| thebishop | holstein, then my next step is to completely redesign ffado-mixer for the saffire pro series | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| thebishop | kampschlaefer on #ffado designed it with surround sound mixing in mind, but i'd really prefer a straight-up clone of the official mixer app | 00:02 |
| holstein | thebishop: nice :) | 00:02 |
| thebishop | holstein, i don't know if you're familiar with this interface, but it's got a whole insane routing system beyond what jack does | 00:03 |
| holstein | check out #opensourcemusicians | 00:03 |
| thebishop | which is totally awesome, but a pain in the ass to configure | 00:03 |
| holstein | thebishop: im looking at the other one | 00:03 |
| holstein | the 8 channel one | 00:03 |
| holstein | PRO 40 i think? | 00:03 |
| thebishop | oh yeah | 00:03 |
| thebishop | that's the bigger one | 00:03 |
| thebishop | same Dice chipset though | 00:03 |
| holstein | the firepod has knobs | 00:03 |
| thebishop | holstein, you having trouble finding a new laptop with firewire? | 00:04 |
| holstein | i was | 00:04 |
| thebishop | i really wanted an HP envy, but no firewire and no expresscard | 00:04 |
| holstein | i found a nice firewire express card | 00:04 |
| holstein | TI chip | 00:05 |
| holstein | i got an older HP mininote | 00:05 |
| holstein | netbook | 00:05 |
| holstein | with expresscard slot | 00:05 |
| thebishop | woah, and you get decent latency on that? | 00:05 |
| holstein | sure | 00:05 |
| thebishop | with ardour running and all? | 00:05 |
| thebishop | pretty impressive | 00:05 |
| holstein | i can record 8 tracks at once | 00:05 |
| holstein | at around 5ms | 00:05 |
| holstein | ive tested for an hour | 00:06 |
| holstein | no xruns | 00:06 |
| holstein | not that i need lowlatency for that | 00:06 |
| holstein | id probably set it to 20 for that | 00:06 |
| holstein | but i like to push it for testing | 00:06 |
| thebishop | ugh this repo is slow | 00:08 |
| thebishop | 50k | 00:08 |
| thebishop | 50K | 00:08 |
| tanders12 | holstein: ping | 01:22 |
| holstein | tanders12: YO | 01:23 |
| tanders12 | hey man | 01:25 |
| tanders12 | natty's not workinn for me worth beans | 01:25 |
| holstein | in what way? | 01:26 |
| tanders12 | very unstabl | 01:27 |
| tanders12 | crashes, etc | 01:27 |
| holstein | uname -a | 01:27 |
| tanders12 | i tried the alpha and daily | 01:27 |
| holstein | OH | 01:27 |
| holstein | in general | 01:27 |
| holstein | i see | 01:27 |
| holstein | not JACK or whatever | 01:27 |
| holstein | yeay, i dont update without hanging in #ubuntu+1 for a while ;) | 01:28 |
| tanders12 | lol | 01:28 |
| tanders12 | didnt even get close to that point | 01:28 |
| tanders12 | imma try updating the alpha and see if i get anywhere | 01:30 |
| holstein | i think i got the last alpha release | 01:31 |
| holstein | probably 5 weeks ago | 01:31 |
| holstein | and updated twice | 01:31 |
| holstein | cautiously | 01:31 |
| tanders12 | did it tell you "cannot install all updates" | 01:31 |
| holstein | someting | 01:32 |
| holstein | i forget | 01:32 |
| holstein | might have done dist-upgrade | 01:32 |
| tanders12 | oh | 01:34 |
| tanders12 | from maverick? | 01:34 |
| holstein | tanders12: nah | 01:34 |
| holstein | just to get past an error | 01:34 |
| holstein | apt error | 01:35 |
| holstein | theres a reason why | 01:35 |
| holstein | and i forget that too | 01:35 |
| tanders12 | hm | 01:35 |
| tanders12 | offtopic how do you access the irc log? | 01:35 |
| holstein | depends | 01:35 |
| holstein | on your client | 01:35 |
| holstein | BUT | 01:35 |
| holstein | this channel is logged | 01:36 |
| holstein | let me see if i can dig it up | 01:36 |
| holstein | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/01/15/%23ubuntustudio.html | 01:38 |
| holstein | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | 01:38 |
| holstein | from there ^^ | 01:38 |
| tanders12 | niec thx | 01:38 |
| tanders12 | i like how thebishop talked about redesigning ffado mixer for the saffire. i thought of doing the same thing for the audiofire | 01:39 |
| holstein | i havent seen the ffado mixer | 01:52 |
| holstein | i cant believe its not more modular or something | 01:52 |
| holstein | more customizable | 01:52 |
| holstein | easily* customizable | 01:52 |
| tanders12 | yah | 02:03 |
| tanders12 | haven't seen it? what do you use? | 02:03 |
| holstein | tanders12: the firepod just has knobs on it | 02:08 |
| tanders12 | oo | 02:09 |
| tanders12 | k | 02:09 |
| * Blank__ heard "firepod" | 03:11 | |
