<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all. I thought I'd report on my cursory
tests with MTC and beta0.28 (the gentoo ebuild)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, results were pretty good last
night.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The summary is, MTC out from Ardour has that same
intermitant jitter that Paul explained is part of the nature of the kernel, and
that some devices will be able to deal with and some won't. The major
device that I wanted to deal with it last night was a Behringer DDX3216 digital
mixer. It doesn't. That machine needs a solid signal or it won't do
its automation. This isn't suprising.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ardour seemed to be doing real well, though,
slaving to MTC. The only other device I have that spits MTC out is my Emu
Darwin, so I had Ardour try to slave to that, and it seems to be working
nicely.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am able to slave the mixer to the Darwin as well,
and also I can slave Cakewalk to the Darwin, so Ardour beta0.28 seems to be
fitting in that setup nicely on first glance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It also seemed to be sending and receiving MIDI
Machine Control well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These are cursory tests, I just hooked'er up to see
if she would go. I'll do some actual work and report on whether tracks
from Cakewalk are really in sync and that kind of thing and report what I
find.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All in all, it's looking up :)</FONT></DIV>
