=== holstein_ is now known as holstein [04:09] Hey guys so I am putting together some music for a small wedding for a family member, and i was thinking that instead of having people write down requests or flip threw papers of what music i have i will display on a monitor the play list. Does that sound good? I also am thinking Of having it so people can request songs from that monitor. any ideas on a good way to approach this? [04:42] Hello. [04:42] Anyone know of any audio glitches in the current release of Ubuntu Studio? [04:43] I'm getting strange intermittent pops which are very disruptive :( [04:59] therealdgood: hello [04:59] are you using JACK? [04:59] feel free to elaborate [05:00] is this a new issue? [05:00] is it all the time? [05:00] what interface? [05:00] if you are using JACK, what are your setting? [05:00] settings* [06:23] I'm sorry, but I was away for awhile. [06:24] I'll have to dig into this further and get back with you. [06:24] Thanks. [16:16] Hey Scott! I really enjoyed your appearence on Linux Outlaws recently :) [16:33] Hi. What are the default font settings in Ubuntu Studio 11.04? [16:41] I think it's DejaVu Sans Book. [16:42] ok [16:42] Computer's not with me so I can't check, but I remember it's Book something. [16:42] did that font change last night? [16:42] because now I'm noticing japanese characters (I deal with game titles for a wiki) look different [16:42] I didn't update last night, so I can't say. [16:43] and I still have the broken half-ubuntu half-ubuntu studio from a month ago :D [16:43] On that note, isn't 11.04 going to switch to xfce? Is that in the beta disc at the moment? [16:43] *11.10 [16:43] Yes, I think that's right. [16:44] Scott said on Linux Outlaws that Gnome3 wasn't right for Ubuntu Studio users. [16:45] And since "classic" gnome is going away, Xfce looks like the right choice. [16:45] I'm just a user though, I don't really know. [16:48] ok [16:48] bah I'll just watch the font fix itself when I actually do move [16:49] thanks anyway [16:53] I've just been given an HP laptop which I've installed Ubuntu Studio onto and it has strange audo performance. There are audible pops that occur when I open windows and launch applications. [16:54] When I installed it, I didn't select any of the "use case" checkboxes, so I had to install the ubuntustudio-audio package after first boot. [16:54] Do you think that would cause any problems? [16:55] At this point, I don't know how to begin troubleshooting the laptop hardware versus the ubuntu software. [16:55] Any ideas would be appreciated. [18:03] dgood`: hello [18:04] dgood`: are you running JACK? [18:05] if you are just playing audio, you dont need to wait in here [18:05] you could try more busy channels for general ubuntu support [18:06] dgood`: feel free to hang here though [19:37] Hello holstein. [19:37] I don't know if I'm running JACK right now or not. [19:37] This is the basic install plus the ubuntustudio-audio package. [19:39] With pulseaudio, OSS, ALSA, and now JACK, I admit that I'm a little confused about what is going on with audio in linux right now. [19:44] I'll check if jackd is running tonight when I get back to the laptop. [19:45] I'm actually trying to find a good setup to DJ with and was hoping Mixxx on Ubuntu Studio would be a winner. [19:46] If anyone is a DJ and wouldn't mind having a discussion about organization of the craft, I'm in for that as well. [20:50] Is there usually much discussion in this channel? [21:15] dgood`: you are not running JACK then [21:15] JACK is not something that just runs [21:15] you would need to get it running [21:15] I have to start it manually? [21:15] then, it allows for a click and pop free way to create audio [21:15] ubuntustudio is really not aimed at media comsumption [21:16] well.. not any more or less than ubuntu is [21:16] dgood`: if you dont need JACK, you dont need it [21:16] Right, but it is aimed at DJs right? [21:16] dgood`: depends [21:16] I'm looking to DJ with Mixxx [21:16] i would suggest looking at idcj [21:16] internet DJ console [21:17] I'm a wedding DJ, not an internet DJ. [21:17] dgood`: i wouldnt lose sleep over some clicks and pops here and there when playing things in the browser [21:17] dgood`: sure... i would still look at idjc [21:17] This is live audio. [21:17] right [21:17] that is for that as well [21:18] Ok, I'll give it a look. [21:18] dgood`: look at what you want [21:18] idjc would be a nice fit though i think [21:18] dgood`: this channel is typically pretty quiet [21:18] i usually suggest folk try #opensourcemusicians [21:18] Which is partly the reason why. :D [21:18] Ha! [21:20] But it's the truth. We lack an active userbase. We're ever-grateful for holstein to actually stand in as a guard here! [21:20] So don't get me wrong. [21:22] :) [21:22] So who is the target audience for Ubuntu Studio? [21:22] yeah, im hear when i can be for sure [21:22] dgood`: we are working on defining that [21:23] DJ's are in there somewhere for sure [21:26] An interesting link for sure: Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections [21:26] IDJC [21:28] Internet DJ console looks pretty cool. I'll give it a try for sure. [21:29] Thanks for the tip. [21:39] dgood`: Yeah, like holstein already revealed, US is going through a makeshift at the moment. Oneiric will already be quite a change, but our real target is 12.04, as it's an LTS. [21:39] oneiric can be considered as a practice target, with the actual aim in the next one. [21:41] can i have some suggestions for a good VST host please? [21:46] Zburatorul: Absolutely. [21:48] lol [21:49] Mathematician's answer? :V [21:49] Stupid question: What is causing the emphesized lines with my name sometimes when people reply to my questions? [21:52] like this dgood` ? [21:52] You have "mentions" turned on in your client, whatever it is. [21:53] You can turn it off if you like; most of us find it useful. [21:54] Yeah, that was it. There seemed to be such consistency with the Name: format of some replies I got that I started to wonder if there was a / command doing that. [21:54] Oh dear gawd. [21:54] No, most clients just happen to have tab completion for "Name:" [21:54] I read that as "can I _give_ some suggestions..." [21:54] Heheh [21:54] * astraljava hangs head in shame [21:54] Oh dear. :P [21:56] orngjce223: You're right. Mine does as well. [21:56] emacs rcirc mode [22:29] is the mathematician's answer all i get? [22:34] Try again and you might get a serious answer, I suppose. Unless you want to try #opensourcemusicans as more folk are in there. [22:40] Zburatorul: I'm so sorry, I totally misread you. [23:35] Zburatorul: i would check at #kxstudio [23:35] i know falk packages a lot of VST's, and i think he has some nice custom frontend for them
