Sprocket | Does KDE work well with ubuntu Studio? | 00:24 |
---|---|---|
Sprocket | what is the command to upgrade Ubunto into ubuntu Studio? | 04:24 |
holstein | hey Sprocket | 05:05 |
holstein | !vanilla | 05:05 |
ubottu | To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation | 05:05 |
holstein | that should have all the meta packages your looking for | 05:05 |
holstein | you can follow the hardy guide | 05:05 |
holstein | the names are the same | 05:05 |
holstein | the only difference is grub2 | 05:06 |
holstein | if your interested in getting the real-time kernel going | 05:06 |
holstein | !grub2 | 05:06 |
ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 05:06 |
Sprocket | i think i found it | 05:16 |
Sprocket | im inda new to linux. what is grub? most of my experience is in Fedora | 05:17 |
Sprocket | *kinda | 05:17 |
holstein | cool | 05:19 |
holstein | grub is the boot loader | 05:19 |
holstein | and grub2's menu is hidden by default | 05:20 |
holstein | SO if you sudo apt-get install linux-rt | 05:20 |
holstein | you probably wont see the RT kernel as an option | 05:20 |
holstein | its nothing to worry about | 05:20 |
holstein | if your doing graphics | 05:20 |
holstein | or casual aduio | 05:20 |
holstein | audio* | 05:21 |
holstein | Sprocket: check out #opensourcemusicians | 05:21 |
holstein | p'cast there | 05:21 |
holstein | good for the new-to-linux audio folk :) | 05:21 |
jazz_ | anyone familliar with ableton live and or reason? and 1 can they run on Linux 2 are there any programs like them under the open source software? | 09:36 |

jakob__ | Hi there. I want to be able to produce high quality audio combining recording and MIDI. But it's a long time ago I have played with sound. Which soundcards are best these days? | 16:18 |
holstein | hey jakob__ | 16:19 |
holstein | i think it depends on your needs/budget | 16:19 |
holstein | the best are probably RME | 16:19 |
jakob__ | I'd say around 7-800$ | 16:20 |
holstein | thought, you can get great results for less bread | 16:20 |
holstein | http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010.html | 16:21 |
jakob__ | which cards have the best MIDI synthesis tables (I think that's what it's called right) | 16:21 |
holstein | http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=3 | 16:21 |
holstein | OH, the fp-10 might not have midi though | 16:22 |
jakob__ | ok so the delta1010 has both an internal and an external part? | 16:22 |
holstein | pci card | 16:22 |
holstein | with a breakout box | 16:22 |
holstein | well supported too | 16:22 |
jakob__ | ok, you see it's some years ago ;-) | 16:22 |
holstein | i wouldnt worry about MIDI | 16:23 |
jakob__ | OK Midi is a must | 16:23 |
holstein | if you get good sound quality | 16:23 |
holstein | the MIDI will be rockin | 16:23 |
holstein | good sound quality and jack support | 16:24 |
jakob__ | so delta1010 has both good recording capabilities and MIDI synth? | 16:25 |
holstein | http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Multiface2/ | 16:25 |
holstein | the delta had MIDI capabilities | 16:26 |
holstein | any 'soft synths' or workstations that come with it wont run on linux | 16:26 |
holstein | but theres all kinds of great MIDI software in linux | 16:27 |
jakob__ | ok so it would have to be a card/breakout box with embedded midi synth? | 16:27 |
holstein | that comes with uBuntuStudio | 16:27 |
holstein | hmmm | 16:27 |
holstein | not sure i follow | 16:27 |
holstein | its got midi ports | 16:27 |
jakob__ | well you say soft synth wont run on linux | 16:28 |
holstein | you can plug whatever midi device you want | 16:28 |
jakob__ | yes I know | 16:28 |
holstein | well, there are some nice soft synths | 16:28 |
holstein | in linux | 16:28 |
jakob__ | ok cool | 16:28 |
holstein | BUT whatever would come packaged would not be linux softwarer | 16:29 |
jakob__ | in the repos? | 16:29 |
holstein | software* | 16:29 |
holstein | yup | 16:29 |
holstein | !vanilla | 16:29 |
ubottu | To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation | 16:29 |
jakob__ | ok | 16:29 |
holstein | the hardy instructions lists the meta packages | 16:29 |
holstein | OH | 16:29 |
holstein | ---/j #opensourcemusicians | 16:30 |
holstein | theres a pcast | 16:30 |
jakob__ | thanks :-) | 16:30 |
holstein | and community reviews of some gear and software | 16:30 |
jakob__ | btw do you use Ardour? | 16:30 |
holstein | yup | 16:30 |
holstein | i use it a little under OSX too | 16:31 |
holstein | but a lot on ubntu | 16:31 |
jakob__ | did it get MIDI support yet? | 16:31 |
holstein | soon is the word | 16:31 |
jakob__ | :-D | 16:31 |
holstein | 3.0 release | 16:31 |
holstein | its at 2.8.7 i thin | 16:31 |
holstein | k | 16:31 |
jakob__ | cool, I wont be using it until 3.0 anyway | 16:31 |
jakob__ | thanks a lot | 16:32 |
Arthur_D | hello, may I ask what versions of OpenAL and ALSA Ubuntustudio 9.10 is using? | 18:12 |
Arthur_D | in other words; do they follow vanilla Ubuntu? | 18:15 |
jussi01 | Arthur_D: yes | 18:52 |
jussi01 | Arthur_D: our repos are the same as vanilla ubuntu repos | 18:52 |
Arthur_D | okay, thanks. I had to upgrade OpenAL and ALSA to Lucid because of audio problems in 9.10 | 18:53 |
Arthur_D | as it is now, I use vanilla Ubuntu, but I would really like to try Ubuntustudio | 18:54 |
jussi01 | !vanilla | 18:55 |
ubottu | To install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation | 18:55 |
Arthur_D | I just can't get Jack running right as it is now; would it be easier if I migrate to *studio? | 18:57 |
jussi01 | Arthur_D: how are you starting it? | 18:57 |
jussi01 | studio has a few tweaks as well as the rt kernel thathelp | 18:57 |
Arthur_D | via qjackctl | 18:57 |
Arthur_D | I got some rubbish saying it couldn't start in realtime mode, even when I never checked the "run as realtime" button | 18:58 |
Arthur_D | so I tried a trick at Ubuntuforums, but that left me with no audio at all it seems | 18:59 |
jussi01 | yeah, I suspect studio might help with that | 19:00 |
Arthur_D | does Studio run well with 64-bit? | 19:01 |
jussi01 | I hnestly dont know. | 19:04 |
Arthur_D | will be afk for a while | 19:05 |
Brazucka | Hi there. | 19:26 |

Brazucka | How do I shut down the X-server and go to prompt, please? | 19:48 |
CyBerNetX | Ctrl + Alt + F1 | 21:40 |
CyBerNetX | . /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 21:41 |
