View 3 RepliesI want to be able to open a file (support for .mp3 and .ogg a must) and add effects, change pitch and tempo, add beats (either default or midi created), mix with other songs (or clips from), be able to change levels of the high/mid/low, alter gain and frequencies ... all that fun stuff.
programs I already have are:
MixXx
LMMS (Linux MuliMedia Studio)
mhWavedit
-and-
gAlan
And it doesn't seem that any of those have the features I am looking for. I am running Zorin OS 4 (ubuntu 11.04 based) and Dreamlinux 3.5 (debian- unsure which release) on a fujitsu lifebook 5 series - S6240 (it's kinda old 2005).
i have been using [URL].. for a long time on windows. i like playing around with it and creating music. is there any app like reason for ubuntu? i am looking for a tool with many functions
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a music player that has the functionality of Windows Media Player. That is, a player that would search for music all over the file system (like Picasa does for images), and would work conveniently with folder structure - so I would drag an entire folder into the window and the player would create a playlist of it. I have Ubuntu, if it matters.

Problem: In order to get the sound to play on my system I have to go to PulseAudio Device Chooser and select default server,sink, etc. every login. I thought it was suppose to change it "permanently" , getting more specific here, when ever I play music in vlc I tend notice gaps/skips in my music very short skips .5 to 1 second sometimes 2 - 3, just now I was playing music flipping through some tracks then I am greeted with a nasty sound I cannot describe. Does anyone have a proper fix for this? Only result I came upon I have not tried yet was something with hda intel sound card and power settings, which feel will not work anyway
Here is my sound card: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Also not to mention, I use to get pop-ups notifying me of pulseaudio device not being to be found and asked to forget this device
I read somewhere that it's not a good idea to mix the use of apt-* (eg. apt-get, apt-file, etc.) and "aptitude". I guess they're not using the same database to keep track of things.Problem is, they don't offer the same features:"apt-get safe-upgrade" doesn't exist, so have to use "aptitude safe-upgrade"."aptitude show/list mypackage" doesn't show the files that an uninstalled package (ie. still in depot) contains, so have to use "apt-file show mypackage".

First though I just wanted to check that I could partition off the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the 2TB drive (leaving 1.5TB or more free) and install Debian to that part, then use the remainder of the disk in combination with the 2x 1.5 TB drives in RAID 5? i.e. can you mix whole drives and with partitions from other drives in RAID 5 and/or is it best to just stick with complete drives for the RAID array?I only have room for 3 drives in the small mATX case that houses my NAS device and I want to maximise storage capacity and minimise expense.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't want to screw up my system, but I need newer versions of packages then the ones in the apt repos. What is the community consensus on the best way to mix apt package management with building bleeding edge packages from source?
Should I build the source into a package and install it with apt? Should I avoid make install?
I would also like to be able to use multiple versions of the same package, and have some sort of sym link or something to determine which version gets executed.
A while ago I reinstalled Ubuntu on my PC when I felt that Windows was about to give up. I'm glad I did. A lot of the applications I had on my Mac had equivalents on Linux, I was delighted and I haven't been needing Windows at all.
Up until recently everything was working fine, but now I think Linux is mixing up my Sound Card with my TV Tuner. When I call someone using Skype, it ends up airing white noise, however, if I've watched TV prior to that, it ends up airing the sound from whatever channel I was watching last. If I turn on the video calling function (despite the fact that I haven't got any webcam plugged in) it ends up airing video from that same channel.
It just started doing this randomly, and as I did some experiments, I discovered that it does this with all audio-input applications. (Sound Recorder etc,)
So I installed Pulseaudio device manager, and I discovered that my soundcard isn't listed under output devices.
This may be due to a case (non-)sensitivity issue. I have two subfolders on the mail server called "Spam" and "spam". On the mail server (Dovecot), these are directories ".INBOX.Spam" and ".INBOX.spam". The issue I am seeing is that the information shown in the index area of Evolution's window has, for some mail, information that belongs to other mail in the other folder. But when I click on that line, I see the corresponding correct email that should be in that position.
Because this happens to be spam, I just went ahead and trashed everything in one of the folders. That one action trashed everything in both folders.Is there a way to tell Evolution to dismiss everything it thinks it knows about the state of mail on the mail server and re-acquire it all? Or could this be an IMAP server issue with Dovecot?
