You're certainly not alone there - I think everyone finds it a mystery. OSS4 seems to be the most straightforward option, but has less hardware support than ALSA and looks to be more limited for music production - the licensing terms may also be a bit problematic for the major Linux distros. Once u...

Like some ppl might say... Backups? Nah... I prefer to live on the edge! I've been "playing" around with linux for the last 12 years or so... (personally and professionally) I think I can say I have a fairly good knowledge of how the system works... So I might take the chance of messing up my main s...

steve have you tried alsa to jack porting lib? I've managed to successfully use other non-jack-aware apps with jack that way... On debian you need to install libbio2jack0 (on ubuntu should be something similar), and then add something like this to your ~/.asoundrc pcm.!default { type plug slave { pc...

Thanks for the reply steve. I've never used pulseaudio, but maybe I should give it a try... I need JACK for idjc (internet dj console), a djing software I use for icecast streaming (and on-the-fly mixing). I also wish debian would upgrade jack version... they still using a very old version of it (ev...

I'm assuming here that you are a windows user... If by any chance you're a linux user I could think of a fancy way of recording pretty much anything using JACK . And after writing this I went to check JACK website and looks like they have a windows version now too... If you feel like spending some t...

Can you get to a larger hallway? In my appartment I think the living room would have the best acoustics for recording... unfortunately it has a lot of noise from the road outsite... (unless you don't mind listening to a car passing by every 5 seconds...) I have plans on going for a weekend at my pa...

I thought I'd post a full length song before we reached post #200... So here is something full-length... Not a very long piece though... I did two takes on it... both far from perfect... and no editing at all... On the first the mic was at about 35cm from 12th fret. On the second I pushed the mic ab...

<<<Sometimes this is also the kind of moment in the recording that you might hear my breathing...>>> There was a posting on the forum from someone looking for a way to filter all those out. Bad. Idea. Koz I don't want to filter it, just trying to avoid the source of it :P (well... avoid enough with...

I was looking at the spectrum plots with the settings at "size: 512" I changed to 16384 and all of a sudden there was so much more details, specially in the low freqs... I can see the light now :P hehe thanks! Newbie little mistakes here I guess... Reminds me of the first time I had to program a PIC...

This is where you get into the quiet room and expensive guy (in flip-flops and ponytail) in Hollywood doing the final mix on your show. He not using meters. That's what I was afraid of... I have a pair of flip-flops and I could let grow a ponytail... but I don't think I could educate my ears in suc...
