mighty_abobalen-dt, hi01:47
mighty_abobaI did what you sad01:47
mighty_abobaNow if the jackd stops with errors I'm killing jackdbus and on new launch of qjackctl01:49
mighty_abobaAll ok01:49
mighty_abobaJackd starts well01:49
Len-nbmighty_aboba, Glad it works now.01:50
mighty_abobathanks for advices)01:50
mighty_abobamaybe01:51
mighty_abobasomehow01:51
Len-nbI'm just learning so much... myself.01:51
mighty_abobacould I to do some script?01:53
mighty_abobaor in qjackctl preferences01:53
Len-nbScript to do what?01:54
mighty_abobacould I write "kill jackdbus auto" on exit scenario?01:55
mighty_abobaScript for jackdbus process killing01:55
mighty_abobaIn order to kill jackdbus process not manually01:57
Len-nbyes.... on the settings panel for qjackctl the second tab (options) there are four times a script can be run. before starting, after starting, bfore stopping and after stopping.01:58
Len-nbI use after starting to start a2jmidid for example.01:58
mighty_abobaWhat is the right command for the jackdbus killing?01:59
Len-nbjack_control exit  should work.02:00
Len-nbor if all else fails killall -9 jackdbus02:01
mighty_abobaThanks again :)02:01
Len-nblet me know how it goes.02:02
mighty_abobaOk ;)02:02
Len-nbyou may have to use the before stopping option.02:02
mighty_abobais it the third option? All captions of the menu and preferences are translated on Russian)02:06
mighty_abobaI have02:06
Len-nbShould be the third.02:06
mighty_abobaYes, jack_control exit is work02:20
mighty_abobaBut if I choose the fourth option02:21
mighty_abobaAfter exit02:21
mighty_abobaAnd02:21
mighty_abobaI have the errors when I'm stoping jack anyway02:22
mighty_abobaand the start button is locked02:24
mighty_abobaBut now02:24
mighty_abobaI can to press exit button and launch the02:26
mighty_abobalaunch the qjackctl and jackd normally02:26
mighty_abobaI think it is the working decision until the bug fix02:29
mighty_aboba)02:29
Len-nbThat is what I found when I tried it just now too.02:31
mighty_aboba:-)02:31
Len-nbI am just now figguring out how to put my netbook into "performance mode"02:32
Len-nbIt wants to run at half speed most of the time.02:33
mighty_abobaDo you have juppiter applet?02:35
mighty_abobaJupiter*02:35
mighty_abobahttps://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/jupiter02:36
mighty_abobaMaybe this can help02:38
Len-nblooking02:43
Len-nbProbably more than I need. I set cpufreq governing to performance in rc.local... just found out the process that sets it to ondemand waits 60 seconds to give the user time to log in... So I have to set my script to wait longer.02:46
Len-nbActually, I am setting up runlevel 3 to stop processes that might interfere with audio work.02:47
Len-nbThe idea is to be able to switch to a high performance mode at will.02:48
mighty_abobais somebody trying to install new xfce 4.10?14:14
stilbeneHi14:31
stilbeneDoes anyone know how to put ubuntustudio on a USB and get persistence to work?14:31
stilbeneI made a liveUSB of it and I really like it, but the casper stuff doesn't do anything14:33
holsteinstilbene: i would just install to the USB14:34
stilbenewhaddya mean?14:35
holsteini put GRUB on the USB, and choose it from the bios just like i would a live USB14:35
holsteinits persistent14:35
holsteinand its a full install on an ext partition14:35
holsteinstilbene: you get me?14:38
stilbeneum14:38
stilbeneoh14:39
holsteinjust do a normal install choosing the USB drive as the destination, putting GRUB there on the USB stick14:39
stilbeneso you actually burn a cd and install FROM that TO the USB?14:39
holsteinstilbene: you can install from whatever media you want14:39
holsteinCD.. another USB... some other hard drive14:39
holsteinthe install destination is what im discussing14:39
stilbenebut basically I run the liveCD and use the install button to install it to the USB?14:40
holsteinstilbene: you choose the USB stick as the installation destination14:40
holsteinstilbene: however you choose to do that is up to you14:41
stilbeneok14:41
holsteini would consider not having swap14:41
stilbenedo I need to use gparted on the thumbdrive before I click the install button?14:41
holsteinstilbene: if you'd like14:42
holsteinstilbene: if you want to do some tasks with gparted that you feel the installation partitioner wont handle14:42
stilbenek14:43
stilbenethanks14:43
stilbeneI'll try that14:43
toodieselhey all, i'm running xinerama on 2 monitors and if my mouse speed is fast when switching screens (right to left), the mouse is placed all the way to the left of the left screen, but if i go slow, it will act "normally"15:11
