[04:09] <Tadcrazio> 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] <therealdgood> Hello.
[04:42] <therealdgood> Anyone know of any audio glitches in the current release of Ubuntu Studio?
[04:43] <therealdgood> I'm getting strange intermittent pops which are very disruptive :(
[04:59] <holstein> therealdgood: hello
[04:59] <holstein> are you using JACK?
[04:59] <holstein> feel free to elaborate
[05:00] <holstein> is this a new issue?
[05:00] <holstein> is it all the time?
[05:00] <holstein> what interface?
[05:00] <holstein> if you are using JACK, what are your setting?
[05:00] <holstein> settings*
[06:23] <therealdgood> I'm sorry, but I was away for awhile.
[06:24] <therealdgood> I'll have to dig into this further and get back with you.
[06:24] <therealdgood> Thanks.
[16:16] <dgood`> Hey Scott!  I really enjoyed your appearence on Linux Outlaws recently :)
[16:33] <pietro10> Hi. What are the default font settings in Ubuntu Studio 11.04?
[16:41] <dgood`> I think it's DejaVu Sans Book.
[16:42] <pietro10> ok
[16:42] <dgood`> Computer's not with me so I can't check, but I remember it's Book something.
[16:42] <pietro10> did that font change last night?
[16:42] <pietro10> because now I'm noticing japanese characters (I deal with game titles for a wiki) look different
[16:42] <dgood`> I didn't update last night, so I can't say.
[16:43] <pietro10> and I still have the broken half-ubuntu half-ubuntu studio from a month ago :D
[16:43] <pietro10> On that note, isn't 11.04 going to switch to xfce? Is that in the beta disc at the moment?
[16:43] <pietro10> *11.10
[16:43] <dgood`> Yes, I think that's right.
[16:44] <dgood`> Scott said on Linux Outlaws that Gnome3 wasn't right for Ubuntu Studio users.
[16:45] <dgood`> And since "classic" gnome is going away, Xfce looks like the right choice.
[16:45] <dgood`> I'm just a user though, I don't really know.
[16:48] <pietro10> ok
[16:48] <pietro10> bah I'll just watch the font fix itself when I actually do move
[16:49] <pietro10> thanks anyway
[16:53] <dgood`> 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] <dgood`> 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] <dgood`> Do you think that would cause any problems?
[16:55] <dgood`> At this point, I don't know how to begin troubleshooting the laptop hardware versus the ubuntu software.
[16:55] <dgood`> Any ideas would be appreciated.
[18:03] <holstein> dgood`: hello
[18:04] <holstein> dgood`: are you running JACK?
[18:05] <holstein> if you are just playing audio, you dont need to wait in here
[18:05] <holstein> you could try more busy channels for general ubuntu support
[18:06] <holstein> dgood`: feel free to hang here though
[19:37] <dgood`> Hello holstein.
[19:37] <dgood`> I don't know if I'm running JACK right now or not.
[19:37] <dgood`> This is the basic install plus the ubuntustudio-audio package.
[19:39] <dgood`> 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] <dgood`> I'll check if jackd is running tonight when I get back to the laptop.
[19:45] <dgood`> 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] <dgood`> 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] <dgood`> Is there usually much discussion in this channel?
[21:15] <holstein> dgood`: you are not running JACK then
[21:15] <holstein> JACK is not something that just runs
[21:15] <holstein> you would need to get it running
[21:15] <dgood`> I have to start it manually?
[21:15] <holstein> then, it allows for a click and pop free way to create audio
[21:15] <holstein> ubuntustudio is really not aimed at media comsumption
[21:16] <holstein> well.. not any more or less than ubuntu is
[21:16] <holstein> dgood`: if you dont need JACK, you dont need it
[21:16] <dgood`> Right, but it is aimed at DJs right?
[21:16] <holstein> dgood`: depends
[21:16] <dgood`> I'm looking to DJ with Mixxx
[21:16] <holstein> i would suggest looking at idcj
[21:16] <holstein> internet DJ console
[21:17] <dgood`> I'm a wedding DJ, not an internet DJ.
[21:17] <holstein> dgood`: i wouldnt lose sleep over some clicks and pops here and there when playing things in the browser
[21:17] <holstein> dgood`: sure... i would still look at idjc
[21:17] <dgood`> This is live audio.
[21:17] <holstein> right
[21:17] <holstein> that is for that as well
[21:18] <dgood`> Ok, I'll give it a look.
[21:18] <holstein> dgood`: look at what you want
[21:18] <holstein> idjc would be a nice fit though i think
[21:18] <holstein> dgood`: this channel is typically pretty quiet
[21:18] <holstein> i usually suggest folk try #opensourcemusicians
[21:18] <astraljava> Which is partly the reason why. :D
[21:18] <dgood`> Ha!
[21:20] <astraljava> 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] <astraljava> So don't get me wrong.
[21:22] <holstein> :)
[21:22] <dgood`> So who is the target audience for Ubuntu Studio?
[21:22] <holstein> yeah, im hear when i can be for sure
[21:22] <holstein> dgood`: we are working on defining that
[21:23] <holstein> DJ's are in there somewhere for sure
[21:26] <dgood`> An interesting link for sure: Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections
[21:26] <dgood`> IDJC
[21:28] <dgood`> Internet DJ console looks pretty cool.  I'll give it a try for sure.
[21:29] <dgood`> Thanks for the tip.
[21:39] <astraljava> 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] <astraljava> oneiric can be considered as a practice target, with the actual aim in the next one.
[21:41] <Zburatorul> can i have some suggestions for a good VST host please?
[21:46] <astraljava> Zburatorul: Absolutely.
[21:48] <orngjce223> lol
[21:49] <orngjce223> Mathematician's answer? :V
[21:49] <dgood`> Stupid question: What is causing the emphesized lines with my name sometimes when people reply to my questions?
[21:52] <holstein> like this dgood` ?
[21:52] <orngjce223> You have "mentions" turned on in your client, whatever it is.
[21:53] <orngjce223> You can turn it off if you like; most of us find it useful.
[21:54] <dgood`> 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] <astraljava> Oh dear gawd.
[21:54] <orngjce223> No, most clients just happen to have tab completion for "Name:"
[21:54] <astraljava> I read that as "can I _give_ some suggestions..."
[21:54] <orngjce223> Heheh
[21:54]  * astraljava hangs head in shame
[21:54] <orngjce223> Oh dear. :P
[21:56] <dgood`> orngjce223: You're right. Mine does as well.
[21:56] <dgood`> emacs rcirc mode
[22:29] <Zburatorul> is the mathematician's answer all i get?
[22:34] <orngjce223> 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] <astraljava> Zburatorul: I'm so sorry, I totally misread you.
[23:35] <holstein> Zburatorul: i would check at #kxstudio
[23:35] <holstein> i know falk packages a lot of VST's, and i think he has some nice custom frontend for them
