Hi
MusE seems to
have many interesting functions, very near to Cubase. I don't know
Cakewalk myself, I just heard of it and MusE might be orientated at
Cakewalk, maybe it's not very different to Cubase.
The bug(s)
for MusE are less important, it's more important that this is the kind
of bug I get with any setup.
I can't get a
sound done by MusE, resp. fluidsynth. I resumed the settings for MusE
at the end of this mail.
After a
while, when saving the project again (I did it several times before) I
got an error. Similar to the errors I got when using Rosegarden.
"Jack
shutdown!
Jack has
detected a performance problem which has lead to MusE being
disconnected.
This could
happen to a number of reasons:
- a performance
issue with your particular setup.
- a bug in MusE
(or possible in another connected software).
- a random
hiccup which might never occur again.
- jack was
valuntary stopped by you or someone else
- jack crashed
If there is a
persisting problem you are much welcome to discuss it on MusE
mailinglist.
(there is
information about joining the mailinglist on MusE homepage which is
available through the help menu)
To proceed
check the status of Jack and try to restart it and then click on the
Restart button."
I closed
MusE. QJackCtl seems to be fine, but after running MusE again and
loading the started project, MusE crashed and disappeared.
I could start
MusE and load the project after closing QJackCtl.
I could start
MusE after QJackCtl was running, but it crashes again and disappeared
after I tried to load the project.
In the past I
could run QSampler with my other 64 Studio and it also crashed when
trying to load a GIG.
It seems to
be that Jack isn't fine with my Suse 11.0, 64 Studio Lenny and 64
Studio default.
I tried
another session, but the bug was still there.
I restarted
the computer and after launching jack I got:

Also something I know very well.
I shutdown the computer and turned it on
again. Running QJackCtl was fine, but there was still the bug for MusE.
Without running QJackCtl MusE was fine again.
QJackCtl + QSampler and a loaded GIG +
Rosegarden and a loaded project with lots of Fluidsynth DSSIs seems to
be fine, I didn't tested audio (mixer and amp were not turned on), but
there were no crashes after loading and playing Rosegarden.
Independent if there is ab bug for MusE,
this behavior is something that will happen with any setup.
Can the on-board graphic, the shipset or
soundcard cause this troubles?
Cheers,
Ralf
