[04:31] <Lars_G> Good night studioers
[04:31] <Lars_G> I come for some specific help. I have a good set of studio packages installed into 11.04
[04:32] <Lars_G> ERROR: Remote VST startup failed: Failed to open FIFO
[04:32] <orngjce223_> Go on? (Although I'm a LTS person, so I don't have specifics.)
[04:32] <Lars_G> errr
[04:32] <Lars_G> but 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_G> that was what I meant
[04:32] <orngjce223_> Into what program?
[04:32] <Lars_G> when pasting I skipped the line I had typed. sorry
[04:32] <orngjce223_> hm
[04:33] <Lars_G> I'm just trying to start them with dssi-vst-server.exe
[04:33] <orngjce223_> Hm
[04:33] <Lars_G> dssi_list_plugin lists them btw, but I'm using ghostess as a host and it will imediately fail trying to load them
[04:34] <orngjce223_> Weird.
[04:34] <Lars_G> Nod
[04:34] <Lars_G> All mentions (none regarding ubuntu) of this I've seen are around gentoo and a baddly compiled dssi-vst
[04:34] <Lars_G> plus most mention a wine dump, when I run dssi-vst-server I get the error but no wine dump or error
[04:37] <Lars_G> I've wondered if dssi-vst supports native plugins btw. any ideas?
[04:38] <Lars_G> since there are not so many dssi synth plugins out there.
[04:38] <Lars_G> And I think LV2 ones are even rarer yet
[04:39] <orngjce223_> Huh. I dunno
[04:39] <Lars_G> Ok thanks for trying orngjce223_
[04:39] <orngjce223_> Thanks anyway. :/ Maybe you should run this by the devs
[04:39] <Lars_G> I'll idle as long as I can stay awake (not much) and wait for some help
[04:39] <Lars_G> nod
[04:39] <Lars_G> hmmm devs
[04:39] <orngjce223_> Mm
[04:39] <Lars_G> now that you mention, I'll check the logs to see if there's any mention
[04:39] <orngjce223_> Well, maybe they have a bug report place or something
[04:41] <holstein> Lars_G: let me refer you to #kxstudio
[04:42] <holstein> you 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 can
[04:42] <holstein> there are PPA's for ubuntustudio (lucid through current) from KXstudio
[04:42] <orngjce223_> Unfortunately I said "screw it" and just used LADSPA plugins.
[04:42] <holstein> yeah, i could personally care less about windows VST's
[04:42] <orngjce223_> I like going native, if you know what I mean. :v
[04:43] <holstein> but, 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 all
[04:45] <orngjce223_> Mind you I don't even use a good fraction of it because I don't do real time processing/recording, but eh

[16:40] <Adriannom> hi.  i had karmic and upgraded to maverick, now i don't have a rt kernel and it's missing from apt...  any idea why?
[16:44] <astraljava> Adriannom: Purely because -rt kernel patch isn't provided for all kernel versions.
[16:45] <astraljava> Adriannom: Nowadays abogani, our kernel expert, has been concentrating on -lowlatency variant.
[16:45] <Adriannom> astraljava, actually i've managed to find some stuff on google about it now.  i see.
[16:47] <Adriannom> astraljava, 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] <astraljava> Adriannom: Let me look around for a moment.
[16:48] <Adriannom> astraljava, i really appreciate that :)
[16:48] <astraljava> Adriannom: There's this: http://www.openstudio.info/linux/34-linux/59-install-low-latency-kernel-on-ubuntu-studio-1010-maverick
[16:49] <astraljava> Adriannom: But I haven't tried it. I didn't use Studio much during maverick's time.
[16:50] <Adriannom> astraljava, ok cool.  i'm not partial to maverick or anything.  maybe i should upgrade to natty?
[16:50] <astraljava> Adriannom: Sure, that's a possibility.
[16:51] <astraljava> Adriannom: I'm running natty now with the lowlatency kernel, no problems so far.
[16:55] <Adriannom> astraljava, if i do upgrade, how easy is it to install what i need?
[16:55] <Adriannom> astraljava, or is it included by default?
[16:56] <astraljava> Adriannom: 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] <Adriannom> awesome, i'll do that, thanks astraljava :)
[16:56] <astraljava> Adriannom: https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa
[16:57] <astraljava> There's a "Read about installing" link on the page.
[16:57] <astraljava> Very simple.
[16:59] <Adriannom> excellent.  hopefully this will work.  thanks again, later :)
[16:59] <astraljava> Good luck. :)
[17:01] <ParadoxGuitarist> Can anyone recommend a powerful synth that will work with Jack?
[17:11] <astraljava> ParadoxGuitarist: 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.
[17:13] <astraljava> From the list I recognize: ZynAddSubFX, csound and phasex.
[17:26] <ParadoxGuitarist> thanks astraljava
[21:34] <ParadoxGuitarist> I was asking about samples the other day and I came across this: http://sso.mattiaswestlund.net/ if anyone is interested.
[21:55] <astraljava> ParadoxGuitarist: That's seriously cool! Thanks for sharing!
[22:26] <ParadoxGuitarist> Np
[22:27] <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm looking into starting a sample project
[22:27] <ParadoxGuitarist> Anyone know what .gig files are?
[22:27] <ParadoxGuitarist> I know they're gigasamples but I'm more interested in how they work.
