[12:42] <myrddinemrys765> ello everyone, I would like to ask you a question, if that is the right place.  I've just done a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 on my iMac, and everything works as it should, except for the audio, that does not work well. If I play audio files without connecting my hi-fi system, the volume is good, loud; but if I connect the stereo, it is incredibly low, and I have to push it to the top to even hear music.
[12:43] <myrddinemrys765> I use gnome3, and the mixer is set to the maximum; alsamixer is set to the max too.  it would seem to be a problem of the hi-fi system, but it works fine and play audio loud from my laptop. The hifi is connected to my computer (an iMac, I repeat) via the "headphones" hole, with a 3.5mm cable. This problem is present even if I boot from the livecd and i play audio from it.
[12:43] <myrddinemrys765> Please give me some advices about that, and sorry for my not very good english :)
[12:47] <mbeierl> Has anyone had problems with qtractor and large files?  I recorded approximately 3 hours of audio in one shot and while the file on the disk is fine, when I attempt to play it back, it only shows the audio peaks for about the first 20 minutes and at that point both the peaks and audio playback act as if there is no audio.
[14:02] <holstein> mbeierl: try the file in a differnt player
[14:03] <holstein> mbeierl: try importing it into ardour for example.. try opening it in VLC or something like a converter
[14:03] <holstein> mbeierl: i know i have had issues with larger files and lower spec hardware
[16:03] <mbeierl> holstein, to be clear, it is not the file that is the issue.  it's qtractor itself.  Just wondering if it's a known limitation or if there's a workaround (other than splitting the file and importing the individual chunks)
[16:33] <MaynardWaters> I am going to give a presentation on how to use ubuntu studio on friday, does anyone have any suggestions for content of youtube videos where people have done really awesome things with US
[16:59] <holstein> mbeierl: so, the file works fine in ardour?
[16:59] <holstein> MaynardWaters: i just showed JACK in action pretty much when i did it at my LUG
[17:00] <holstein> MaynardWaters: http://www.wnclug.info/2011/05/holstein-linux-audio.html
[17:01] <mbeierl> holstein, actually... I just noticed there is a glitch in it that makes it appear to end at 17m13s...  If I split around that, it's better
[17:01] <holstein> yup.. that was my solution with a simlar sized file in ardour
[17:01] <holstein> i split the project up
[17:02] <mbeierl> holstein, I must have had some sort of xrun at that moment in the capture.
[17:02] <mbeierl> actually that was the reason I switched to studio - the low latency kernel, but apparently even that's not good enough on this hardware.
[17:03] <holstein> mbeierl: maybe... exportinty it and testing as i suggested ealier should "sterilize" that from the file
[17:03] <holstein> exporting*
[17:03] <holstein> mbeierl: the lowlatency kernel is in the repos
[17:03] <holstein> you can use it with any of the *buntu's
[17:04] <holstein> likely, the best increase in performance and quality will be, if you are using an internal audio interface, upgrading to something more appropriate for audio creation
[17:04] <mbeierl> ah!
[17:04] <holstein> ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu
[17:04] <holstein> just as xubuntu *is* ubuntu
[17:04] <mbeierl> yes, I am using the built-in line in interface, capturing off an aviom
[17:05] <mbeierl> yes, but I could not find a low latency kernel for the 11.10 stock that I was running
[17:05] <holstein> mbeierl: theres a PPA
[17:05] <holstein> https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+ppa-packages is what i would refernce
[17:05] <holstein> however, that is not the issue
[17:06] <holstein> for me, if i had an internal card, i would just relax the JACK settings
[17:06] <holstein> you dont *need* lowlateny to do what you are doing
[17:06] <mbeierl> do tell.  I'm getting too many underruns
[17:06] <holstein> mbeierl: relax the JACK settings
[17:06] <mbeierl> sorry - new to jack.  how do I do that?
[17:07] <holstein> mbeierl: in the jack settings, raise the frames/period and the periods/buffer
[17:07] <holstein> experiment
[17:08] <holstein> id say start with 1024 frames/period and 2 or 3 periods/buffer
[17:09] <mbeierl> sorry - how do I get to the jack settings?
