[00:03] <marc__> sound works. thanks for your hint, i will try to install the graphic card first.
[00:04] <holstein> well, good luck
[00:48] <holstein> marc__: you got desktop?
[01:03] <RubbberDucky> I am uber confused.  Is Ubuntu Studio a whole separate install from ubuntu?
[01:10] <RubbberDucky> I just want to use my interface in ubuntu without doing a reinstall...
[01:10] <RubbberDucky> :(
[01:13]  * RubbberDucky cries a lil
[01:14] <rzm61> Hey everyone, I was here last night trying to figure out how to record what I'm hearing in hydrogen into audacity...or any program that will allow me to do so
[01:14] <rzm61> I've been having some issues
[04:32] <TheMuso> /c/c
[07:29] <rage_> Hey guys, is there a meta package for ubuntustudio?
[07:32] <rage_> Nevermind my newbie question found the docs ;)
[07:33] <rage_> Hmm, is there an "industry-standard" audio interface to use with ubuntu studio?
[07:38] <marsilainen> rage_: plenty of audio interfaces will work with ubuntu, what sort of thing are you looking for?
[07:40] <marsilainen> rage_: lots of PCI sound cards etc work well these days, along with USB & firewire external audio interfaces
[07:41] <marsilainen> but do check before you buy one that it is well supported
[07:41] <marsilainen> for external audio interfaces, from what I've read, probably USB interfaces are generally better supported than firewire ones
[07:42] <marsilainen> I'm thinking of getting an edirol/cakewalk UA-25EX for example, which I understand to be well supported
[07:43] <rage_> ok cool, I've had a really quick look at some of the m-audio stuff
[07:43] <rage_> I would be looking for something with at least 2 1/4" jacks with phantom power
[07:43] <marsilainen> yeah, some of the m-audio devices are definitely supported, but if you're thinking of buying a particular one then do some googling to see how others have got on with it on Linux first
[07:44] <marsilainen> if it works on other Linux distros then you should be fine in ubuntu too
[07:44] <rage_> ok, is there usually just a kernel module to compile and load?
[07:45] <rage_> hehe, its been awhile since I have compiled a linux kernel
[07:46] <marsilainen> for usb audio interfaces, they are mostly covered by the alsa usb modules which you will already have
[07:46] <marsilainen> so you wouldn't likely need to do any kernel compiling
[07:46] <marsilainen> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-MAudio
[07:47] <marsilainen> that looks like a list of which m-audio devices are supported by the current alsa usb drivers
[07:47] <marsilainen> oh, and some pci ones in there too
[07:49] <rage_> cool, thanks :)
[07:49] <marsilainen> np
[07:49] <rage_> I'll have to do some research
[20:54] <marc__> hi, can somebody give me a hint on how to get midi running. i read that there's a problem with pulseaudio but i'm stuck. (ubuntustudio 9.04)
[20:55] <holstein> hmmm
[20:56] <holstein> im in the middle of something for a bit marc__ if you can hang :)
[20:56] <holstein> OH
[20:56] <holstein> #opensourcemusicians too
[20:57] <marc__> no problem
[21:03] <holstein> DUDE
[21:03] <holstein> my girlfriend and i are buying a house :)
[21:04] <holstein> in the middle of that kind of thing
[21:04] <holstein> ANYWAYS marc__, have you used jack?
[21:11] <marc__> yep, i can see the ports listed in the connection kit
[21:12] <holstein> OH
[21:12] <holstein> awesome
[21:12] <holstein> well, have you gotten sound from other software?
[21:12] <holstein> through jack?
[21:14] <jussi01> just kill pulse and be done with it ;)
[21:16] <marc__> jack works fine
[21:17] <holstein> SO, whats not working?
[21:17] <holstein> just midi in general
[21:17] <holstein> getting starte?
[21:17] <holstein> started*
[21:18] <holstein> you could try zynaddsubfx
[21:18] <holstein> its a synth with sounds
[21:18] <holstein> i have trouble running it in real-time and theres a new version
[21:18] <marc__> i just dont hear anything
[21:18] <marc__> i tried with rosegarden
[21:18] <holstein> OK
[21:19] <holstein> yeah, rosegarden doesnt have any sounds
[21:19] <marc__> killall -9 pulseaudio will bring timidity down:
[21:19] <marc__> timidity: pcm_pulse.c:361: pulse_write: Assertion `pcm->stream' failed.
[21:19] <marc__> Aborted
[21:19] <holstein> it sends midi data
[21:19] <holstein> if you hear sound otherwise when using jack, i dont think you have a pulse issue
[21:21] <marc__> i didnt suppose so too, just googled and saw that pulse caused some problems
[21:21] <holstein> yeah, and it does
[21:21] <holstein> but, i think it would be hanging up all your audio
[21:21] <holstein> taking over your sound device altogether
[21:21] <holstein> not letting jack have it
[21:23] <holstein> but, i think you just need a software sound module
[21:39] <marc__> ok, i have to admit i made two errors
[21:39] <holstein> well, whats it look like?
[21:40] <marc__> 1. when i killed pulse the front sound was somehow muted
[21:40] <marc__> on my lenovo this means i hear nothing through my headphones
[21:41] <marc__> 2. i tried around with timidity -iA -Os
[21:41] <marc__> you can see the timidity input ports
[21:42] <marc__> and if "-Os" is changed to "-Oj", jack will also get some output ports for your system :)
[21:44] <marc__> ok, thanks for taking your time. hope i wont bother you too much in future
[21:49] <holstein> hmm
[21:50] <holstein> i unfortunatly dont have a lot of experience with MIDI or internal sound card configurations
[22:28] <marc__> bye
[23:15] <new2ubutnu> hey all
[23:16] <new2ubutnu> using heron hardy...  trying to find out how to get my RALink USB wifi adapter to work so i can get on the net with my desktop and give my sister back her vista laptop..
[23:17] <new2ubutnu> i rebooted...  not sure where to find out if Ubuntu sees the RALink usb adapter
[23:19] <new2ubutnu> i went to Network Settings - unlocked network settings - then selected wireless connection and clicked proerties..  so now I'm in the wlan0 properties window and not sure what to do
[23:20] <amstan> if you have wlan0 and you only have 1 wifi card it works
[23:20] <amstan> though,, not sure how to help you more
[23:20] <amstan> i don't use gnome
