[03:34] <stephenthemartyr> hi can anybody help me figure out a bit about how to get a roland ua25ex working with jack and ardour?
you there dude?
[03:59] <holstein> wow
[03:59] <holstein> stephenthemartyr: good timing :)
[04:00] <stephenthemartyr> hey man so i ran the tests in a live cd
[04:00] <stephenthemartyr> no alarms
[04:00] <holstein> thats good
[04:01] <holstein> resonably low bad sector count? and all that?
[04:01] <holstein> the hardware is good?
[04:01] <stephenthemartyr> for some reason i c`ant get gnuguitarix nor tangostudio distros to download
[04:01] <stephenthemartyr> yea its good
[04:01] <holstein> cool
[04:01] <holstein> did you fsck it?
[04:01] <stephenthemartyr> i dont think so,should i
[04:02] <holstein> if it aint broke....
[04:02] <stephenthemartyr> haha
[04:03] <stephenthemartyr> im trying to get this ua-25 interface to work with jack but no luck so far
[04:03] <holstein> it should 'just work'
[04:04] <holstein> i suggest running JACK as root
[04:04] <stephenthemartyr> nope
[04:04] <holstein> sudo qjackctl
[04:04] <holstein> ^^ just for testing!
[04:04] <stephenthemartyr> sudo jack?
[04:04] <holstein> not all the time
[04:04] <stephenthemartyr> k
[04:04] <holstein> you want to open 'setup'
[04:05] <holstein> you want to click on *both* the drop down menus near 'interface'
[04:05] <holstein> you should see your device liste
[04:05] <holstein> d
[04:06] <stephenthemartyr> wait i see the interface dropdown but which other one?
[04:06] <holstein> there are 2 arrows there
[04:07] <holstein> one pointing down "V"
[04:07] <holstein> and one pointint right ">"
[04:07] <holstein> you'll probably just see the device there
[04:08] <holstein> i usually look in the terminal first with lspci and/or lsusb
[04:08] <holstein> then, aplay -l and arecord -l
[04:08] <holstein> i assume you have read http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-audio ?
[04:08] <stephenthemartyr> yes i have
[04:08] <stephenthemartyr> aha
[04:08] <holstein> thats likely out dated.. so you shouldnt need to do much of that, but you might learn something from it
[04:09] <holstein> also, i would set it to...
[04:10] <holstein> frames/period 512
[04:10] <holstein> sample rate 41000
[04:10] <holstein> periods/buffer 3
[04:10] <holstein> the rest should be fine, assuming you havent messed with it
[04:26] <stephenthemartyr> its not workin
[04:26] <holstein> yeah?
[04:27] <holstein> is it broken?
[14:25] <stephenthemartyr> hey <holstein>
[14:26] <holstein> stephenthemartyr: good morning :)
[14:26] <stephenthemartyr> morning
[14:26] <stephenthemartyr> how is it goin
[14:28] <holstein> not bad... got some time today before my gig, and im taking it easy
[14:32] <stephenthemartyr> cool dude
