| acmeinc2 | what program would you consider is closest in relation to somethign like Reason? hydrogen? I primarily work in Ardour, but I'm working on a new project which relies on samples, midi keys, and synth drums. Ideas appreciated.... | 05:47 |
|---|---|---|
| ailo | acmeinc2: Hydrogen is ok for drums. I use it mainly as a drum machine. | 05:53 |
| ailo | I would try using qtractor as the core sequencer | 05:54 |
| ailo | You can always sync several sequencers too | 05:54 |
| acmeinc2 | cool yea, thats what im noticing...im just having a hard time finding a good medium to import samples into... | 05:54 |
| ailo | acmeinc2: Did you try specimen? | 05:55 |
| acmeinc2 | qsynth has worked well for midi keys | 05:55 |
| acmeinc2 | na trying now | 05:55 |
| ailo | I've never tried it actually. I have worked with linux-sampler a bit though | 05:55 |
| ailo | linux-sampler has a license issue, why it's not included in the main repo | 05:55 |
| acmeinc2 | apt-get'n that now | 05:56 |
| ailo | You can get it with one of the kxstudio PPA's | 05:56 |
| acmeinc2 | bah...not there..ok | 05:56 |
| ailo | linux-sampler is nice, but I find that qsampler, which is a front-end for it, often crashes | 05:58 |
| acmeinc2 | ok, so i'm seeing in specimen i'll have to cut up the sample first...so ardour then first...at least thats my first though | 05:59 |
| acmeinc2 | thought | 05:59 |
| ailo | acmeinc2: I use audacity for editing samples. Just find it the easiest for that | 06:06 |
| ailo | Things to consider are quick fade-in and fade-out | 06:06 |
| ailo | Also, level | 06:06 |
| ailo | Audacity has built-in processing for a lot of things you want when you edit samples | 06:07 |
| ailo | like pitch-shifting, etc | 06:07 |
| ailo | The first thing you want to do is make sure the audio file that is to become a sample will begin with level 0, and end with level 0. This is why it's good to use fade-in and fade-out. I usually do a 1-2ms fade-in at the beginning | 06:08 |
| ailo | If it doesn't start at 0, you might get a click noise | 06:09 |
| ailo | Maybe you already know this.. | 06:09 |
| acmeinc2 | cool, yea i always kinda bypass audacity in my head, youre right though, that would be perfect | 06:09 |
| acmeinc2 | much simpler for a single track cut...yea, i think i have a good direction...thanks again ailo | 06:10 |
| ailo | Wow, there's a great game in the repo now. 0ad | 06:11 |
| ailo | A sort of Age of Empires game | 06:12 |
| ailo | The same people who did the Age of Kings mod it seems | 06:12 |
| `wookie | anyone around? | 11:20 |
| eein_ | len-dt, i've been thinking about this m-audio 1010lt setup and even if i make a custom asoundrc i believe i will have the same problem of ardour mapping a track number to the first connection. say for instance i want to record vocals from the 1 or 2 input XLR, now those would be mapped to tracks 9&10 in ardour so i would need to records 8 empty tracks with it | 13:12 |
| eein_ | im hoping that maybe i just dont understand how this works as this seems an odd behavior to map a track to a connection | 13:13 |
| len-dt | eein_, you would have two audio devices. The real one and the fake one. | 14:56 |
| len-dt | eein_, You would use the fake one for audacity capture with pulseaudio probably | 14:57 |
| len-dt | eein_, you would use the real one with jackd for ardour or if you wanted to use your XLRs | 14:57 |
| ninjah | greetings | 15:16 |
| len-dt | ninjah, hello | 15:17 |
| ninjah | len-dt, how are you? | 15:17 |
| len-dt | Ok, just waking up.. | 15:17 |
| ninjah | i was wondering | 15:17 |
| ninjah | since i cannot install windows - how to run win7 programs in vine? | 15:18 |
| ninjah | is this off topic? | 15:18 |
| ninjah | cuz now, i am running ubuntu studio and need several programs that linux doesnt have | 15:19 |
| ninjah | which is by the way the best ubuntu i installed | 15:19 |
| len-dt | I am glad you like it. | 15:19 |
| ninjah | so a big thanks to the developers | 15:19 |
| len-dt | I did install wine, but don't have a store of windows programs to run. | 15:20 |
| ninjah | and if you need an extra hand at skins, icons... graphic wise i'm more than excited to help - and translationwise - into ex-yu languages | 15:20 |
| len-dt | They all cost some pennies, and since I started playing with computers I have not used MS software... though I did use OS/2 for a bit which had some MS dve help. | 15:21 |
| len-dt | We are always looking for help | 15:22 |
