[06:56] <cccangel> hey guys... i was testing out the upgrade to 12.04 Beta 2, and just recently I have been messing around with my webcam and mic more in ubuntu rather than in windows... and it has been difficult to get a better and loud enough recording of my voice in a webcam video without my sound being all noisey...
[06:57] <cccangel> the ubuntu+1 channel refered me over here (heard about ubuntu studio but never used it)
[07:57] <astraljava> cccangel: I seem to recall alsamixer being able to boost mic volume, but I might be totally off here. Give it a shot, though.
[07:58] <cccangel> astraljava, i was trying it in ubuntu precise but it was getting really sloppy... and system settings were sliding the sliders after a few recording tests...
[07:59] <cccangel> i am also using the main ubuntu distro, not ubuntustudio... i just downloaded 11.04 to test it out.
[08:13] <astraljava> cccangel: What was sloppy? Could you explain further? And sorry for long breaks, I'm on a train.
[08:14] <cccangel> oh its okay... it was just crazy that I could not get the my voice to be more ontop of the noise...
[08:14] <cccangel> no matter how hard i tried... there was that noise factor when volume got increased.
[08:20] <astraljava> cccangel: Yeah, can't help you there. Sorry to bump you all over the place, but if no one in here knows, you could try #opensourcemusicians. Lots of great people there.
[08:21] <cccangel> im done with the audio stuff for the day... but i am going to see if the drivers/software will end up duplicating same result as the main branch of ubuntu
[08:22] <astraljava> cccangel: They come from the same repository...
[15:20] <RagnarDa> Hi guys! I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu Studio on my MacBook 2.1. The same problem arises when trying to install regular amd64 iso on regular Ubuntu. Regular Ubuntu has a "+mac" version though that works for me. It's explained here:http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image
[15:20] <RagnarDa> Is there a similar version for Ubuntu Studio? Can I make one?
[16:29] <RagnarDa> ?
[17:04] <astraljava> RagnarDa: There is none, as observed at the download page. Possibly will have one next cycle, as I might have hardware to test it actually.
[17:06] <astraljava> Probably works if you install vanilla and add our packages afterwards.
[17:27] <RagnarDa> Ok. Thanks for the reply. If i install the vanilla and add it packages afterwards, will all optimization features (and trimmed fat) com along? Should I install vanilla XUbuntu then?
[18:16] <astraljava> RagnarDa: It would save you a lot of GNOME cruft if you installed Xubuntu first, that's true.
[19:13] <RagnarDa> Ok. trying with Xubuntu. I only have 2Gb RAM, so should I stick to the 32-bit version?
[23:28] <viejotren> hi, i'm using an old ubuntu studio ver -9-04- i want to upgrade to the latest, my question is: is the best way to use apt-get dist-upgrade? or should i download the iso, then installed it from scratch?
