Apologies.. maybe the extra volume in the Timidity sample delueded me into hearing things that were not there. I do notice a very subtle initial attack on the timidity example strings which is not there in the hardware example... but one has to "listen very hard" to notice it. FluidSynth is not even in the race. For me, except for the above slight defect of timdidty I can hardly pick the difference and considering the hardware could drop fast notes (as per your gap examples) then it seems Timidity is still quite usable. I am quite amazed how "right" it is compared to authentic Creative hardware. > acreord -f wav -t S16_LE -r 44100 -d 60 -c 2 <file>.wav > With "amixer" I set the "capture" slider to maximum and there > is still a slider "music capture". I set this slider to > maximum, too. That's all. Sorry to be boring... you mean without plugging a lead from your analog out into your analog in and then simply recording as above ? I've got an old SBlive but sfxload won't work (for me) on a 2.6 kernel... so I can't test this right now. --markc
