| rebirth | i installed qtractor from the software ceneter, what's the best way to go about upgrading it to the latest version? i download it | 06:53 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | rebirth: good question | 07:01 |
| holstein | if your 'up to date' | 07:02 |
| holstein | the thats the latest version in the repos | 07:02 |
| holstein | you could add a PPA | 07:02 |
| holstein | like falktx 's PPA | 07:02 |
| holstein | from kxstudio | 07:02 |
| holstein | might have a newer version | 07:02 |
| holstein | other than that | 07:02 |
| holstein | you probably have to build whatever version you find on the site | 07:03 |
| holstein | unless there is a .deb on the site | 07:03 |
| rebirth | holstein: looks like the latest release is 4.7 but i'm running 4.5 | 07:03 |
| rebirth | can you explain what it means to add a ppa please? sorry still learning | 07:05 |
| holstein | sure | 07:05 |
| holstein | lets look at.. | 07:05 |
| holstein | w0w | 07:06 |
| holstein | launchpad is slow... | 07:06 |
| holstein | https://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid | 07:07 |
| holstein | IF your running lucid | 07:07 |
| holstein | you add this PPA | 07:07 |
| holstein | the packages listed there ^^ | 07:07 |
| holstein | will be available to you | 07:07 |
| holstein | from where ever | 07:07 |
| holstein | software center | 07:07 |
| holstein | synaptic | 07:07 |
| holstein | apt or whatever you do | 07:08 |
| holstein | IF there is a package that is not available | 07:08 |
| holstein | its availalbe now | 07:08 |
| holstein | IF there is a newer verion | 07:08 |
| holstein | of a package you already have | 07:08 |
| holstein | newer/different | 07:08 |
| holstein | then you can install that one now as well | 07:08 |
| holstein | im running lucid with falks PPA | 07:09 |
| holstein | so i have newer version of lots of packages | 07:09 |
| holstein | JACK2 | 07:09 |
| holstein | a newer ardour | 07:09 |
| holstein | you can use the PPA purge function of ubuntu tweak if bad things happen | 07:10 |
| rebirth | ok i added the source | 07:10 |
| holstein | http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 07:11 |
| rebirth | looks like a lot of stuff popped up in the update manager | 07:11 |
| holstein | yup | 07:11 |
| holstein | it'll probably want to do a partial upgrade | 07:11 |
| holstein | it = update manager | 07:11 |
| rebirth | yay it has the 4.7 qtractor | 07:12 |
| holstein | sweet :) | 07:12 |
| holstein | i was about to try and see what version was in there | 07:13 |
| rebirth | is this going to install a lot of new software? | 07:16 |
| holstein | yup | 07:20 |
| holstein | well | 07:20 |
| holstein | newer versions | 07:20 |
| holstein | it wont install anything you dont already have installed | 07:20 |
| holstein | except maybe a dependancy here and there | 07:21 |
| rebirth | but it will add new software to the software center correct? | 07:26 |
| holstein | should | 07:26 |
| holstein | i dont know much about the software center | 07:26 |
| holstein | but AFAIK it looks at the repos in your software cources | 07:27 |
| holstein | sources* | 07:27 |
| rebirth | yeah that's what i think | 07:27 |
| holstein | might not look as slick | 07:27 |
| holstein | or have all the info | 07:28 |
| rebirth | yeah now when i look in the software center for qtractor is has the latest version in there | 07:28 |
| holstein | alright... bedtime :) | 07:31 |
| rebirth | thanks for your help! | 07:41 |
| christopher_ | having blender problem here with mouse rotation | 17:05 |
| Neosano | any software like Kontakt for linux? | 19:46 |
| Neosano | I can't get it to work with wine | 19:46 |
| Neosano | just want to play goddamn piano :> | 19:46 |
| holstein | hey Neosano | 20:26 |
| Neosano | hey :) | 20:26 |
| holstein | your looking for a piano sound? | 20:26 |
| Neosano | yeah | 20:26 |
| holstein | there are a couple ways | 20:26 |
| Neosano | I have a lot of soundfonts | 20:26 |
