dludldinhello everybody!18:54
holsteindludldin: hello :)18:55
dludldinright know tuxguitar is working fine with me but i had problems to get it ok18:56
holsteindo share18:57
dludldinat this moment im making an update perhaps this could solve the problem but anyway if don't i guess that tuxguitar 1.1 and 1.2 have problems with java synth19:00
holsteinOH19:01
holsteini remember tuxguitar now19:01
holsteini dont need tablature19:01
holsteinSO i just kinda opened it up19:01
dludldinwhen java synth is enabled tuxguitar takes its time to run apox 1minute maybe less19:01
holsteinmaybe in karmic?19:01
holsteinis that for monitoring?19:01
holsteini would probably just route tuxguitar to whatever synth i want to use19:02
holsteinin JACK19:02
holsteinassuming it has proper JACK support19:02
holsteini did not try that19:02
dludldinjack is another one that gave me issues too19:02
holsteinhow so?19:03
holsteinthat is kinda the 'heart' of the linux audio system19:03
dludldinfor what i can remember first time i installed jack was in a fluydsynt plugin to tuxguitar that consequently had to install jack19:04
holsteinsounds right19:04
dludldindont know if jack works i havent tested yet19:05
holsteinagain, thats really the center of it all19:06
holsteinlearning JACK19:06
holsteinand getting it running properly is key19:06
dludldinafter solving jack's non starting problem i havent tested at least it runs know19:07
holsteinyou dont have to, but its SO handy19:07
holsteinand like your situation19:07
holsteinwhen you need to route a synth from something like tuxguitar19:07
holsteinyou just make the connection in JACK19:07
dludldinis it 0.4% at jack o.k.?19:09
holsteinwell, what are your settings?19:09
holsteindid you start from 'jack control'?19:09
dludldinyes19:10
holsteinso, click on setup19:11
holsteinthe 'settings' tab19:12
holsteinyou using the alsa driver with an internal sound card?19:12
dludldinyap19:12
holsteinOK19:12
holsteinin the lower right19:12
holsteinwhat is the latency?19:12
holsteinin msec ?19:13
dludldin46.419:13
dludldin46.4 msec19:13
holsteinOK19:13
holsteinthats decent for an internal card19:13
holsteinyou see in the middle there?19:14
holsteinsample rate?19:14
holsteini set that, and suggest that be set to 4100019:14
holsteinabove and below that19:14
holsteinframes/period19:14
dludldin4410019:14
holsteinand period/buffers19:14
holsteinthose are the 2 settings we 'tweak'19:14
holsteinto effect the latency19:14
holsteinyou might not need the latency to be lower19:15
holsteinIF19:15
dludldin1024 219:15
holsteinwhen you run programs19:15
holsteinyou get xruns19:15
holsteinyou can come here and change those settings19:15
holsteinraise them19:15
holsteinmaybe to19:15
holstein1024 319:15
holsteinthat kind of tweak will increase your latency19:15
holsteinpotentially fixing that xrun issue19:16
holsteinIF you have the issue19:16
holsteinthe only reason to need super low latency19:16
holsteinis if you are doing live effects processing19:16
holsteinSAY, you got your guitar plugged in to your sound card19:16
holsteinyou route that in JACK to rakarrack19:16
holsteinand out to your sound card19:17
holsteinyou play your guitar19:17
holsteinand 46ms later19:17
holsteinyou hear the effected signal19:17
holsteinthats not too good19:17
holsteinOR19:17
dludldini have to test it if it sounds good19:17
holsteinif you have a midi synth plugged in19:17
holsteinyou'll play a note19:17
holsteinand 46ms later19:18
holsteinyou hear the sound you have selected19:18
holsteinagain, probably unwanted19:18
holsteinIF you dont have these 'realtime' requirements19:18
holsteinthen, dont sweat it19:18
dludldindo you know if these three messages are bad   sh: artsshell: not found ,JACK: unable to mlock() port buffers: Cannot allocate memory,cannot lock down memory for RT thread19:19
holsteinyeah19:20
holsteinJACK is not running then19:20
holsteinis this lucid?19:20
holstein10.04?19:20
dludldinyes19:20
holsteinin 'setup'19:20
holsteinsee the checkbox for realtime?19:21
dludldinyap19:21
holsteinuncheck that if its checked19:21
holsteinthen say 'ok'19:21
holsteinand close jack control19:21
holsteinopen a terminal19:21
holsteinand type19:21
holsteinsudo adduser dludldin audio19:21

holsteinand typr19:27
holsteintype*19:27
holsteinsudo qjackctl19:27
holsteinand see if JACK starts19:28
holsteinthen we'll talk about trouble shooting further19:28
dludldinin terminal i get suspending pulse audio and in jack messages 19:28:45.722 Patchbay deactivated.19:30
dludldin19:28:45.832 Statistics reset.19:30
dludldin19:28:45.871 ALSA connection graph change.19:30
dludldin19:28:46.125 ALSA connection change.19:30
holsteinOK19:30
holsteinis JACK running though?19:30
dludldinno19:30
holsteinsays 'stopped'19:30
holsteinin the main window?19:30
