[01:19] <emiliocortes75> hello everybody...
[01:23] <emiliocortes75> i just got ubuntu... i m coming form ubuntu 11 and never knew about studio...  since im musician and writer I hope to learn well... can recomend a studio tutorials site?
[07:25] <layan> why in the spanish room not have a peaple? xD
[07:25] <layan> my english is bad
[07:26] <layan> my question
[07:26] <ailo_> Hello layan
[07:26] <layan> i need a distro with capacy for edit sound
[07:26] <layan> and i think in ubuntustudio
[07:27] <layan> who support have ubuntustudio?
[07:27] <layan> sorry my english xDC
[07:27] <layan> xD
[07:28] <ailo_> Well, Ubuntu Studio is specially meant for audio/graphics/video.
[07:28] <ailo_> It is the same as Ubuntu, but adjusted for multimedia
[07:28] <ailo_> So, you will find all the same packages(programs) in the Ubuntu repository
[07:30] <ailo_> layan: The latest release, 12.04 LTS. You can try without installing. It's a live CD http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/precise/release/
[07:31] <ailo_> layan: You can make a bootable usb stick with unetbootin, if you like.
[07:34] <layan> I use "Yumy software" for make a booable usb
[07:35] <layan> Who desktop use UbuntuStudio? unity? kde? gnome-shell?
[07:35] <ailo_> XFCE
[07:36] <layan> can i use in ubuntustudio a microphone by usb?
[07:37] <ailo_> layan: I guess it depends on the microphone. My advice is, try the live cd. If it doesn't work, come back and explain what you are trying to do
[07:37] <ailo_> Maybe we can help
[07:38] <layan> ok, thanks :)
[07:38] <ailo_> layan: Ubuntu Studio does not have special support for devices, so it should be the same on all new Ubuntu versions
[15:17] <tehowe> Is this in a usable state yet for Precise? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation
[15:18] <tehowe> I've a vanilla 64-bit 12.04 install and am eager to try it, get the right kernel and softsynths, JACk etc working but can't screw up this system either :D
[15:52] <holstein> tehowe: there is no "right" kernel
[15:52] <holstein> ubuntustudio is shipping with a lowlatency kernel
[15:52] <holstein> you can try the generic one you have, and move on as you need
[15:53] <holstein> you can open the package manager of your choice and search ubuntustudio.. you will find the metapackages if you choose to use them
[15:53] <holstein> you can install those, and "convert" to ubuntustudio, or just install what you want/need
[15:53] <tehowe> I see... I guess I'd want to get the lowlatency in, ideally, but it is a hexcore system so maybe latency wouldn't be an issue
[15:53] <holstein> tehowe: dont "guess"
[15:53] <holstein> try the generic
[15:53] <holstein> then go to lowlatency
[15:53] <holstein> then, you can try realtime from PPA if needed
[15:54] <holstein> tehowe: its not so much about the hardware or the system, its about what your needs are
[15:54] <tehowe> I was just wondering if those instructions for putting the audio architecture of Ubuntu Studio into my regular Ubuntu installation are, umm, stable release (or at least RC equivalent)
[15:54] <holstein> if you are doing realtime synthesis, or realtime effects then you need lowlatency.. otherwise, you really dont
[15:54] <holstein> tehowe: right, you dont *need* to do that
[15:55] <holstein> tehowe: you can just install what you want/need
[15:55] <holstein> you can install JACK and whatever software you want
[15:55] <holstein> OR, you can open the package manger of your choice, and search ubuntustudio, and read about the metapackages available that will change your current installation quite a bit
[15:56] <holstein> tehowe: there is no "audio architecture"
[15:56] <holstein> ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu
[15:56] <holstein> same repos
[15:56] <holstein> you can installl the lowlatency kernel right now if you want it
[15:57] <holstein> tehowe: the 12.04 releases of all the ubuntu variants are stable and long term support versions
[15:57] <holstein> tehowe: the ubuntustudio iso is live now, so you can test out whatever you might want to use from the ubuntustudio metapackages, or just test a lot of the audio/video software available
[16:05] <tehowe> My DNS is rubbish these days sorry
[16:05] <holstein> tehowe: no worries... that page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation looks current
[16:05] <holstein> describes most of what i was going on about
[16:05] <holstein> tehowe: i say, take it slow, and decide what you need
[16:06] <holstein> ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, but its quite different in everyway, and mostly overkill for most needs
[16:18] <tehowe> Hmmmn well I've added pulseaudio-module-jack and qjackctl but unfortunately jack won't start - can't find hw:0 and won't allocate memory (I turned RT off)
[16:18] <holstein> doesnt matter if you turn it off anymore
[16:19] <holstein> i would just trouble shoot JACK, separate from the pulseaudio module
[16:19] <holstein> did JACK start before that?