| Neosano | large ones | 20:26 |
| holstein | yeah | 20:27 |
| Neosano | more than 1 gb | 20:27 |
| holstein | soundfonts are one way | 20:27 |
| Neosano | but they're in .gig or just a lot of files in one folder | 20:27 |
| Neosano | But which software can play them? :< | 20:27 |
| holstein | pianoteq is great | 20:27 |
| holstein | there is a demo version free | 20:27 |
| holstein | Neosano: OH | 20:27 |
| holstein | you can use qsynth | 20:27 |
| holstein | im going to refer you to #opensourcemusicians | 20:28 |
| holstein | there are some midi folk there | 20:28 |
| holstein | i dont do a lot of midi myself | 20:28 |
| holstein | i did get JACK + qsynth going | 20:28 |
| Neosano | qsynth... | 20:29 |
| Neosano | I simply don't understand qsynth | 20:29 |
| holstein | yeah | 20:29 |
| holstein | its strange | 20:29 |
| holstein | you have to load the sondfont in there | 20:29 |
| holstein | and connect in JACK | 20:29 |
| holstein | the MIDI in from your device | 20:29 |
| holstein | and the audio routing too | 20:29 |
| holstein | works great though | 20:29 |
| holstein | id have to have it in front of me to talk you through it | 20:30 |
| Neosano | hmm wait gonna try it myself | 20:30 |
| holstein | maybe something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdtWYsUSK8s | 20:30 |
| holstein | the UI's usually stay pretty similar from version to version | 20:31 |
| holstein | looks like zynaddsubfx is in that vid | 20:31 |
| holstein | and yoshimi is the new fork of that | 20:31 |
| Neosano | Im watching this video | 20:33 |
| Neosano | damn.. | 20:34 |
| Neosano | now I can't hear anything in youtube.. | 20:34 |
| holstein | OH you got JACK running? | 20:34 |
| holstein | yeah, theres a pulse to jack bridge around in a PPA for lucid | 20:34 |
| holstein | i think its in the repos for maverick though | 20:34 |
| holstein | i dont use it myself | 20:34 |
| holstein | i seem to always have another PC around if i need some pulse audio :) | 20:35 |
| Neosano | :| | 20:35 |
| Neosano | so when I press keys on my midi controller Qsynth flashes the green light | 20:36 |
| holstein | AH | 20:36 |
| holstein | thats good :) | 20:36 |
| Neosano | awesome, where's the sound? | 20:36 |
| holstein | probably just need to make the audio connections then | 20:36 |
| holstein | in JACK | 20:36 |
| holstein | under the audio tab | 20:36 |
| holstein | you should see the instance of the synth you created in qsynth | 20:36 |
| holstein | just make sure the out is routed to whatever your monitoring with | 20:37 |
| Neosano | errmm | 20:37 |
| holstein | probably the main outs on your sound card | 20:37 |
| Neosano | left side | 20:37 |
| Neosano | system(capture_1, capture_2) | 20:37 |
| holstein | yeah | 20:37 |
| holstein | should be something on the left side from qsynth | 20:37 |
| Neosano | right side - system(playback_1 etc. to 8) | 20:37 |
| Neosano | nothing else | 20:37 |
| Neosano | :| | 20:37 |
| holstein | and system plackback 1 and 2 are what you want on the right | 20:38 |
| Neosano | ahhh | 20:38 |
| Neosano | no | 20:38 |
| Neosano | I had to choose jack in qsynth | 20:38 |
| holstein | AH :) | 20:38 |
| holstein | that makes sense | 20:38 |
| holstein | i didnt know you could use qsynth without JACK | 20:38 |
| Neosano | o m g | 20:38 |
| Neosano | it works.. | 20:38 |
| Neosano | what if I try another sf... | 20:38 |
| holstein | i had several instances in qsynth | 20:39 |
| holstein | and routed | 20:39 |
| holstein | BUT there are other ways im sure | 20:39 |
| holstein | easier | 20:39 |
| Neosano | still it doesn't do the thing I need | 20:43 |
| Neosano | .sf2 files work nicely in LMMS | 20:44 |
| Neosano | and I haven't ever seen any large sf2 good piano | 20:44 |
| holstein | Neosano: see if you can catch [lsd] over in that channel | 20:44 |
| holstein | he's my go-to MIDI guy :) | 20:44 |
| Neosano | :O | 20:44 |
| Neosano | oh yeah | 20:45 |
