[07:08] greetings, all. [07:08] anyone here use jm2cv? [07:09] AH [07:09] that on my 'short-list' [07:09] BUT not yet [07:09] i think pipemanmusic over in #opensourcemusic is way into that [07:09] hes not around much though [07:10] OH [07:10] #opensourcemusicians [07:10] *** [07:10] oops [07:11] u talkin to me hostein? [07:11] I'll check it out [07:11] jkln: ^^^ [07:11] thanks [07:11] yeah [07:11] areyou using it? [07:11] them? [07:11] whatever it does [07:11] I"m baffled about what command to get it going [07:12] hehe [07:12] me too [07:12] it changes midi into control voltage - for use by non-mixer [07:12] ask over there << [07:13] in #opensourcemusicians [07:13] i think i was thinking about something else [07:13] theres a MIDI guy [07:13] [lsd] [07:13] I'm there... [07:13] . [07:13] hes always around [07:13] hmmm [08:18] I just compiled zynaddsubfx from source, but now I don't have the instrument banks. How can I get them? === artisan is now known as phaidros [12:35] Hi i'm new to this chat und would like to know what you are talking about in this channel ? [12:41] not much talk lately [12:42] hi pablo at least a reaction ! [12:42] So you got some time to talk a bit about ubuntustudio ? [12:43] I myself am rather new on this channel but why not, I am a US user [12:44] ok i'm a germ user ( german) [12:44] I am spanish [12:44] I meant ubustustudio user :D [12:45] so what are you doing with ubuntustudio ? [12:45] now i get it US [12:45] I play with hydrogen and ardour, mostly [12:46] rakarrack and guitarix too [12:46] ok so are you a musician ? [12:46] and some other apps. [12:47] amateur [12:47] me too . i do play gitarr and base [12:47] sorry bass [12:47] But I haven't released anything yet, I am not good at making music alone [12:47] ahm [12:48] What apps do you use in US? [12:49] i use to play in different formations/bands in holland and germany but in the moment i'm on my own as well [12:50] cool [12:50] for recording i used 1rst audacity because i coudn't handle adour jet it quiet tricky to find how to use jackctl [12:51] jack is a must, you should learn it, I can help [12:52] what kind of sound system do you use ! jused normal soundcard , like me , or do you use some of this multicgannel cards ? [12:53] I have a m-audio audiophile 2496 [12:53] it is only 2 cahnnels in and 2 channles out [12:53] but yes, it is a very good one [12:53] (PCI) [12:54] talright same tro me exept i can use to different mico channels and an line-in , all stereo [12:54] ahm [12:54] is it onboard? [12:54] doyou got any experience with latency settings ? [12:55] yes [12:55] yes it's onboard [12:55] but then, you need jack if you want low latency [12:57] ya , i already used jack and got it running with rackarack and calf flanger calfchorus hydrogen and jamin and audacity but i'm yet not really happy of it behavior ! [12:58] jack setup? [12:59] have you enabled realtime option? [13:01] yes while installing the system i decided to use a low latency sytem and i brought the latency down to approx. 5 ms that works fine, but i'm not so happy with the funktioning of audacity , because i only can here my instrument [13:02] while in recordmode [13:02] audacity is not very jack-firendly [13:02] thereis this trick [13:02] press record, then press pause [13:03] check/make connections [13:04] Anyway, Audacity is an editor, not a DAW [13:04] i did , but after recoding a session you go into playbackmode , that will change all the settings in jackctl ! so i must reroute the audacity connections [13:05] I suggest ardour, qtractor or traverso for a simple multitrack recording [13:05] Audacity is not a fine tool for making recordings [13:06] do you know where i can get a usermanual/descreption for adour ? [13:07] http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/ [13:07] thanks mate ! [13:07] You will need. options->monitorin->ardour does monitoring [13:08] one second please [13:08] and if mute button doesn't work right click on it [13:08] and enable the four options [13:09] first you start jackctl ? right ? [13:09] yes [13:10] so please give me a second because i use 2 different monitors i would like to have a look if it is ok with you and your time [13:10] OK, I have to go, but I have 10 minutes [13:11] ok juist 1 min. [13:13] so after starting it asked for driver interface etc and size of buffer , set to 1024 and if i remember right that means a latency above 10 ms ẞ [13:14] OK [13:14] does it start OK? [13:15] it started with a message info and one error [13:16] what error [13:17] ardour's audio engine is not connected and state saving would lose all I/O connections . Session not saved [13:17] :( [13:18] ardour is disconnected from jack [13:19] are you receiving xruns in qjackctl? [13:20] even if ardour is closed? [13:20] (red numbers) [13:21] ok listen ! to mutch stress for right now , because my son came home . I have to do some ckooking ! I gonna read the link you tolled me and maybe i'll can talk to you somehow later ? [13:22] I will be here later. [13:23] ok see you later alligator [13:23] :D === lameiro_ is now known as rlameiro [17:58] I've been told that people here can tell me about JACK, ALSA and the equalizer? [17:59] hey na [17:59] ManDay: ^^^ [17:59] what do you need to know? === lameiro_ is now known as rlameiro [18:02] holstein, na is no? Well