[03:17] finally mi first screenshot with my new mac [03:17] http://i.imgur.com/ix1c4.jpg [03:17] =) [03:39] Hi people. Question, and apologies if this data is more readily available some other more obvious place: how do you think I'll do tracking very simple audio projects in Ubustu on a netbook, 1g ram? [03:39] gglitch: i do it [03:39] i have a 1.2 via chip with a gig of ram [03:39] and a nice firewire express card with TI chip [03:39] Thanks. That's what I have, I think. Dell mini. [03:39] i can get around 5ms actually [03:39] I'll be using an e-mu 0404 [03:40] usb [03:40] no xruns [03:40] but i usually dont push it that hard [03:40] excellent. That's encouraging. [03:40] gglitch: if you can play around with jack settings a bit [03:40] you'll be fine [03:40] gglitch: check out #opensourcemusicians if you get a chance :) [03:41] ok! thanks for the tip - I'll head on over. I've seen kxstudio mentioned in other threads - are you familiar with it? [03:41] gglitch: i use the KXsudio ppa's with lucid [03:41] studio* [03:41] falktx is an active contributor to our community :) [03:42] *falktx is the KX dev [03:42] Since I'm going with a fresh install, would it be more expedient to just install kx? And thanks. [03:42] gglitch: the KX disc is live [03:43] so if you have the time, bandwidth and a disc [03:43] try it [03:43] its KDE, which i cant do [03:43] but the project is great, and built on ubuntu [03:43] Good advice. I've heard great things about the distro. [03:45] Lot of people in #osm. Thanks for the tip. Just getting back in the saddle, and going linux all the way this time. [03:47] gglitch: come on in, the water is great :) === virtu is now known as virtu_AFK [07:54] anyone here have an RME 9652? [07:59] Hey meganerd. [08:00] meganerd, I believe some people at Planet CCRMA might be using that [08:01] Or, the model before that [08:03] it has been solid for years, I am just having 24/96 issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Frustrating. It also ate all my free time this week. [08:03] so no testing [08:03] meganerd, Could it be something Linux specific, or cables? [08:05] meganerd, So, you never had 24/96 issues before on Linux? [08:06] I just realized my hardware was better than I thought. I have been using this rig in 16/48 since I bought the card [08:07] I knew I could get 4 channels, but upon reading the manual it looks like I can get 8 [08:07] meganerd, Not more? Isn't it ADAT? [08:08] I don't believe it is cables, just 4 optical cables, the HDSP conf says that both halves are locked (each ADAT channel can only carry 4 24/96) [08:09] meganerd, Well, I seem to remember that the Fernando at Planet CCRMA has been using Hammerfall for years, so he might know some things about it [08:09] I never did really grok the HDSP mixer app, and this is where I think the problem is. I just have no idea how it really works [08:09] meganerd, Have you ventured to #alsa ? [08:09] back at 16/48 for now. Not a really big deal, but when it works I get killer latency [08:10] no actually, you are going to laugh, but it only occured to me tonight to check in on IRC [08:10] Yeah, I got 0.333ms from 16 frames/period, 96/24 but not very stable [08:10] 32 frames/period is the lowest I can go [08:11] Don't really need that even [08:12] meganerd, alsa would feel the logical place to ask, but it's not easy to get help I find. You could try Planet CCRMA's mail list [08:12] for latency this card is awesome. I usually work at 64 frames from ~2 ms latency. no drops, even with disk IO (doing things like installing, compiling, and web browsing) [08:12] well, the mixer and control app are from ALSA, so that would make sense. [08:13] meganerd, Fernando, the guy running Planet CCRMA might have first hand knowledge [08:13] He usually answers the mail list [08:13] I will check in there later [08:13] I have some 11.04 testing to do first :) [08:14] I am really looking forward to seeing what the new computer can do [08:14] meganerd, New? What arch? [08:15] ailo: Intel Sandy Bridge [08:15] I need to do some actual latency testing. Plugging output to input. Would be nice to find out how accurate the ms value is on jackd [08:17] meganerd, i7? [08:17] I did a bunch of midi testing a year ago. There was a guy making a ton of noise on the 64Studio mailing list. Not very surprising but USB has an order of magnitude more jitter [08:17] ailo: i5 [08:17] meganerd, You mean usb midi is no godd? [08:17] ailo: I could not really justify the i7, given that my main desktop is a Lynnefield i7. [08:18] ailo: USB midi works, you just need to manage your expectations. [08:18] meganerd, Luckily, I mostly use it for control, not so much for accurate sequencing [08:18] ailo: USB was never designed for low latency stuff. It is a HUB so contention with other peripherals can happen [08:19] meganerd, I still have a couple of old pci cards that have game port midi [08:20] ailo: for HID work the latency is not noticble. Maybe an accomplished piano player might notice, but doing a bind test with a couple of keyboardists I know they could not tell the difference. [08:20] ailo: people often forget that our nervous system has latency issues :) [08:20] meganerd, Do you remember what ms was the highest? [08:21] IIRC, the USB midi was in the 7-15 ms range. It was not as solid as the hardware midi on the 9652 [08:22] meganerd, 15ms is noticable, I would say. But probably very hard to detect when playing. [08:22] If it only happens now and then [08:22] ailo: that is my opinion as well [09:34] Is it possible to get Ubuntu Studio from Ubuntu 10.10? I cannot get the installation working for some reason === virtu is now known as virtu_Piano === orngjce223 is now known as Guest19425 === virtu_Piano is now known as virtu [18:40] Hello holstein et al [19:31] gglitch: o/ [23:52] Hello everybody, hoy are u today? [23:58] * holstein is good [23:58] josdem: and you? [23:59] I'm fine thank you, I'm looking for a good music player on ubuntu [23:59] i use vlc
