| astraljava | o/ | 09:04 |
| damo22 | i wonder if midi can be transmitted over the net and synced to jack | 09:05 |
| damo22 | at both ends | 09:05 |
| astraljava | Ahh... good question, and one that I don't have an answer to, unfortunately. | 09:06 |
| damo22 | ive been playing with rtpmidi and Mac OSX CoreMIDI network | 09:06 |
| astraljava | Hang around for a while, if someone else shows up who does, however. | 09:06 |
| astraljava | Also, you could try #opensourcemusicians, they're a great bunch. | 09:06 |
| damo22 | cool thx | 09:07 |
| ailo | damo22: jack has some tools for that I believe, and there's also OSC | 09:33 |
| ailo | damo22: You could try checking out #jack for jack specific stuff | 09:34 |
| ailo | damo22: This might be what you are looking for http://qmidinet.sourceforge.net/qmidinet-index.html | 09:35 |
| ailo | You can find it in the Ubuntu repo as qmidinet | 09:36 |
| damo22 | wow nice | 09:36 |
| damo22 | except its multicast | 09:36 |
| damo22 | so you cant use it over a WAN | 09:36 |
| damo22 | im looking for the equivalent of "rtpmidi" but for linux | 09:38 |
| myrmidette | for all you artists out there- does anyone know of a viable alternative to gimp? | 18:08 |
| myrmidette | must be free as in beer, available for linux | 18:08 |
| holstein | depends on what you want to do i suppose | 18:08 |
| holstein | i cant imagine not getting what i need done with GIMP | 18:08 |
| holstein | but, i dont need CMYK output | 18:08 |
| myrmidette | something with similar functionality, specifically the ability to rotate the canvas | 18:08 |
| holstein | i think you'll find that GIMP is the best, and most supported and actively developed | 18:09 |
| myrmidette | gimp has an annoying bug where every one once in a while it won't let me undo a change | 18:09 |
| holstein | and arguably with the most functionality | 18:09 |
| myrmidette | drives me crazy | 18:09 |
| holstein | myrmidette: i would say report that bug and work with the developers to fix it | 18:10 |
| holstein | i doubt you will find a more capable application with less bugs | 18:10 |
| myrmidette | sure holstein | 18:10 |
| myrmidette | well, strictly speaking I lied. The one being driven crazy was my little sister, but her screams were loud enough to annoy me | 18:11 |
| holstein | yeah... and thats not a bug i have encoutered, so i cant speak about it | 18:11 |
| myrmidette | she's not a very 'computer literate' person and she doesn't know how to file a bug report | 18:11 |
| holstein | not to be rude, but it sounds more like user error to me | 18:11 |
| myrmidette | and she doesn't really want to learn, but I can understand that | 18:12 |
| myrmidette | no, it was pretty obvious. She makes a stroke, presses ctrl z, nothing happens | 18:12 |
| myrmidette | she starts screaming | 18:12 |
| holstein | that literally *never* has happened to me | 18:12 |
| holstein | could be the keyboard | 18:12 |
| holstein | coud be focus related | 18:13 |
| holstein | could be somethig in the config | 18:13 |
| myrmidette | focus? | 18:13 |
| holstein | yup.. the focus is not on the gimp window you think its supposed to be on | 18:13 |
| holstein | there are typically 3 windows | 18:13 |
| holstein | maybe she would prefer using it in 1 window | 18:13 |
| holstein | not sure when that is happening | 18:13 |
| myrmidette | oh that sort of focus | 18:13 |
| holstein | could be that she is focused on the tool palette | 18:13 |
| holstein | thus control+z'ing over there | 18:14 |
| holstein | and not where she expects | 18:14 |
| holstein | i mean, it could be that she is the only person to find such an obvious bug, and again, not to be rude... it really sound like user error, or config | 18:14 |
| holstein | the GIMP is quite well maintained | 18:15 |
| holstein | one of the big ones | 18:15 |
| holstein | regardles... you wont find a better graphics application | 18:15 |
| holstein | there are several really nice photo management applications, but i dont think that will get you what you want | 18:15 |