[17:09] <holstein> MaynardWaters: you might also demo the new live CD
[17:09] <holstein> mbeierl: in the qjackctl GUI window, theres a button labeled "setup"
[17:10] <mbeierl> qjackqtl - thanks!
[17:10] <holstein> you want to have JACK *not* running, then tweak.. start... test.. stop... tweak, start, test... so on
[17:10] <holstein> the only person/company that could help you with this setting wont, so you just have to test
[17:11] <mbeierl> got it.  thanks very much for the help.  I was wondering where this stuff was kept!
[17:12] <holstein> unless you actually find someone with that exact hardware using JACK
[17:12] <holstein> that can be handy
[17:12] <holstein> check out #opensourcemusicians if its slow here and you need help tweaking :)
[17:13] <mbeierl> yep. sitting in #opensource already.
[17:15] <mbeierl> holstein, wow!  just a slight increase made a huge difference in the playback when going through effects and jamin.  Thanks again!
[17:16] <holstein> mbeierl: enjoy!
[18:28] <rodriguezcheri> can someone help me? I have a problem with the audio in my web browser
[18:29] <rodriguezcheri> the audio doesn't work when look at videos
[19:07] <plotino> hi
[19:39] <andersj> hi
[19:39] <andersj> i'm having trouble getting my edirol fa-101 working
[19:40] <andersj> i had it working .. but i had to reinstall on another media and after that i cant seem to get the soundcard working
[19:41] <andersj> i get this errormessage
[19:41] <andersj> http://pastebin.com/fq9jqiQ6
[19:43] <andersj> pleas someone help me
[19:43] <nutate> what's the issue?
[19:45] <andersj> http://pastebin.com/fq9jqiQ6
[19:45] <andersj> errormessage when trying to start jackd
[19:46] <nutate> yeesh, what's your hardware?
[19:47] <andersj> um.. all of it?
[19:48] <nutate> no your firewire interface
[19:48] <andersj> my soundcard you mean? edirol FA-101
[19:48] <andersj> or do you mean my internal firewireport?
[19:49] <andersj> the funny thing is that i had this working before
[19:49] <nutate> no
[19:49] <nutate> all i see is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398551
[19:49] <nutate> i have a presonus firebox, but I'm not using it right now
[19:50] <andersj> i dont have ubuntustudio-controls
[19:51] <andersj> dont seem to anyway
[19:54] <andersj> i get the same errormessage when trying any settings with the firewire driver
[19:55] <nutate> hmm
[19:55] <nutate> yea i really have no idea ... sorry :-/
[19:56] <nutate> does it work with jack + alsa?
[19:59] <andersj> huh?
[19:59] <andersj> what do you mean?
[20:00] <andersj> does what work with jack + alsa?
[20:00] <andersj> i'm a total noob at this
[20:01] <andersj> i've run some linux and know my way around editors an such.. but configuring firewire audio...
[20:03] <andersj> the most irritating thing about this is that this card has worked..
[20:03] <andersj> but i had to reinstall and forgot the settings.
[20:04] <andersj> i have updated the bios since then
[20:04] <andersj> and i really hope that its not because of that
[20:05] <MaynardWaters> holstein: I am getting very comfortable with install, but I plan on telling everyone that they could use a live cd, bc i am sure some of the old people are going to be like "what is a live cd?"
[20:05] <nutate> ah
[20:05] <andersj> what?
[20:05] <nutate> andersj, you should be able to run jack with an alsa backend and see if it will work with your internal soundcard
[20:05] <andersj> it does
[20:05] <nutate> to see if you are having trouble with real time jack or something
[20:06] <andersj> if i use the internal soundcard it works nice
[20:06] <andersj> ahh..
[20:06] <andersj> i unchecked realtime and it worked
[20:07] <andersj> but that seems wrong
[20:07] <nutate> andersj, also it could be the raw1394 mod
[20:07] <nutate> ah
[20:07] <nutate> well ya
[20:07] <nutate> sure
[20:07] <nutate> not what you want.
[20:07] <nutate> chances are your user isn't in the real time group or something
[20:07] <nutate> can root run it realtime?
