Re: [Rosegarden-user] Serious MIDI recording problem -fixed - ish!
A bit of a ramble here - stay with me guys :) Last week, I screwed up an update on my 'office' machine so badly that the only sensible option was a re-install. However, because of the problems I've been having I decided to install Squeeze, instead of Wheezy. For Rosegarden I got the 13164 svn, and there was no problem with hearing played notes. I then took the compiled image down to my music machine and lo and behold exactly the same! In puzzlement I fetched the same source version and compiled it on that machine (running Wheezy). Once again, the problem seems to have disappeared - although still need to specify qtlibdir. My best guess is that one of the updates I also did has fixed some qt problem, as nothing else had changed. Looking around the two systems I notice that Squeeze has /usr/lib usr/lib32 and a symlink usr/lib64 that points back to /usr/lib. However, Wheezy has /usr/lib and *inside* that is x86_64-linux-gnu. I don't want to mess about really, but I'm wondering if adding /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to PATH might resolve the config issue, and also correct some anomalies I have with programs that use the boost lib. However, back to Rosegarden. I've found two more new (I think) problems. In the matrix window it used to be possible to have the velocity ruler showing, then select a group of notes and change the velocity of the all of them by dragging one of the velocity tabs up and down. If I try that now, just the note related to that tab changes and the group selection goes odd. This is not a show-stopper, but it was very nice for adding or changing the dynamics of a track. The other problem which is quite new, is the behaviour of the volume control in the 'special parameters' box. If you adjust this while the transport is stationary nothing happens! If, on playback or record you adjust it on a track that has a segment playing, it seems to work normally. If you adjust it on a track that you have selected for MIDI input but doesn't actually have a segment running at that time (you're playing live) it again does nothing. Very strange. Putting control changes in a track seems to work OK, so this again is not a show-stopper, just a nuisance. Anyway, enough of all this, and for some light relief, here is a track I recorded not too long ago... 100% Rosegarden+Yoshimi, Oh, and real guitar at the end :) http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Mystery.ogg -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

I think pretty much everybody on a 64-bit system has to specify the path manually now, including me. Debian changed its architecture, and the changes propagated through all the derivative distros, like Ubuntu. I looked at tweaking the build system, and I ended up just writing the new configure command in a shell script instead. Git'r done. Anyway, I'm quite at a loss too why you would be seeing a problem I'm not, but I don't have time just at the moment to compare notes on library versions and other such. Did you try deleting your userland configuration files and starting fresh? Tehom and I agreed it sounds like your problem could be as simple as a malfunctioning configuration setting. Changing Qt versions does cause compatibility problems with the configuration file from time to time. The window position stuff has been particularly troublesome in this regard. -- D.

It's beginning to look as if there is something borked in my installation of the debian wheezy build environment. I can't now recompile the old versions that used to work (good job I kept the images)! I did an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy on the old machine (that I now use for office work) and that is now showing exactly the same problems. I don't know if it's relevant but in synaptic there is itemised gcc 4.4.7-2 and qt 4:4.8.2+dfsg-2 Also, I now have to use ./configure --with-qtlibdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu I never needed to do that before, so that suggests something is quite wrong. I'm quite at a loss here. I don't know if the build environment of squeeze is different or if I've miss configured it - I find that unlikely. In the first instance I did the install exactly as I had before but with wheezy instead of squueze, and in the second machine, I simply followed the debian upgrade instructions. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

It sounds so much like un-checking the MIDI through checkbox, but you say that's not it, so I'm stumped. Tom Breton (Tehom) -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

Pinned this down a bit more. It's exactly the same as if you've un-checked MIDI through routing in earlier versions.

[Rosegarden-user] Serious MIDI recording problem
This occurs with git builds 12920 & 13099 It doesn't occur with 12726 or earlier. When an external MIDI source is feeding into Rosegarden, the incoming events are shown in the transport window, and if the transport is running on record the material is correctly laid down, but the MIDI messages are not passed through to the output, so there is no sound. Stop and replay the freshly recorded track and everything sounds correctly. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
