[01:47] sup holstein [02:02] toenail: hey :) [02:02] too bad about the rig [02:02] i just did a session with mine last night [02:02] worked great [02:03] yea im trying a couple things on the ubu site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation [02:03] toenail: you shouldnt have to anymore [02:04] well its doing something ha . my windows just changed for some reason [02:04] i had to do this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire [02:04] window theme [02:04] the lucid entry [02:05] oh its the same for mine ill try it [02:05] one line at a time? [02:05] right [02:06] echo 'KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="video", MODE="0664"' | [02:06] sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/50-raw1394.rules [02:06] however [02:06] sudo qjackctl always works [02:06] before that [02:06] for me [02:06] toenail: what happens? [02:07] how does it fail? [02:07] toenail: did you get that firmware update? [02:07] for the pod? [02:08] i remember doing one [02:08] i run jack then try anything (ardour rackarack) and the box runs like a 25mhz maching running xp , lets say in theory its possible but we know how it wuld run [02:09] id try another chipset [02:09] firewire chipset [02:09] i havent done a firewire update not that i known of [02:10] toenail: well, im all over the place with suggestions [02:10] i did a firmware update with the firepod [02:10] back when i was running windows [02:10] i dont remember what vesion though [02:10] well right now im running those commands in terminal and its just sitting there after i types the sudu tee....... [02:11] toenail: i would just copy and paste them from that wiki page [02:11] anyways [02:11] sounds like hardware to me [02:12] firewire or pod issue [02:12] wouldnt hurt to flash the firmware on the pod [02:12] am i supposed to run that whole thing as a command in terminal [02:12] i literally grab the whole thing [02:12] and paste it in to the terminal [02:13] well the pod worked great for a bit with windows til i tried getting software to crack my old zip file passwords then it messed up the pc [02:13] oh ok [02:13] its just adding that rules file [02:14] well, i havent taken the time to install maverick and confirm that it works [02:14] it= the pod [02:14] BUT i can assure you its rockn and rollin in lucid for me [02:14] i tracked a session last night [02:14] 6 tracks [02:15] over 2 hours [02:15] no xruns [02:15] no BS [02:15] nice well i put that command into terminal im gonna reboot and the if it doesnt work try further on the page [02:15] :) [02:29] well like normal its running fine now for the try with ardour [02:34] how do i assign certain tracks to inputs again [02:34] in adour [02:35] you can use the mixer [02:35] in ardour [02:35] i use JACK [02:35] the 'connect' button [02:36] oh i get it [02:38] now in jack it says in 1 in 2 that would be r & L correct [02:39] if thats what you use them as [02:39] you get to decide that [02:41] i usually use 1 as left [02:42] ok , well i just recorded one track doing thunderstruck by acdc just to try it out now track 2 [02:42] rythym [03:04] so far its a go [03:05] only thin in ardour is i cant hear both tracks playing back , maybe i setup in jack i forgot [03:05] yeah [03:05] just double check the routing [03:06] i dont think they play if they are armed [03:06] well i dont see the headphone jack in there [03:06] headphone output rather [03:07] oh [03:07] in JACK [03:07] yea [03:07] yeah, the headphone out just monitors whatever is going through the pod [03:07] just 1-8 and spdi out [03:07] which i assume is midi [03:08] when i route to 1 and 2 [03:08] thats just in the headphones [03:08] oh well in windows xp in order to play all tracks recorded you had to have the headphone jack pluged in [03:08] the headphones dont get there own JACK entry [03:09] toenail: yeah? [03:09] i used cubase with the pod [03:09] and what i found was the headphone jack just played whatever was being monitored [03:09] whatever was routed to the main outs in cubase [03:10] and i find the same under linux [03:10] i have a headphone distribution amp i use [03:10] oh im using a pa [03:11] soundcard out #2 and pod #6 [03:11] your not using JACK? [03:11] no i am but