| cboyer1951 | am i live here? | 02:26 |
| raven | hi | 14:22 |
| raven | i need a replacement for cubase - any ideas? | 14:22 |
| jussi01 | raven: remind me what cubase does again? | 14:42 |
| * jussi01 guesses ardour... | 14:43 | |
| v-star | how's it going guys? | 20:05 |
| holstein | not bad v-star | 20:05 |
| v-star | any of you using...I hate to say it because I am aware of their hostility...a MOTU interface? | 20:06 |
| === v-star is now known as vstar | ||
| holstein | i got a presonus firepod | 20:07 |
| holstein | is that firewire? | 20:07 |
| vstar | yes | 20:07 |
| vstar | I also have a m-audio firewire solo | 20:07 |
| vstar | neither of which seems to be working with the ffado drivers | 20:07 |
| vstar | even though both are shown as "known to work" | 20:07 |
| holstein | drag | 20:08 |
| holstein | yeah i was just checking http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list&filter0=motu&filter1=&op2=OR | 20:08 |
| vstar | did you have to tweak stuff to get the firepod working? | 20:08 |
| holstein | i use to | 20:08 |
| holstein | now its plug and play pretty much | 20:09 |
| vstar | I haven't been digging much into the issue yet, I was really hoping someone had encountered it. | 20:09 |
| holstein | have either of them ever worked under linux for you? | 20:09 |
| vstar | so much for quick fixes ;) | 20:09 |
| vstar | I haven't tried. | 20:09 |
| holstein | OK | 20:09 |
| holstein | SO | 20:09 |
| vstar | up until recently, I hadn't considered linux as a studio option | 20:09 |
| holstein | you launch qjackctl | 20:09 |
| holstein | and run it | 20:10 |
| holstein | and no luck? | 20:10 |
| holstein | errors pop up? | 20:10 |
| vstar | I'll have to look at it later today. | 20:10 |
| vstar | not near the studio box right now and no remote access configured. | 20:10 |
| holstein | but you try using jack right? | 20:10 |
| vstar | negative. | 20:10 |
| holstein | OH | 20:10 |
| holstein | thats probably the issue | 20:10 |
| vstar | so, just use qjack and try to configure it that way? | 20:10 |
| holstein | yup | 20:10 |
| holstein | you can run... | 20:10 |
| holstein | sudo qjackctl | 20:11 |
| vstar | which is why there is a section about jack on the FAQ | 20:11 |
| holstein | to troubleshoot for permission errors | 20:11 |
| vstar | gotcha | 20:11 |
| holstein | you dont really need/want to run jack as root | 20:11 |
| holstein | BUT there is some permissions tweaking to do | 20:11 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation | 20:12 |
| vstar | due to the nature of what it is, I can understand that. | 20:12 |
| holstein | i think most of the tweaking is on that site | 20:12 |
| holstein | or linked to it | 20:12 |
| holstein | BUT | 20:12 |
| holstein | just do sudo at first | 20:12 |
| holstein | then you'll know if its working without pulling too much hari out :) | 20:12 |
| holstein | hair* | 20:13 |
| holstein | ALSO, join #opensourcemusicians if your interested | 20:13 |
| vstar | I probably would have had better luck if I hadn't done the initial install in the wee hours of the morning. ;) | 20:13 |
| holstein | lots of jack/ardour and other talk there | 20:13 |
| vstar | awesome. | 20:13 |
| vstar | I have never used ardour before now | 20:13 |
| holstein | jack and ardour are quite amazing really | 20:14 |
| holstein | what were you using before? | 20:14 |
| holstein | DAW wise? | 20:14 |
| vstar | I've been a linux admin for years and I didn't realize until I was browsing through stuff a few weeks ago just how mature some of the products have become. | 20:14 |
| vstar | cubase and occasionally FL studio | 20:14 |
| vstar | I had considered going to a mac and Logic until I stumbled across ubuntu studio | 20:15 |
| holstein | i had cubase on xp for a long time | 20:15 |
| holstein | jack is the learning curve for linux really | 20:15 |
| holstein | but, i really like the flexibility jack makes possible | 20:16 |