holsteintoodiesel: i dont follow15:11
holsteintoodiesel: is this 12.04?15:11
toodieselyes15:12
holsteinyou can try #xubuntu or #ubuntu if you dont get an answer here15:12
toodieselholstein: thanks, i'll try there15:13
holsteintoodiesel: feel free and elaborate here though15:13
holsteintoodiesel: i just dont know what you mean15:13
toodieselahh, ok15:13
holsteinsounds like a hardware glitch to me15:13
toodieseli'm running two monitors15:13
toodieseland when i get to the left edge of my right monitor, i want the mouse to appear on the right of the left monitor15:13
toodieselwhich it does, when i move the mouse really slow15:13
holsteintoodiesel: i would review the config you are using15:14
holsteini would try a different mousc15:14
toodieselbut if i move it with any quickness, it goes all the way to the left15:14
holsteinmouse*15:14
holsteini would load up a live CD, and try arandr15:14
holsteini would try and get the hardware out of the equation, then the config you have15:14
toodieselholstein: thanks, will try randr , i'm using the amdcccle software now for everything, had randr on previous config and was working15:15
toodieselholstein: thanks15:15
MaynardWatershey guys, I installed ubuntu studio from repos on top of a 11.04 clean install. I have jack working and I can open ardoir files which I created on another computer.  I am trying to get a) more info about installing the lowlatancy-kernel ( have used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel  which provides the ppa, but I was unable to actually install the kernel from the ppa.  any advice is welcome.   b) I 17:13
mighty_abobado you want to install realtime or lowlatency?17:15
mighty_abobaIn 12.04 lowlatency is default kernel17:15
MaynardWatersaccording to my research lowlatency is the better choice for me17:15
mighty_abobatry uname -r17:15
MaynardWatersi like 11.04 it has been much nicer to me than 1217:15
mighty_abobai think it is matter of habit :)17:16
MaynardWatersuname -r returns 2.6.38-15-generic17:17
MaynardWatersmighty_aboba: what habit?17:17
holsteinwhats wrong with the generic one?17:17
holsteini suggest trying it, and moving on if you need lower latency, which most folks dont17:17
MaynardWatersit works ok, but I am trying to get a top notch recording DAW off the ground, and that requires lowlatency17:18
holsteinMaynardWaters: it actually doesnt17:18
holsteinbut, if you need it, you need it17:18
MaynardWatersholstein: i have been trying it and it works ok, I want to try to make it work better17:18
holsteinMaynardWaters: it wont work better17:18
holsteinit will only give you lower latency17:18
holsteinand that is either something you need or not17:19
holsteinotherwise, its a waste of time17:19
MaynardWatersholstein: you have experience with the these kernels?  are they all THAT buggy?17:19
holsteinMaynardWaters: i didnt say buggy17:19
holsteini said waste of time17:19
MaynardWatersyou just dont see enough improvement to warrent the effort then?17:19
holsteinMaynardWaters: depends on the purpose17:19
mighty_abobaMaynardWaters: what is you native language?17:20
holsteinif its a live midi synth rig, or a live effects processiong rig, then you need low latency17:20
holsteinotherwise, who cares what the latency is17:20
holsteini use different profiles with JACK to have either 1.2ms latency, or sometimes 80+ms17:20
MaynardWatersI would like to eventually have 8+ channels recording at the same time with pthe possibility of additional effects getting through into the mix17:20
holsteini almost always have the 80+ profile in use17:21
MaynardWatersholstein:  yes I want it to be a live play toy17:21
holsteinMaynardWaters: then you need it17:21
holsteinMaynardWaters: but you'll need around 10ms17:21
MaynardWatersok, now that I have shown that I need it will you help me with it?17:21
holsteinMaynardWaters: i think its unrealistic to do software effects like that17:22
MaynardWatersholstein: can I ask we try to tackle the simpler problem first17:22
holsteinMaynardWaters: most studio's dont use the software to monitor like that17:22
holsteini hate it17:22
holsteinMaynardWaters: i dont see any problems.. but whats up?17:22
holsteini think monitoring with the software like that is a bad idea17:23
holsteinand its more about the gear than the software17:23
holsteinlinux/JACK/ardour is *not* magic17:23
MaynardWaterswell my primary problem is ladspa17:23
holsteini think you would have a good change using linux to get that going on, but its just not practical17:23
