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