| exiliob | hi all, got some questions - trying to record some original compositions with ubuntu studio.... | 03:03 |
|---|---|---|
| exiliob | I'm "lost in the sauce", so to speak... | 03:04 |
| exiliob | Could somebody give me a rundown on how I can educate myself on home recording, specifically with the tools in ubuntustudio? | 03:04 |
| exiliob | I plan on making a comprehensive tutorial on the subject, using 10.04 LTS | 03:05 |
| exiliob | be back in 30 minuntes... | 03:09 |
| holstein | exiliob: sure | 03:42 |
| holstein | you can try #opensourcemusicians | 03:42 |
| holstein | i dont think anyone will argue that JACK + ardour is a very professinal way to go | 03:42 |
| holstein | though, there are simpler ways to get started | 03:42 |
| holstein | if you'd like to just use audacity for example to "get your feet wet" | 03:43 |
| exiliob | yeah, i'm on your page now. I guess I'm missing the "start here, finish there" comprehensive tut. | 03:54 |
| holstein | yup | 03:55 |
| holstein | its more like, "if your doing A, you *can* start here.. but i start here... and here's why you should/shouldnt" | 03:55 |
| holstein | AND, it depends on your hardware | 03:56 |
| holstein | anyways... learning JACK is a trick all on its own | 03:56 |
| exiliob | well, i've got an older pavilion dv6000 (missing an alt key), would that someone recording just solo guitar pieces, cause that's what i'm doing. I just want some reverb as fx | 03:57 |
| exiliob | oh yeah, ext. recording with audiobox usb | 03:57 |
| holstein | yup | 03:58 |
| holstein | you can do that as simple or as complex as you want | 03:58 |
| holstein | http://www.mikeholstein.info/2011/07/living-solo-bass-made-with-ubuntu.html | 03:58 |
| holstein | i did that with ubuntustudio 10.04 and KXstudio packages added | 03:59 |
| exiliob | do have a link for the specific packages on that page (thx for the link,btw) | 03:59 |
| holstein | not specifices | 04:00 |
| holstein | not specifics* | 04:00 |
| holstein | mostly just upgraded custom versions | 04:00 |
| exiliob | ok, thanks, bbl | 04:01 |
| holstein | you dont nee dthem so much if you are on 11.10 though | 04:01 |
| holstein | not that you need them with 10.04 | 04:02 |
| holstein | just to get newer versions past the LTS release | 04:03 |
| exiliob | i just read that my external audiobox isn't working so well wit 11.10 | 04:04 |
| holstein | exiliob: check the alsa site | 04:05 |
| holstein | and theres also no reason to not just plug it in | 04:06 |
| holstein | i mean, it either works or it doesnt | 04:06 |
| arges | is there a way to disable pulseaudio so jack can take over? 'pulseaudio -k' seems to kill it and then jack takes over and works, but then it respawns . | 14:38 |
| holstein | arges: when i run jack, pulse suspends | 14:45 |
| holstein | running qjackctl should be all you need to do | 14:46 |
| arges | holstein, hmm. are those modifications for ubuntustudio? or should be normal behavior for pulseaudio/jack? | 14:47 |
| holstein | arges: AFAIK, thats what happens with JACK in ubuntu, and other distros as well | 15:25 |
| holstein | i believe its called pasuspender | 15:25 |
| arges | holstein, found this: " echo "autospawn = no" > ~/.pulse/client.conf" | 15:25 |
| holstein | you can try it for yourself, but it shouldnt kill pulse, just suspend it | 15:26 |
| holstein | remove pulse if you like | 15:26 |
| arges | yea i'm going to keep it | 15:26 |
| arges | and use the pulse jack sing | 15:26 |
| arges | sink | 15:26 |
| holstein | yeah, i dont do that | 15:26 |
| holstein | i dont want/need pulse in my studio | 15:26 |
| arges | basically I want to have a studio by night... coding music / mumble machine by day | 15:26 |
| holstein | i actually rarely use pulse on my studio machine, but i still just have it there | 15:27 |
| holstein | so far, i prefer having pulse | 15:27 |
| arges | does it add to latency too much? | 15:27 |
| holstein | arges: i just dont need it... i would expect similar performance | 15:27 |
| holstein | i start JACK, pulse goes away... i do my work, i stop JACK, and pulse makes it like a normal ubuntu destkop | 15:28 |
| arges | yea | 15:28 |
| holstein | i have been running crunchbang linux without pulse for about 6 weeks now | 15:28 |
| arges | ok well i just reinstalled the full 'ubuntustudio-audio' package. so maybe i missed a few things | 15:28 |
| holstein | arges: no reason to install those at all if you just need a few things | 15:29 |
| holstein | should be fine though | 15:29 |
| arges | got plenty of disk space | 15:29 |
| arges | : ) | 15:29 |
| holstein | sure... | 15:29 |
| holstein | feel free and try #opensourcemusicians too for tips and whatever | 15:29 |
| holstein | lots of dev's hang there, and users of all distros | 15:30 |
| arges | blah. pulse mixer at 100% distorts the audio | 15:30 |
| arges | ok | 15:30 |
| arges | yea adding | 15:30 |
| holstein | arges: check out pavucontrol too | 15:31 |
| arges | ahh cool | 15:31 |