holsteinnor is it neccessary17:23
MaynardWatersa good cahnge  using linux?17:24
holsteinchance*17:24
holsteinmore so than with other OS's potentially/arguably17:24
MaynardWatersok, so lets focus on ladspa17:24
MaynardWaterssynaptic package manager shows it to be installed17:25
MaynardWatersso I create a new bus in ardour, and I want to add some effects, but when i right click and look for the effects, it is empty17:26
holsteinMaynardWaters: i would try the 12.04 version live17:26
holsteinsee if all that is "just working"17:26
holsteinyou can ask in #ardour ,but the first thing will be to go and download from the ardour site the recent version and install17:27
MaynardWatersholstein: i am very happy with a number of things I have working on this 11.04 install, I want to stick with it. do you have any suggestions that can help me figure out why the effects are showing up or why swh-plugins (Steve Harris's ladspa plugins arent recognized17:27
MaynardWatersgood idea.17:28
holsteinMaynardWaters: if you just "try 12.04 live" then you might gather some helpful information17:28
holsteinyou can stay with 11.04 as long as you like past EOL which is actually not too far off :)17:28
MaynardWatersholstein: I'll consider 12+ once I have exhausted efforts on my 11.04 install17:29
holsteinMaynardWaters: you dont even need to consider it17:29
holsteinMaynardWaters: you can just literally load it up as a troubleshooting step17:30
holsteinyou can just as well try AVlinux live...17:30
holsteinyeah.. automation is not where to go... seablade will sort you out :)17:31
holsteinyou wont see automation for plugins since you havent added any yet17:31
MaynardWatersholstein: yea, it was just my miss understanding of how it worked.  but thanks for the help17:34
nutatehey yo17:44
nutate12.04 64 bit ... wineasio ... ableton ... so close, yet so far17:45
MaynardWatersholstein: are you the same from macumbista.net?17:49
MaynardWatersnutate: you are trying to get ableton working on wine?!  major props. do you have any documentation to follow?18:09
nutatemmm18:14
nutatejust ... double clicked it practically18:14
nutateproblem is I actually authorized it... before I had WineASIO working18:14
nutatebut it does work18:16
nutatejust with maybe a 500ms latency18:16
nutatemaybe less18:16
nutateand i have fglrx, with fasttls off18:16
nutateMaynardWaters, <<< sorry, didn't mention your nick, just in case you aren't afk18:18
holsteinnutate: you could try #kxstudio ...i know a few folks there were into wine18:19
holsteini personally suggest the native tools18:19
nutateuntil bitwig is out, there is nothing like ableton18:19
nutatenot to mention i own it18:19
holsteinMaynardWaters: i didnt know about macumbista :)18:20
holsteinnutate: cool! good luck.. have you check wineHQ?18:20
holsteinchecked*18:20
holsteini assume you've asked ableton for linux support officially as well18:20
nutateholstein, ya, it's close... I'm at the point where I'm 99% certain it would work on a 32 bit install18:21
holsteintheres nothing that would keep me froma 32bit install over a 6418:21
holsteinnot for audio production18:21
nutateholstein, hah, not sure if i ever asked ableton directly about it... but i may have to if i have to request another unlock code18:21
nutateholstein, so you are saying 32 bit for audio18:21
holsteinnutate: you should let them know that the product you purchased is not appropriately designed for your needs18:22
nutateholstein, well... i have like 2 macs and had a hackintosh18:22
holsteinnutate: im saying if i needed something that required 32bit, i wouldnt lose any sleep over it18:22
nutateright18:22
nutateholstein, i've been in the Linux game pre amd6418:23
holsteini would just run the software as its intended then18:23
nutatemy macs are old... :D18:23
holsteinor try learning/using native tools18:23
nutateplus it really runs fine, just the asio issue18:23
holsteinyou can ask in #kxstudio as i suggested, or #opensourcemusicians18:24
nutatei've recorded 2 songs in ardour over the past 10 years18:24
nutateabout 10 in ableton over the last 318:24
holsteini think its a question of what you want to do, and how18:24
nutatei just find there isn't anything comparable to the ableton workflow18:24
holsteinnutate: why should there be?18:24
holsteinnutate: im just saying you *can* get things done with the native tools18:25
nutateholstein, well when bitwig.com releases, then there will be a 3 platform solution18:25
holsteinpotentially18:25
holsteinits not going to be ableton though18:26
nutatehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V_t8GfH-v4&feature=plcp18:26
