[02:02] <thebishop> hi all
[02:02] <thebishop> i'm unable to get jack started on my firewire soundcard in 12.04 beta2
[02:02] <thebishop> i've got ffado-dbus-server running
[02:03] <thebishop> and i ran jackd -d firewire -p 256 -n 2 -r 48000
[02:28] <scriptwarlock> o/ all
[03:02] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows some noise reduction plugins exists in ardour
[03:29] <len-1204> scriptwarlock, don't know what is a good noise reduction to use, ardour doesn't come with any plugins. It looks on your system to see what LADSPA or LV2 plugins are installed and can use those.
[03:30] <scriptwarlock> audacity has one but it's tiresome jumping apps to another
[03:30] <len-1204> Th
[03:30] <len-1204> I'm not sure but I thought audacity used the same plugins... but maybe it has soem of its own too.
[03:31] <len-1204> I have used the one in audacity. But I don't know if it is also available elsewhere.
[03:32] <scriptwarlock> was master some live recording ang found out some annoying buzz thats why im searching some noise redution tools for ardoue unfortunately gate is not the right one for this
[03:34] <len-1204> The one in ad
[03:34] <scriptwarlock> ad?
[03:35] <len-1204> the one in audacity samples the noise and tries to take out anything like it..
[03:35] <len-1204> finger trouble.
[03:36] <len-1204> I see no LV2 filters like that.
[03:36] <scriptwarlock> hope someone can make some noise reduction tools for us
[03:36] <scriptwarlock> for ardour
[03:37] <scriptwarlock> in a few days after i'm done with the website im making going to switch to ubuntu studio 12.04, any news about it?
[03:41] <len-1204> It's pretty much done for this cycle. There's a live dvd iso this time so you can look at it with out installing
[03:41] <scriptwarlock> yes checking
[03:41] <len-1204> The switch to xfce is complete.
[03:41] <scriptwarlock> so no unity?
[03:42] <len-1204> Some one has a method of doing that too. But for a lot of us unity just doesn't work and takes too much CPU/Memory
[03:43] <len-1204> I'm not the one to ask as I personally don't like unity for this kind of work.
[03:43] <scriptwarlock> i have downloaded a torrent US12.04 beta2 this is xfce?
[03:44] <len-1204> I figure unity is a good netbook DE though. US12.04 B2 is xfce
[03:44] <scriptwarlock> im good with xfce
[03:45] <scriptwarlock> perhaps lxde too is compatible with us12.04?
[03:45] <len-1204> It comes with a low latency kernel as well.
[03:46] <len-1204> I don't know lxde well enough to say.
[03:46] <scriptwarlock> ok download is finished gonna try this to one of my machine
[03:47] <len-1204> Most of the apps will of course work, the themes are ok
[03:47] <len-1204> menus might not be the same on lxde
[03:47] <scriptwarlock> xcfe is fine
[03:53] <scriptwarlock> i have to trim down this ustudio my only interest is ardour and mixxx
[03:54] <len-1204> There are plans to have a setup that just installs the required apps
[03:55] <scriptwarlock> on video editors theres is openshot and was waiting for lightworks
[03:56] <scriptwarlock> wow on graphics theres too many of them that i dont want
[03:56] <scriptwarlock> and also on midi
[04:01] <len-1204> With the alt install we could have workflow installs. The live iso dosen't allow that.
[04:01] <scriptwarlock> oh
[04:02] <len-1204> SO the thought is to make an "after install" installer for workflows.
[04:03] <scriptwarlock> us12.04 is huge 2.+gig
[04:03] <len-1204> I think a lot of the stuff in the meta packages are now recommends, so removing one app should work.
[04:03] <len-1204> Yup, dvd only no CD
[04:03] <scriptwarlock> is it because of the default apps?
[04:04] <len-1204> Pretty much, most of the ubuntu distros had a very hard time fitting things into a CD. Most have some of their stuff installing from net.
[04:05] <len-1204> I think ubuntu desktop installs libreoffice from net for example.
[04:06] <scriptwarlock> was thinking ubuntu studio is good for studios not for desktop usage
[04:06] <len-1204> That is the design thought too.
[04:06] <scriptwarlock> so omitting net apps is a better way of trimming down the iso
[04:07] <len-1204> The CD size has become a bit outdated. Most of us install from a usb stick... in fact this computer has no dvd/cd drive and that is the only way for me to install.
