Ubuntu Multimedia :: Looking For Feedback Frequency Trainer?
Aug 17, 2010
I am a sound engineer trainee and I'm desperately looking for a Linux version of the Simple Feedback Trainer [URL]. It's a rather easy but very good program that provide info to sound engineers train the detection of feedback frequencies. Do you know if such a thing already exists? I haven't been able to find it in the Ubuntu Software Center.
I'm running Maverick right now, but the problem also occurs with Lucid. My sound card is a creative X-Fi Titanium (emu20k2). Audio playback is fine, surround is fine, etc. Audio capture is "fine" too - the problem is that the microphone picks up everything that the headset is outputting. This is very strange since the headset is a noice-cancelling headset and in order for that to happen on other platforms (windows) I essentially have to turn the volume up to astronomical levels. As always, this doesn't happen on windows.
Needless to say this poses somewhat of a problem with VoIP applications since folks I'm interacting with constantly hear themselves echoed back by me. The only solution is to tune down the microphone volume but that adds another problem: people can no longer hear me clearly.
So my question is: is there a way to enable echo reduction for Pulse Audio so that the mic doesn't constantly capture what's coming from the outputs? And yes - when I look at the "input" tab in the sound preferences application I can see the marker move if I speak - same with pavucontrol
So I've used Jack Control for sometime now to control my recording suite that I use (Ardour, Rakarak, and Hydrogen Drum Machine) recently however, when I start the Jack control, as soon as I connect input to output in the connections window, it's like it has internal feedback. The feedback crescendos, then cuts out. after that (let's say I have my Fender plugged into the sound card) if I strike a string there it comes out muddy distorted with an awful echo (some what like what echo would sound like on blown speakers). I have checked all the settings, everything is as it was before when it worked fine... dunno... is Lucid possessed?
So, the only way to have bass is to use PulseAudio and edit daemon.conf to enable-lfe-remixing? Well, damn, but alright. how do I fine-tune low frequency reproduction (since my satellites can't handle anything below 150Hz)?
Is their any software in Linux which tells about audio sound quality (frequency,bits/s etc...? which is special designed for all Audio_quality-features. Moreover, I have tried Themonospot software but its only for Video formats. I want soft 4 audio formats only.
I have a suspicion that this is easily fixed, however a good google (and this forum) hammering having turned up the fix. So I probably have the wrong search criteria, My Gnome Applet for switching CPU Frequency Scaling has 'disappeared' and is not listed in the the Add to Panel.. list of applets.
Does anyone know of an alsa based software multi-band (10 or more) graphic audio frequency equalizer that works with Suse 11.x? To be clear, I don't mean an equalizer within an audio or video player. One that can be used with any sound application, that works between the output of the player and the output plugs on a motherboard or sound card.
How do I get launch feedback for Qt applications such as VLC? For example, if I open a file with a gtk application the mouse turns into a spinning thing to show the application is loading, but this does not happen with Qt applications.
Have been using Lubuntu Natty (32-bit) happily for a few days now, even generated a remastered iso (urxvt, custom .bashrc, .bash_aliases, Chromium with AdBlock Plus, Tabs to the Front, Context Menu Search, Unified Openbox and GTK themes, aria2c, htop). One of the Peppermint OS developers put together a 64-bit version of Lubuntu Natty. Downloaded and installed it from USB (using USB Creator) today. Hangs pretty bad at LXDM login screen.
I'm a C newbie. Just wrote this temperature converter. I know it's very basic but, as it is, is there anything wrong with it? any things that are done incorrectly? It seems to work fine.
Code: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { float fahr, celc, result; int choice;
At Dell we have worked hard to build out the Dell Consumer Support Home Page to be a thorough support website providing all levels of self-support service, as well as providing easy access to all of the relevant information needed to obtain assisted support. The design of the page has grown organically over time, but we feel it's time to give the look/feel of the page a facelift.
There is a new openFATE proposal (http://features.opensuse.org/311661) to add a desktop icon to the Live CD's that will use smolt to provide feedback for hardware options that work.
I certainly do not consider myself a Debian power-user, but I do presently have 3 Lenny systems and 1 Squeeze system running fine in my home on "older" hardware. However, for the past week I have been trying to get yet another system running, and I have hit the wall. This is on a new home-built system with an AMD Athlon II X4 and an ASUS M4A785-M motherboard. The Lenny installation was done with a net install of the AMD64 variety.
I always get a "Monitor frequency out of range" error whenever I boot. I can do a CTRL ALT F1 to get to command line, but I have no success getting to GUI. I have read numerous posts of similar monitor frequency problems with various distros, and most point toward HorizSync, VertRefresh, etc settings in xorg.conf. I have played with a myriad of options there, but I still get the "frequency out of range" error after a reboot. I have swapped monitors to no avail (monitors that work on my other Debian 32-bit systems). I really don't think the problem can be the xorg.conf file, since I have tried the exact same file as on the other machines. (Also, those systems seem to be more than happy without custom HorizSync and VertRefresh options in their xorg.conf files.)
