toe_hey whats up01:29
toe_can i  open my existing projectsfrom cubase with ardour01:30
holsteinhey toe_01:30
holsteinthere is a converter app01:30
holsteini forget what its called01:31
holsteinand i have not used it01:31
holsteinthe way i do it...01:31
holsteini export the wav files from cubase01:31
holsteinwithout effects or automaion01:31
holsteinand import them into ardour01:31
toe_oh i forgot the wav files are atomatically save to the folder01:32
toe_only problem is a couple of them i recorded over the tracks so theres ex  bass.wav to bass13.wav01:33
toe_but obviously the one with bigger size is the correct one01:34
toe_how would i have each individual port  designated to a certain track01:35
toe_in ardour01:36
holsteinport?01:36
holsteinSAY01:36
holsteinyou have a project01:36
holsteinin cubase01:36
holsteinwith 4 tracks01:36
holsteinjust export them seperately01:36
holsteinOR01:36
holsteinfish around for the wavs like your talking about01:36
toe_remote controller id maybe01:37
holsteinand just import them into ardour01:37
holsteinone at a time01:37
holsteinas separate tracks01:37
toe_no i mean if im starting a new project sorry01:37
holsteinjust like they were in cubase01:37
holsteintoe_: AH01:37
holsteinyou use JACK01:37
holsteinyou can do it in ardour too01:37
holsteinin JACK01:38
holsteinthe 'connections'01:38
holsteinarea01:38
holsteinyou'll see your sound cards ins and outs01:38
holsteinand if ardour is running01:38
holsteinyou'll see ardours channels/tracks ins and outs01:38
holsteinyou just route them however you want01:38
holsteinin/out01:38
holsteinto external effects01:38
holsteinor other hardware01:39
holsteinother JACK aware software01:39
holsteinwhere ever you want01:39
toe_i dont get what you mean. in cubase you assign each track . i dont see connections as well01:42
holsteinOK01:43
holsteinin cubase01:43
holsteinyou only use cubase01:43
holsteinwith JACK01:43
holsteinyou can interconnect all kinds of apps01:43
holsteinnot just ardour01:43
holsteinsay i have my guitar plugged into the firepod01:44
holsteininto channel 401:44
holsteini can route channel 4 over into rakarrack01:44
holsteinand add an effect in realtime01:44
holsteinroute that effected signal to track 1 in ardour01:45
holsteinand route the dry guitar signal to another track in ardour01:45
holsteinmaybe track 201:45
holsteinthen, say i got a drum machine programmed01:45
holsteinin hydrogen01:45
holsteinmabye snare kick and hihat01:45
holsteini can route those to separate tracks in ardour01:46
holsteinmaybe 3 4 and 501:46
holsteinJACK is like a patchbay01:46
holsteinTHEN01:47
holsteinlets say i want to use something like darkice01:47
holsteinto stream that to the internet while im recording01:47
holsteini can route the main out or ardour to darkice's input01:47
holsteinin JACK's connections window01:47
holsteintoe_: there are little plus signs01:47
holstein+01:47
holsteinin connections01:48
holsteinif you expand those01:48
holsteinyou should see all 8 ins01:48
holsteinand the outs on the right side01:48
holsteinthere is a simple way to assign these from inside ardour too01:48
holsteinin the mixer somewhere01:48
toe_give me a second my computers having a meltdown. i tried running rakarak and it said error cannt run jack because of jackd01:49
toe_so now my computer is acting like a peice of crap and rakarak is maybe loading im not sure i might just take the easy route and hit the wer button01:51
holsteinwhat are the specs?01:51
holsteinif you dont have a realtime kernel01:52
holsteinand the latency set really low01:52
holsteinno reason to run rakarrack01:52
holsteini have several different JACK profiles01:52
toe_be right back im hitting the power . i was going to see what effects i can do01:52
holsteinone for mixing which is quite relaxed01:52
holsteinmaybe 40 ms latency01:52
holsteinBUT i have one for doing realtime effects and tracking things like that01:53
holsteinsynths.. whatever01:53
holsteinthat is set at like 1.2 ms01:53
toe_ok so i got jack up and going and adour . so do i hit connect then that bring up a window i assmue for selecting programs to associate with02:06
holsteinpretty much02:07
holsteinyou get JACK going first02:07
holsteinlike you have02:07
holsteinthen02:07
holsteinopen whatever else you want to use02:07
holsteinthen02:07
holsteingo back to the JACK window02:07
holsteinand click 'connect'02:07
holsteinthats where you'll see the connections that are possible02:08
toe_only thing i dont see is channel 8 which i use for guitar02:08
holsteinyou'll be interested in the ones under the audio tabe02:08
holsteintab*02:08
holsteintoe_: hmmm02:08
holsteinthey used to be labeled 1 through 802:09
holsteinthe packages im using now02:09
holsteinthey are labled 1L 2R 3L 4R02:09
holsteinlike that02:09
holstein8 should be there02:09
toe_no audio 5/out 1 audio 5/out 202:10
toe_audio 1- 7 all the same02:10
holsteinhmmm02:10
holsteinnot sure what you mean02:10
toe_audio 1/out 102:11
toe_audio 1/out 202:11
holsteinAH02:11
holsteinthats ardour channels02:11
holsteintracks02:11
toe_like that threw audio 7 id assume that 7 is port 702:11
holsteinout 1 is left out 2 is right02:12
holsteini think your in the ardour seciton02:12
holsteinand not the one for your presonus02:12
holsteinthis is the learning curve02:12
holsteinBUT there really is nothing like it02:12
holsteinso much like a patchbay02:13
holsteinthere are graphical frontends for it02:13
toe_oh yea i am02:13
holsteinhttp://ladish.org/wiki/screenshots02:13
holsteinhttp://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/download/jp1/index.html02:14
holsteinthere's always options with linux02:14