the soundcard and pd are hooked up to a pa system [03:12] OH [03:12] hhee [03:12] i thought pa was pulse audio [03:12] yeah, the pod dont care what your monitoring with [03:13] well the same thing is happening now . if i dont turn up the phones on the pod i cant hear what i recorded and as well the first track i recorded i dont hear [03:14] the phones? [03:14] or the mains? [03:14] theres one output that has no fader [03:14] 'monitor' i think [03:14] the main out is controlled by that main fader [03:14] well, knob ;) [03:14] not fader [03:14] im confused now ? [03:15] on the pod [03:15] you got 'main level' [03:16] and 'phones' [03:16] the head phones jack pluged in the PA is the only way i can hear what i recorded the mixer know has to be turned to playback (10) instead of inputs (0) (volume rating [03:16] OH [03:16] yeah dont do that [03:16] yea the main is on 5 [03:16] you want to send from one of the outputs [03:16] on the back [03:16] not the headphone out [03:16] to the PA [03:16] the PA is expecting a line level input [03:17] Pa as in real Pa i have no idea how to use pulse audio and dont have it running [03:17] that would be from the 'main out' or the 'cue out' [03:17] on the back [03:17] toenail: yeah, i understand now [03:17] on brb damn beer its more like a rental drink the piss [03:17] your running from the headphones out to a PA system [03:18] yea ill switch it when i get back [03:26] i have to get a longer wire i accidentally unpluged the pod the the system lagged up [03:27] i did what you said but stilll the same problem [03:28] SO, you took 2 lines [03:28] from the main outs? [03:28] and ran those to the PA ? [03:29] track 8 was recorded 1st then track track 2 and if i move the mixer knob to inputs i can hear track 2 but not track 8 , i can though hear track 8 if i move the knob to playback [03:30] yea i ran main 1 out to the pa [03:31] main cr output [03:31] thats not right [03:31] playback is just that [03:31] playback [03:32] you shouldnt hear anything from the computer over on inputs [03:32] thats not a software setting [03:32] thats in the device [03:32] hardware [03:32] ok i disconnected and im gonna try a different output [03:33] i turn that knob to 'inputs' [03:33] when im setting up [03:33] getting sounds and moving mics around [03:33] i have it all the way over to 'playback' [03:33] when mixing [03:34] yea i did the same when i worked with it in windows but now track 2 doesnt play on playback [03:34] unless i have it on the wrong output i dont know [03:34] cause i did the same setup with Xp and it worked [03:35] OK [03:35] im not sure i follow [03:35] your playing 'track 2' [03:35] and that is routed to both outputs [03:35] in JACK [03:35] 1 and 2? [03:35] coud be a stereo issue [03:36] if you have track 2 routed to only one side [03:36] make sure both of track 2's outs are routed [03:36] one to 1 and the other to 2 [03:36] then grab some headphones [03:36] and make sure its there [03:37] THEN move on to the PA monitoring [03:41] ? [03:41] no idea what im doing [03:41] hehe [03:41] i think ill just reinstall windows every 3 months [03:42] i got it running stable now but now another issue then the next and then the next [03:42] just route whatever you want to monitor into the outputs 1 and 2 [03:42] plug your guitar back in to track 8 [03:42] and route that to both outputs [03:42] put on the phones [03:42] check the signal [03:42] thats what will come out of the main outs [03:42] regardless of the OS [03:45] well with windows its just plug all 8 things in and go apparently its not that with ubuntu studio [03:45] i dont know maybe im just getting to fustrated [03:46] hey, took me a while [03:46] there is nothing like JACK though [03:46] i mean, i think there is a windows version [03:46] BUT all the linux software just talks to JACK [03:46] too easy [03:46] as you can see its taken me a while to and im on step 2 [03:47] lol [03:47] i spent more like 2 years dual booting ;) [03:47] with a WUBI install [03:47] trying to get the firepod to work at all [03:48] trying linux in my spare time [03:48] i had it on a laptop already [03:48] that i was using for day to day stuff [03:48] to get used to it [03:48] yea thats the thing i like linux because its