| astraljava | Please don't turn (even [possible|probable]) users away, not even for google. There's a lot of information in the ubuntu.com domain, and it would be nice if they were pointed that way instead. You know, to build a more friendly and hospitable community feel. | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| astraljava | JoshieS: Does this webpage answer your question? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 00:05 |
| acerimmer | astraljava: point taken | 00:06 |
| astraljava | Thanks for understanding. | 00:06 |
| JoshieS | yep thanks | 00:06 |
| acerimmer | astraljava: related(?) 5 Golden Rules for a Successful Ubuntu Migration lists Xara Linux Extreme as the Open Source alternative to Adobe Illustrator. Xara LX is doa. Surely they meant Inkcape? Pass the word. | 00:08 |
| astraljava | acerimmer: Do you mean the Canonical ebook? | 00:18 |
| acerimmer | astraljava: yeah. I downloaded it last night and found that little tidbit. NOT the best way maybe to encourage widespread adoption? | 00:20 |
| astraljava | acerimmer: www.xaraxtreme.org seems to suggest the project isn't dead, just changed its name a little. But yeah, that could be corrected. I'll see if I can find someone who could do that. | 00:22 |
| acerimmer | astraljava: cool. Thanks. | 00:24 |
| arges | anybody used USB2.0 devices with Ardour/jack? looking at the Tascam US-800, looks like a decent device for a laptop rig | 13:24 |
| Kent | Hey guys, anyone help me with my Samson Co1 USB microphone? | 22:44 |
| holstein | Kent: o/ | 22:44 |
| Kent | It's connected and recognised, and levels are turned up, but still no sound | 22:44 |
| holstein | in what way? | 22:44 |
| holstein | what are you trying to do? | 22:44 |
| Kent | Record | 22:44 |
| holstein | are you using audactiy? | 22:45 |
| holstein | audacity* | 22:45 |
| holstein | JACK? ardour? | 22:45 |
| holstein | qtractor? | 22:45 |
| Kent | Yeah, but i also want it to work in flash | 22:45 |
| Kent | alsa and pulseaudio | 22:45 |
| holstein | try installing pavucontrol | 22:45 |
| Kent | okay, what does it do | 22:45 |
| holstein | i dont know anything about getting sound to or from flash | 22:45 |
| holstein | thats going to be challening since no one you can talk to supports it | 22:46 |
| Kent | Well the flash program recognises the microphone - just no sound, same as Audacity | 22:46 |
| holstein | well, lets assume when you get things properly routed, all will be well | 22:46 |
| Kent | the CO1 is supposed to be well rsupporte | 22:46 |
| holstein | try pavucontrol | 22:46 |
| Kent | supported* | 22:46 |
| holstein | it allows you to select devices, and apps for pulse to use | 22:46 |
| Kent | ok | 22:47 |
| Kent | In the recording tab I have a blank sreen with "No application is currently recording audio" | 22:47 |
| holstein | also, you can try in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners since this is not really ubuntustudio related | 22:47 |
| holstein | not that im trying to kick you out... we just mostly use JACK here | 22:47 |
| Kent | I tried several times over the past few days, they are useless | 22:47 |
| holstein | OK | 22:47 |
| holstein | i think its a routing issue | 22:47 |
| holstein | lets focus on pavucontrol | 22:48 |
| Kent | Maybe you're right, but I don't know much about routing audio | 22:48 |
| holstein | there are meters in there | 22:48 |
| holstein | they show acivity when tapping or snapping in front of the mic | 22:48 |
| holstein | assuming its working | 22:48 |
| Kent | not in pavucontrol | 22:48 |
| holstein | yup | 22:48 |
| Kent | oh right, well its not responding | 22:48 |
| holstein | OK, then what about on the unit? | 22:49 |
| holstein | any switches? | 22:49 |
| Kent | no | 22:49 |
| holstein | knobs? | 22:49 |
| Kent | It works fine i windows | 22:49 |
| Kent | I just tested it now | 22:49 |
| holstein | Kent: so | 22:49 |
| holstein | that only means the unit isnt broken | 22:49 |
| holstein | which *is* data | 22:49 |
| holstein | anyways... open in a terminal | 22:50 |
| Kent | yes | 22:50 |
| holstein | alsamixer | 22:50 |
| holstein | hit F5 | 22:50 |
| holstein | trust *no* labels | 22:50 |
| Kent | ok, so turn everything up? | 22:50 |
| holstein | Kent: you can, but you can break things, or just make loud unwanted noises | 22:51 |
| Kent | so far so good | 22:51 |
| holstein | just try tweaking things there, ideally, while you can see a read out somewhere | 22:51 |
| holstein | a read out, or a meter... | 22:52 |
| Kent | no | 22:52 |
| holstein | Kent: no joy? | 22:52 |
| Kent | no | 22:53 |
| Kent | Everything is up | 22:53 |
| holstein | i find a few things, maybe you have seen them | 22:56 |
| holstein | http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5600 | 22:56 |
| holstein | http://ardour.org/node/3124 | 22:56 |
| holstein | is it a Co1u ? | 22:56 |
| holstein | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkNJaBvjJ68 | 22:56 |
| Kent | yep | 22:56 |
| holstein | that youtube video suggests | 22:57 |
| holstein | capture HDA intel ACL880 | 22:57 |
| holstein | im sure its something fiddly like that | 22:58 |
| holstein | dont trust any labels | 22:58 |
| holstein | and dont change anything you cant change back | 22:58 |
| holstein | try all the devices listed though | 22:58 |
| Kent | right, I'll try that | 22:58 |
| Kent | Audacity gives a huge list of input options for some reason | 22:58 |
| holstein | yup, i'd try all those real quick | 22:58 |
| holstein | and feel free to try #opensourcemusicians | 22:59 |
