[02:40] <ronj_> hey ho
[02:41] <ronj_> long time... I'll do some testing on Sunday at Montreal's GlobalJam, are there specific areas to focus on for Studio?
[02:43] <Blank__> oh, 'elo ronj_... sorry i didn't reply to that email all those months ago
[02:43] <ronj_> I plan to do my usual JACK/FFADO/Ardour tests on my FA66, but haven't been checking the mailing list a lot, so if there is recent stuff to try or potential regressions to have a look at, feel free to tell me :)
[02:44] <ronj_> Blank__: no problem :)
[02:45] <Blank__> ronj_, things have been a bit crazy here and i've not had time to do any more mixes of your stuff, nor have i been able to cull together all the various mixes i've done in the past :(
[02:47] <ronj_> that's cool Blank__ , I'm already pleased to hear about what you did, and well, if you come back at it, drop me a line!
[02:48] <Blank__> ronj_, i certainly shall... I'm hoping to actually start recording people sometime this year, as i've got several people interested in it
[02:48] <ronj_> yay
[02:49] <Blank__> i haven't actually done any full recording+mixing sessions in ardour, and i'm eager to use ardour 3, so i'm looking forward to it
[02:50] <Blank__> this laptop, however, needs a reformat and a severe cleanup in the /home :P
[22:32] <dezine> Hi, I'm trying to get an Echo Audiofire4 working on my 10.10. I am pretty clueless at this point and would appreciate some help.
[22:33] <ailo> dezine, Have you had it working on other systems?
[22:34] <dezine> It was working on my windows system, yes.
[22:35] <ailo> dezine, I meant other LInux systems. Are you new to Linux in general?
[22:35] <dezine> Oh, I have not. No, but I'm definitely new to using an interface with it.
[22:36] <ailo> dezine, I see. Are you using qjackctl? Did you try using "firewire" as the driver. I would recommend other settings to remain at default
[22:37] <ailo> dezine, To make a quick check, run qjackctl as root. If it works, you'll just need to add realtime access for the user.
[22:37] <dezine> hm lemme see
[22:37] <ailo> dezine, You could try this too: sudo jackd -d firewire
[22:37] <ailo> In a terminal
[22:39] <dezine> So at this point I should be able to hear the mic?
[22:39] <ailo> dezine, Are you able to start jackd?
[22:40] <ailo> dezine, Can you do it as a normal user: jackd -d firewire ?
[22:41] <dezine> jackd -d firewir
[22:41] <dezine> oops
[22:41] <dezine> Cannot attach audio driver
[22:42] <dezine> http://paste.ubuntu.com/588414/
[22:43] <ailo> dezine, It looks like you don't have realtime privilege. Do: cat /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf
[22:44] <ailo> Should look like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/588415/
[22:44] <dezine> Yeah it's the same
[22:45] <ailo> dezine, The next step is to allow realtime operation with the firewire device.
[22:45] <ailo> http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/ffado.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/60-ffado.rules
[22:46] <ailo> Should go into /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ffado.rules
[22:46] <dezine> ok
[22:47] <ailo> You'll need to reboot
[22:48] <ailo> dezine, No special kernel? Did you use ubuntustudio-controls(not up to date and should not be used)?
[22:48] <dezine> hm I see 60-raw1394.rules
[22:49] <ailo> dezine, You can remove that. It's for the old firewire stack
[22:49] <dezine> I don't think there's anything special I installed ubuntu then installed the audio package
[22:50] <ailo> dezine, Ok. I don't have a firewire device myself mind you, so I can only help you so far. I think this should be enough to get you going. Let me know if it works.
[22:51] <dezine> Ok man thanks a lot.
[22:51] <dezine> I'll hop back on to let you know either way
