| Technicus | Hello . . . I am attempting to configure a "Tascam US-122L USB Audio/MIDI Interface" to work with Jack. I am having minimal success, do any of you here have experience setting up this type of software/hardware configuration? | 02:11 |
|---|---|---|
| meganerdca | never played with that myself | 02:52 |
| holstein | Technicus: YO | 03:58 |
| holstein | you still there? | 03:58 |
| holstein | jackd -RP50 -dalsa -dusb_stream:1 -r44100 -p256 -n2 | 03:59 |
| holstein | ^ thats how you start JACK with the us-122l | 03:59 |
| Technicus | I'll try this . . . | 04:00 |
| holstein | Technicus: i have MUCH better luck and less xruns with a generic kernel | 04:00 |
| Technicus | Well . . . it looks like there are new problems, Jack won't even start a server with the default settings using the onboard hardware which was working just fine before I tried configuring it to work with the Tascam. | 04:03 |
| Technicus | The settings you just provided yeilded no success. | 04:04 |
| holstein | Technicus: yeah | 04:04 |
| holstein | it works for me | 04:04 |
| holstein | so, i would double check some things | 04:05 |
| Technicus | Thanks though . . . I have to keep looking into this further. | 04:05 |
| holstein | try starting JACK as root | 04:05 |
| holstein | gksudo qjackctl | 04:05 |
| holstein | ^using the internal card | 04:05 |
| holstein | i have the unit plugged in at boot | 04:05 |
| holstein | using a current 10.04 up to date -generic kernel | 04:06 |
| holstein | i use that line | 04:06 |
| holstein | jackd -RP50 -dalsa -dusb_stream:1 -r44100 -p256 -n2 | 04:06 |
| holstein | i mess with the -p256 setting | 04:06 |
| Technicus | Overall operation failed. | 04:06 |
| holstein | Technicus: you should be able to see the device in the alsa tab already | 04:07 |
| holstein | this is where i got the info | 04:08 |
| holstein | http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1073 | 04:08 |
| holstein | the other suggestions didnt work for me though | 04:08 |
| Technicus | What hardware are you using? | 04:09 |
| holstein | Technicus: that thing | 04:10 |
| holstein | the tascam us-122l | 04:10 |
| Technicus | How long have you been using it? | 04:10 |
| Monona | Hey all. | 04:10 |
| holstein | well, its been sitting around here for a while | 04:10 |
| holstein | Monona: o/ | 04:10 |
| holstein | Technicus: i got it from a friend | 04:10 |
| holstein | plugged it in | 04:10 |
| holstein | and it didnt 'just work' | 04:11 |
| Monona | Ahoy, holstein. | 04:11 |
| Technicus | Same story . . . | 04:11 |
| holstein | so, i put off tech-ing it out for a bit | 04:11 |
| holstein | i dug it out a couple weeks ago | 04:11 |
| * Technicus waves to Monona. | 04:11 | |
| holstein | and have been using it with my sooperlooper rig | 04:11 |
| Monona | And I wave back. | 04:12 |
| holstein | Technicus: i set it up | 04:12 |
| holstein | let JACK run for like 3 days | 04:12 |
| holstein | with a realtime kernel | 04:12 |
| holstein | and about 5 xruns happened | 04:12 |
| holstein | with the generic one | 04:12 |
| holstein | only like 2 in 3 days or more | 04:12 |
| Monona | So, I'm using pulse-jack, and rhythmbox will just drop out periodically. I can see from my system monitor panel that there's some process running in the background. I can't tell what it is from top, which is running in the terminal. | 04:12 |
| holstein | Monona: i use audacious | 04:13 |
| holstein | in JACK | 04:13 |
| holstein | or just pulse when im playing music | 04:13 |
| Monona | Never tried audacious. | 04:13 |
| holstein | [lsd] over in #opensourcemusicas was saying the same thing | 04:13 |
| holstein | Monona: let falk know if you see him | 04:13 |
| Technicus | I don't even listen to music . . . aside from streams via VLC. | 04:13 |
| Monona | I was using just regular pulse, but the sound would just stop. At least with pulse-jack it'll come back after 15 seconds or so. | 04:14 |