[20:07] <andersj> i got this aswell
[20:07] <andersj> Tue May 15 22:06:37 2012: [1m[31mERROR: JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 2[0m
[20:07] <andersj> Tue May 15 22:06:37 2012: [1m[31mERROR: JackAudioDriver::ProcessGraphAsyncMaster: Process error[0m
[20:08] <nutate> well that's more likely from it being not realtime
[20:08] <nutate> but ... i'm not sure
[20:08] <nutate> back in a sec
[20:10] <andersj> brb.. i'm gonna try a thing
[20:15] <nutate> ya
[20:15] <andersj> damn
[20:16] <andersj> i added myself to a group called rtkit
[20:16] <andersj> hopng that it would have something to do with realtime
[20:16] <andersj> no i'm getting another error
[20:16] <andersj> ue May 15 22:15:42 2012: [1m[31mERROR: firewire ERR: Could not start streaming threads[0m
[20:18] <andersj> ok.. will reboot.. see ya in a biit
[20:21] <andersj> hi gglitch
[20:21] <andersj> you any good with realtime  and firewire?
[20:36] <gglitch> andersj: Sorry, no; I have never tried to use either a realtime kernel or any firewire peripherals. Having trouble?
[20:37] <andersj> yup.. if i try to run my edirol fa-101 with realtime in jackd is doesn work
[20:37] <andersj> i i get alot of xrun errors
[20:38] <andersj> i guess i'll have to try some forums
[20:39] <andersj> worst case i guess is to get a expresscard firewire instead of the internal
[20:39] <andersj> i've read that some ppl have had problems with them
[20:39] <nutate> also try #kxstudio
[20:55] <MaynardWaters> in a room full of acousticians I am planning on showing off ubuntu studio, I feel like my presenation will be pretty impressive if I can get jack ardour and 3 other programs linked and playing nicely together, any suggestions on the 3 other programs, im thinking hydrogen, a synth and ....maybe a sampler
[20:56] <MaynardWaters> I again welcome comentary and suggestions
[20:57] <andersj> that sounds like fun
[20:57] <MaynardWaters> help me make it more fun andersj
[20:58] <andersj> im sorry dude.. this is my first day with ubuntustudio and my soundcard
[20:58] <andersj> i really dont know how to make it more fun
[20:59] <andersj> brb..
[21:47] <andersj> hi.. anyone here?
[21:58] <vidkid> hello ive been trying to get some help with cinerella
[21:59] <vidkid> but if anyone does video editing i believe its a general question
[21:59] <vidkid> can anyone help in this subject??
[22:01] <vidkid> well ill keep this open for a bit....
[22:03] <vidkid> if anyone can advise on resizing....since my clips are already at 1080p
[22:56] <holstein> vidkid: what subject?
[22:56] <holstein> maybe try the specific channels for the apps
[22:56] <vidkid> hi
[22:56] <vidkid> i tried cinelerra but no answ
[22:56] <vidkid> i think its general to video editing
[22:56] <holstein> yeah, you might have to wait
[22:56] <holstein> has it been 24hours?
[22:57] <holstein> i'll just suggest trying on of the more supported apps
[22:57] <holstein> openshot.. kdenlive
[22:57] <vidkid> i just want to have my subject in front of a green screen smaller without re-encoding again...
[22:57] <holstein> more developed... arguably
[22:57] <vidkid> i tried maybe i can just stay on kdenlive
[22:58] <vidkid> its similar enough...
[22:58] <holstein> vidkid: Scott, who is not here now did that with openshot
[22:58] <vidkid> but no one seemed to be around
[22:58] <vidkid> in cinelerra i know for some people in europe its already quite late
[22:59] <vidkid> and in the meantime i keep reading up on the docs but im green at all this!
[23:01] <vidkid> in the end ill just have to wing it cause i have to keep working on it....but if you dont hear anything ill switch back to another chat in a bit....thnks!
[23:01] <holstein> vidkid: good luck
[23:02] <vidkid> btw re: ubuntu studio  is cinelerra in the repos?
[23:02] <vidkid> 12.04
[23:03] <vidkid> will be installing it soon...
[23:03] <vidkid> oh yes its in ppa for 12.04
[23:04] <vidkid> ok have a good one (day, eve?)
