| Fezzler | Does REAPER work in Ubuntu? | 01:37 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | looking at the screenshots | 01:37 |
| holstein | it looks alot like http://www.renoise.com/ | 01:38 |
| holstein | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3336 | 01:38 |
| holstein | i would ask over in #opensourcemusicians Fezzler | 01:39 |
| holstein | see if anyone acutally uses it | 01:39 |
| holstein | i remember seeing some chatter | 01:39 |
| holstein | but i forget what the final word was | 01:39 |
| Fezzler | u use renoise? | 01:39 |
| holstein | i checked out the demo | 01:39 |
| holstein | seemed cool | 01:39 |
| holstein | ardour is really the tool that fits my needs best | 01:39 |
| Fezzler | I bounce around. REAPER, ProTools, Audacity, Ardour, Live | 01:40 |
| holstein | i really dont do anything that requires live | 01:41 |
| Fezzler | REAPER IRC on MIXXNET | 01:41 |
| holstein | and i found the UI quite strange | 01:41 |
| holstein | audacity doesnt do multitrack well | 01:42 |
| holstein | i really dont know much about reaper | 01:42 |
| Fezzler | It is odd. But it is one of those pieces of software if you go thru the tutorials, it begins to make sense and you realize why it is so darn innovative | 01:42 |
| holstein | live? | 01:42 |
| Fezzler | yea | 01:42 |
| holstein | thats what ive heard | 01:42 |
| holstein | i really dont do much MIDI or electronic music | 01:43 |
| holstein | and when i do | 01:43 |
| Fezzler | also, and I am new to recording, for some reason Live has produced some of my best mixes | 01:43 |
| ScottL | Fezzler, i believe reaper will work with ubuntu but requires wine of course | 01:43 |
| holstein | i tend to treat it more like an anolog source | 01:43 |
| holstein | yeah, its not going to hurt anything to try reaper | 01:44 |
| holstein | just get wine and go for it | 01:44 |
| Fezzler | guitar player - but I do use software drums and shakers and horns | 01:44 |
| holstein | and poke around on wineHQ | 01:44 |
| Fezzler | ScottL>> Thanks! | 01:44 |
| Fezzler | I have wine installed | 01:44 |
| ScottL | Fezzler, if you check the reaper forums you should find someone called "alex stone" (i think) who did a bunch of work with it | 01:44 |
| holstein | AH, thats cool | 01:45 |
| Fezzler | ScottL>> Thanks | 01:48 |
| Fezzler | Beginning mixer, but my best results have been when I track each drum component individually | 01:50 |
| holstein | best sounding? | 01:51 |
| holstein | or best groove? | 01:51 |
| holstein | might have to find a happy middle ground | 01:52 |
| holstein | read about some recording techniques | 01:52 |
| holstein | if your having phase issues | 01:52 |
| Fezzler | sounding. when I put drum track on one track, mix is always muddy | 01:52 |
| holstein | close mic-ing each drum? | 01:53 |
| holstein | with like 4 or 6 tracks? | 01:53 |
| Fezzler | midi / wave drums | 01:53 |
| holstein | OH | 01:53 |
| holstein | that shouldnt matter then | 01:53 |
| holstein | you can tell hydrogen to spit each drum out separatly to JACK | 01:54 |
| holstein | so you can mix them like an actual kit | 01:54 |
| Fezzler | yes, I like hydrogen. I think tracking each drum opens up mix, but what do I know | 01:58 |
| holstein | hey | 02:01 |
| holstein | if it sounds good | 02:01 |
| holstein | go for it | 02:01 |
| Fezzler | fun learning, just wish I had more time | 02:01 |
| Fezzler | and money for instructions | 02:01 |
| holstein | nah | 02:01 |
| holstein | you can get help online | 02:01 |
| Fezzler | well, I've read about panning. volume is easy. I need to learn more about EQ, Gate, Compression | 02:03 |
| Fezzler | I also found my best results are when I add only subtle effect. | 02:04 |
