Couple Jams

Yeah I haven't been posting much because of some family health issues, but I have been playing quite a bit, it helps me cope with the stress a little I think.  Decided to make a quick recording and throw it up here, ended up with two of them actually.  Nothing fancy but they show a little improvement on my part I think.

Blues Jam
Jazzy Jam

I notice from my stats page that I have a lot of Linux users coming here, probably because I linked to a blog page of mine from a forum. 

I'm still using the set up with jack, Rosegarden, and Audacity, with LinuxSampler and JackRack producing the sound and applying the effects.  Works pretty well, except there is no easy way to save all the settings in everything in a coordinated fashion.  In other words, I see no way to get save all the settings in one spot, open up that file and be right where I was on another day, in the event that something was close but just not quite there when I have to call it a day.

To this end I will have to start experimenting with some sort of automation scheme, though I suppose I should give Ardour a try at some time first to see if that provides any sort of a solution.  I have it working on my system for some reason I just haven't gotten around to tinkering with it.

I actually would like to correct one thing though from my previous post about getting stuff to work.  A better string of text to put in the limits.conf file is, I believe:

@audio - rtprio 90
@audio - nice -10
@audio - memlock unlimited

I guess I don't remember why I changed it exactly now, probably experimentation combined with some guessing.  The page in question is here, I also edited it there.
