Lars_GGood night studioers04:31
Lars_GI come for some specific help. I have a good set of studio packages installed into 11.0404:31
Lars_GERROR: Remote VST startup failed: Failed to open FIFO04:32
orngjce223_Go on? (Although I'm a LTS person, so I don't have specifics.)04:32
Lars_Gerrr04:32
Lars_Gbut I'm trying to use dssi-vst and all the vst plugins I try (for windows) when I try to load them with dssi-vst-server they all fail with:04:32
orngjce223_Where is that from?04:32
Lars_Gthat was what I meant04:32
orngjce223_Into what program?04:32
Lars_Gwhen pasting I skipped the line I had typed. sorry04:32
orngjce223_hm04:32
Lars_GI'm just trying to start them with dssi-vst-server.exe04:33
orngjce223_Hm04:33
Lars_Gdssi_list_plugin lists them btw, but I'm using ghostess as a host and it will imediately fail trying to load them04:33
orngjce223_Weird.04:34
Lars_GNod04:34
Lars_GAll mentions (none regarding ubuntu) of this I've seen are around gentoo and a baddly compiled dssi-vst04:34
Lars_Gplus most mention a wine dump, when I run dssi-vst-server I get the error but no wine dump or error04:34
Lars_GI've wondered if dssi-vst supports native plugins btw. any ideas?04:37
Lars_Gsince there are not so many dssi synth plugins out there.04:38
Lars_GAnd I think LV2 ones are even rarer yet04:38
orngjce223_Huh. I dunno04:39
Lars_GOk thanks for trying orngjce223_04:39
orngjce223_Thanks anyway. :/ Maybe you should run this by the devs04:39
Lars_GI'll idle as long as I can stay awake (not much) and wait for some help04:39
Lars_Gnod04:39
Lars_Ghmmm devs04:39
orngjce223_Mm04:39
Lars_Gnow that you mention, I'll check the logs to see if there's any mention04:39
orngjce223_Well, maybe they have a bug report place or something04:39
holsteinLars_G: let me refer you to #kxstudio04:41
holsteinyou might have to hang out there for a while, but those guys use windows VST, and falktx (the dev) make the use of them possible and easy whenever he can04:42
holsteinthere are PPA's for ubuntustudio (lucid through current) from KXstudio04:42
orngjce223_Unfortunately I said "screw it" and just used LADSPA plugins.04:42
holsteinyeah, i could personally care less about windows VST's04:42
orngjce223_I like going native, if you know what I mean. :v04:42
holsteinbut, i dont use any VST instruments*04:43
orngjce223_Yeah, the KXstudio PPAs are pretty good too for updates, I did say I was on 10.04 after all04:43
orngjce223_Mind you I don't even use a good fraction of it because I don't do real time processing/recording, but eh04:45

Adriannomhi.  i had karmic and upgraded to maverick, now i don't have a rt kernel and it's missing from apt...  any idea why?16:40
astraljavaAdriannom: Purely because -rt kernel patch isn't provided for all kernel versions.16:44
astraljavaAdriannom: Nowadays abogani, our kernel expert, has been concentrating on -lowlatency variant.16:45
Adriannomastraljava, actually i've managed to find some stuff on google about it now.  i see.16:45
Adriannomastraljava, ok i wasn't even aware of this till someone from #mixxx pointed out that my kernel isn't rt anymore.  i'm getting some serious problems in both ultramixer and mixxx.  i don't suppose you've got any advice on how to proceed if i wanted to get this working in a matter of hours?16:47
astraljavaAdriannom: Let me look around for a moment.16:47
Adriannomastraljava, i really appreciate that :)16:48
astraljavaAdriannom: There's this: http://www.openstudio.info/linux/34-linux/59-install-low-latency-kernel-on-ubuntu-studio-1010-maverick16:48
astraljavaAdriannom: But I haven't tried it. I didn't use Studio much during maverick's time.16:49
Adriannomastraljava, ok cool.  i'm not partial to maverick or anything.  maybe i should upgrade to natty?16:50
astraljavaAdriannom: Sure, that's a possibility.16:50
astraljavaAdriannom: I'm running natty now with the lowlatency kernel, no problems so far.16:51
Adriannomastraljava, if i do upgrade, how easy is it to install what i need?16:55
Adriannomastraljava, or is it included by default?16:55
astraljavaAdriannom: You will just have to add abogani's PPA, and then install the newly found kernel from the dpkg frontend of your choice.16:56
Adriannomawesome, i'll do that, thanks astraljava :)16:56
astraljavaAdriannom: https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa16:56
astraljavaThere's a "Read about installing" link on the page.16:57
astraljavaVery simple.16:57
Adriannomexcellent.  hopefully this will work.  thanks again, later :)16:59
astraljavaGood luck. :)16:59
ParadoxGuitaristCan anyone recommend a powerful synth that will work with Jack?17:01
astraljavaParadoxGuitarist: Haven't really used, so no direct recommendations. However, you could check the list: http://jackaudio.org/applications and specifically it's "Sound Generators" section, and check which ones are on our repositories for quick and easy access.17:11
astraljavaFrom the list I recognize: ZynAddSubFX, csound and phasex.17:13
ParadoxGuitaristthanks astraljava17:26
ParadoxGuitaristI was asking about samples the other day and I came across this: http://sso.mattiaswestlund.net/ if anyone is interested.21:34
astraljavaParadoxGuitarist: That's seriously cool! Thanks for sharing!21:55
ParadoxGuitaristNp22:26
ParadoxGuitaristI'm looking into starting a sample project22:27
ParadoxGuitaristAnyone know what .gig files are?22:27
ParadoxGuitaristI know they're gigasamples but I'm more interested in how they work.22:27