[16:19] <holstein> have you *ever* seen JACK running on that hardware?
[16:19] <holstein> is pulse working normally?
[16:19] <tehowe> 1) On Maverick 2) Yes
[16:20] <holstein> i would troubleshoot as root
[16:20] <holstein> gksudo qjackctl
[16:20] <holstein> if jack starts as root, you can look at common permissions erros
[16:20] <holstein> errors*
[16:20] <holstein> user in the audio group... etc
[16:21] <holstein> looks to me like, JACK cant find hw:0
[16:21] <holstein> makes me think you dont have JACK configured to use the hardware you have
[16:22] <tehowe> Yes, exactly... so my best reference would be jackaudio.org I'm guessing
[16:23] <holstein> tehowe: i usually just use the dropdown menu to try all the options
[16:23] <holstein> there should only be a few
[16:23] <holstein> maybe theres 6.. i still think its quicker than searching around
[16:24] <holstein> when you get it starting as root, then you can move on knowing you have it configured properly
[16:24] <holstein> those names can "jump"
[16:24] <holstein> if you have a USB device, and an internal for example.. one can be hw:0, and you reboot, and its hw:1
[16:24] <holstein> i usually suggest trying to disable internal cards in the bios when possible
[16:25] <holstein> i also just go ahead and try all the combinations.. no one can really help you specifically unless you find someone with the exact same hardware/software case that has shared information
[16:25] <holstein> OR, the vendor would like to share information with the alsa team
[16:26] <tehowe> Oh well that was easy - just had to point the output and input to my Audigy, I guess it wasn't pulling that in from pulse server somehow
[16:26] <tehowe> 'default'
[16:27] <tehowe> Now I have to find something to make a sound through jack... err yoshimi maybe
[16:27] <holstein> sure
[16:28] <holstein> you likely dont need JACK anyway with that hardware
[16:29] <tehowe> What's the virtual keyboard package called
[16:29] <holstein> theres one in the menu in yoshimi
[16:30] <holstein> i would just search the package manager of your choice for"virtual midi keyboard"
[16:30] <holstein> i dont recall, but i think one is vkbd
[16:33] <tehowe> *Searches for Yoshimi default bank*
[16:39] <tehowe> I've gotten a really laggy sound using amsynth... so it looks like I'm on my way, just ahve to hack on it more as time permits. Thanks for your help today
[16:40] <holstein> sure
[16:40] <holstein> enjoy!
[21:58] <plotino> hi everybody
[21:58] <plotino> i have a big issue with ubuntu studio
[21:59] <plotino> yesterday i have update to 10.10
[21:59] <plotino> today i was checking the jack
[21:59] <plotino> and also recording with rosegarden
[21:59] <plotino> but
[22:00] <plotino> when i launch audacity to mixdown and record the output of rosegarden
[22:00] <plotino> the soundblaster starts to emit a tedious single tone
[22:00] <plotino> from the speaker
[22:00] <plotino> no more sound
[22:00] <plotino> only this continous tone
[22:00] <plotino> i have restarted  the PC and also power off
[22:01] <plotino> but when ubuntu is loaded the tone started to sound
[22:01] <plotino> i have also boot with xp and the soundblaster works fine in that case
[22:01] <plotino> when i come back to ubuntu studio
[22:01] <plotino> the noise come back as well
[22:03] <xniw> hey
[22:04] <plotino> no idea About?
[22:05] <xniw> sorry no
[22:05] <plotino> m
[22:06] <xniw> have any of you installed guitar pro6 for linux ?
[22:31] <len-dt> plotino, have you tried using one of the multimedia apps like the movies player or the mp3 player?
[22:31] <len-dt> With jack off.
