[00:27] <eichi> hello. someone has an good idea for a good working soundcard for ubuntustudio? the one I have at the moment makes ugly sounds
[00:34] <rlameiro> eichi: is it onboard?
[00:34] <rlameiro> your card that is
[00:35] <rlameiro> because, usually on board cards output a lot of noise, more if it is on a laptop
[00:35] <rlameiro> rule of thumb, is to use a external interface
[00:35] <rlameiro> either usb or firewire, depending on what you need
[00:36] <rlameiro> there are people using internal saund cards like the delta 1010 etc
[00:36] <rlameiro> USB interfaces are suported on linux if the comply with the usb specification
[00:37] <rlameiro> you can check for that if they run in windows or mac without installing drivers
[00:37] <rlameiro> usually that is stated on the box or on the specifications list
[00:50] <eichi> okay. at the moment its onboard, yes
[00:50] <eichi> but dont have windows or mac

[13:52] <danboid> ailo: Hi!
[13:52] <danboid> AutoStatic, Hi! Guess why I'm here? :)
[13:53] <AutoStatic> Hello danboid, yeah I saw your mail on LAU :)
[13:53] <AutoStatic> And iirc ailo was working on a similar tool
[13:53] <danboid> AutoStatic, Thats right! Whats this tool called? Has it got a webpage, git or whatever yet?
[13:54] <AutoStatic> Wasn't it a rewrite of ubuntustudio-controls?
[13:54] <AutoStatic> ailo posted some screenshots
[13:54] <AutoStatic> But ailo should know best, I'm only guessing here :)
[13:54] <danboid> Well I missed that
[13:56] <danboid> AutoStatic, OK, I can wait 'til he re-appears
[13:58] <AutoStatic> I think ScottL should know more about it
[13:58] <AutoStatic> too
[13:59] <danboid> ScottL, ?
[14:00] <danboid> US 11.04 has moved to XFCE right?
[14:00] <AutoStatic> Ah, found something
[14:00] <AutoStatic> https://gitorious.org/~ailo
[14:01] <danboid> AutoStatic, Is it the audio-system-check you're thinking of?
[14:02] <AutoStatic> Hmmmm, that only checks, no testing
[14:03] <AutoStatic> And USC only sets things up, no testing either
[14:03] <danboid> AutoStatic, Yeah, not quite what I'm after
[14:05] <AutoStatic> There's the realtimequickconfigscriptthingamajigshiznitz script ;)
[14:05] <AutoStatic> But that only checks too, no testing either
[14:06] <AutoStatic> And I picked up somewhere that FalkTX was working on integrating or turning that script into a GUI thingy
[14:08] <danboid> Yes, FalkTX would seem to be the dude most likely to come to the rescue here- I hope! :)
[14:48] <ailo> danboid, Yes, I believe falktx has done some work on integrating sound systems, like PA and jack for KXStudio. He's been working on a -controls type of application that controls jack and does a system check and a bunch of other things. I myself have only been working on setting up Ubuntu for realtime audio pretty much.
[14:49] <danboid> ailo, Hi!
[14:49] <danboid> ailo, Any idea what falk's app is called?
[14:51] <ailo> danboid, I think it's called Cadence
[14:51] <ailo> Just looking if I can find the git repo
[14:52] <ailo> danboid, git://repo.or.cz/cadence.git
[14:53] <ailo> danboid, It's a bunch of apps
[14:54] <ailo> danboid, The README explains a lot
[14:55] <ailo> It's under development..
[15:06] <danboid> ailo, Thanks! I've gotta shoot off for a short while now but I'll take a look later and see if its what I want
[15:54] <holstein> past meeting logs https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Meetings/2011June5
[18:44] <eichi> hello. I'm again searching for a soundcard, I can by for best ubunt studio support
[18:55] <orngjce223> I know nothing about hardware. You might try #kxstudio or #opensourcemusicians for a faster response
[20:08] <holstein> eichi: ?
[20:08] <holstein> RME is arguably the best quality, and well supported
[20:09] <eichi> holstein: okay. but got now a Creative Audigy 2 ZS
[20:10] <eichi> help was from my main-distribution IRC channel (archlinux) but should work with ubuntu same or better ;)
[20:34] <holstein> eichi: ?
[20:34] <holstein> depends on what you want
[20:34] <holstein> if you are interested in playback
[20:34] <holstein> just use what you got
[20:34] <holstein> anything creative is sub-par for recording
[20:37] <eichi> hm okay. hm, not good ;) but its 10€ now. better then onboard. then maybe i should buy a better one next weeks
[20:38] <eichi> but recording is "only" voice. no complex instruments of course
[20:43] <Krasslig> good day
[21:00] <holstein> streaming a session
[21:00] <holstein> http://holstein.shacknet.nu:8227/stream.ogg
[21:01] <holstein> Krasslig: hello
[21:01] <holstein> eichi: doesnt matter what you are recording, if you want it to sound good...
[21:01] <Krasslig> ubuntustudio hmmm
[21:02] <Krasslig> is this the best program for producing music on linux?
[21:02] <holstein> ubuntustudio is not a program
[21:02] <holstein> its a collection of apps
[21:02] <holstein> anyways, im going to be busy for a bit...
[21:02] <holstein> check us out http://holstein.shacknet.nu:8227/stream.ogg
[21:02] <holstein> :)
[21:04] <danboid> Was it someone in here who tipped me off about cadence earlier?
[21:20] <holstein> Krasslig: check out #opensourcemusicians when you get a chance
[21:20] <holstein> links to tutorials for using the software included in ubuntustudio and other goodies :)
