Linuxmusicface=0 was ( Slab [Re: Audio Stuffffff] )
Hi debian, Well i have be searching about a long time for sound application. And i get to the conclusion that for musicans, linux is crap. Music people cannot do music on computer with this OP. I found this pretty bad. Here could exist very better app. that for win/Mac. Linux is much more free that those, then, there could be much more free application. And thats what musican (at least me) are searching for. Freedom for creations finnaly to end with my sound questions where can i find sound apps?? Well sorry for this questio, but what is GUS ?? GUS means Gravis UltraSound and is a sound card like the AWE 32. It is 'inclined' to play MOD files. I need to load soundbanks and create them too. Im searching for a program that can do edition of soundbanks... if someone knows about one please tell me... In the Debian awe-utils package I found some interesting programs: with them you can traslate soundbanks to/from textual representation and to/from gus-patches. I never tried it, but you should be able to edit the textual representation with an ordinary text editor and translate it back to the sfx format or use a gus-patch editor to modify your soundbank (but I am not much informed on such editors). Where have you downloaded it? ... maybe I can compile it and make a Debian package from it. Slab seems an interesting program. A Debian user recomend me this program. I forgot his name. but i didnt forgot the addres where i got slab, its at shareware music machine: http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Slab_Recording_Studio_Software/ Unfortunately it is shareware, and it is VERY big (over 2 Mb) for my VERY slow internet connection. PS: I cannot find information on thats ``ACI MIXER'' at the kernel configurartion...someone has? Whe i select this, sound initialization becomes very slow at my system... It seems to be a driver for the miroSOUND card, which enables full duplex. Sound initialization may be slow probably because the kernel tries to detect that card. For more info on it read the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/lowlevel/aci.c Ciao Michele I have check slab page again, and yes, its shareware :-( I will give awe-utils a try...

Freedom for creations I guess there aren't any musicians ouot there who want to write a music program for Linux. Maybe I will try my hand at it when I get better at programming. Any one else interested in giving it a try? finnaly to end with my sound questions where can i find sound apps?? I guess that depends on what sound card you have. There are several apps for certain cards (GUS, AWE). It also depends oon what you want to do. If you want to compose music, I believe that the only thing out there is a mod tracker, and I can't remember where that is. I'll see if I can track it down. --- Greg Starkes, Computing Communications, Memorial University of Newfoundland. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]www: http://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/

Perhaps there should be something on the debian site - where to find other software (including examples such as the above - i.e. packages recommended by debian users), and guidelines for installing them.

Freedom for creations Linux isn't the crap, you should be refering to the lack of applications that exist. If you need one so bad you should start a project to create one, join debian-devel., learn C, etc... That's how the Linux/GNU thing works, everyone pitches in. If you don't like it improve it!