holsteinif a certain workflow doesnt work for you02:14
holsteini just like to introduce this as the first choice02:15
lasconichi there11:20
lasconicI'm one of the dev of MuseScore11:20
lasconicMuseScore is in the meta packages of ubuntustudio11:21
lasconicbut it's often named mscore11:21
lasconicthis package is deprecated now11:21
lasconicthe new package name is musescore11:21
lasconichttp://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/musescore11:22
lasconiccan it be changed in the software list ?11:22
lasconichttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageSelectionDevelopment11:25
persialasconic, We kept the name "mscore" to ensure that users who had it installed before the name change would automatically get "musecore" installed.13:32
persiaChecking now, it looks like we can safely remove the "mscore" dummy package, so we'll do so for natty.13:33
persiaWe can't change it in the software list for things already released, but the description for the "mscore" package is "The package `mscore` has been renamed to `musescore`", and the "mscore" package contains *only* machine-readable instructions to install musescore.13:34
persiaAh, we can't actually remove it yet: because it would break upgrades for Debian users.  We'll remove it as soon as Debian Squeeze releases.13:41
lasconicpersia: thanks14:21
lasconicit's just easier for us to follow discussions with musescore14:21
lasconicI find out totally by chance that MuseScore could be included by default in ubuntu studio14:22
persialasconic, Sorry it takes so long to migrate: you'll probably still find traces of the transition packages laying around for the next 5 years, but we did move the real package name around the time you did: just takes us this long to do things.14:22
lasconicno problem !14:22
persiaYeah.  It's really nice, and getting better along the way.14:22
lasconicyes! working on new nice things like guitar tabs support :)14:23
lasconicthe community will love to hear that next ubuntu stuidio will include musescore by default14:24
persiaIt will likely be a while before there is a final decision.  My understanding is that there is an intent to try using musescore for score editing by default for Alpha 1, and if that is received well, staying with it.14:26
lasconicgreat14:26
lasconicif I can help with something regarding musescore don't hesitate14:27
lasconicdevs are on #musescore14:27
persiaThanks!  Where's the best place to find you?14:27
persiaOh, cool.14:27
lasconicor my nickname14:27
persiaI'll definitely point folk there if we encounter specific issues.14:27
lasconicgmail.com14:27
persiaWe tend to be IRC-focused, but thanks also for the email, just in case.14:27
lasconicIRC is fine14:28
persiaScottL, ^^^14:28
nemptorhello everybody. i need help with my problem with gtick, anyone?14:33
persiaWhat is the problem?14:34
nemptorin the sound device is /usr/bin/jackd and when i start gtick in terminal i got /usr/bin/jackd permission denied14:35
persiaHrm.  I think you need someone who uses gtick (wait a bit, and someone may appear).  /usr/bin/jackd is a program, rather than a sound device, although it may be that the gtick UI glosses over that.14:36
holsteinnemptor: are you running JACK?14:37
nemptorthanks persia14:37
nemptorhello holstein yes im using jack14:37
nemptorholstein: but i don't start jack control when i use gtick14:37
holsteindo you start JACK?14:38
nemptorholstein: i having the same problem with gtick eventhough i dont start jack14:38
holsteinright14:38
holsteingtick will be looking for JACK14:38
holsteinget jack started14:39
nemptorholstein: its the same problem too eventhough jack is started14:39
holsteinAH14:39
holsteinwell, i think thats one of te apps getting pulled from the metapackage14:39
nemptorholstein: sorry can't explain it properly here :)14:39
holsteinthe apps*14:39
holsteinnemptor: your doing fine :)14:39
holsteinnemptor: there is a metronome in ardour14:39
holsteinother apps have them built in as well14:40
holsteinits easy to throw a little drum pattern in hydrogen as well14:40
nemptorhmm. i know :) but i would just like to use other metronome program14:40
nemptorok i think i'll use ardour for metronome14:41
holsteinAFAIK, gtick is not being developed anymore14:41
nemptoroh ok thanks for that info14:41
nemptorthanks for all the help :)14:42
nemptorcan i ask another question?14:42
holsteinyou can always ask whatever you want14:43
nemptorhow can i use hydrogen in ardour?14:43
holsteindepends on how you want to 'use' it14:44
holsteinanything can be routed to anything in JACK14:44
holsteinsay you have 3 drum sounds14:44
holsteinsnare kick and hihat14:44
holsteinyou can tell hydrogen to use seperate outputs per sound14:45
holsteininstead of stereo14:45
holsteinSO you go make 3 tracks in ardour14:45
nemptorok14:45
holsteinroute the outputs of hydrogen in 'connect' in JACK14:45
nemptorso thru jack ardour will hear hydrogen?14:45
nemptorok14:46
nemptorill try that now14:46
holsteinJACK is just like a patchbay14:46
holsteinalright... i gotta run to a session... laterx14:46
holsteingood luck nemptor14:46
nemptorok14:46
nemptorthanks again14:46
holsteingood to see you persia :)14:46
nemptorsee yah14:47
holsteinlasconic: musescore rocks .. w00t!14:47
lasconicholstein: thanks14:48
nemptorcan you give me a link for a tutorial of jack, also for ardour and hydrogen?14:48
nemptorbye for now thanks for the help14:56
ryanpghi all, I seem to be missing most plugins and effects in audacity18:05
ryanpgI have a ton of ladspa plugins installed, but most (maybe all) aren't showing up, neither are the built-in ones like "normalize"18:06
ryanpgany thoughts?18:06
ryanpgthis is running maverick18:06
