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