The difference between the right word and the almost right word is really a large matter ? it's the difference between a lightning bug and the lightning.

I saw, rather belatedly, your May 2011 review of mhwaveedit on 2/19/12. You suggested that mhwaveedit might be abandonware. I dropped a note to Magnus, and got a courteous, immediate and helpful reply, as always. (He had not seen the Friends of Jack article.) He makes sure that mhwaveedit compiles correctly on all modern Linux distributions and sees that works with the different sound systems. He adds new features as time allows and when he gets requests. Apparently lv2 support has not reached that threshold. I am delighted to report it is clearly not abandonware.

Hi Dave,

I would like to say that your articles are my favourite in Linux Journal.

I've got a question: In your article about the Linux Sampler Project, you have a screenshot showing your setup with a console sequencer. What is that sequencer? I am trying to get as much of my signal chain on the console as possible and for the life of me I cannot find a JACK-aware console sequencer!

Help please!

Thanks!

Hi Dave, I enjoyed reading your article about Linux arpeggiators, and my thanks for including hypercyclic! If you like hypercyclic though, you might perhaps be also interested in its new little chordgenerator cousin, tonespace 2.0. Now available for Linux and also freeware.

for more info, please see www.mucoder.net/tonespace

cheers
Leo

Dave,
Have always liked your music articles. Best of what I'm looking for in Linux audio production.

Do you have any inside info on the development of 64 Studio? It's my preferred distro for music, as I don't compile apps as a rule, and 64 studio seems to be the only mature music distro to include Qsampler "out of the box". But.....

What has happened to their dev? Check their milestones roadmap (:

Seems that the OEM involvment has "mummed" their community communication (3.0 12 months late, 4.0..is this a joke?):

boy, I hope the dev's are getting paid well (= at all) to keep quiet...

Hi Dave. I am a retired engineer ( and keyboard player) that recently got into Ubuntu Studio. I have been working through the setups of using realtime kernels and have had good success thus far. I am wondering if anyone has been able to run Band in a Box using JACK. I can't seem to find a way to do that and posts to other forums directly relating to JACK have not been answered. Any thought?

PS, Ardour 3 looks like a game changer for musicians using Linux.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
