[04:21] <LaterMan> Hi
[04:22] <LaterMan> im looking for a good resource to aid in configuring jackd
[04:22] <LaterMan> its really kicking my ass
[04:23] <holstein> sure
[04:23] <holstein> try the GUI
[04:23] <holstein> qjackctl
[04:23] <holstein> i typically issue "gksudo qjackctl" for troubleshooting purposes
[04:24] <LaterMan> hey i talked to you the other day, i got 12.04 up n runnin
[04:25] <holstein> coo
[04:25] <holstein> l
[04:37] <LaterMan> thanks for you help, AGAIN
[15:10] <Kentrel> Anyone know much about mixing speech with music
[15:10] <holstein> sure
[15:10] <Kentrel> Like a music bed you hear on radio
[15:11] <holstein> you could do that with something as simple as audacity
[15:11] <holstein> there are tricky tools that are supposed to "dodge" or whatever
[15:11] <holstein> but, i say, just mix it
[15:11] <Kentrel> Sorry,I forgot to say I want to automate it
[15:11] <holstein> yeah, you actually dont
[15:11] <Kentrel> I have hundreds of speech files
[15:11] <holstein> but, you can try if you want
[15:12] <holstein> automating it will be kind of hit and miss
[15:12] <Kentrel> I figured that
[15:12] <holstein> the pro's dont automate it
[15:12] <Kentrel> But I wondered if there was a general rule that I can follow
[15:12] <holstein> you might find something online
[15:12] <holstein> Kentrel: sure
[15:12] <holstein> you want to be able to hear both
[15:12] <Kentrel> I'm not doing anything Pro - just want a music bed for my audiobooks
[15:12] <Kentrel> Without mudding the speech
[15:12] <holstein> yeah
[15:12] <holstein> just turn the music down more
[15:12] <holstein> you can EQ them
[15:12] <holstein> but, i say, keep it simple
[15:13] <holstein> just turn the volume down on the music
[15:13] <holstein> "ride the fader" as they say :)
[15:13] <holstein> you can ask in #opensourcemusicians about a more automated way if you would like
[15:13] <holstein> but personally, id never trust it
[15:13] <Kentrel> Yeah, I suppose i'll do that
[15:13] <Kentrel> I noticed ubuntu has a few commandline tools for stuff like that
[15:14] <holstein> sure
[15:14] <holstein> doesnt really matter what tool you use