On this new computer, I am using the motherboard's integrated video output (theoretically a ATI Radeon HD5200).I don't know if special options are needed in xorg.conf for this???I am able to successfully boot to GUI with multiple differentCD Linux distros; however, no such luck with the Debian installation. I would prefer to stay with Debian if possible, but I cannot live by command line alone on this system.Please let me know if there is something else that I should try before punting and moving to another 64-bit distro.
First off, this isn't the usual "physical" feedback of a speaker being too close to the mic. This mic is part of a headset so there's no way for the output and input to overlap and cause feedback. This mic has worked perfectly for me in the past, but I recently re-installed my OS and it hasn't worked since.
It seems as if my audio out is getting redirected to microphone in. If I open up and sound recording program while I have some audio being output, the output will get echoed back in through the microphone channel, although any actual microphone input is never picked up. I can blow or scream into the mic and there's no indication at all that Linux is picking it up.
I'm running ArchLinux with ALSA. I've gone into alsa mixer and played with just about every channel in every way I can think of, and none of the options seem to fix the problem.
How should I fix this? I use my mic pretty much constantly when I'm on the computer, being without it sucks.
I use Squeeze. I just recently upgraded from Lenny. My sources.list is a combination of Debian DVDs and some http repos (for multimedia, non-free, and security updates). I rely largely on DVDs because I use dial-up.
When I tried to run apt-get dist-upgrade for the multimedia packages on my system, it told me to insert Debian DVD disc #1, and from that attempted to install the following programs: librtmp0 libdirac-decoder0 libggiwmh0 libggiwmh0-target-x libvdpau1 twolame. But, it then told me:
I am going to be involved with a massive filesystem copy from a local to a remote server in the next couple of weeks. There are ten filesystems in involved in this process. All, except one, are one hundred gigabytes in size, with the remaining one at twenty gigabytes.The cp command with the -pr options will be used to copy the directories to their new location. A speed test, involving ten directories, was done to determine the average amount of time it would take to complete the process. The ten directories used in this test ranged in size from 2.3 gigabytes to 4.3 gigabytes. The results indicated the average amount time to complete the copy was around one minute and thirty seconds.
The question I have is the following: Is it better to interactively go to each filesystem and run the cp -pr command there, or should I write a script that will automatically go to each filesystem and run the copy?
I want to write script at "tcsh" that send message to user ($DISPLAY) and let him to answer me.below command line that open xterm at any user displayQuote:setenv LESS "P'HIT q TO QUIT'"/usr/bin/xterm -display $USER_DISPLAY -geometry 60x7 +sb -rv -e less ./MESSAGE_FILEpressing "q" will close the window.there is any way to press "r" -> new window will open ->user write a feedback ->message will send back to sender.
I like 11.04 with Unity however I would like to find a method of managing workspaces with mouse (not keyboard) which gives constant visual feedback and is faster than using the launcher bar, which although not 'slow', takes time to appear and it then takes time to locate the (non movable) desktop switcher item.I happily adopt most of what 11.04 (Unity) offers, however, I really still miss the good visual feedback and the single click action that the lower panel (classic) desktop switcher used. Is there a way of me using some item in unity which is closely similar?
I have a n2pap-lite motherboard with a AMD Sempron 2800+. My host clock is at 133mhz when it needs to at least be at 166mhz to be a AMD Sempron 2800+... I installed the system on 100mhz clock not thinking that it mattered.
It says on guides that it will ask me to reboot but it doesn't, so I manually did it and put the CPU Frequency Monitor on my taskbar. It does not have the options like it shows in the screenshots to set my CPU frequency..
I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with a Pentium T2060 1.6ghz. Ubuntu only lets it go up to 1.2ghz. And no its not a cpu power saving feature. In Windows it gets to 1.6ghz fine
I have the CPU frequency scaling applet in the panel and it worked fine when I had 8.10 but now that I'm using Karmic, I cant get it to work correctly!
It won't change the speed to what I tell it to. I click on a different speed and it does nothing.
The CPU spins too slowly and videos lag or it spins at full speed and overheats even though I have nothing open! I really need to be able to adjust it.
I am new to ubuntu. I have just one question, everytime I reboot my laptop the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor goes back to "On Demand." Why is that and can I also set it so it stays on Performance.
I'm a bit new in Ubuntu, but I am about to get a hang in it. I have previous use karmic koala and the version before that (cant remember the name for that) on my old computer and now I am using ubuntu 10.4 on my new computer. Ever since I installed Ubuntu for the first time, I noticed that the sound quality wasn't... the best. There isn't so much wrong with it, but like that this example. I played a FLAC file with some headphones (thru Ubuntu) and the sound quality sucked.. and then I played a mp3 file (with an ipod) and the sound quality was much much much better than the FLAC file.
I tired to play an HD movie over ....., where on Windows XP it sounds perfect, but with Ubuntu it kinda sux. The MP3 (Ipod / windows XP) is still better, than anything that is being played in Ubuntu. This is with almost every sound format I have tried. No matter if I play it with Rythmbox or vlc or some other player, the sound is wrong. I cant describe how it sounds.. but it is like it is going with a low frequency... or it is compress some how... Ever since I tried Ubuntu for the first time Ive noticed that something was wrong, but couldn't never really put my finger on it. I have dual-booted with windows XP and the sound in XP is really, really good compared to Ubuntu.
