popolon | hi | 13:46 |
---|---|---|
popolon | there is a problem between xfce and french keyboard | 13:46 |
popolon | I can't use composed (two keys) accents or the compose key in 11.10 | 13:48 |
popolon | I believe I had the same problem with ubuntu 10.10 when I tested xfce and ldxe, the bug was only on xfce | 13:49 |
fr-z | does anyone knows whats the best driver for a 9600 gt nvidia? on thr adicional drivers i see version 173, version current and experimental 3d support | 16:22 |
raven | hi | 18:49 |
raven | which hardware/settings is necessary to have no xruns on low latency <32ms? | 18:49 |
holstein | raven: hmmm... if you are at that setting, i say bump it up more | 18:50 |
holstein | til you have none | 18:50 |
holstein | anything over 15 is not going to be suitable for live effects or live synth instruments | 18:50 |
holstein | so, just go for 80ms | 18:50 |
holstein | other than that, you can try a different kernel | 18:51 |
holstein | i suggest... | 18:51 |
raven | holstein, that is my problem - i want to do live things | 18:51 |
holstein | https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa | 18:51 |
holstein | raven: right, and you cant at 32 | 18:51 |
holstein | you need around 10 | 18:51 |
raven | holstein, difficult right | 18:51 |
holstein | so, if you want that, i say you'll need to get some gear | 18:51 |
holstein | you can visit #opensourcemusicians and ask what gear gets what latency | 18:52 |
raven | but which factors cause that at 64 ms too xruns distort recordings at random times? | 18:52 |
holstein | i can get 1.2ms with my firepod | 18:52 |
holstein | though, i usually run it as like 60ms for stability and speed when mixing | 18:52 |
holstein | raven: well, if its an internal sound card, who knows | 18:53 |
holstein | it could be *not* software related | 18:53 |
holstein | but just the way that hardware is going to perform | 18:53 |
raven | holstein, no its external semi professional | 18:53 |
holstein | USB ? | 18:53 |
raven | yes | 18:53 |
holstein | i dont have good luck with USB | 18:53 |
raven | on own port | 18:53 |
holstein | yeah | 18:54 |
holstein | doesnt seem to matter to me | 18:54 |
holstein | i have a tascam 122 something that i can get around 5ms stable | 18:54 |
holstein | other than that, who knows | 18:54 |
holstein | raven: you can look at the irq settings | 18:54 |
holstein | and try and get the USB on its own address in the bios if possible | 18:55 |
raven | holstein, i have a us144 - and still no drivers...... | 18:55 |
holstein | sure | 18:55 |
raven | but its an extra soundcard with my mixer | 18:56 |
holstein | and tascam wont | 18:56 |
holstein | maybe get the wallet out and get something RME | 18:56 |
raven | rme? | 18:56 |
holstein | RME supports linux very well | 19:04 |
holstein | typically | 19:04 |
holstein | http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products.php | 19:05 |
raven | and expensive..... | 19:26 |
holstein | ? | 19:31 |
holstein | it works though | 19:31 |
holstein | and typically way better quality | 19:31 |
holstein | anyways... im out for a bit... BBL | 19:31 |
raven | holstein, no change with the newest rt kernel | 19:35 |
Lehthanis | hello! Anyone here? | 20:25 |
holstein | Lehthanis: ? | 20:49 |
Lehthanis | heya! | 20:50 |
Lehthanis | I got jackd working via terminal...but QjackCtl won't start it. | 20:50 |
holstein | yeah, i have a USB device like that | 20:50 |
holstein | i wouldnt sweat it | 20:50 |
Lehthanis | Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory | 20:50 |
holstein | you can still use the 'connect' part of qjack if you want | 20:50 |
holstein | or, some other connection manager | 20:51 |
holstein | choose your battles | 20:51 |
Lehthanis | yeah if I run it in the terminal, I can start up QjackCtl and it recognizes it | 20:51 |
holstein | if you can get JACK running, i say go for it | 20:51 |
holstein | Lehthanis: right | 20:51 |
holstein | just do that | 20:51 |
holstein | thats what i do | 20:51 |
holstein | didnt even think twice about it | 20:51 |
Lehthanis | heh, I like that...choose your battles | 20:51 |
holstein | well, with that particular hardware, i should say | 20:51 |
Lehthanis | gotcha. | 20:52 |
holstein | with most everything else, qjack works as expected | 20:52 |
Lehthanis | I do believe this laptop is going to be a learning platform for me...I may end up installing UbuntuSTudio on the church desktop...older hardware, but its got an audigy in it | 20:52 |
Lehthanis | I'll probably have a much less stressful experience | 20:52 |
holstein | the SB's are usually supported, though low-end | 20:53 |
holstein | i should say, low-end for getting audio *into* the computer | 20:53 |
Lehthanis | yeah...what's a good "cheapish" option for getting sound into a laptop? | 20:54 |
holstein | well, i have tiers of suggestions | 20:54 |
holstein | these http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx are usually like $30US | 20:55 |
holstein | nice clean stereo in with decent latency and good support | 20:55 |
holstein | you pair that with a mixer like http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/802.aspx and you got a rig thats under $100, but clean and versatile | 20:55 |
holstein | and you'll always use that mixer for something in the future, if you end up replacing it | 20:56 |
holstein | or... something like http://www.samsontech.com/zoom/products/handheld-audio-recorders/h4/ | 20:56 |
Lehthanis | we already have a yamaha emx 5000-20 mixer ;) so mixing is the easy part | 20:56 |
holstein | more like $300 | 20:56 |
holstein | better preamps | 20:57 |
holstein | nice built-in mics | 20:57 |
holstein | stand alone mode | 20:57 |
holstein | OR, something like what i got which is a presonus firepod | 20:58 |
holstein | http://www.focusrite.com/products/audio_interfaces/saffire_pro_40/ | 20:58 |
holstein | really depends on what you want to do | 20:58 |
holstein | how many channels, and whatever gear you already got | 20:58 |
Lehthanis | I think that UCA202 would be perfect...I take it there's ubuntu drivers for it? | 20:59 |
holstein | Lehthanis: ? | 21:01 |
holstein | theres ALSA drivers that work with it | 21:01 |
holstein | ubuntu doesnt make drivers | 21:01 |
Lehthanis | thats what I meant | 21:01 |
holstein | they include whatever is in the kernel | 21:01 |
Lehthanis | well, I'm off for dinner...thanks for the help and advice | 21:03 |
naptastic | Hi, I just made the terrible mistake of installing Ubuntu 11.10 and wonder if I can recover more easily by installing Ubuntu Studio or if I should just compile everything myself like I normally do. | 22:18 |

naptastic | What version of Jackd? How is it configured? | 22:19 |