| Fezzler | anyone try rakarack | 02:05 |
| * holstein is a rakarrack fanboy :) | 02:06 | |
| Fezzler | Oh! Struck a nerve. :) | 02:06 |
| Fezzler | I should check it out then | 02:07 |
| holstein | those guys are really great too | 02:07 |
| holstein | quite an active project | 02:10 |
| ScottL | i second rakarrack, awesome jack-aware application | 02:12 |
| holstein | crazy light-weight too | 02:13 |
| holstein | for what all it does | 02:13 |
| Fezzler | holstein>> just installed it | 02:18 |
| ScottL | i think one of the newer developers actually knows about electrical engineering | 02:19 |
| Fezzler | holstein>> so my guitar should be recorded clean and then add Rakarack effects | 02:22 |
| holstein | i usually track with it on | 02:22 |
| holstein | and take a wet and dry channel | 02:22 |
| holstein | then, i got options | 02:22 |
| Fezzler | holstein>> I bet you can remap too. Put clean on one track, output to new track with rakarrack | 02:23 |
| holstein | yup | 02:23 |
| holstein | in JACK | 02:23 |
| holstein | you can route the clean one where ever after the fact | 02:24 |
| Fezzler | I use my DigiTech RP250 as my audio input device. Not sure it does clean or aka bypass | 02:25 |
| Fezzler | I think it has a "Direct" | 02:26 |
| holstein | yeah | 02:28 |
| holstein | maybe you can get both going in | 02:28 |
| holstein | on 2 tracks | 02:28 |
| Fezzler | unless my Ubuntu PC has a firewire in port, I have a M-Audio Firewire 410 | 02:28 |
| holstein | yeah | 02:29 |
| holstein | i got a firepod | 02:29 |
| Fezzler | Firepod a line 6 product? | 02:29 |
| Fezzler | or Presonus? | 02:30 |
| holstein | presonus firepod | 02:31 |
| holstein | FP-10 they call it now | 02:31 |
| Fezzler | just looked it up -sweet | 02:31 |
| holstein | yeah, it works well | 02:32 |
| holstein | decent preamps | 02:32 |
| holstein | 8 balanced ins | 02:32 |
| holstein | !play | 02:33 |
| holstein | sorry | 02:33 |
| Fezzler | Lots of options with the FP-10 | 02:35 |
| holstein | around 400 too | 02:36 |
| holstein | US $ | 02:36 |
| Fezzler | here is what I have http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_au/FireWire410.html | 02:37 |
| Fezzler | It is somewhat quirky because it requires a complete shutdown to plug-in, unplug. Sometime "sleeping" the computer works too. | 02:38 |
| holstein | OH | 02:39 |
| holstein | that could be the chipset | 02:39 |
| holstein | http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/24 :/ | 02:40 |
| Fezzler | well - looks like no go in Linux for M-Audio FW 410 per your link | 02:43 |
| holstein | yup | 02:43 |
| Fezzler | Firepod does though have Linux driver (or works with alsa?) | 02:44 |
| holstein | ffado | 02:46 |
| holstein | the firewire driver in JACK | 02:46 |
| holstein | just works :) | 02:46 |
| holstein | ffado is where to check | 02:46 |
| Fezzler | should I try or not bother? | 02:47 |
| holstein | with the firewire 410? | 02:47 |
| Fezzler | yup | 02:47 |
| holstein | wont hurt to plug it in and see | 02:47 |
| holstein | but the ffado site is pretty current | 02:48 |
| holstein | they have an active mailing list too | 02:48 |
| Fezzler | holstein>> see ya | 03:10 |
| holstein | Fezzler: :) | 03:10 |
| Fezzler | holstein>> gonna give rakarack a try and just capture a clean as possible tone from RP250 | 03:10 |
| holstein | rakarrack FTW :) | 03:11 |
| Fezzler | I've learned not only does playing guitar turn one into a gear head but also a tone head! | 03:13 |
| holstein | hehe | 03:13 |
| Fezzler | I'm so glad I took this hobby up. Just wish I started 30 years ago | 03:14 |
| Fezzler | holstein>> | 03:44 |
| Fezzler | rakarack Q: here? | 03:45 |
| holstein | sure | 03:45 |
| holstein | theres a channel too though | 03:45 |
