[10:06] <S2Do> Hi all! Is it possible to install LXDE as the default DE from installation, bypassing gnome?
[10:44] <damo22> anyone use 003 with protools here?
[12:42] <ailo_at> S2Do: Can't remember the options you have when choosing advanced mode when installing. You can always install it afterwards otherwise.
[17:24] <shanttu> Evening folks. I upgraded to ubuntu studio from maverick using the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu
[17:24] <shanttu> full upgrade
[17:25] <shanttu> I noticed that sound distorts. I tried using jack and basic alsa and the result is the same
[17:25] <shanttu> Have anyone else experienced this behaviour?
[18:33] <ailo_at> shanttu: What kind of audio device are you using?
[18:35] <shanttu> ailo_at I have a good old  Emagic Emi 2 6 usb sound card
[18:36] <shanttu> The distortion is so tiny that I notice it only when using headphones
[18:40] <ailo_at> shanttu: Sounds like it has something to do with the audio device. Samplerate?
[18:41] <shanttu> ailo_at i have tried both 44100 and 48000
[18:44] <ailo_at> shanttu: It always worked fine before?
[18:45] <shanttu> It did. I find it very strange.
[18:46] <ailo_at> shanttu: Reading about the device. Did you ever need to set it using modules.conf?
[18:47] <shanttu> ailo_at: only when trying to set as a default card
[18:48] <ailo_at> I never heard of distorted sound because of UbuntuStudio, so I would guess it is somehow related to the device. Usb is only partly supported as you may know, cause there aren't drivers for that many cards.
[18:49] <ailo_at> But it is interesting that there was a change after your upgrade
[18:49] <ailo_at> shanttu: Can you double check on another system?
[18:50] <shanttu> With the device? I can try it on my netbook
[19:05] <shanttu> ailo_at: I find the sound softer when using netbook.
[19:05] <shanttu> The difference is very very small, but it does exist
[19:08] <shanttu> 10.10 desktop edition on netbook
[19:23] <ailo_at> shantu: Are you using the device on Laptop usually?
[19:23] <ailo_at> Laptops will cause ground noise often, if you have the power cable plugged in
[19:35] <ClickClack> i think it is only a problem if the ground cable is connected ;-)
[20:07] <shanttu> Yes laptop only
[20:08] <shanttu> Different usb-ports tested.
[20:17] <ClickClack> di-box??
[20:21] <shanttu> nope, 6 rca out, 2 in and a separate headphone out
[20:21] <ailo_at> shanttu: Did you try without the powercable?
[20:41] <shanttu> I do not have the power cord to the card at all. Ran laptop on battery without difference
[20:47] <shanttu> This laptop has dual boot with xp. This problem does not exist when trying on xp. Mysterious
[20:48] <ailo_at> shanttu: http://xiphmont.livejournal.com/46858.html
[20:49] <ailo_at> Don't know if that's relevant
[20:53] <shanttu> Definitely worth checking out. I have seen that site before, but somehow in this situation did not remember about it
[20:54] <shanttu> I was on searching for distortion
[20:54] <shanttu> Thanks =)
[20:56] <shanttu> I really like the sound of this card. Because there are no drivers for windows since xp i guess these can be found for a ridicilous price.
[22:28] <Submarine> hi there
[22:29] <Submarine> what sequencers do you use?
[22:29] <Submarine> I tried Rosegarden, but it's a bit unwieldy at times.
[22:42] <Phatsta> this is way off-topic but I just gotta say it: I hate winsnooze sometimes
[22:45] <rlameiro> Phatsta: I already past over that :D
[22:45] <rlameiro> i quit using it :D
[23:00] <Phatsta> rlameiro: unfortunally this isn't any of my computers... I'm doing a domain controller upgrade for a customer... I've been waiting 4 hours for an adprep command to run through... sucks!
[23:00] <Phatsta> unfortunally because if it had been my computer I'd kick it out the window just to give the f**cker some irony ;)
[23:02] <holstein> Phatsta: qtractor is popular
[23:02] <holstein> maybe seq24
[23:03] <holstein> ask around in #opensourcemusicians
[23:10] <rlameiro> Phatsta: man, wish you luck and patience
[23:59] <Phatsta> holstein: qtractor?
