Audiotechque is the beginning of a multitrack mixer, and sound manipulation program. It's currently in alpha, but is certainly stable enough to use. To build, you'll need GTK 0.99.6 or later (ftp.gtk.org), and then simply run: ./configure make I don't recommend doing a 'make install' at this time because most things are set to run out of the current directory. Once you've compiled atech, go into the app dir, and run ./atech. The big challenge now is to get full duplex working so you can play back the tracks you've recorded while recording a new one over top :-) There are a few cards do full duplex - I have a GUS MAX and a sb16, both of are capable of full duplex. However, the OSS/linux drivers that come with the kernel do not support full duplex with these cards. You can, however, purchace the commercial OSS drivers for $20 that work in full duplex mode. If this is what you have, try using the settings: Record: /dev/dsp0 16 bit 44100 khz Playback: /dev/dsp1 8 bit 44100 khz This will work on cards that have one 16 bit DAC, and one 8. There are a few I am told that have dual 16 bit DAC's. Now, your other option for full duplex (and the oen I use) is the alsa drivers. See: http://ultra.jcu.cz/ These drivers support full duplex on both the sb16, and the GUS MAX, and they can use either the OSS API, or their own. In my experience, they seem to work just as well or better using the OSS API. I've written a couple of native drivers for them, but only out of interest - they (currently) don't work as well as using the oss drivers. Here are the settings I'm using with the alsa drivers: Record: /dev/dsp0 16 bit 44100 khz Playback: /dev/dsp0 16 bit 44100khz As you can see, they are performing a little behind the scenes magic to get full duplex working, but it does a good job so I'm not complaining :-) Hope you enjoy atech! :) Ian Main
