[00:08] is there a good batch ripping program for cds? [00:08] did you search for it on the software center [00:09] i searched on google and came up with a few but I wanted to ask everyone else for their opinion [00:09] sound juicer maybe? [00:09] actually I found cd rippers for linux I don't think any of them were batch rippers [00:10] batch in what sense? [00:10] if I have 5 or 6 cd drives in my computer I should be able to load them up and have them rip all at the same time [00:10] for ripping my entire cd collection [00:11] so i don't have to do it 1 at a time [00:11] i was looking into something like that [00:12] auto ripper kind of thing [00:12] * holstein checks bookmarks [00:12] realmatt: i think taht is a rather unusual task [00:12] maybe some one made some script for it [00:13] I've heard that there was commercial software in windows that will do it but I'd rather not go that route [00:15] the thing i wanted to do was a jukebox type deal on a server [00:15] just throw in a disc [00:16] it gets ripped however [00:16] and put where ever [00:16] and BOOM [00:16] I've got part of my cd collection ripped and that part is in many different formats [00:16] I want to do the whole thing in flac [00:16] like 6 or 8 at a time [00:17] realmatt: i think it was http://www.frozen.ca/ubuntu-tutorials/6-automatic-cd-ripping-with-abcde [00:17] that seemed promising [00:17] realmatt: in theory, you should be able to config it to do as many as you got CD rom drives [00:18] i was going to be OK just throwing one in ever now and then [00:18] and coming back later and switching it out [00:18] but i wanted the backend to be automated [00:18] just put it in [00:18] come back later and its hanging out of the drive ready for another [00:20] and i dont want to run X on the box [00:20] im still working out a hardware scenario though [00:20] something that has a good spouse approval rating :) [00:21] i was thinking id be fine running mp3blaster in screen [00:21] having the audio playing server-side [00:21] and i can ssh in from whatever box on the network [00:23] interesting [00:23] so I'm guessing it gets the cd info from cddb? [00:23] i was running a http://sockso.pu-gh.com/ [00:23] server [00:23] my girlfriend liked that OK [00:24] and used it [00:24] but the playback was client-side [00:24] realmatt: im assuming you can edit the config file [00:24] and tell it where to get the data [00:24] probably so [00:26] I'm gonna give it a shot [00:26] COOL [00:26] let me know [00:26] word [00:26] :) [03:13] Having trouble keeping JACK connected to my FP10. Getting error: firewire ERR: wait status < 0! (= -1) DRIVER NT: could not run driver cycle after a few seconds. [03:13] Can someone help me troubleshoot? === Se7en is now known as xcfdjse7en [04:49] Do you guys know if fst adds latency like dssi-vst? [04:52] hey dax2112rush [04:52] im going to refer you to #opensourcemusicians [04:52] when im using JACK [04:52] i tend to just get the latency im expecting [04:52] regardless [04:52] but i dont to a lot of MIDI [04:52] holstein: thx, didn't really know where to go [04:52] * holstein assumes you talking about an instrument [04:53] holstein: nope [04:53] audio plugin? [04:53] holstein: I want to run guitar VSTs [04:53] holstein: yep [04:53] what vst's? [04:53] are you using JACK ? [04:54] have you tried rakarrack and guitarix ? [04:54] holstein: mostly Revalver MKIII [04:54] holstein: yes with jack [04:54] you got some kinda wine thing going on with it? [04:55] holstein: no, I might try them, but high gain sounds seems to be hard to do well, most commercial suites are not really good IMO [04:55] rakarrack is awesome :) [04:56] crazy fast too [04:56] holstein: yes, I'm using vsthost in wine right now, but I'd like to try running them under some linux host [04:56] holstein: i'll have a look, are there any sound clips anywhere? [04:57] hmmm [04:57] holstein: found some [04:58] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9bIElOUOX4 [04:58] yeah [04:58] :) [04:59] hello [04:59] * holstein did this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1172535/osmp30.ogg [04:59] in rakarrack ;) [04:59] hey LK :) [05:00] I'm having a problem with exporting files in LMMS... I'm using Windows, but #LMMS suggested I try asking here for help, anyway [05:00] holstein: seems quite ok, not sure amp sim is on par with Revalver MKIII, but I should give it a try [05:01] holstein: thanks [05:03] I made a clip that's four bars long at 140 bpm, and when I export it, I get an 8 second file, but the four bars only take up the first six seconds, with two seconds of silence at the end [05:04] dax2112rush: those guys are super cool too [05:04] transmorgramofix over in #rakarrack [05:04] i sure they are open to suggestions :) [05:05] does anyone know what's going on, here? how I might go about fixing it? [05:05] LK: what program? [05:05] LMMS [05:05] AH [05:05] holstrein: I hope one day I'll be able to spare some time and contribute to some of those projects, I have a few ideas I'd like to try to make amp sims... [05:06] dax2112rush: dude [05:06] try and meet that guy ^^ [05:06] transmogramofx [05:06] really good people [05:06] * holstein is a rakarrack fanboy :) [05:07] ah? [05:07] * holstein is not super familiar with LMMS LK [05:07] holstein: I should, I'll try rakarrak soon [05:07] oh, ok [05:07] from what i know runs both MIDI and audio [05:07] is this mostly MIDI? [05:08] what is generating your sounds? [05:08] LMMS? [05:08] it's audio [05:08] LK: is the exported track playing at the wrong speed? [05:09] or is it just the extra 2 seconds your dealing with? [05:10] LK: hey, there is a #lmms channel :) [05:10] * holstein just checked [05:10] lots of folk got soured on it i think [05:11] because it wasnt really working well with JACK for a long time [05:11] yeah, they're the ones that directed me here [05:11] lol [05:11] well, whats the issue? [05:11] is the track too short? [05:11] playing at a higher pitch? [05:11] LK: what are you exporting to? [05:12] i would try exporting to .wav [05:12] I've tried both WAV and OGG [05:12] same results eh? [05:12] interesting [05:12] LK: has it ever worked? [05:13] all four bars are there, they just end at the 6 second mark, and leave 2 seconds of silence [05:13] or is this your first expot? [05:13] LK: OH [05:13] well thats probably normal [05:13] you can open it up in audacity or soemthing [05:13] and shave it down [05:13] i bet theres an export setting somewhere in there [05:13] lead out [05:13] or silence [05:14] something like that [05:14] ALSO, in ardour [05:14] it matters where the markers are [05:14] you set the markers for the beginning and end [05:14] and ardour processes whatever is in between [05:14] maybe the 'end' is 2 seconds out [05:15] further over that you want it to be [05:15] LK: are you creating a loop? [05:15] yeah [05:16] yeah, id probably just shave it down in audacity [05:16] you can loop the playback [05:16] and check that the edges are cool [05:16] where you want them to be [05:16] weird... this time it gave 3 seconds of silence... [05:16] yeah, thats probably just the way it works [05:17] its not really expecting you to make a loop :) [05:17] have you ever used Acid Pro? [05:17] nah [05:17] ive seen it in action though [05:17] that's what I want to put it into [05:18] how many tracks did you record? [05:18] loops? [05:18] in LMMS [05:18] how many tracks? [05:18] just the one so far [05:18] AH [05:19] yeah, im not a big fan of audacity [05:19] but you can record right into it [05:19] LMMS might be a bit over-functional in the wrong direction for what your doing [05:20] you *can* multi-track in audactiy too [05:20] I've heard Audacity is like Acid, but for the very short time that I saw Audacity, I didn't see any similarity [05:20] but its not ideal [05:20] totally do-able though [05:20] LK: nah [05:20] its not at all [05:20] its more like soundforge i think [05:20] or when i saw soundforge [05:21] version 4.something maybe? [05:21] I personally haven't seen anything like Acid [05:21] i guess if i wanted to do that [05:21] i would just use some MIDI program [05:22] rosegarden or qtractor [05:22] and ardour [05:22] you cant just willy nilly drop loops in though [05:22] i thought LMMS was like that though [05:22] dont wana sound obvious here but srsly if you're on a Windows box .. why dont you use something like FL or something ? [05:22] @ LK [05:23] xcfdjse7en: is that fruity loops? [05:23] is that like acid? [05:23] you mean instead of LMMS? [05:23] yup [05:23] which one is the one where you can just drop loops in? [05:23] that's Acid [05:23] and they kinda just take up whatever space they need [05:23] regardless of sound quality ;) [05:24] although, i thought it did a pretty good job of it [05:24] yea [05:24] I've been working with it since the 3rd vertion [05:24] probably the only reason why I'm still using Windows [05:25] isnt LMMS *supposed* to do that? [05:25] i really just havnet needed to find something with that functionality [05:25] we should have something though [05:25] *should* [05:28] I'm using LMMS instead of FL because I prefer OSS whenever I can [05:29] like I said, Acid is the only program I've ever seen with looping functionality like it has [05:29] wonder if its a legal thing [05:29] no clue [05:29] its not like it cant be done in linux [05:30] if there's a Linux program that does it, it's not cross-platform... [05:31] #opensourcmusicians [05:31] ^^ cool place to hang, and ask wtf is up [05:31] #opensourcemusicians ** [05:33] think they might have a solution? [05:34] hmmm [05:34] maybe [05:34] smart guys over there [05:34] [lsd] is a MIDI guy [05:35] not really sure, its just a cool community [05:35] podshow and all that [05:58] dssi-vst has a dependency on wine1.0. I've got wine1.3 installed that conflicts with wine1.0, is there something I can do to force it to install anyways? [05:59] hmmm [05:59] dax2112rush: im not sure about that [05:59] BUT it might be worth asking falktx [05:59] over in #kxstudio [05:59] he's not in right now [06:00] i konw he has worked on a lot of custom packages [06:00] and there is a PPA [06:01] https://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid [06:01] holstein: you really know who to ask for stuff :) next time I have any question, I'll come over here to help me find an expert :P [06:01] hehe [06:01] holstein: I'll check tommorow if he's there [06:02] cool :) [06:03] holstein: he's got a dssi-vst package, I wonder if it has that same dep problem... [06:03] dax2112rush: i dont think so [06:04] it should be compatible [06:04] dax2112rush: there are a lot of updates in that PPA [06:04] and i recently added it [06:04] and use it [06:04] in lucid [06:04] but dont just go willy nilly installing any of the kx-specific packages [06:04] you can break things [06:05] falk likes the KDE [06:05] dax2112rush: i use PPA purge in ubuntutweak too [06:05] if things go bad [06:05] but, you get JACK2 in there [06:05] and newer versions of ardour [06:05] and i think he said patched RT kernels [06:06] for the proprietary graphics drivers [06:06] smart guy [06:06] holstein: yes lots of nice stuff [06:07] holstein: I don't know what KXStudio is. Ubuntu Studio with KDE? [06:08] dax2112rush: not really [06:08] i mean, yeah [06:08] but he's working on other stuff too [06:08] the pulse-jack bridge [06:08] ie pulse's module-jack-sink and module-jack-src or some other bridge? [06:09] i dont use it [06:09] so im not sure about the particulars [06:09] bacially [06:09] with KX [06:09] JACK is running all the time [06:09] starts when you login [06:09] neat idea [06:09] i'll have a look [06:10] i just use the newer packages :) [06:10] some of them have JACK support added [06:10] mumble is one that i wanted to use [06:10] with JACK [06:10] and i wanted to check out JACK2 [06:11] what are the changes in jack2? [06:12] i cant say ive noticed anything yet [06:12] i mean, it still works ;) [06:12] i just did it on my production box though last week [06:12] and havent really messed with it [06:13] changes are under the hood I guess [06:14] I can't see his dssi-vst package in synaptic... don't know what I'm doing wrong [06:15] dax2112rush: did you update? [06:15] refresh or whatever [06:15] reload [06:15] i think thats the button in synaptic [06:16] holstein: i found it... seems like he has a ppa:falk-t-j and a ppa:falk-t-j/lucid ppa [06:16] i had the first one only [06:17] his dssi-vst installs fine :) [06:18] dax2112rush: :) [06:49] holstein: ddsi-vst works with my plugin, fst does not tho [06:50] :/ [06:50] holstein: thanks a lot for your help [06:50] well, now you know [06:50] i need some rest now! bye [06:50] dax2112rush: anytime :) [06:50] gn [08:14] 869 [08:16] You were sayin'? [08:16] testing [08:16] :) [08:16] Gotcha. :) [15:48] Having issues with printer, found driver that's near, but quality is less than desired. Found some info in the Ubuntu board, need help installing. [16:24] prep: Where are you stuck? What info did you find? [16:25] found drivers on Canon Europe site, downloaded .tar, not sure how to install [16:27] this post gives instructions :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163533 [16:31] So you got a .tar file now, open resource manager, and double-click on it. You should be presented an archive manager, I suppose. Or are you terminal-capable? [16:34] still learning my way around the terminal [16:36] unpacked one, I have .deb file [16:36] If you double-click on it, can you choose gdebi there? === Se7en is now known as Se7en|afk [16:37] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: cnijfilter-common (>= 3.00) [16:39] The instructions say it works only on karmic (9.10), which version are you running? [16:40] Maverick. [16:40] Wait, you only have *one* .deb file when you untar the package? [16:40] Ooh. [16:41] No there's a few, one for printer, and scanner [16:41] So is there one with that name, that's not satisfiable? [16:41] The Ubuntu repo pulls a MP 180, mine is a 190. Only gives me 600x600DPI printing, when it's capable of 4800x1200 [16:42] yes E cnijfilter-common is not [16:42] I mean is one