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