| holstein | Blank__: firepod | 03:12 |
| Blank__ | haha | 03:12 |
| Blank__ | elo holstein | 03:12 |
| * holstein high-fives Blank__ | 03:12 | |
| holstein | firepod buddies we are :) | 03:12 |
| * Blank__ high fives back | 03:12 | |
| Blank__ | heck yes | 03:12 |
| holstein | Blank__: HAY | 03:12 |
| holstein | HEY* | 03:12 |
| Blank__ | i'm probably going to be doing an album with it soon | 03:12 |
| holstein | when you get around to natty tesing | 03:12 |
| Blank__ | and my trusty KXStudio | 03:12 |
| holstein | IF you get around to natty testing* | 03:12 |
| holstein | let me know | 03:12 |
| holstein | im confirming some setup scenarios | 03:12 |
| Blank__ | i haven't touched natty yet... i'm wondering if it needs a bit of time to settle | 03:13 |
| holstein | sure | 03:13 |
| holstein | but, if you set it up for some reason | 03:13 |
| holstein | ping e | 03:13 |
| Blank__ | will do :p | 03:13 |
| holstein | me* | 03:13 |
| Blank__ | i really need to work on my midi and synth skills, the girl who wants to record wants to do an electro-techno style album | 03:14 |
| holstein | sounds fun | 03:14 |
| holstein | [lsd] is my go-to midi guy | 03:14 |
| Blank__ | should be, i'll be taking my laptop and craploads of gear up to her place for it | 03:14 |
| Blank__ | same | 03:14 |
| Blank__ | she'll be the first vocalist to give my DIY valve EQ a go, too | 03:15 |
| holstein | bb... lemme reboot... | 03:15 |
| Blank__ | k | 03:15 |
| holstein | ok | 03:19 |
| holstein | Blank__: you made an EQ ? | 03:19 |
| Blank__ | holstein, correct | 03:28 |
| holstein | w0w | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | a pultec eqp-1a clone | 03:29 |
| holstein | Blank__: you should link that up | 03:29 |
| holstein | some pics | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | cost around $450 for it but it sounds very nice | 03:29 |
| holstein | and samples after the session | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | it's a passive eq with valve preamp | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | making it myself for that cost is nothing compared to buying the real deal for 10 times that | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | i'm thinking of making a few more things soon, like a urei 1176 clone | 03:30 |
| holstein | i am so interested in that kind of thing | 03:30 |
| Blank__ | unfortunately the cost of rackmount cases and transformers are what drive up the cost, otherwise they'd be around $200-300 | 03:31 |
| Blank__ | holstein, most DIY projects have a list of components... this one didn't, and i had to read the circuit boards and schematics to make the list | 03:32 |
| holstein | WAY over my head | 03:32 |
| Blank__ | it's a lot easier with the other kits :P | 03:37 |
| Blank__ | want to hear a song i passed through it? | 03:37 |
| Blank__ | i have to downsample it and stuff but it'll be ready soon | 03:38 |
| holstein | sure | 03:38 |
| === peregrinator_six is now known as Monarquista | ||
| Blank__ | holstein, sorry for the delay but i did a partial dist upgrade and broke vlc again | 04:11 |
| holstein | :/ | 04:11 |
| Blank__ | vlc-110 has never worked properly for me | 04:11 |
| holstein | yeah | 04:12 |
| Blank__ | this new 1.1.5 doesnt work either | 04:12 |
| holstein | i ve been having trouble with it too | 04:12 |
| Blank__ | good to know i'm not the only one | 04:12 |
| Blank__ | 1.0.6 is the newest that will work for me | 04:13 |
| Blank__ | time to purge vlc | 04:15 |
| holstein | yeah, i hate it | 04:15 |
| holstein | vlc has been one of my favs | 04:15 |
| holstein | since windows | 04:15 |
| holstein | years ive been loving it | 04:15 |
| Blank__ | i'm purging all the data and reinstalling 1.0.6 >.< | 04:16 |
| Blank__ | holstein, http://blankw.okapi.feralhosting.com/g-pultec/the%20girl%20is%20mine%20mono%20gpultec.ogg | 04:18 |
| Blank__ | apologies for all those spaces | 04:18 |
| holstein | Blank__: you just put it on the whole track? | 04:18 |
| Blank__ | yeah | 04:19 |
| Blank__ | that's probably a breach of copyright :x | 04:19 |
| holstein | hehe | 04:19 |
| holstein | i cant wait to hear some of that on just a vocal track or something | 04:20 |
| holstein | i cant really tell from that | 04:20 |
| holstein | but i want to say it sounds warmer | 04:20 |
| Blank__ | yeah, it's hard to tell on a song like that | 04:20 |
| Blank__ | i've got to go and take care of the cat's poo and have some lunch (preferably not in that order), be back later | 04:22 |
| holstein | Blank__: laterx | 04:23 |
