I am also dealing with a friends cheap laptop which is having issues; basically the order of the alsa devices is changing with every boot which means I have to configure jack every time I want to use it. Is there any way to get jack to remember the description of the device rather than the number and search for that description on startup (then use the device number if that fails). This would seem to me like a much saner way of doing things to me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is done through modprobe options. See the post here <http://artisan.karma-lab.net/predeterminer-indexes-peripheriques-alsa> (in French). Basically, you edit (and/or create) /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to look like this: options snd-usb-audio index=0 # this ensures that your usb card comes in first options snd-hda-intel index=1 # if you have an intel card... You can list all the modules which are used by sound devices on your computer by running " sudo lsmod | grep snd" this into a terminal. You can set the index number for all of them, and then Jack should find them always in the same place. This works even for software were you only have a dropdown list with card index numbers (where method in http://jackaudio.org/device_naming does not work). If you have several usb cards, they will all use snd-usb-audio, but you can still preset their indexes by specifying vendor/product numbers... This is explained in detail in the post mentioned above. Please tell me if you need an English translation. After editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, make sure you either rmmod then modprobe the corresponding modules, or reboot. Good luck, Victor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nice work. That sounds like Nama is getting an outing. :-) So youalso decided for the rather dry and small version, what I call singer/songwriter sound. did you add any reverb at all? If so, it was done very subtlely. For my liking it's a little to narrow in the stereo panorama. did you apply EQ'ing and/or filtering to the instruments? It's certainly a mix to listen to. But it still feels a little bass heavy (maybe around the good old 150Hz point, but not sure). It's definitely a working mix, in contrast to a working-mix, if you catch my meaning. Still I feel, that you might have used reverb a little more liberally overall. compression seems allright. In the beginning I had the feeling, that it sounded overcompressed, but that quickly disappated. If the sounds had a little more room to breathe, I feel, that it would also be transparent enough. So basically frequencies seem OK. But now, that all five mixes are supposedly in, I'd still vote for Jason's mix a smy favourite. Due to the drums of course, but also due to the general atmosphere, the room, the EQ'ing. Perhaps not totally faithful, to what there was originally, but very pleasant to the ear of the beholder, in that case being me. :-) No slamming of any other mix, there wasn't any mix among them, which I would happily take and listen to again. They were all in their own ways faithful to the piece.

Yes, there is reverb on everything: jconvolver for the instruments, and a plate on the vocals, but very conservatively applied, as you noted. I was going for an accoustic or small venue feel, which I felt was best suited for this song; but that's an aesthetic, which means subjective, decision. The stereo field is indeed narrow: I tried widening it, but didn't like the result, so I stuck to something more crowded. There is EQ on most things, guitar especially. I agree about the low-mid hump, wwhich is the only thing I would have further refined when listening to the mix again today after a couple days rest. Low-mids were one of the challenges in this mix: I removed a fair bit, but perhaps could have removed a touch more. On the other hand, I feel the low-mid punch gives a bit of a balsy feel which is not entirely unpleasant, but does not necessarily translate well in every speaker/headphone. Thanks again.

Hm, maybe you might have gone with some different compression on the bass and thus tried to keep the low-midhump more behaved. I don't know. The reverb is very modestly applied. A touch more might not have been bad, same room sizes, IR-reverbs. But that's all personal taste. For the widening of the parnorama. You might have experimented with some very short stereo delay on the tracks, thus keeping some glue on a very reduced level. Delay length between 12-18ms. I've had good experiences with the etd and 2143. Lately the latter is my favourite, I have more control over it. Did you apply some highpass filter to the guitars? You could you know, same for the vocals. probably take a filter with a shallow slope, seeing, that the arrangement is that small.

I'm working on a Web page that includes links to all the mixes, hopefully the page will include a form for feedback. I also plan to make the session and stems publicly available, perhaps users of other DAWs (non-Linux even) will take a crack at making me sound better. :) And btw, there's another very nice mix from Matt Francomb that was announced on the Ardour forum. I think that's six mixes so far. So if you missed the other mixes they'll be on-line in a single location soon. Meanwhile you can access them all through this thread on KVR-audio : http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=351849&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= (Sorry if the mailer splits the URL).
