ProAudio repository for Arch users

Oh, for anyone interested in FLStudio check this http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVe … ingId=9308

It's working for me

jonkristian · 2007-04-14 14:49:16

Just got firepod up and running and it seems to be working neatly.
For anyone that owns a firewire card; http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.ph … Arch_Linux

Could we get a link to the rt kernel package for testing?

jonkristian · 2007-04-16 10:10:03

Justin, U around? Did you get my email about the rt kernel package?

I think this should have been done a while ago as Ive tried loads of those studio distros and none seem to work better than my arch desktop..

Great idea and thanks for getting it up and running. I have a package request for 'jamin' its in aur and reason I finally let go of windows. Its a great mastering EQ, multiband compressor and Limiter, using QT and Jack.

The guy says its in his repo, but i think it deserves to be in proaudio.

Looking forward to the new kernel too, been using 'beyond' with quite a bit success.

so true. Audio runs the best on Arch.
I just gave Gentoo another shot and it's a great OS but still Arch does audio the best. If someone knows howto build an ArchLinux-Audio release, that would really rock.

btartsa · 2007-04-18 13:56:11

OK, I've so far failed to get a RT kernel built either from source (think the wiki is out of date, build failed because I didnt have lilo installed so I installed it and tried again. Build failed and I ended up with lilo...damn.) or ABS (just says "build failed" no error messages even when logged). Who knows. I'll keep trying but I'm wondering...does ANYONE have a realtime kernel working?

funkmuscle · 2007-04-18 14:23:11

nope!

I think this repo is a great idea...berkus, your effort is greatly appreciated. I am currently running arch64, so if you would like me to build x86_64 versions of these packages, I would be happy to do so. Just let me know.

Yeah, if you can do it i can bundle you all PKGBUILDs I have for my repo in one tarball.

berkus · 2007-04-19 21:28:32

Guys, I have a pretty neatly and stably working RT kernel. I'll give a go at packaging it this weekend.

Stay tuned.

jonkristian · 2007-04-19 21:33:04

I had it working a couple of years ago in slackware, if you want to, send me what you got and i'll give it a shot when i get time.
In the meantime, check my really old post about this, maybe it can point something out, i don't know, hehe, http://jonn3.strangled.net/?p=7

I bought a pair of m-audio bx5a monitors today to complete my portable studio, they're pretty small but they play great, maybe a bit low in the lower frequencies. I had to build gstreamer0.10bad from cvs though, to get gstreamer apps playing with jack, let me know if anyone is interested in the PKGBUILD, it's also in the forums somewhere, don't remember the post.

I would also be interested in different jack settings that seems to work best for you, maybe with system specs, could that be useful? I've been having several xruns but i haven't had time to tweak jack yet. good or bad idea?

jonkristian · 2007-04-19 21:33:50

berkus, haha, great, i'd love to test it:)

btartsa · 2007-04-20 16:15:53

Same here!

And I would really like to know HOW you did it!

check out Jack_mixer at
http://home.gna.org/jackmixer/
kinda interesting.

Just installed Kubuntu on a spare drive. the from UbuntuStudio is great but Ubuntu is still behind Arch. Had no xruns with that UbuntuStudio RT-Kernel.

I haven't found a distro that matches Arch. Gentoo is great but who has all that time waiting to build, then install every app?

clarence · 2007-04-21 04:48:15

jack_mixer requires an updated version of swig. Here's one I prepared earlier.....

# Contributor: Tom Newsom <Jeepster@gmx.co.uk>
# Maintainer: Jason Chu <jason@archlinux.org>

pkgname=swig
pkgver=1.3.31
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="SWIG is a compiler that makes it easy to integrate C and C++ code with scripting languages"
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
#md5sums=('8e0952f0a0bac372cf9080b47afa13b8')
url="http://www.swig.org/"
depends=(gcc guile)

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

And jack_mixer PKGBUILD

# Contributor: Gary (clarence) Ayre <catchfire at gmail dot com>

pkgname=jack_mixer
pkgver=3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Jack audio mixer"
url="http://home.gna.org/jackmixer/"
depends=('jack-audio-connection-kit' 'gtk2' 'python' 'swig' 'pygtk' 'fpconst')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
license="GPL"
source=(http://download.gna.org/jackmixer/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2 )
#md5sums=('be4f4ad6cbe896bb8a15e2207d473a05' '2e2ff38869d0f268b1bff70b5119369b')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr 
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Be careful adjusting the volumes too high. I just made my cat pooh itself.

funkmuscle · 2007-04-21 16:30:41

yeah, had it running when I added it to the forum but volume wise, does, it launches with sliders all the way up and didn't boost the mic signal for vocals. Thought it would at like a real mixer.

funkmuscle · 2007-04-24 00:25:46

rebuilt jackmixer using your build Clarence and it works great. Thanx.
You guys must know these link I guess:

http://www.osadl.org/Realtime-Preempt-K … tml#ubuntu
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/

The Ubuntu rt kernel was built that way. It seriously rocks.

judfilm · 2007-04-24 01:55:37

Also another link related to RT Kernel:

http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/CON … T_RT_Patch

funkmuscle · 2007-04-24 03:35:44

Why is it so hard to build an RT kernel? Also, why aren't the developers doing so?
I remembered when QNX was free, that kernel was always RT.

Isn't FreeBSD and the other BSDs RT?

I wish I knew what I was doing. I love to help. The best I can do is keep on sending links that I find. Hopefully it may help you guys.

jonkristian · 2007-04-24 06:33:47

It's not that hard i belive, I would like to give it a shot and I thought about doing it. I like to think i'm pretty good with kernels from my time with slackware, but im not that good with abs yet, need to read more... Also, I will await and test berkus's kernel first, when he has it ready.

btartsa · 2007-04-24 13:58:37

I got an kernel to accept the rt patchset built w/ abs but for some reason its not creating the image in /boot. Any ideas? I cant post more info after work today.

funkmuscle · 2007-04-24 15:17:19

no idea. I had the same issue with an mm kernel and had to wait for and update

berkus · 2007-04-25 23:31:46

Here are the patches for my 2.6.20-rt5 kernel

http://arch.madfire.net/kernel26rt-2.6.20-rt5/

If someone with time on their hands (which i seriously lack now) can take this and change PKGBUILD to follow the steps in read_me.txt (basically, only patching part should be changed. pretty easy), please post the pkgbuild and/or make a binary kernel package.

jonkristian · 2007-04-26 06:33:53

Great work berkus. I might get some time to test it after work today and maybe post a pkgbuild.

If anyone haven't read this yet, http://ck.kolivas.org/faqs/audio_hints.txt
It's a bit old, but there are some useful stuff in it.

btartsa · 2007-04-26 16:15:07

Question: is that patchset only for reiser4 filesystems?

jonkristian · 2007-04-27 11:27:55

Haven't had time to look at it, but most likely not, reiser4 is still considered unstable and should NOT be relied upon, at least not in this case. Have you had problems?