| holstein | i guess it depends on what you trying to do production wise | 20:16 |
| holstein | the 5.1 audio editing is still behind | 20:17 |
| holstein | and some video | 20:17 |
| vstar | I'm converting a whole room in the house to a studio for my material | 20:17 |
| holstein | and lots of new midi synth coming out all the time relly | 20:17 |
| holstein | reall* | 20:17 |
| holstein | really* | 20:17 |
| holstein | BUT if your multitracking audio for a stereo master | 20:18 |
| holstein | things are more than far enough along for that | 20:18 |
| vstar | That will serve my purposes | 20:18 |
| holstein | and lots of other electronic music too | 20:18 |
| holstein | ardour will be getting MIDI soon | 20:18 |
| holstein | 3.x release | 20:19 |
| vstar | I'm a traditionalist | 20:19 |
| vstar | I play about 9 instruments | 20:19 |
| holstein | COOL | 20:19 |
| vstar | so I use very little midi | 20:19 |
| holstein | well, you wont miss a thing then :) | 20:19 |
| holstein | plugins are awesome | 20:19 |
| vstar | I haven't played with anything yet due to the interface issue | 20:20 |
| vstar | I'm gonna dig into jack tonight, though | 20:20 |
| holstein | we'll get your sorted out | 20:20 |
| vstar | doing a little research....netjack....have you used it? | 20:20 |
| holstein | you* | 20:20 |
| vstar | does it work well? | 20:20 |
| holstein | yup | 20:20 |
| holstein | i set up a test rig | 20:20 |
| holstein | with my main desktop audio box | 20:20 |
| holstein | and a laptop | 20:20 |
| holstein | works well | 20:21 |
| vstar | Have you tried it over the internet? | 20:21 |
| holstein | you know | 20:21 |
| holstein | i tried | 20:21 |
| vstar | massive failure? | 20:21 |
| holstein | and the guy that i was trying it with and i never got it going | 20:21 |
| vstar | hmmm | 20:22 |
| holstein | theres a helpful dev in #jack though | 20:22 |
| holstein | and he gave us suggestions | 20:22 |
| vstar | I might give it a whirl. | 20:22 |
| holstein | and we never got around to trying it again | 20:22 |
| vstar | I'd like to polish my long distance collab | 20:22 |
| holstein | have you checked out ninjam? | 20:22 |
| holstein | http://ninjam.com/ | 20:22 |
| vstar | However, the local network is great too, since I can get the main box out of my recording area | 20:23 |
| holstein | kinda cool | 20:23 |
| holstein | i used it (netjack) to slave off some softsynths to the laptop | 20:23 |
| holstein | kind of a poor mans dual core | 20:23 |
| holstein | locally it worked great | 20:23 |
| holstein | im sure it would do as well over the net too | 20:24 |
| holstein | we just had a network issue | 20:24 |
| holstein | i think | 20:24 |
| vstar | ninjam looks like the hotness | 20:25 |
| vstar | I can try a server on this box and see if I can get it working. | 20:25 |
| holstein | its interesting | 20:25 |
| holstein | the way it integrates network lag in | 20:25 |
| holstein | and its pretty easy to get going | 20:25 |
| holstein | they got test servers up | 20:25 |
| holstein | if you just want to try the client and get in there | 20:26 |
| holstein | and theres a ninjam server on somebodys box over at #opensourcemusicians | 20:26 |
| vstar | yeah, I might dig into that first and come back to the server | 20:26 |
| vstar | this box is on pretty high bandwidth and I have another host as well | 20:26 |
| holstein | but its been a while since its been used :/ | 20:26 |
| vstar | I joined that channel | 20:27 |
| vstar | holstein, you are a breath of fresh air on irc, btw | 20:27 |
| holstein | :) | 20:28 |
| === vstar is now known as VehementStar | ||
| VehementStar | too much hostility on IRC anymore | 20:29 |
| holstein | can be | 20:30 |
| holstein | i dont understand | 20:30 |
| holstein | wy | 20:30 |
| holstein | why* | 20:30 |
| VehementStar | I'm not really sure. | 20:33 |
| VehementStar | artistically inclinded people tend to be a little more laid back, though ;) | 20:33 |
| VehementStar | even the geeky ones | 20:34 |