I currently have a mirror raid array with 2x 1TB HD's (Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS SATA). They are both the standard 512 byte sector HD's. I just ordered a new 1TB Hard Drive (Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EARS SATA) as I want to wipe the current mirror raid and use the 3 disks in a raid 5 array.
But to my suprise, the new 1TB HD is an "advanced format" HD with 4k byte sectors... Am I screwed or can this 4k byte sector HD be used in a software raid 5 array along with the 512 byte sector hard drives?
(The WD hard drive says you can jumper it to work with XP which can only use 512 byte sectors... there's also a utility you can run that does something to make it compatible with XP too.... Makes me wonder if these new drives are backwards compatible?)
I have Ubuntu Server 8.04 (LTS) installed and running well, but there a few packages that I'd like to upgrade, without upgrading the entire system (e.g, apache2). Is it possible to include both the Hardy (8.04) and Lucid (10.04) distributions in sources.list? Is that even safe? By the same token, can I add a Maverick repo to my list? I'm using "apache2" as an example, but this is more of a general question.
How should situations like this usually be handled, when only a select few packages would profit from an upgrade that resides in a different Ubuntu release?
On a similar note, is it possible to install two different versions of the same package using the APT tools? Let's say I want two different versions of php5 -- how would I go about doing that?
We recently bought an i7 X58 server with 6 memory slots. Since it was cheaper, we opted to get the min memory configuration with the machine (3x1Gb) and then buy 3x4Gb separately. It seems a shame to waste the 3Gb, so I'm wondering how to "mix" the memory without sending everything into single channel mode. The information I've read is rather confusing, and often contradictory.
View 1 Replies View RelatedStarting over, based on this thread: [URL] And my problem which is the same! I have the same audio chipset and experienced the same issues. I hope there is nothing about that chip. I tried with XFCE4 on Slackware 13.1 and now KDE4 on Debian, I found a workaround on XFCE by installing gstreamer and using it instead of xine as the phonon backend. That workaround apparently doesn't work on KDE.
Something interesting (also in the original thread): Software mixing through alsa DOES work since I can play several files in aplay (command line) or xine (gui standalone) simultaneously. I don't have another soundcard. Should I install pulseaudio anyway? Switching to OSS ?
Why are the 'defense' method calls actually using the 'offense' methods.Also, is there a way to remove the commented base classes for 'Player' so that the casting isn't necessary?

How is this supposed to work out? I noticed some distros are really good about recognizing your other linux distros and some not. They keep recognizing windows, but not other linux distros. Also, I have run into a few problems when my operating systems were on different hard drives. I have my operating systems running from a small 250gb laptop hard drive with special mounting and am using my TB hard drive for internal storage /data.However, my last attempt at installing a linux partition on the TB hard drive with Windows and another linux partition on the laptop hard drive didnt work out so well. Updating grub via the command line didnt sort this out. Sudo su root Apt-get update grub (or grub update) or whatever didnt work before when I tried it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI understand it is not generally a good idea to mix 13 and 13-current packages but I am installing OpenProj which requires JDK and the installed JRE (6-18) is up-level from 13's JRE (6-16) and back-level from the 13-current JDK (6-19). Presumably JRE and JDK should be at the same level. Would it be better to take both JRE and JDK to 13-current (6-19) or to take both to 13 (6-16)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure mpd (music player daemon) to access my music files that are stored on a windows server (NAS).
In the mpd configuration file I have to point to the directory in which the music is.
How do I do that? Is it something to do with mount?
I have no sound after upgrading to 11.04. Sound control panel and test speakers emits no sound. The new music player won't play sounds from music CDs either.

I use mt-daapd music server to stream music to a couple of network music players (which use UPnP protocols). Recently (last month or so) I have found that on restarting my ubuntu system I need to manually restart the avahi-daemon in order for the music players to be able to 'see' the music server. I think avahi-damon is running when ubuntu first starts up. The output of a ps aux shows:
[Code]...
I'd like to understand why I need to restart the avahi-daemon and either solve this or learn a way to automate restarting it on system boot up so I don't have to do it manually each time. My system is ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and the version of avahi-daemon is 0.6.25
1-When entering a music CD, video or files, any programs or music or video players and desktop are closed are removed all the icons and I can not open any program only on firefox, I can not see the files or anything . (NOTE CD-rom is in mint condition)
2-I graphics effects ruin the entire desktop and when it is in fact no graphic still looks bad everything looks pixelated or striped like when flex is damaged or something is damaged and is in perfect condition.