not a lot, basically I'm interested in being told how difficult it would be (and how chances are that all works flawlessly) to set that combi up on a ubuntu 10.4 so I can equalize arbitrary audio [18:02] ManDay: na= oops [18:03] i don't follow you there but go ahead :) [18:03] a typo [18:03] i F'd up [18:03] oops = a type? [18:03] o, even [18:03] ok nevermind [18:03] an error :) [18:03] why dont we concentrate on the actual thing :D [18:03] yup [18:03] agreed [18:04] I've also been told that ubuntustudio ships with this kind of setup - can I thus assume that no one here had to set it up manually? [18:04] you want to add equalization to audio? [18:04] pre-recorded? [18:04] or live? [18:04] holstein, say I listen to a lot music from flash-plugin (rap1pulsif.com) and I'd like to equalize that because the bassline really annoys me [18:05] erm [18:05] holstein, say I listen to a lot music from flash-plugin (rap1pulsif.com) and I'd like to equalize that because the bassline really annoys me [18:05] hmmm [18:05] why dont you just use the hardware on the outside? [18:05] what do you run your computer into? [18:05] It's a very easy 2.1 speaker setup with no knobs whatsoever [18:06] volume thats all [18:06] well, theres my suggestion [18:06] go get a better rig [18:06] with EQ [18:06] haha [18:06] no [18:06] it will sound better all around [18:06] Ok man but it's not worth my money - im not a audio spec as you are [18:06] i think you should look into an EQ a the player [18:06] im just listeing to music and the quality is quite good [18:06] holstein, its a flash applet! [18:07] I think JACK is my best option :) [18:07] is there a streaming link? [18:07] nah [18:07] you dont need JACK [18:07] you'd need to get pulse running with JACK [18:07] quite a pain in the ass [18:07] JACK doesnt care about flash [18:07] holstein, please correct me if im wrong but isn't jack the only known (simple) way to equalize arbitrary sound? [18:08] and flash is unaware of JACK [18:08] NO [18:08] holstein, flash streams to whatever flash streams to [18:08] JACK itself just routes audio [18:08] its going through pulse/alsa after all [18:08] holstein, right, if needed i can route pulse into jack and then jack to alsa [18:08] ManDay: for example [18:08] when i run JACK [18:08] pulse is suspended [18:08] SO [18:09] only pro-audio apps are using the sound server [18:09] ok many what do you suggest how to equalize arbitrary audio (such as flash) ? [18:09] running pulse into JACK is only recently being looked at [18:09] with decent success [18:09] STILL [18:10] for your purposes [18:10] it WAY overkill [18:10] NO new rig! [18:10] THAT would be overkill :P [18:10] you say tomato.... [18:10] If I would not take JACK for anything but rerouting through the equalizer calling it an overkill is relative, he? [18:10] i say tomato? [18:10] NM [18:10] go for it [18:10] you speak in riddles [18:11] well id appreciate any simpler solution [18:11] you'll need to read about the pulse audio-jack bridge [18:11] but you have yet to name one :D [18:11] yeah [18:11] i dont use flash unless i have to [18:11] and i use JACK for pro audio [18:11] so im thinking [18:11] there should be a pulse solution [18:12] an EQ [18:12] for the pulse server [18:12] none that id know of. pulse is quite limited [18:12] its like gedit compared to say... eclipse [18:12] can do basic things but then [18:12] unless im missing some fancy config in the bg [18:12] which might be [18:13] oh wait [18:13] google is my friend [18:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation [18:13] read this [18:13] and let me check around for a pulse EQ [18:14] holstein: what is to equalize? [18:14] is a file? or realtime? [18:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [18:14] realtime of course. [18:14] holstein, found that too [18:15] rlameiro: realtime from a flash applet :) [18:15] im going to ask #ubuntu about it [18:15] F flash, i say [18:15] holstein, ... [18:15] it's not like i had an option [18:15] what is the applet? [18:16] i use a sockso server sometimes [18:16] a music player [18:16] http://sockso.pu-gh.com/ [18:17] pretty cool little pop-out music plaer [18:17] player [18:20] ManDay: i like this one [18:20] http://exploreubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/equalizer-for-pulse-audio/ [18:20] that looks too easy [18:21] assuming that PPA is still around [18:21] and can be used in lucid [18:21] looks promising indeed [18:21] ill harass #ubuntu until someone replies :) [18:21] ill check out the PPA [18:22] ManDay: you could try #ubuntu-beginners [18:22] not that your a beginner ;P [18:22] its just less busy [18:22] what a nifty trick, lol [18:23] its like driving in the right lane and taking over everyone because everyone wants to be fast in the left one [18:23] http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ [18:23] and if your loco team is active [18:25] looks nice [18:25] installing :) [18:27] hell! [18:27] it works like a charm [18:27] now THAT was easy [18:27] thanks a million holstein [18:28] pretty amazing [18:30] ManDay: :) [18:30] i knew we'd find the right solution for you [18:34] yep, i would have gone through all the hassle of getting jack right. cheers! === _pg__ is now known as _pg_ === _pg__ is now known as _pg_ === stochastic_ is now known as stochastic
