| Mediaprodigy | Question: I need help, Ardour says it can not start JACK.. does anyone have any insight into this? | 03:27 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottL_ | Mediaprodigy, can you start JACK before starting Ardour? | 03:29 |
| ScottL_ | either using qjackctl from the menu or typing jackd in a terminal? | 03:29 |
| Mediaprodigy | ScottL: I will try | 03:30 |
| Mediaprodigy | ScottL: typing jackd in the terminal gives me a long list of possible command | 03:32 |
| Mediaprodigy | s* | 03:32 |
| ScottL_ | have you ever gotten JACK running before? | 03:32 |
| ScottL_ | if not try running qjackctl from the menu ubuntu studio icon -> audio/video -> audio -> jack control | 03:34 |
| ScottL_ | and you will probably need to set it up; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration | 03:34 |
| Mediaprodigy | this is the first time that i ever use Ardour | 03:35 |
| ScottL_ | you can also use audacity which has a lower learning curve | 03:35 |
| Mediaprodigy | i am trying to get a project done.. which is time sensitive.. do you recommend starting with Audacity... vs Ardour.. i am new to UbuntuStudio as well | 03:36 |
| Mediaprodigy | but i am proficient with teh computers | 03:36 |
| ScottL_ | yeah, I would really suggest using Audacity then as Ardour is fairly complicated | 03:37 |
| ScottL_ | unfortunately I am not very knowledgeable about Audacity | 03:37 |
| Mediaprodigy | well that is great. | 03:38 |
| Mediaprodigy | jk | 03:38 |
| Mediaprodigy | ScottL: thank you | 03:38 |
| ScottL_ | however, here is a tutorial for Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/tutorials.html | 03:38 |
| Mediaprodigy | :) | 03:38 |
| Mediaprodigy | Ok, looks like I will be doing some reading.. | 03:38 |
| ScottL_ | from what i've seen it looks pretty straightforward (the manual, I mean) | 03:39 |
| Mediaprodigy | ScottL: my first project is pretty straight forward.. taking a pre-existing song.. putting new vocals on it. | 03:39 |
| ScottL_ | oh good, that should be fairly straight forward | 03:40 |
| ScottL_ | import your song: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/tutorial_basics_3.html | 03:40 |
| ScottL_ | record new vocals: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/tutorial_basics_4.html | 03:40 |
| Mediaprodigy | nice: this is going to be good help.. hope that i can move up to Ardour.. | 03:42 |
| ScottL_ | Ardour is very powerful but does have a learning curve as I mentioned...really amazing piece of open source software | 03:44 |
| Mediaprodigy | i do not want the vocals to not have any depth.. | 03:45 |
| ScottL_ | adding 25 milliseconds (I think) of delay can fatten up vocals, but I'm not really a mixer or mastering type of guy | 03:57 |

| Guest8455 | I am trying to get Ubuntu 9.10 to use my wireless card. How do I enable the wireless interface? | 19:23 |
| ScottL | network manager is not installed by default on Ubuntu Studio | 19:24 |
| ScottL | that at least is my understanding | 19:24 |
| ScottL | you may install it and use it though (it is even included on the Ubuntu Studio disk - just not installed) | 19:25 |
| Guest8455 | do I install that via the Ubuntu software center? | 19:25 |
| ScottL | I believe you can Guest8455 | 19:25 |
| Guest8455 | thanks! | 19:25 |
| ScottL | I found it in the software center searching for network manager...good luck! | 19:26 |
| Guest8455 | thanks | 19:26 |
| Mediaprodigy | Can someone help me, I am using Audacity and it tells me that FFmpeg was not found, going to terminal and typing FFmpeg returns the version currently installed.. what am i doing wrong? | 20:46 |
| ScottL | Mediaprodigy, are you trying to import a file into Audacity? | 20:50 |
| Mediaprodigy | Yes | 20:51 |
| Mediaprodigy | hey ScottL: that is what I am trying to do.. | 20:51 |
| Mediaprodigy | Was about to start meh project | 20:51 |
| ScottL | mp3? | 20:52 |
| ScottL | Mediaprodigy, I believe that Audacity might be trying to use ffmpeg to convert the file, but it might be that the version of Audacity was built against ffmpeg | 20:53 |
| ScottL | again, i don't really use Audacity so I'm guessing | 20:54 |
| ScottL | you might try downloading Sound Coverter using software center and perhaps convert to an .ogg file which Audacity shouldn't have any trouble with | 20:54 |
| ScottL | but i'm just guessing though, but it's what I would try | 20:54 |
| Mediaprodigy | .. | 20:59 |
| Mediaprodigy | ScottL: I am going to try that.. does that not come with ubuntustudio standard? | 21:00 |
| ScottL | sound converter? hmmm, i'm guessing not | 21:01 |
| Mediaprodigy | I am converting the sound. | 21:20 |
