[00:05] Hello. Is it common for AMS to crash regularly when adding new effects? [00:08] Blazento: alsa modular synth? [00:08] * holstein is not a regular user of that [00:08] right [00:08] Blazento: ask over in #opensourcemusicians [00:09] Blazento: you using JACK? [00:09] yes [00:09] you could just JACK into rakarrack [00:09] or JACK rack [00:09] or something like these http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/download/index.html [00:10] cool let me check that out [00:10] i use rakarrack all the time [00:10] with synths [00:10] or whatever [00:10] its really lightweight [00:11] cool. I was just learning how to program patches with AMS since I like its GUI, but the crashing is too bad [00:12] ive heard good things [03:22] 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? [03:23] hey kde185 [03:23] 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] yes? [03:25] this is where i would look [03:25] http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-MAudio [03:25] you can ask over in #opensourcemusicians too [03:25] i remember someone having one of those [03:25] G3 [03:25] and i dont remember [03:26] 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] This only doesn't work when folks don't file bugs if something stops working, but most folk do. [03:26] k thanks, hopefully this works cause my family won't be as patient as myself when trying to work with this [03:26] 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] kde185: the software is free to try :) [03:27] I've never had any trouble with my M-Audio stuff, although I'll admit I don't have that particular device. [03:27] yeah, maudio is generally supported pretty well [03:27] and easy to get running [03:27] Well, credit where it's due: rather M-Audio does a good job of supporting linux :) [03:28] w00t [03:28] 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] more companies should [03:28] kde185, Lack of USB2.0 ports basically means no working USB audio, regardless of the device. There's just not enough bandwidth. [03:28] that's encouraging, I had hoped that the lack of information on the internet meant people weren't having problems [03:29] you can try a live CD [03:29] and see if it shows up [03:29] 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] my experience with those has been kinda iffy, sometimes devices don't work quite right when the OS is running off a cd [03:30] but giving a shot won't hurt [03:30] Kernel should be the same: you might have memory or I/O speed limitations, but stuff ought work. [03:30] troubleshooting audio devices from a live CD can be challenging [03:30] with permissions and what-not [03:30] pop in here when you get a test case going :) [03:32] k, I'll probably jump in once the livecd is running [04:08] one of my old cards is actually capable of half duplex 24/96 on usb 1.1 [14:40] hi, which version of JACK is in Maverick? JACK1 or JACK2 ? [14:46] sletz, *both* :) [14:47] what is the defualt one ? [14:47] if any.. [14:51] I think it's jack2, although I may be mistaken. [14:53] yeah...
