famelicohi00:31
famelicopeople im looking for Ubuntu Studio 9.10, the one that has the realtime kernel00:32
famelicocan you give me an still-active link in order to download it ?00:32
famelicothanks00:32
ailofamelico: Try puredyne00:39
ailoSame kernel00:39
ailobased on Ubuntu 9.1000:40
famelicothx for your response00:40
famelicoi tried00:40
famelicobut cant install to my hard disk00:40
ailoWhy is that?00:40
famelicoand the ramdisk is not the best for my older machine00:40
ailoAnd why do you need the realtime kernel?00:40
famelicoi installed it but didnt work on real time00:41
famelicoi need it for live audio tasks00:41
famelicoi play on hexter whith my midi controller00:41
ailoI don't understand. You installed puredyne, or you didn't?00:41
famelicoyes i did00:41
ailoSo, what was the problem?00:42
famelicobut didnt work (once installed on my hard disk) on real time00:42
famelicojust sucked00:42
ailofamelico: It's the exact same kernel, anyway00:42
ailofamelico: If there is a problem with realtime privilege, you should check that first00:43
famelicookok!00:43
famelicocan you give some advices in order to set it properly on ubuntu?00:43
famelicoi used to have lubuntu00:43
famelicoand once i could put the real time to work00:43
famelicobut a week ago it screwed up00:44
ailofamelico: Two things. 1. User must be in audio group 2. There needs to be a file that gives Audio group realtime privilege00:44
famelicoyes!00:44
famelicothe file is /etc/security/limits.conf00:44
famelicobut didnt work for me!00:44
famelicois there any other thing?00:45
ailoThat was the old file, can't remember if it was still used00:45
famelicooh!00:45
ailoEither /etc/security/limits.conf, or /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf00:45
ailoNot both00:45
famelicookok00:45
ailoThat's all you need. It will work after rebooting00:46
famelicoOKOK!00:46
famelicoi 'll try again!00:46
famelicothanks!00:46
ailoI found puredyne very good for older machines00:46
famelicoi ll stay conline00:46
famelicoyes yes! is very good booting it live00:47
famelicobut in live mode it takes me 256 mb ram for a virtual disk00:47
famelicoand i have not much ram00:48
BlackBassHello, quick question, as a matter of preferance, LMMS or Ardour?01:48
ailoBlackBass: Ardoud is greate for multichannel recording, mixing and mastering, while LMMS is probably more suited if you like soft synths, etc01:59
ailoBlackBass: There are also, qtractor, rosegarden, Hydrogen (great for using as a drum machine), etc01:59
BlackBassI'm moving from using FL Studio on windows to Linux, so I'm basically looking for an equivalent to that02:00
BlackBassBasically, an all around sequencer/synthesizer02:01
ailoBlackBass: Don't think you'll find something equivalent. You'll probably want to use Hydrogen for drums anyway. It has it's own tracker that you can sync with the other programs02:03
ailoBlackBass: As for the rest, just look around to find which suits you best02:03
ailoYou can always sync many sequencers using jack transport02:03
famelicohi02:51
famelicoI installed lubuntu and put the audio configuration02:51
famelicowith an rt kernel02:51
famelicoand without02:51
famelicobut i keep getting xruns02:51
ailofamelico: Does jack complain that it can't lock down memory, etc?02:52
famelicononono02:52
ailofamelico: So, you have realtime privilege02:52
famelicoyes!02:53
ailofamelico: What setting are you using?02:53
ailofamelico: frames/buffer02:53
famelico128 frames02:53
famelico2 periods buffer02:53
famelicoand 960000 khz02:53
ailofamelico: That should work, even on older machines02:53
famelicoyes02:53
ailoAh, but try 256 then02:53
famelicobut im getting xruns02:53
famelicoxruns i didnt used to have02:54
ailo96000 will give you 1/2 latency compared to 44100002:54
famelicoi dont know what did i touch a week ago02:54
famelicoi used to work on 32 frames02:54
famelicoand no xruns02:54
famelicobut now . . . its awfull02:54
ailofamelico: What version of Lubuntu?02:55
famelicothe last one02:55
ailofamelico: Which kernel?02:55
famelicokernel 3.0202:55
ailorealtime, or -lowlatency?02:55
famelicoand my kernel is 3.14-rt02:55
famelico3.02 is the generic02:55
ailoYou can't get good performance with the generic anyway02:55
