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
holsteinhey jakob__16:19
holsteini think it depends on your needs/budget16:19
holsteinthe best are probably RME16:19
jakob__I'd say around 7-800$16:20
holsteinthought, you can get great results for less bread16:20
holsteinhttp://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010.html16:21
jakob__which cards have the best MIDI synthesis tables (I think that's what it's called right)16:21
holsteinhttp://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=316:21
holsteinOH, the fp-10 might not have midi though16:22
jakob__ok so the delta1010 has both an internal and an external part?16:22
holsteinpci card16:22
holsteinwith a breakout box16:22
holsteinwell supported too16:22
jakob__ok, you see it's some years ago ;-)16:22
holsteini wouldnt worry about MIDI16:23
jakob__OK Midi is a must16:23
holsteinif you get good sound quality16:23
holsteinthe MIDI will be rockin16:23
holsteingood sound quality and jack support16:24
jakob__so delta1010 has both good recording capabilities and MIDI synth?16:25
holsteinhttp://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Multiface2/16:25
holsteinthe delta had MIDI capabilities16:26
holsteinany 'soft synths' or workstations that come with it wont run on linux16:26
holsteinbut theres all kinds of great MIDI software in linux16:27
jakob__ok so it would have to be a card/breakout box with embedded midi synth?16:27
holsteinthat comes with uBuntuStudio16:27
holsteinhmmm16:27
holsteinnot sure i follow16:27
holsteinits got midi ports16:27
jakob__well you say soft synth wont run on linux16:28
holsteinyou can plug whatever midi device you want16:28
jakob__yes I know16:28
holsteinwell, there are some nice soft synths16:28
holsteinin linux16:28

Arthur_Dhello, may I ask what versions of OpenAL and ALSA Ubuntustudio 9.10 is using?18:12
Arthur_Din other words; do they follow vanilla Ubuntu?18:15
jussi01Arthur_D: yes18:52
jussi01Arthur_D: our repos are the same as vanilla ubuntu repos18:52
Arthur_Dokay, thanks. I had to upgrade OpenAL and ALSA to Lucid because of audio problems in 9.1018:53
Arthur_Das it is now, I use vanilla Ubuntu, but I would really like to try Ubuntustudio18:54
jussi01!vanilla18:55
ubottuTo install Ubuntu Studio on top of a vanilla Ubuntu install, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation18:55
Arthur_DI just can't get Jack running right as it is now; would it be easier if I migrate to *studio?18:57
jussi01Arthur_D: how are you starting it?18:57
jussi01studio has a few tweaks as well as the rt kernel thathelp18:57
Arthur_Dvia qjackctl18:57
Arthur_DI got some rubbish saying it couldn't start in realtime mode, even when I never checked the "run as realtime" button18:58
Arthur_Dso I tried a trick at Ubuntuforums, but that left me with no audio at all it seems18:59
jussi01yeah, I suspect studio might help with that19:00
Arthur_Ddoes Studio run well with 64-bit?19:01
jussi01I hnestly dont know.19:04
Arthur_Dwill be afk for a while19:05
