| XartaoX | g'day | 20:00 |
|---|---|---|
| XartaoX | still fighting with the keyboard volume knob issue. very annoying. | 20:00 |
| XartaoX | looking thru settings and mixers, it looks like the ALSA master volume has NO affect at all .. only PulseAudio volume has any affect | 20:01 |
| XartaoX | also, using the volume knob, it affects the PulseAudio volume and the std. headphone volume ... altho in such a limited range it's useless | 20:02 |
| XartaoX | SO ... what benefits does PulseAudio give me (why would I want to keep it) and what negatives would removing it have, if any? | 20:02 |
| XartaoX | i see also i can just disable it at startup to see if that makes any difference | 20:02 |
| XartaoX | also, i notice in the Session and Startup panel an "XFCE Volume Daemon (Daemon managing the volume multimedia keys and displaying volume notifications)" | 20:04 |
| XartaoX | i'm wondering if THAT could be the issue, and how i configure it? | 20:04 |
| XartaoX | reading up on PulseAudio, I learned that if I installed it on my win xp machine I could (potentially) send audio from my workstation TO my media server to output thru that ... which would be pretty damn cool | 20:06 |
| XartaoX | i've been considering running the Line-Out from my workstation to the Line-In of my media server for that very purpose! | 20:07 |
| XartaoX | I find it QUITE odd tho that the std. master volume control in the system mixer has NO influence on the system volume tho | 20:07 |
| XartaoX | oh .. and i DID ask about this over in #xubuntu too ... no help there really ...they directed me to some app called KeyTouch | 20:15 |
| XartaoX | my intuition tho tells me it's some inter-configuration issue between ALSA and PulseAudio ... which would (i think) make it an Ubuntu Studio issue | 20:16 |
| XartaoX | :D :D :D | 20:16 |
| XartaoX | YAY!! | 21:00 |
| XartaoX | fixed the keyboard volume knob issue!! via this page :: http://ulno.net/2011/04/16/mixer-control-with-multimedia-keys-und-multiple-soundcards-in-xfce4-on-debian-or-ubuntu/ | 21:01 |
| XartaoX | the active-card and sound-card settings were different ... i had to copy the setting from sound-card to active-card ... now it works! :D :D :D | 21:01 |
| cfhowlett | XartaoX: http://imagebin.org/196269 | 21:09 |
| XartaoX | LOLZ | 21:11 |
| XartaoX | i share my solution in case you encounter others with similar problems ;) | 21:11 |
| XartaoX | took a good deal of reasearch | 21:11 |
| holstein | wait til you reboot and those change too ;) | 21:11 |
| XartaoX | noooooo!!! | 21:12 |
| XartaoX | i already logged out and back in .. changes stuck | 21:13 |
| holstein | cool :) | 21:13 |
| XartaoX | i also figured out (with help from #xubuntu) how to make my extended desktop settings stick on reboot | 21:13 |
| XartaoX | :D | 21:13 |
| XartaoX | only remaining problem is this whole unable-to-come-back-from-suspend thing | 21:13 |
| XartaoX | but for today? enuf trubl shooting! time to play with audio apps!!!! | 21:14 |
| XartaoX | question tho: which apps would i want to use to record my MIDI input from several synths plus a drum machine so I can record a final song out to audio I can put up on SoundCloud ? | 21:14 |
| holstein | i dont sleep or suspend desktops | 21:16 |
| holstein | JACK will *freak* if you sleep while its running | 21:16 |
| holstein | XartaoX: rosegarden, qtractor, ardour3... any sequencer really | 21:17 |
| XartaoX | righto | 21:17 |
| XartaoX | and i use LADI to route the MIDI from each synth/etc. I use TO the sequencer ? | 21:18 |
| XartaoX | then in multiple passes record IN the sequencer my MIDI input with a synth, then move on to another while the sequencer plays what I already recorded ... etc. etc ... | 21:19 |
| XartaoX | ?? | 21:19 |
| holstein | XartaoX: i just use jack connect | 21:19 |
| holstein | you can ust ladi or whatever | 21:19 |
| XartaoX | i like how LADI uses a graphical nodes routing setup | 21:19 |
| holstein | rosegarden or qtractor | 21:20 |
| holstein | XartaoX: sure.. use that if you like | 21:20 |
| XartaoX | rosegarden isn't installed .. been thinkin bout it | 21:20 |
| holstein | XartaoX: ask in #opensourcemusicians too | 21:20 |
| XartaoX | k | 21:20 |
| holstein | i do *very* little mide | 21:20 |
| holstein | though, qtractor and RG are the regulars | 21:20 |
| holstein | midi* | 21:20 |
| XartaoX | also ... i know yer trying to keep the base US install light, but you MIGHT want to consider including MyPaint in future releases. VERY nice digital painting app!! | 21:21 |
| holstein | XartaoX: its a DVD | 21:21 |
| holstein | i dont care | 21:21 |
| holstein | but, you have to stop somewhere | 21:21 |
| holstein | and you cant please everyone | 21:21 |
| XartaoX | if interested ... :: the solution to my extended desktop not being remembered was to add the script created by agrandr to my startup apps | 21:22 |
