<font face="arial" size="2"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;">Yes, I'm interested in music. I play a lot of different kinds of instruments. I'm not a professional. I also like computer generated music and have an old interest in synthesized music. I'm less interested in computers as interfaces and more interested in mixing, sampling, etc.</p>

<div id="SafeStyles1365347618">
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;">Bored curiosity time: are there any musicians among the LUGOD'ers?<br /><br />I'm currently exploring a set of music related Linux projects:<br /><br /> - Learning how to use the audio software in Ubuntu Studio - <br />specifically Ardour - to do multi-track recording from various sources <br />(guitar, vocals, software-based drum machine, etc.)<br /><br /> - I don't have an actual guitar amp (Little boxes powered by 9 volt <br />batteries don't count, no matter how much the little box looks like a <br />Fender amp w/half stack). I'm trying to get a Line6 Pod XTLive digital <br />amp modeler to:<br />a) connect to the computer via USB (a Line6 driver is in the kernel, and <br />loaded in Ubuntu by default),<br />b) be visible and route'able as an input in JACK,<br />c) be visible to Ardour as a source (I got the VU meters to bounce from <br />the guitar input),<br />d) and finally (the part I'm still working on) have the audio signal <br />actually hit the recording track and be available to the monitor <br />speakers so I can play guitar through the Pod without headphones.<br /><br /> - Some day I'll get a *real* amp, of the kind that can be heard in <br />Davis from Sacramento at 1/3 volume. Anyone play with linux-based <br />recording of these? Yesterday I found out that the Fender Mustang <br />series (digital amp) is USB-connectable, has a driver in the kernel <br />that's been loaded in Ubuntu by default, and has QT4/libusb-1.0 based <br />software (http://piorekf.org/plug/about/) that will let you configure <br />the amp from the computer side. This moves the Mustang into the same <br />category as the PodXTLive ... if I can get the Pod working in Ardour, <br />the Mustang probably won't be any different ... So has anyone played <br />around with a different amp? How'd you get it to work?<br /><br />So ... back to the bored curiosity. Are there any musicians among the <br />Lugod membership? What do you play? Have any of you explored digital <br />recording or external hardware? Anyone play with USB or Firewire multi <br />channel audio interfaces? Anyone curious about what I find out once I <br />finally work through all of the above challenges?<br /><br />Happy Saturday<br /><br />Richard B.<br />_______________________________________________<br />vox mailing list<br />vox@lists.lugod.org<br />http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox</p>