| holstein | Monona: yeah? | 04:14 |
| Monona | Technicus: That's something. Could never do that myself. | 04:14 |
| holstein | that makes me think its something with alsa | 04:14 |
| Monona | Hmm. How could I figure that out? I think it has to do with something running in the background, cuz I can see it taking up 50% of one of my processor. | 04:15 |
| holstein | eh | 04:15 |
| Monona | It's just kinda random. | 04:15 |
| holstein | its just playing some audio | 04:15 |
| holstein | shouldnt matter right? | 04:16 |
| holstein | its not like you're compiling something | 04:16 |
| Monona | I like it better when things just work or don't. | 04:16 |
| holstein | anyways, i would look at the alsa verion | 04:16 |
| holstein | and maybe the kernel you are using too | 04:16 |
| Monona | Alsa is 1.0.22, I think. Kernel is 2.6.33.29-realtime. | 04:19 |
| Monona | It's funny, I closed firefox and there haven't been any dropouts since. | 04:19 |
| Monona | What suggested alsa to you as the problem? | 04:20 |
| holstein | Monona: ive just read about alsa updates fixing such issues | 04:22 |
| Technicus | What kiind of music do you focus on holstein ? | 04:23 |
| Monona | Hm. As far as I know, it's updated. How do I make sure the music PPA (that's falk's right?) is updated? Or will that happen along with the other repositories with apt-get update? | 04:23 |
| holstein | Technicus: im a jazz musician mostly | 04:24 |
| holstein | but i play all kinds of styles really | 04:25 |
| holstein | and compose jazz and non-jazz | 04:25 |
| holstein | Monona: should just happen | 04:25 |
| Monona | That's the way I like it. | 04:25 |
| holstein | http://holstein.shacknet.nu:8227/stream.ogg | 04:25 |
| Monona | Technicus: What are you into? | 04:26 |
| Technicus | Dam! Audio is not avaliable for me to hear your music :( | 04:28 |
| Technicus | I should stay on task and get this configured. | 04:28 |
| Monona | holstein: Sounds great! That's real instrument, not synth, right? | 04:29 |
| Technicus | I need to take a breah though . . . | 04:29 |
| holstein | Monona: sounds like it right? | 04:30 |
| holstein | its pianoteq | 04:30 |
| holstein | the rhodes sound | 04:30 |
| holstein | i got a nice weighed controller recently too | 04:30 |
| holstein | :) | 04:30 |
| holstein | weighted* | 04:30 |
| Technicus | If you are able, will you please point me to some references you used to get thing going on your setup? | 04:31 |
| holstein | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1172535/pictures/studio/IMG_20110323_151328.jpg | 04:31 |
| holstein | Technicus: that tascam? | 04:31 |
| Technicus | Yes. | 04:31 |
| holstein | http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1073 | 04:32 |
| holstein | thats it | 04:32 |
| holstein | i use that JACK line | 04:32 |
| holstein | start JACK from command line | 04:32 |
| Technicus | It's drivn' me nuts! | 04:32 |
| holstein | THEN, i launch qjack | 04:32 |
| holstein | Technicus: i'll try it in 10.10 here in a bit | 04:32 |
| Technicus | What OS do you have it on? | 04:33 |
| Monona | holstein: Excellent. That's a really nice sound. I've the pianoteq stuff is good. I'm not much for actually playing keyboards, alas, so I haven't gotten much into that. | 04:34 |
| Monona | Is it sampled, or modeling? | 04:35 |
| holstein | Monona: sampled? | 04:35 |
| holstein | not sure actually... | 04:35 |
| holstein | its nice though | 04:35 |
| Technicus | That's an excellant pic. | 04:36 |
| Monona | As in, sampled middle C at a bunch of different velocities and attacks, or using models of the physical instrument to amek the sound. Just curious. Sure sounds nice. | 04:37 |
| holstein | i think its modeling then | 04:38 |
| Monona | Cool. I've been reading up a little on how that sort of software works. | 04:39 |
| Monona | Interesting stuff, but way over my head. | 04:39 |
| Monona | So far. | 04:39 |