more stable but but have much freetime todo all this stuff just to get one device working [03:49] you got it working now :) [03:49] no drivers to install [03:49] yea i think im just a retard with add [03:49] ha [03:49] hehe [03:49] nah [03:49] its challening for sure [03:50] i remember when i wiped the studio machine [03:50] i was running 64studio then [03:50] felt great [03:50] like i had bought a bunch of new stuff [03:50] XP and cubase worked fine though [03:51] i just wanted more functionality and options [03:51] and the perfomance was better i thought [03:51] with JACK [03:51] yea im a big ediot though for running ubuntu 6.10 then going back into windows instead of just running ubuntu and figuring it out [03:52] 6.10 was quite different [03:52] old school :) [03:52] yea that was about 5 years ago [03:52] thats the last time i ran it [03:53] i know i got something wrong though for the jack setup i got a screenshot [03:55] im sending it to you now [03:56] toenail: i'll try to get screenies of my setup for you next time im in the studio [03:57] ok take a look at mine im sure you'll find something wrong thogh [03:57] though* [03:57] sure [03:58] yeah, i can remember most of it [03:59] ok im trying to send the file ; don't know if you see it [03:59] OK [03:59] OH [03:59] yeah, you might have to pastebin it [03:59] http://imagebin.org/ [03:59] if you dont mind [03:59] im running on a server [04:00] and i turned off DCC's [04:02] no problem its a trojan anyways ha no here ya you go http://imagebin.org/123730 [04:03] hehe [04:03] toenail: what is that hp icon? [04:04] its for the printer its the only way i got it working hp printer [04:04] cool [04:05] i dont know what that 000a9 so on is all about [04:05] audio 3 was input 8 (hense me calling its track 8) and audio 3 was track 2 really input 2 on the pod [04:05] i dont have that [04:06] hmm i also wondered if our looking input 1 & 2 are the same which it should be cause if i plug all 8 in then i'd assume that the track would be f--ed up [04:07] i'll have to get some screens for you [04:07] i think 00a9 is just the hardware address [04:07] yeah [04:07] but i dont have them [04:07] weird [04:07] toenail: is that an FP10? [04:07] or an older firepod? [04:08] miht be older i think [04:08] night* [04:08] suppose to be the same ive heard [04:08] Might* [04:08] yeah, thats what i got [04:08] you might want to check [04:08] next time your in windows [04:08] and flash the firmware [04:08] its got the 8 inputs in front then the midi in back [04:08] i dont have windows installed anmore [04:08] anymore* [04:08] toenail: says 'firepod' on it? [04:09] yea [04:09] yeah, thats it [04:09] the new ones say FP10 [04:09] oh ok [04:09] there was a really good firmware update [04:09] added some functionality [04:09] in ubu studio [04:09] ? [04:10] the OS on the pod [04:10] the firmware [04:11] oh i have no idea on how to update it , yet my router is different story [04:11] more beer exiting the system be right back [04:13] back [04:14] i got distracted by http://www.presonus.com/news/press/Detail.aspx?NewsID=76 [04:14] trying to find the firmware updater [04:14] i was going to see if it would run in wine [04:17] ah so by a new one for the same price and send back the old one for a refund of 200 [04:18] old ad though [04:18] yea [04:18] and i dont think FFADO supports that one [04:19] but basically spend 1000 and get a new one 200 refund [04:19] yea probly not [04:21] also as far as wine i don't have it installed [04:23] you ever use Goldwave for windows its a real simple program but i've been using it for 10 years and its nice i ran it once with wine bu 6.10 and it didnt work but do you think theres a program like it now or you think it would work with this studio ubuntu version [04:23] also good new no crashing yet on the system jacks been running the whole time thanks again [04:24] is it like soundforge? [04:24] like audacity? [04:24] better then audiocity [04:24] http://www.goldwave.com/ [04:25] there are a ton of editors [04:25] http://www.renoise.com/ is a commercial one [04:25] looks interesting [04:25] i checked out the demo [04:25] nevermind i found some stuff with wine and it [04:26] yeah, wineHQ or whatever [04:26] alright...
