| altice | this a good place to ask about recording hardware recommendations? | 01:18 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | altice: sure | 02:17 |
| holstein | here and/or #opensourcemusicians | 02:18 |
| altice | I have a tascam | 02:18 |
| altice | works just fine | 02:18 |
| altice | but not with linux | 02:18 |
| altice | I'm having a terrible time figure out jackd, but that's a diff story | 02:18 |
| holstein | i have one as well | 02:18 |
| holstein | i have to use a custom JACK startup script and a -generic kernel and it works OK | 02:18 |
| altice | I think my problem is I cannot get past figured out how to setup everything, it's a little confusing for me and haven't found a good tutorial | 02:19 |
| holstein | anyways.. whats you buget? and what are you mostly planning on doing? and what is the tascam you alreay have? | 02:19 |
| holstein | altice: that document is challening to create | 02:19 |
| holstein | all the hardware cases are different | 02:19 |
| altice | oh really? | 02:20 |
| altice | that must be the specifics, if I knew more about how jackd needed to be setup in order to work I might be able to figure it out | 02:20 |
| altice | budget....i'd like to only spend $200-300, and mostly what we are looking for is a way to get more inputs | 02:20 |
| holstein | well, we can talk you through that at some point | 02:20 |
| holstein | altice: you can pick up a presonus firepod used for that price these days | 02:21 |
| altice | only 2 on the tascam, we need to mic up a full drum kit and then have two ports left over (3 would be nice) | 02:21 |
| holstein | its firewire, and works well | 02:21 |
| holstein | out of the box | 02:21 |
| holstein | i have ont | 02:21 |
| holstein | one* | 02:21 |
| altice | 2 ports for guitar and bass (3rd would be to put in a synth/piano or a turntable setup | 02:21 |
| altice | will I get the port density I need with a firepod? | 02:21 |
| altice | or am I looking at the wrong thing....... | 02:22 |
| holstein | not sure what you are talking about | 02:22 |
| holstein | theres 8ins and outs | 02:22 |
| altice | the tascam has only 2 inputs right? | 02:22 |
| holstein | decent preamps | 02:22 |
| altice | or are we on the firepod? | 02:22 |
| holstein | http://www.mikeholstein.info/2011/07/living-solo-bass-made-with-ubuntu.html | 02:23 |
| holstein | ^^ i made that with the firepod | 02:23 |
| holstein | though, i didnt use its preamps | 02:23 |
| holstein | altice: not sure how many in/outs your tascam has | 02:23 |
| altice | mine only has 2 | 02:23 |
| altice | I'm looking for a decent option to expand that | 02:23 |
| altice | I guess my question is should I get a mixer, or a different recording device? | 02:24 |
| altice | ...wow...listening to your music right now... | 02:24 |
| altice | diggin that jazz | 02:24 |
| * holstein bows... thanks for listening | 02:25 | |
| altice | ...I don't think I want to record anymore | 02:27 |
| altice | lol | 02:27 |
| holstein | hehe | 02:28 |
| holstein | altice: its not too much hassle getting everything going | 02:28 |
| altice | even trying to run it all in linux? | 02:28 |
| holstein | sure | 02:30 |
| holstein | i actually think its the unlearning process that is challenging | 02:30 |
| altice | dude....aren't you supposed to be putting on a show right now? | 02:30 |
| altice | lol I'm reading everything on your site btw | 02:30 |
| holstein | if you are already used to cubase or something like that | 02:30 |
| holstein | like i was | 02:30 |
| holstein | altice: feel free | 02:31 |
| holstein | its not up to date though :/ | 02:31 |
| altice | ahh | 02:31 |
| altice | I was going to say | 02:31 |
| altice | how much of a badass are you hanging out backstage somewhere taking linux/music questions in between sets.... | 02:31 |
| altice | hahaha | 02:31 |
| holstein | lol | 02:32 |
| holstein | im off tonite | 02:32 |
| altice | I am not use to cubase at all actually, my extent of music recording revolved around CoolEditPro when that was popular | 02:32 |
| holstein | i have a tuesday thing | 02:32 |
| altice | and of course windows | 02:32 |
| holstein | but we are taking a break | 02:32 |
| holstein | i'll have a bout a month off from it | 02:32 |
| holstein | which is fine by me | 02:32 |
| altice | everybody needs a break eventually | 02:32 |
| altice | also, my linux experience just started about a year ago from right now | 02:33 |
| holstein | cool | 02:33 |
| holstein | welcome :) | 02:33 |
| altice | but now....everything I run is linux, a friend of mine turned me onto it and it's been a great breakthrough for me | 02:33 |
| altice | open source community is right in line with what I believe | 02:33 |
| altice | him and I now post to a personal blog about little things we come across and figure out and share with people | 02:35 |
| altice | holstein: well if you can think of a really good jackd tutorial that helped you out, please feel free to pass it along. | 02:39 |
| holstein | altice: the #opensourcemusicians channel is where i got help | 02:41 |
| holstein | but i can get you going too | 02:41 |
| altice | if that's the place to find the right people then good for me to start there | 02:42 |
| altice | I'll try that | 02:42 |
| altice | thanks | 02:42 |
| holstein | i gotta run for a bit | 02:45 |
| holstein | but, im here often | 02:45 |
| holstein | and ill get you up and running | 02:45 |
| altice | no problem, I'll catch you next time I'm trying to get this going :) | 02:46 |
| altice | anyone able to help with a JACKd problem? | 17:17 |
| altice | I am trying to get audio in with a TASCAM us-122 | 17:17 |
| kalethecool | newbie IRC user and fairly new linux/ubuntu studio user here. Can someone clear up for me what is going on with realtime kernels? | 17:41 |
| astraljava | kalethecool: We're going to go with a -lowlatency setup. Most of the features are creeping in to mainline, so no real need for a -rt patched anymore. | 17:51 |
| kalethecool | by mainline you mean generic ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| kalethecool | and is there a place I can keep an eye on the development and implementation of the low latency kernel? Does it look like it will be in 12.04? | 17:53 |
| astraljava | kalethecool: No, mainline kernel. | 18:17 |
| astraljava | kalethecool: I'm not sure, ScottL did mention it might be ready quite late in the cycle, so there's a bit of an uncertainty. But I don't know really where to keep track of it. We'll try to inform the community about it better, I guess. Mailing list and here, I suppose. | 18:19 |
| kalethecool | ok, still getting used to how to stay up-to-date on things. is there a low-latency for 10.04? I couldn't find one in synaptic, or Borgani and Dev PPAs. | 18:24 |
| astraljava | Might have been -rt for lucid, I forget now. | 18:24 |
| kalethecool | I'm 32 bit on this machine, so I think that excludes me from -rt. | 18:27 |
| kalethecool | Thanks for the help. | 18:27 |
| astraljava | No, that shouldn't have anything to do with it. | 18:29 |