| holstein | XartaoX: feel free and join #ubuntustudio-devel | 21:22 |
| XartaoX | i get it. MyPaint is well worth it tho. i find it indispensible | 21:22 |
| XartaoX | maybe :D | 21:22 |
| holstein | XartaoX: nah.. you'll need to *do something to get that included | 21:22 |
| holstein | you can join that channel, and go to a meeting and suggest it | 21:23 |
| XartaoX | fair nuf | 21:23 |
| holstein | you can add it to the meetings agenda | 21:23 |
| holstein | you can join the mailing lists | 21:23 |
| holstein | im not saying it wont happen | 21:23 |
| holstein | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel | 21:23 |
| holstein | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users | 21:23 |
| XartaoX | whelllll .. i'll hold off on that for now | 21:24 |
| XartaoX | XD | 21:24 |
| holstein | for example https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Meetings/2012February19 | 21:24 |
| holstein | you add "id like to get paint in 12.04" | 21:24 |
| holstein | you show up | 21:24 |
| holstein | you say why | 21:24 |
| holstein | you try and get someone to put it in | 21:24 |
| holstein | im grinding some different axes myself | 21:25 |
| holstein | and again, you just have to stop somewher | 21:25 |
| holstein | e | 21:25 |
| holstein | XartaoX: but... i totally agree | 21:25 |
| holstein | thats a simple paint app that could really help | 21:25 |
| XartaoX | most useful with a tablet .. which, sadly, i do not yet have ... fine with a mouse too tho | 21:26 |
| XartaoX | my problem is: having USED an Intuos, i won't be happy with anything less ;) | 21:26 |
| XartaoX | Intuos, even smaller ones, are $$$$$!!!!! | 21:26 |
| holstein | i dont like tablets | 21:27 |
| XartaoX | ?!?!? you must not do any digital painting or photo-manipulation!! :P | 21:28 |
| holstein | i do what i need to do | 21:28 |
| holstein | just not on toys ;) | 21:28 |
| XartaoX | heh . . fair nuf | 21:28 |
| XartaoX | bamboo is a toy. Intuos is not. | 21:29 |
| XartaoX | i WISH i could afford one of those video-display tablets .. <drool> | 21:29 |
| * XartaoX makes a drooly mess all over the place | 21:29 | |
| holstein | XartaoX: OH.. yeah those tablets | 21:30 |
| holstein | i have one of those | 21:30 |
| holstein | i was thinking like an ipad | 21:30 |
| XartaoX | oh. no. not an ipad | 21:31 |
| XartaoX | blah | 21:31 |
| holstein | i have an early wacom that i barely konw how to use | 21:31 |
| holstein | but i get the idea | 21:31 |
| holstein | i bet its handy | 21:31 |
| holstein | i dont do anything to warrant that | 21:31 |
| XartaoX | ja. intuos support rotation and angle as well as pressure | 21:31 |
| XartaoX | if you get the airbrush pen ... wow | 21:31 |
| holstein | but, im not a fan of the actually tiny toy talble thingies | 21:31 |
| XartaoX | me either. they're neeto, but that's about it | 21:32 |
| XartaoX | meh | 21:32 |
| XartaoX | i feel the same way about smartphones | 21:32 |
| holstein | yup | 21:32 |
| holstein | i ue my driod a lot | 21:32 |
| XartaoX | i just want my phone to be a phone, my mp3 player to be an mp3 player, and my camera to be a camera | 21:32 |
| holstein | but i always hate the web on it | 21:32 |
| XartaoX | with a 'smart-device', if it breaks, you lose all three at once | 21:33 |
| XartaoX | boooooo | 21:33 |
| holstein | XartaoX: i dont mind an all in one | 21:33 |
| holstein | i just hate having shite versions all stuck together | 21:33 |
| XartaoX | fair nuf | 21:33 |
| holstein | its like, a subpar experience on all the different parts :/ | 21:33 |
| holstein | i like the idea though | 21:33 |
| XartaoX | <sigh> crushed seeds ain't doin it for me ... hope 'my guy' gets home ;) | 21:33 |
| holstein | maybe some day :) | 21:33 |
| holstein | XartaoX: lol | 21:33 |
| XartaoX | hmmm | 21:52 |
| XartaoX | why would Hydrogen have no MIDI input in LADI?? | 21:52 |
| XartaoX | WOW!! the latency is BEAUTIFUL!! perfect! control!! :D :D | 21:59 |
| holstein | XartaoX: maybe JACK midi to alsa-midi | 22:07 |
| holstein | i usually fire up a2jmidid | 22:07 |
| XartaoX | eh? | 22:11 |
| XartaoX | XD yer confusing me | 22:11 |
| XartaoX | OH! yer addressing why hydrogen has no midi input in ladi | 22:23 |
| XartaoX | .. i just discovered the whole 'editing the synth' portion of Yoshimi | 23:12 |
| XartaoX | HOLY CRAP!! | 23:12 |
| XartaoX | it's seriously gonna take some time to learn to use all these audio apps together properly | 23:21 |
| XartaoX | i STILL haven't figuresd out how to record what I'm doing with the synths | 23:22 |
| XartaoX | or at leasat not my actual MIDI inputs, so I can quantize them or otherwise adjust them .. say velocity or mod or bend | 23:22 |
| XartaoX | seeing as i don't actually HAVE a proper MIDI controller .. just the computer keyboard and my mouse | 23:23 |
