| Blazento | Hello. Is it common for AMS to crash regularly when adding new effects? | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Blazento: alsa modular synth? | 00:08 |
| * holstein is not a regular user of that | 00:08 | |
| Blazento | right | 00:08 |
| holstein | Blazento: ask over in #opensourcemusicians | 00:08 |
| holstein | Blazento: you using JACK? | 00:09 |
| Blazento | yes | 00:09 |
| holstein | you could just JACK into rakarrack | 00:09 |
| holstein | or JACK rack | 00:09 |
| holstein | or something like these http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/download/index.html | 00:09 |
| Blazento | cool let me check that out | 00:10 |
| holstein | i use rakarrack all the time | 00:10 |
| holstein | with synths | 00:10 |
| holstein | or whatever | 00:10 |
| holstein | its really lightweight | 00:10 |
| Blazento | cool. I was just learning how to program patches with AMS since I like its GUI, but the crashing is too bad | 00:11 |
| holstein | ive heard good things | 00:12 |
| kde185 | hey my family is thinking of getting a new computer and putting studio on it for sound recording/mixing. Does anyone know if M-Audio Fast Track Ultra works with it? | 03:22 |
| holstein | hey kde185 | 03:23 |
| kde185 | I'm trying to look up information, but only found information on older versions of ubuntu, if this piece of equipment can't work then it might be a deal breaker for them | 03:23 |
| kde185 | yes? | 03:23 |
| holstein | this is where i would look | 03:25 |
| holstein | http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-MAudio | 03:25 |
| holstein | you can ask over in #opensourcemusicians too | 03:25 |
| holstein | i remember someone having one of those | 03:25 |
| persia | G3 | 03:25 |
| holstein | and i dont remember | 03:25 |
| persia | Generally the folks who care for drivers tend to try extra hard to avoid regressions, so when something works with one release, it tends to keep working. | 03:26 |
| persia | This only doesn't work when folks don't file bugs if something stops working, but most folk do. | 03:26 |
| kde185 | k thanks, hopefully this works cause my family won't be as patient as myself when trying to work with this | 03:26 |
| persia | That said, M-Audio has a great track-record of making "class-compliant" devices, so that they *don't* need special drivers, and automatically work for any OS. | 03:26 |
| holstein | kde185: the software is free to try :) | 03:26 |
| persia | I've never had any trouble with my M-Audio stuff, although I'll admit I don't have that particular device. | 03:27 |
| holstein | yeah, maudio is generally supported pretty well | 03:27 |
| holstein | and easy to get running | 03:27 |
| persia | Well, credit where it's due: rather M-Audio does a good job of supporting linux :) | 03:27 |
| holstein | w00t | 03:28 |
| kde185 | well we tried it a while ago, but it was on an old computer that didn't have usb 2.0 ports, so I'm not sure where the weak link was in that setup | 03:28 |
| holstein | more companies should | 03:28 |
| persia | kde185, Lack of USB2.0 ports basically means no working USB audio, regardless of the device. There's just not enough bandwidth. | 03:28 |
| kde185 | that's encouraging, I had hoped that the lack of information on the internet meant people weren't having problems | 03:28 |
| holstein | you can try a live CD | 03:29 |
| holstein | and see if it shows up | 03:29 |
| persia | For the longest time, "USB Audio" was considered a joke because of this, and the various differences between "High Speed", "Full Speed", etc. These days, it's mostly better (as long as you have limited channels/sampling frequency/etc.) | 03:29 |
| kde185 | my experience with those has been kinda iffy, sometimes devices don't work quite right when the OS is running off a cd | 03:29 |
| kde185 | but giving a shot won't hurt | 03:30 |
| persia | Kernel should be the same: you might have memory or I/O speed limitations, but stuff ought work. | 03:30 |
| holstein | troubleshooting audio devices from a live CD can be challenging | 03:30 |
| holstein | with permissions and what-not | 03:30 |
| holstein | pop in here when you get a test case going :) | 03:30 |
| kde185 | k, I'll probably jump in once the livecd is running | 03:32 |
| Blank__ | one of my old cards is actually capable of half duplex 24/96 on usb 1.1 | 04:08 |
| sletz | hi, which version of JACK is in Maverick? JACK1 or JACK2 ? | 14:40 |
| persia | sletz, *both* :) | 14:46 |
| sletz | what is the defualt one ? | 14:47 |
| sletz | if any.. | 14:47 |
| persia | I think it's jack2, although I may be mistaken. | 14:51 |
| sletz | yeah... | 14:53 |