| len-dt | I think we have (had) french input (besides english) but that is about it. | 15:22 |
| len-dt | I can certainly think of some icons that need help too. The one for the photography menu stands out. (I made that one) | 15:24 |
| xubuntu308_ | hi all | 17:01 |
| xubuntu308_ | I have recently changed my motherboard and have no sound since | 17:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu308_: i would try some live CD's and make sure the hardware works | 17:02 |
| xubuntu308_ | good idea | 17:02 |
| xubuntu308_ | :) | 17:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu308_: if its onboard sound and you are planning on doing audio production, you might consider a USB device that will be more easily supported and more appropriate | 17:03 |
| holstein | you can try messing with kernel version and alsa versions | 17:03 |
| xubuntu308_ | I am not plannig audio prod | 17:03 |
| xubuntu308_ | but one guy from #xubuntu | 17:03 |
| holstein | you should look in the bios and see that the device is on | 17:03 |
| xubuntu308_ | told me to go here | 17:03 |
| holstein | you are welcome here, but when you come back later and this channel is dead, try #ubuntu | 17:04 |
| xubuntu308_ | I am cuurently tryiing the AlsaUpgradeScipt | 17:04 |
| holstein | this is what to do though.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting/ | 17:04 |
| xubuntu308_ | yes | 17:04 |
| holstein | i would try live CD's first, unless you are sure about how to undo the alsa upgrade | 17:04 |
| xubuntu308_ | I followed these instructions | 17:04 |
| holstein | i would run in a terminal | 17:05 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 17:05 |
| holstein | and/or arecord -l | 17:05 |
| holstein | if you see a device listed, then you know the kernel is picking in up | 17:05 |
| holstein | you can look in alsamixer in the terminal, and *trust no labels* | 17:05 |
| xubuntu308_ | aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found | 17:06 |
| holstein | literally tweak each setting | 17:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu308_: OK.. so thats going to mean the device is not on, not working, or the kernel is not picking it up | 17:06 |
| xubuntu308_ | tbh I am fighting with this for several hours | 17:06 |
| xubuntu308_ | and at one time I managed to get it recognized | 17:07 |
| holstein | sure, but unless you know how? its not helpful | 17:07 |
| xubuntu308_ | :) | 17:07 |
| holstein | also if the hardware is bad, i would expect to see it coming an going | 17:07 |
| holstein | and* | 17:07 |
| holstein | i would do whatever makes you feel comfortable to determine the hardware is good | 17:08 |
| holstein | live CD's are typically how i do that | 17:08 |
| xubuntu308_ | ok | 17:08 |
| xubuntu308_ | this is a very good idea | 17:08 |
| holstein | then, you can move on to alsa rev's or whatever | 17:08 |
| xubuntu308_ | I will try to find a live cd I may have one somewhere | 17:08 |
| xubuntu308_ | maybe I'll be back :) | 17:09 |
| xubuntu308_ | thanks for your help | 17:09 |
| holstein | you are welcome here anytime | 17:11 |
| holstein | however, its usually dead, and your issue is not studio related | 17:11 |
| holstein | we deal more with creating content... not that you wont get help here, or #opensourcemusicians if you are "at the right place at the right time" | 17:11 |
| holstein | good luck xubuntu308_ ! | 17:12 |

| devtekbeta | are there any other networks with big channels for music production? cant find much on freenode | 18:35 |
| GridCube | devtekbeta, http://searchirc.com/search.php?F=partial&I=music+production&T=both&N=all&M=min&C=15&PER=15&D=color&Submit=+Go+ | 18:41 |
| astraljava | devtekbeta: Don't know your definition of 'production', but a very good channel for music people is #opensourcemusicians. | 18:41 |
| devtekbeta | thanks. i tried that irc search site earlier but the interface was so terrible i couldnt find anything | 18:44 |
| devtekbeta | what network is #opensourcemusicians on? | 18:44 |
| ailo_ | devtekbeta: Same as this | 18:44 |
| ailo_ | devtekbeta: There are a few on this network that might interest you #ardour #jack, and a few others, depending on what you like to do | 18:45 |
| ailo_ | devtekbeta: A very short list at the bottom https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/IRC | 18:45 |
| devtekbeta | thanks. didnt see opensourcemusicians when i looked before. but found it now :) | 18:46 |