of the .debs from that .tar named as such? [16:43] If yes, then install that first. [16:46] ok gave me the error after running for a minute of : Failed to complete install all dependencies" To fix this run sudo apt-get install-f" in Terminal window. I did, got another error [16:47] What's the other error? [16:49] E: Invalid operation install-f [16:50] Oh, I assumed that was a typo. There's a space between install and -f. [16:51] ok, running now [16:52] what next [16:54] Have you installed all the packages that came in that .tar? [16:56] second one, the one i tried to install first gave same error, brought up Software Manager, but this time gave me option to install. The gave error: There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry [16:57] Doesn't look like Maverick is all too ready just yet. Might wanna give it a go a month from now. [16:58] crap. need my printer for work. [16:58] Work should not be done on a distro that's still during its devel cycle. [16:59] like I said worked with MP180 driver, but only 600x600DPI, and it's always been that way, even on Lucid stable [16:59] But okay, let's try it in terminal, screw apt-daemon. [16:59] ok [17:00] Open one, cd to the directory where you have the .tar. Do `ls', and can you see the .debs there? [17:00] If not, do `tar xf *.tar'. [17:01] If yes, do `sudo dpkg -i *.deb' [17:01] .tar is in my downloads folder [17:01] Okay, might wanna create a sub-folder or move it someplace else where you don't have anything else. [17:02] If you wanna create a sub-folder, do `mkdir tmp', then `mv tmp/' [17:02] Replace with the name of the .tar file. [17:03] Then `cd tmp/' [17:03] ok created printer folder [17:03] Then `tar xf *.tar', and `sudo dpkg -i *.deb'. [17:03] Alright, have you moved the .tar there? [17:03] no, do I need to? [17:04] Yes, by `mv tmp/', and remember to replace with the name of the .tar file. [17:04] you cant set the quality on the one from the repo prep ? [17:04] Holstein, no 600x600 is the most the 180 driver gives me other than automatic [17:05] prep: did you try forcing another version? [17:06] well it changes the name to the correct printer, how do I force another version? [17:06] ive done it a couple ways [17:06] but in the wizard you can [17:06] reintalling 180 now [17:06] AH [17:07] astraljava: holla :) [17:07] you running him off? [17:07] * holstein hopes not :/ [17:08] ok, when installing, ran "searching for 190" after I seleced 180 driver, then a window came up asking me to choose a driver again [17:09] well [17:09] when i have doen this inthe past [17:09] printing test page [17:09] i have trouble shooted using up to 10 or so different drivers [17:09] ok working as usual, so how do I force another version? [17:09] Hey holstein. :) [17:10] i would just do it int he wizard [17:10] i want to add a new printer [17:10] here it is, and this is what it is [17:10] i forget how that looks [17:11] the printer wizard?> [17:11] yeah [17:11] the 'add a printer' wizard [17:11] ok, there [17:12] shows my printer connected [17:12] yup [17:12] you can get rid of that one [17:12] since it aint 'giving up the funk' [17:12] and click on 'add' [17:12] nah just lets me select devices, I did add, another one [17:13] There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-found when trying to delete [17:14] might have to go to http://localhost:631/ [17:14] got it deleted [17:15] ok add printer [17:15] yeah, and just tell it its a different printer [17:15] there is also a place to use a different driver [17:15] * holstein phone [17:18] selected MP 220, still only giving 600 dpi [17:20] under the 180 and 220 driver, print quality is off compared to recent === Se7en|afk is now known as Se7en [17:24] prep: thats how you do it [17:25] well weird thing is with my 180, least I was getting decent images, now total crap [17:25] now 180 is crap [17:25] thats OK [17:26] you dont want to use that one anyway right?? [17:26] lets look to the future, when your printing at whatever resolution you want :) [17:26] So how far from the original driver should I go? I went to the 220 [17:28] heres a good read http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?25,9258,11952 [17:28] prep: i have literally tried 10+ different ones [17:29] at times [17:33] Looking [17:34] went to a 360, still stuck at 600, gee's [17:38] prep: did you have the printer uninstalled before trying that .deb? [17:38] yes [17:38] hmmm [17:39] prep: lets go back to that [17:40] because there really shouldnt much different about karmic and lucid [17:40] OH [17:40] prep: your running maverick :/ [17:40] yeah, you might just have to wait like astraljava suggested [17:40] til it goes final [17:40] and go from there [17:41]
