[01:12] <Semitones> funkyHat!!!!
[01:12] <Semitones> fancy seeing you here
[01:12] <Semitones> :)
[01:12] <Semitones> hello everybody!
[01:13] <Semitones> I'm buying a midi controller for USB for my laptop and midi keyboard -- do all of them generally work with ubuntu/ubuntu studio? or are there some to get or avoid?
[03:58] <holstein> Semitones: hey
[03:58] <holstein> i have an maudio
[03:58] <holstein> out of the box support
[03:58] <holstein> you dont have to buy it at a box store
[03:58] <holstein> BUT maybe you can take a laptop in and just make sure what your looking at works
[03:59] <holstein> OR make sure you can return it
[03:59] <holstein> just in case
[04:53] <nimbiotics> Hello all. Using ubuntu 10.10 I followed the instructions found at (http://tinyurl.com/3a3r2vl), I added the last four lines to my 'default.pa' (http://pastebin.com/4k5aFrnd) in order to permanently merge a sink and a source, but its not working. I got the source and sink names with 'pacmd info' (http://pastebin.com/s8EdwEsr) I beg your help to figure this out, TIA!
[04:55] <Semitones> holstein, thanks, the stores where I live are very limited when it comes to midi stuff, but that's great to hear that yours was supported out of the box
[05:10] <holstein> hey nimbiotics
[05:10] <holstein> what are you trying to do?
[05:12] <nimbiotics> all i want to do is be able to record certain phone calls i make thru google voice. the instructions worked fine, excepti I cant make the changes persistent
[05:12] <nimbiotics> holstein: all i want to do is be able to record certain phone calls i make thru google voice. the instructions worked fine, excepti I cant make the changes persistent
[05:13] <holstein> i know [lsd] over in #opensourcemusicians used skype with his podcast
[05:14] <holstein> that would have been with JACK
[05:16] <holstein> maybe you just need to script something
[05:16] <holstein> and have it run at startup
[05:17] <holstein> nimbiotics: is this for podcasting purposes?
[05:18] <nimbiotics> yes, i run a radio show. at home or office we've no problem but when im on the road i use google voice a lot and I need to record (and many times transcript) lots of interviews
[05:20] <holstein> we've been using mumble
[05:20] <holstein> http://mumble.sourceforge.net/
[05:20] <holstein> nice cross platform, low-latency kind of thing
[05:20] <nimbiotics> i figured that much, i use it at home to play over the lan
[05:20] <holstein> with JACK support on the way
[05:21] <holstein> and an android client in beta :)
[05:21] <nimbiotics> cool
[05:21] <holstein> nimbiotics: SO, you have to be streaming?
[05:21] <holstein> while in google talk?
[05:22] <holstein> can you just be in Gtalk
[05:22] <nimbiotics> recording
[05:22] <holstein> and run a recorder beside it
[05:22] <nimbiotics> what is Gtalk?
[05:22] <holstein> google voice or whatever
[05:22] <holstein> you got google voice running alreayd
[05:22] <holstein> already*
[05:23] <holstein> can you just fire up audacity?
[05:23] <holstein> and record?
[05:24] <nimbiotics> yes but i can only get ONE side of the conversation so I've searched and searched and finaly hit something that works (http://tinyurl.com/3a3r2vl); I just cannot make the changes permanent even though it is explained in the tutorial
[05:24] <holstein> nimbiotics: which side?
[05:24] <holstein> your side?
[05:25] <nimbiotics> holstein: i can get either
[05:26] <holstein> ask around over in #opensourcemusicians
[05:26] <holstein> i know they do it
[05:26] <holstein> and ive never needed to make it work
[05:26] <holstein> more than what we do with mumble
[05:27] <nimbiotics> ok, thanks a lot, at least you gave me a hint, im geting scolded by ohsix at #pulseaudio
[05:28] <holstein> ;)
[05:29] <nimbiotics> mumble is a GREAT product, I've been using it for over a year just to play over the lan at home with my son and neighbors. I love the fact that the server is light as feather
[05:29] <holstein> and easy to get going
[05:30] <nimbiotics> yes it is
[05:30] <holstein> cross platform clients :)
[05:30] <nimbiotics> agaian, THANKS A BUNCH & ttyl!
[05:30] <holstein> nimbiotics: laterx
[13:34] <der_On> hello there
[13:43] <der_On> I'm having problems getting midi to work with my ubuntu studio
[13:44] <der_On> Using MuseScore Midi seems to work, but using rosegarden no midi track can be heared. I tried using timidity's interface to load and play back a midi file but nothing either
[13:45] <der_On> I have the soundfonts installed and tried using rosegarden and timidity with and without jack
[14:04] <der_On> well I got it working using qsynth now.
[14:35] <holstein> hey der_On
[14:35] <holstein> thats what im familiar with
[14:36] <holstein> loading soundfonts in qsynth
[14:37] <holstein> check out http://wootangent.net/category/music/tutorials/
[15:22] <der_On> holstein: do you know rosegarden well?
[15:23] <der_On> Ive just have another problem. I have a metronom running using qsynth now and trying to record multiple audio tracks, but somehow things get out of sync
[18:12] <holstein> der_On: i have minimal experience in rosegarden
[18:12] <holstein> BUT check out #opensourcemusicians
[18:12] <der_On> holstein: thx