famelicononono02:56
ailofamelico: Try linux-lowlatency02:56
famelicononono02:56
famelicodont work02:56
famelicoi tried it on tango studio02:56
ailoWhat do you mean, don't work?02:56
ailolinux-lowlatency is the standard kernel for Ubuntu Studio02:56
famelicoi dont get xruns but i get a fuzzy sound02:56
ailoIt's mostly as good as -realtime02:56
ailoThat's not because of the kernel02:57
ailoTry it02:57
ailoAlso, I don't know Tango Studio02:57
ailo-lowlatency is specifically for Ubuntu Studio02:57
famelicothere's some tweaking im missing02:57
famelicofor the rt02:57
ailofamelico: Maybe you need rtirc script?02:58
ailofamelico: You need to start with boot parameter "threadirqs" for it to work02:58
ailofamelico: -lowlatency has this builtin02:58
famelicothe last time i didnt use it and it work perfectly02:58
ailoOk02:58
famelicoi real about ir02:58
famelicoi read about it02:58
famelicoi dont think i need it02:59
ailoIt's only needed if you have irq problems02:59
famelicookok nono not my problem02:59
ailoI can't imagine any tweaking other than that02:59
famelicocan i pass to you the messages from my jackd?02:59
famelicothe console messages03:00
ailofamelico: Please do try -lowlatency. Also, kernels older than 2.6.39 are a bit slower03:00
famelicomaybe you can figure what if the problem!03:00
ailofamelico: Sure, paste it03:00
famelicothanks03:00
famelicoim sending it to you!03:00
famelicojust a minute!03:00
famelicohere the console says (when starting Lubuntu) thah my kernel need app armor 2.4 compatibility patch03:02
famelicopastebin.com/4QG3Anft03:05
ailofamelico: Do you use the pulseaudio-module-jack?03:06
famelicoNONO03:07
famelicoim using ALSA03:07
ailolubuntu doesn't have pulseaudio, or you uninstalled it?03:07
famelicono i didnt use pulseaudio. im using Lubuntu with alsa03:08
ailofamelico: You could ask about the jack log on #jack03:09
famelicookok03:09
ailofamelico: Still, I was just wondering, does Lubuntu come with pulseaudio preinstalled, or you removed it?03:10
ailoI mean, if so, did you remove it..03:10
ailoI think most Ubuntu systems use pulseaudio by default these days03:11
ailoEven Debian03:11
famelicononoon03:12
famelicois alsa what ubuntu uses03:12
famelicoi have lubuntu and ubuntu03:12
famelicoalways i see alsa03:12
ailofamelico: Ubuntu uses pulseaudio for it desktop system. Not alsa03:12
ailoI'm not talking about jack settings now03:13
ailofamelico: Do you see pulseaudio in qjackctl "Connect" when you start jackd?03:13
fameliconono03:14
famelicodo you know any other distro for audio with the rt kernel?03:18
famelicoi cant put this to work03:18
ailofamelico: Did you try -lowlatency?03:18
ailofamelico: I really recommend you to try it03:18
ailoAlso, I don't think you will find a rt kernel older than 2.6.39 that is better, or much better03:18
ailofamelico: Most of rt is in generic already03:19
ailofamelico: But, to make use of it, you need to configure it for the build03:19
ailofamelico: hence = -lowlatency03:19
famelicook03:20
famelicoill try03:20
famelico but now i dont have the time to compile the kernel anyway03:21
ailofamelico: You don't need to compile. Just install it03:29
ailofamelico: linux-lowlatency03:29
ailofamelico: Here's a simple guide on building an older -lowlatency for preference03:40

studio-user703hola19:45
studio-user703alguien habla español?19:45

echonizeHello folks!22:56
echonizeAny Ableton guys here?22:57
holsteinim aware of ableton, and have used it years ago... i dont think they make a linux version though23:08
echonizeI just tried to run Live 8.2.7 with Wine, worked quite well despite the small graphical bugs.23:12
echonizeI also tested Audiomulch 2 with Wine, worked really well without bugs for me.23:12
holsteincool.. maybe check and/or report at wineHQ23:12
holsteini personally use and support native software23:13
echonizeI would too, but they lack some features.23:13
echonizeIts just that ive used to quite heavy apps, like Cubase for example.23:13
holsteinwhat features?23:14
holsteinthey are open, add the features23:14
holsteinor request them...23:14
echonizeI wish i knew how to code stuff.23:14
holsteincheck out #opensourcemusicians when you get a chance.. lots of folks there making music23:14
echonizeOkay.23:15
