[08:20] <omglinuxbeetz> yayyyy
[08:21] <omglinuxbeetz> my mini portable open source dream has finally come true
[08:23] <omglinuxbeetz> open source daw i mean hehe
[12:13] <raven> hi
[12:13] <raven> i am using gladish/jack and ardour. how to rename and map the midi and audio channels to useful names?
[12:44] <holstein> raven: ?
[12:44] <holstein> raven: in JACK?
[12:44] <holstein> i wouldnt... but thats going to be complex
[12:45] <holstein> i would probably try asking that in the jack channel, or on the jack mailing list
[13:47] <MaynardWaters> raven: would love to see a posting somewhere once you figure that out
[13:47] <MaynardWaters> http://www.akaipro.com/apc40
[13:48] <MaynardWaters> any opinions/ experience from anyone using this device with ubuntustudio?
[13:49] <holstein> it should just work as a control surface for linux
[13:49] <holstein> i would go with that beringer one that was quite cheap
[13:49] <raven> ?
[13:49] <holstein> you'd have to ask in #opensourcemusicians
[13:49] <holstein> raven: when you figure out how to rename the entries, MaynardWaters is interested in how
[13:51] <holstein> MaynardWaters: not a bad price for what all that does
[13:51] <holstein> personally, i would try it, and save the reciepts
[13:51] <holstein> it should just work, but nothing anyone would say would convince me
[13:52] <MaynardWaters> holstein: can you provide link for the beringer one you mentioned
[13:52] <holstein> MaynardWaters: nope
[13:52] <holstein> im trying to get someone to remind me what it is
[13:53] <holstein> i bet it was http://www.behringer.com/de/Products/BCF2000.aspx though
[13:53] <MaynardWaters> holstein: what I would really like is something that combines that combines the knobs and buttons of that akai with the presonus inputs that are well support in ubuntustudio
[18:30] <grantsmith> does ubuntu studio use the PREEMPT-patched realtime kernel ?
[18:50] <ailo> grantsmith: It's not patched. It's just preempt
[18:50] <ailo> grantsmith: I think you'll find it's about as good as a realtime kernel, if not better at times
[18:50] <grantsmith> so it's just a stock kernel ?
[18:50] <ailo> It's a reconfigured -generic
[18:50] <grantsmith> ok cool, thanks
[18:51] <ailo> Much of the realtime patch is nowadays part of the vanilla source
[18:51] <ailo> So, a more aggressive config is all you need to get good performance
[18:51] <grantsmith> i think i'm going to end up recompiling and stripping out everything i dont need
[18:52] <grantsmith> trying to get my latency under 10ms
[18:53] <ailo> grantsmith: You should be able to get that right now
[18:53] <ailo> Although, I do think older kernels were a bit faster
[18:54] <grantsmith> yes i suspect thats a true statement.. i used kxstudio with 2.6 a while back and got 4.7 ms
[18:54] <grantsmith> with the same hardware
[18:55] <ailo> 2.6.39 is the first kernel to include the possibility of using the rtirq script, using the "threadirqs" boot parameter
[18:55] <ailo> I'd say 2.6.37-39 were all good kernel
[18:55] <ailo> kernels*
[18:56] <ailo> grantsmith: I added a howto how to build one here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BuildOldLowlatency
[18:56] <ailo> But I guess you wouldn't need that
[18:57] <grantsmith> thats actually helpful, thanks. Even though ive been building kernels since the 90s, anything sound related always baffles me
[20:28] <MaynardWaters> ailo: thanks this is a great link
