Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

Wow! great work, clarence, much appreciated. I have a request for:

DerMixD - another music playing daemon... multithreaded - mixing of several channels to several channels - TCP-controlled - really gapless mp3 playback - using mpg123's equalizer

QLoud - tool to measure loudspeaker frequency and step responses and distortions

judfilm:

dermixd is now in AUR.
For qloud, it is dependent on qt4/qwt but Arch's qwt is linked to qt3 at this moment, so this app will get link time errors when you compile.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

funkmuscle:

It seems that you just can't wait to try out 0.9.4 Since hydrogen is already in extra repo and the 0.0.1 upgrade branch is mainly for qt3-to-qt4 migration(I guess), I have no plan to put it in AUR. If you REALLY want to try it out, do the following steps:

1. use "qt-config qt4" to setup an active qt4 profile(remember to logout & login)
2. untar hydrogen tarball
3. cd hydrogen-20070428/libs/hydrogen/src
4. now under that directory create a file "hydrogen-snapshot-flac.diff" or what ever you like with following content

--- FLACFile.cpp.orig   2007-06-07 21:44:46.000000000 +0800
+++ FLACFile.cpp        2007-06-07 21:47:03.000000000 +0800
@@ -161,16 +161,16 @@
        }

        set_metadata_ignore_all();
-       set_filename( sFilename.c_str() );
+       FLAC__StreamDecoderInitStatus s=init(sFilename.c_str() );
+       if(s!=FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_INIT_STATUS_OK) {

-       State s=init();
-       if( s != FLAC__FILE_DECODER_OK ) {
                ERRORLOG( "Error in init()" );
        }

-       if ( process_until_end_of_file() == false ) {
-               ERRORLOG( "Error in process_until_end_of_file(). Filename: " + m_sFilename );
+       if ( process_until_end_of_stream() == false ) {
+               ERRORLOG( "[load] Error in process_until_end_of_stream()" );
        }
+
 }

5. type "patch -Np0 -i hydrogen-snapshot-flac.diff"
6. cd ../../..
7. ./configure && make
8. If everything goes well, you will see hydrogen under the current directory
(don't type "make install", I think there might be some bugs in their building script)

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

thanx dude:

Hey Shinlun,

I tried your instruction for building Hydrogen with QT4.
It fails:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Starting Hydrogen configuration  http://www.hydrogen-music.org
-----------------------------------------------------------------

* prefix is not set, using default /usr/local
* QTDIR = /opt/qt4

* Searching for QT library in /opt/qt4 [ OK ]

QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.0 in /opt/qt4/lib

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hydrogen is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.

Hydrogen will be installed in /usr/local

You can override this setting with:
prefix=/your/prefix ./configure

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

has anyone ever got XO-Wave running?
http://www.xowave.com/downloads.shtml
looks good but it seems to have a mind of it's own when trying to install.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

You can directly run "xowave.jar" in that package with jre but you might have to manually start its XOmux & do the audio engine cookie handshaking in xowave UI; it might be difficult for its audio to work. Since there is no source code for it, I can't do much to it. The UI looks good though.

FYI, Breakage is now in AUR.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

Ah, I forgot to note in my previous post that actually breakage can run with Arch's current jre-6-3. Why breakage official package doesn't work right away is that they packed a powerpc version of chuck in the package for x86. As long as you install chuck from community repo, the chuck binary file will be replaced by a x86 version one.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

did Ardourvst stop working for anyone after upgrade?
wine: could not load L"Z:\\usr\\lib\\ardour2\\ardour_vst.exe.so": Bad EXE format for.
all other vst apps work.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

Anyone know of a decent sized virtual midi keyboard, something akin to zynaddsubfx - vkeybd is too short, but the zynaddsubfx one can only be used in that application.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

funkmuscle:

I did see your message and have thought about this for days. Since you've installed all the dependencies and the paths of include files look ok, I still have no clue why you get that compiler error. If any forum members get the same kind of errors please report here or on AUR. Anyone who has solutions or any idea to this please help, thanks.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

I don't have a machine to try out a previous-installed ardourvst for the time being. I just compiled one from source after pacman -Syu and it works ok. Maybe your problem is caused by the newly installed wine.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

hey shinlun, I had to rebuild Ardourvst using my old way. Couldn't get yours working. Don't know why it broke but ardourvst is alive and well.
Just can't figure gigedit.
Thanx again for your great support. This proaudio forum really appreciate your help.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

Cotton:
vkeybd default octave of displaying keys is 3. For change the size you have to change octave number.
Try in the console:vkeybd --octave 4 (5,6 etc) to change the size.

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

@ArchHK  Whilst that is (good) news to me, how are the higher keys accessed using the PC keyboard? I can only seem to play the lowest octave?

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

funkmuscle:

If you installed fltk, you probably won't have any problems by simply typing "make" to compile it. You'll see the binary under the directory "dist" after a successful build.

The program doesn't work right away in several ways; its open/save doesn't work, for example. But that is not a problem of Arch; that is a bug in itself. You will soon notice that some of its functionalities don't even pass the alpha stage when you fail to "open" a configuration file you just "saved".(it can't properly read and process the configuration file it saved...)

Re: ProAudio repository for Arch users

Did it output any error message? It dies before showing its UI? Its default build can run with alsa if it doesn't find any jack server and it starts up fine on my system.
