It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org
[15:21] <maavihs> other then the extra apps
[15:21] <rlameiro> maavihs: the desktop is streamlined
[15:21] <jussi> not much, few settings to make it better for audio
[15:21] <rlameiro> its ver simple, maximazing the desktop are
[15:22] <rlameiro> and uses fixed network setup, to avoid constant polling
[15:22] <rlameiro> this way taxes less the CPU
[15:22] <maavihs> hmmm......any more changes than that?
[15:23] <rlameiro> you have less generalistic software installed by default
[15:23] <maavihs> any idea when is the Ubuntu Studio 10.10 coming out?

[17:58] <rOjo> i'm an amateur DJ/Producer from méxico... and have just heard about UbuntuStudio, anyone here have tried xwax (http://www.xwax.co.uk) with ubuntustudio?
[18:02] <Sikil> Hi, i'm an amateur DJ/Producer from méxico... and have just heard about UbuntuStudio, anyone here have tried xwax (http://www.xwax.co.uk) with ubuntustudio?
[18:07] <ScottL> hi Sikil or r0jo
[18:07] <ScottL> i have heard of others using xwax but i have not myself
[18:07] <ScottL> do you need a tutorial?
[18:20] <Sikil> :-/
[18:21] <Sikil> looks like i have problems with the webclient..
[18:21] <holstein> whats going on Sikil ?
[18:21] <Sikil> ScottL, you mentioned a tutorial for ubuntustudio and xwax is there one?
[18:22] <Sikil> kind of google about those topics but i missed it...
[18:22] <Sikil> i googled about it, i mean..
[18:23] <holstein> hey, looks like xwax is in the repos
[18:23]  * holstein installing
[18:24] <holstein> looks like its coming from the universe repostitory
[18:25] <Sikil> hey holstein, jusr heard about this ubuntu version and i'm going to install it today.. trying to get a DVS form my DJ setup.
[18:28] <holstein> i have only used http://sourceforge.net/projects/idjc/
[18:28] <Sikil_> arggh.. i guess i'll need to install a desktop IRC client...
[18:28] <ScottL> Sikil, this is a good place for ubuntu studio   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio
[18:28] <ScottL> although it's not really a tutorial since ubuntu studio is a operating system geared towards multimedia
[18:29] <Sikil_> the thing is that if ubuntu studio supports ALSA it's like almost done with xwax mos people poblems with xwax on ubutun is because the oficial distro does not include ALSA preconfigured...
[18:29] <Sikil_> well i'm just assuming that...
[18:30] <ScottL> i'm not sur what you mean by 'does not include ALSA preconfigured' Sikil_
[18:30] <ScottL> are you referring to the ubuntu studio or to xwax
[18:33] <Sikil> :-/
[18:33] <Sikil> just regular ubuntu i mean.. wich comes with pulseaudio right?
[18:34] <holstein> so does ubuntustudio
[18:34] <holstein> BUT thats not the problem im having with xwax
[18:35] <Sikil> you know what.. i'll better read a about it and try it.. then i'll come back with a good irc lcitn cause this (http://webchat.freenode.net/) and frigg seems to have issues..
[18:36] <Sikil> frigg [~frigg@freenode/utility-bot/frigg] requested CTCP VERSION from Sikil:
[18:36] <rlameiro> Sikil: that is normal, these request happen always
[18:38] <Sikil> Well, thanks people...  saludos from México.
[18:39] <holstein> well, whatever xwax is suppose to do, it doesnt seem to want to do it
[18:43] <ScottL> denada
[23:23] <Tweaky> hi :) could anyone explain the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu studio?
[23:25] <ianm_> Tweaky: I think Studio has different default programs and sound configuration, at least
[23:26] <Tweaky> ianm_:  just curious because i do use linux for audio recording but dunno what the difference is
[23:27] <ianm_> Tweaky: I think it uses JACK instead of PulseAudio and comes with more media creation apps installed, plus aesthetic differences
[23:29] <Tweaky> ianm_: is there an advantage to using JACK?
[23:29] <ianm_> Tweaky: depends what you're doing-- I think it's better for low latency / professional audio stuff
[23:30] <ianm_> Tweaky: for playing music, for basic recording, ALSA or PulseAudio seems fine
[23:32] <Tweaky> ianm_: thanks for the info :) appreciate it
[23:59]  * persia idly mentions that ALSA is configured to work by default, and all the pulse stuff is just an overlay