[04:08] <len-1204> I would like to have more control over what I load though
[04:08] <scriptwarlock> i am planning to have a recording studio sooner and was eyeing ubuntu studio
[04:09] <scriptwarlock> does ustudio support hardware like presonus or motu?
[04:10] <len-1204> It ouwld support whatever alsa supports, plus there is the firewire drivers.
[04:11] <scriptwarlock> yes firewire is still needed
[04:11] <len-1204> Firewire is going to get added to alsa, but is not there yet.
[04:13] <len-1204> I'm pretty new to all this, mostly doing testing to make sure it installs and runs.
[04:14] <scriptwarlock> likewise here very noob on ustudio but not ubuntu
[04:16] <scriptwarlock> im still hoping unity is included on ustudio and assuming most users will use some hispec pc/laptop
[04:19] <scriptwarlock> brb lunch time
[07:31] <scriptwarlock> no screenshots for ustudio 12.04 yet?
[10:22] <walidvb> hi guys, need a little help installing a motu traveller mk1 on my 10.04
[10:22] <walidvb> i can't see the device in my input devices... i installed ffado
[10:23] <walidvb> tried all i could find on google, but it's not working
[10:23] <walidvb> i need this done by 2, we're doing rehearsals for a show, and that needs to work.. :/
[10:23] <walidvb> would be extremely grateful to get some help, thanks!
[11:45] <ttoine> walidvb, hi
[11:47] <ttoine> walidvb, to use the ffado driver, you have to start jackd
[11:47] <ttoine> install qjackctl
[11:47] <ttoine> and choose freebob or firewire in the driver section of the setup windows
[11:49] <ttoine> it is not possible to use firewire sound cards with pulseaudio
[12:01] <walidvb> ttoine: i was with adi on #ffado right now
[12:02] <walidvb> we went a long way, but it's still not working :(
[12:02] <walidvb> firewire doesn't show up in the connect list
[12:05] <ttoine> you are usung Hardy ?
[12:05] <walidvb> don't know Hardy
[12:05] <walidvb> (sry not so familiar with ubuntu or linux)
[12:05] <walidvb> i use jack to "stream" to a custom app, scenic
[12:09] <walidvb> brb
[12:10] <ttoine> but wich version of Ubuntu are you using ?
[12:12] <ttoine> walidvb, please, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation
[12:12] <ttoine> it is updated for a recent version of Ubuntu
[12:12] <ttoine> maybe you can try to download the current beta2 version of Precise
[12:13] <ttoine> I am sorry, I don't have firewire sound card at home at the moment, but I used too and it worked very well
[12:19] <walidvb_> ttoine: still here?
[12:21] <walidvb_> ttoine: no i'm on lucid
[12:33] <ttoine> walidvb_, ok that's not the good version for firewire
[12:33] <ttoine> walidvb_, you should go there
[12:34] <ttoine> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/precise/beta-2/
[12:34] <ttoine> download the 32bit (i386) version
[12:34] <ttoine> it should work
[13:01] <walidvb_> but my cpu is 64bit...
[13:01] <walidvb_> and if i run jackd -d firewire -v3, it sees the input
[13:01] <walidvb_> ttoine:
[13:03] <ttoine> yes ?
[13:04] <walidvb_> well jackd -d firewire sees the input
[13:04] <walidvb_> i get the stream
[13:04] <walidvb_> problem is i need to run via qjackctl
[19:31] <mtms> hello all... is anybody out there to answer a very quick question?
[19:38] <mtms> quick question: is it possible to upgrade from a vanilla Ubuntu 11.10 to a UbuntuStudio 12.04 (beta) without re-installing everything? a link to some how-to would be appreciated too
[19:54] <holstein> mtms: you just install what you like
[19:55] <holstein> personally, you will save time backing up and reinstalling
[19:55] <holstein> you would upgrade to ubuntu 12.04
[19:55] <holstein> then, search for "ubuntustudio" in the package manger of your chioce and install what you like :)
[19:55] <holstein> you dont *need* to convert
[19:55] <holstein> you just install the pacakges you want to use and use them
[19:56] <holstein> either the big metapacakges like ubuntustudio-audio, or just the apps you want, like JACK and ardour for example
[19:58] <mtms> ty holstein, I'll experiment a bit on my "test" machine :)
