "formal" process Not really, the original concept came from Free and I, and then people in the community suggest (or argue for inclusion of) their favourites. We do have a few ground rules though: 1. No packages with active software patent enforcement (e.g. lame). It's a major pain, but we can't risk a lawsuit. 2. If it's not Free Software, we'll only include the package if there's no practical alternative. Examples: alsa-firmware, flashplugin-nonfree 3. We don't include Mono, or any packages that use it, because I'm not personally convinced of the value of it, compared with the software patent risk of using a Microsoft technology. We don't use Java either, because of the licensing problems with Sun's runtime environment. I'd agree, we're following the development of Aqualung with interest.

Re: Contributing Packages?

Daniel James — 2008-08-08T13:14:04

Hi Quentin, hi Mike, That would be great! The pure:dyne distro has a packaging team that's been working on a lot of new audio and multimedia packages, so perhaps that's something we could emulate. Ideally, people who are interested in packaging should work towards being Debian Maintainers so that we can get as much stuff into official Debian as possible. That way, the packages get the widest possible testing and quality control, because of the size of the Debian and derivative userbase. ps. Deb Creator is at http://debcreator.cmsoft.net/ Cheers! Daniel

Re: Contributing Packages?

2008-08-08T09:46:27

Hi Mike, To build a deb file is not too difficult to do, but it is not arbitrary. The easiest way I have found to do it, it to use a application called Debcreator (Google it) It assists you in building the debianization of the package needed to build the deb successfully. If you manage to build it, perhaps we can test it and stick it on the apt.harleystudio.co.za repository for other 64 Studio users to share in the spoils of your labour... Cheers, Quentin