Now I'm going with the version 10.04 of ubuntu:
1-I have the same problem with the CD I had in 9.10, except that in the 10/04 I can open some programs with the Emphaty and monitor systems.
2-When you close the laptop when I open the screen looks as if the flex embers damaged or broken screen (when it is of course) and I have no other to reset it.
3-When you drive about 30 minutes using computed with any open programs (Firefox, Emphaty, emesene, movie player, Gnome player) to close it or minimize it gets super slow and sometimes if I Friza and then to turn it off and repeat history.
4-When I'm watching a movie or a video with movie player is super slow (just what I'm playing does not the OS) as if Lageado and stuff. But with Gnome looks pretty good player just the video looks very small and I can not put it full screen. Certainly in a Dell Latitude C610 Pentium III-Processor: 1000/700mhz-Memory: 512MB Graphics-Card: 16mb.
I recently got an iPod touch 2nd gen. I plugged it in and it immediately showed up in Rhythmbox. I dragged and dropped music files to the iPod icon listed under devices on the left hand pane. The files ARE on the iPod, I can confirm by finding them on the device in Nautilus. The problem is, they do not show up in the music library on the actual iPod. Did I miss something, or is there a step I must take to get them to show up in the iPod's music library so I can play them?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been building my digital music collection for some time and used to house it on a local drive with no quality issues. A while back I built myself a file server using ubuntu and mdadm in a raid1 configuration to protect against potential drive failure. I link my iTunes library to the music files via a samba share and everything works great on the surface. I've started to notice that random songs are becoming corrupted with pops clicks and silent pauses. I'll even re-download an album and notice that it's corrupted a few weeks later. Now I'm at a loss to what is causing this issue; I ignored it at first but it seems to be getting worse and more widespread as time goes on.
Do you think this could be caused by mdadm? It reports that all is fine via 'cat /process/mdstat' but I wouldn't know where to look or what to look for if there were syncing issues. The other possibility is that I have iTunes set to keep my music folder organized for me, but I've never heard of it actually corrupting the files it shuffles around. The bottom line is that my library is getting crappier as time goes on and I cannot stand for that!
I've had an awkward problem lately: every music player I use wants to instead of play music from my USB external hard drive, stream music from it. I have no idea why it suddenly started doing that. It may have been an accidental key-combo I pressed, thinking I had another window targeted and didn't bother pressing it again for my Totem music player. So I closed out of Totem in hopes that Rythmbox would work like totem used to. Well, it doesn't. It wants to stream music now.The problem with the streaming music is trivial, but here it is: I have a playlist with a little over 300 songs. I have Totem set to shuffle and repeat my music. Streaming music with it makes it just stop randomly after a few songs, and when I try to pause music and play it later it takes a good 30 seconds before it kicks back in at the beginning of the song.Like I always ask because I don't know enough to give back to the community yet, can anyone help me? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor a long time, I've been downloading music from the Amazon MP3 Store (using Windows). I had hoped the Ubuntu One Store would allow me to use Ubuntu for downloading instead of booting into Windows. To date I've only bought and downloaded one album using the Ubuntu Store. Two reasons, namely that the albums are cheaper in the Amazon Store (at least the ones I've bought have been cheaper) and the files are hidden after download from the Ubuntu One Store.
I was reading last night that Banshee will be the new default music player in Ubuntu 11.04, so, I downloaded and installed Banshee which I discovered has the option to let me download from the Amazon Store (something I've not managed to do yet in Ubuntu). So I gave it a try and it downloaded an album successfully. As an added bonus, the music was downloaded to my Music folder and wasn't downloaded to a hidden folder anywhere. So now I have access to the Amazon Store (cheaper) and the files are not hidden (much easier to make a cd or move to another device for backup).
As of now, I'm exclusively using Banshee because of the reasons I've given above and I can see no sense in using the Ubuntu One Store as it stands. Will Banshee actually be the default music player in 11.04? If so, will it retain the ability to go to the Amazon MP3 Store? If so, will that then be the default for downloading music? If so, what will become of the current default and any music that's already been downloaded from there?
If any of you have successfully created a video hosting server with Fedora, can you give me any ideas of what software to get and how to configure it and so on? Or, if you have been unsuccessful, can you tell me what doen't work?