nutateit will arguably be better18:26
holsteinthats really the biggest problem with any/all the FOSS tools, they are not X software that one is used to18:27
nutateholstein, i ardour and protools and reaper are nearly interchangeable as daws18:27
holsteinnah18:27
nutate(and add logic)18:27
nutatecomparable to ableton and those tools they are18:28
holsteinardour stable doesnt have MIDI support18:28
nutateardour is a subset of protools18:28
holsteini personally dont need them to be "interchangeable"18:28
holsteinnutate: i dont see it that way18:28
MaynardWatersholstein, you seem to know about all the best FOSS musician irc hangouts18:29
holsteinMaynardWaters: its not my first day :)18:31
holsteinnutate: have you looked at openoctave?18:31
holsteinhttp://www.openoctave.org/18:31
MaynardWatersnutate: will bitwig be open?18:32
nutatenot until just now18:32
nutateMaynardWaters, not afaik18:33
nutateHere is a song I did in ableton: http://soundcloud.com/rseymour/back-to-back18:33
nutatesomewhere i have one i did in ardour... but ardour acts more like a tape machine (with no midi)18:34
holsteinnutate: nice18:34
holsteinnutate: ardour3 has midi18:34
holsteinnutate: with JACK, you just use what you like with ardour... rosegarden18:34
holsteini think most of the electronic guys i know dig qtractor18:35
holsteinnutate: i could make that track without a computer though18:35
holsteinnutate: i mean, im not dogging it at all.. im just questioning if you are offering it as an example of something "only ableton can do"18:35
holsteinsounds great, if not a bit overloaded18:36
holsteinhttp://pneuman.bandcamp.com/18:36
nutatelet me make it as quickly18:36
holstein^ that is my friend [lsd] 's stuff18:36
holsteinhe uses ubuntu and FOSS tools18:36
holsteinyou can find him in #opensourcemusicians18:36
holsteinyou might be interested in http://wootangent.net/category/linux/ from his stie18:37
holsteinsite*18:37
nutateall instrumental?18:37
holsteinnutate: some have vocals18:37
nutate(incidentally i made that track for the rpm challenge too)18:37
holsteincool18:37
holsteinthis was mine... http://holstein.bandcamp.com/18:37
holstein*my RPM challenge18:38
holsteini feel like you can develop chops with any software18:38
holsteinwhen i was using cubase, i had gotten a handle on the workflow18:38
nutatehttp://music.clark8.com/ < honestly not sure which one of these i did on ardour18:38
holsteinwhen i went to ardour, there was an obvious learning curve18:38
holsteini feel like with JACK and the foss tools, there is *no* comparision for what can be done18:39
holsteinthe limiations are literally my skill and my imagination18:39
holsteinits all open, so thing else can stand in the way18:39
nutatefor giggles, i went and looked up how far back i could go with playing around with linux audio: http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2003/2/26/9387618:39
nutateholstein, your skill would overwhelm anything a computer would do18:40
nutateholstein, nice playing18:40
holsteinnutate: thanks :)18:40
holsteinim just not that skilled at coding or super technical computer software issues18:41
holsteinanyways.. lots of folks in that #opensourcemusicians community doing electronic music with FOSS :)18:41
holsteinim going to go hop on my bike for a bit... thanks for sharing nutate18:42
holsteinnice music!18:42
nutateheh, thanks, likewise... i gotta get working18:42
nutatehave fun18:42
mbeierlTrying to figure out using jamin for mastering.  I use qtractor and the only way I seem to be able to use jamin is to play the tracks out from qtractor into jamin, then use the jamin out to record a new track in qtractor.  This must be done in real time.  Is there no bulk method?18:48
nutateas far as I can remember that's the only way to do it18:48
nutatein general that's how you master things tho18:49
mbeierlnutate, with dedicated hardware (I'm coming from a Boss BR-600) sure, but with software I would have thought there would be a quicker way to stream the data without having to play it.  Kinda like how you can rip audio of a CD at 32x vs. playing the audio into a capture device and recording the WAV off of that...18:51
mbeierl nutate, but thanks for the confirmation.  It'll save me time trying to do what probably is not reasonably done18:51
nutatei'm just recalling from ages ago... you could search for rendering from jamin18:54
mrfrei'm having trouble getting my usb wireless network device to connect21:54

holsteinim about to head out mrfre , but you can use #ubuntu for that21:59
