[16:31] <Stealthy> Hello there guise. Just a quick question. I recently installed ubuntu studio in my lenovo notebook and noticed it dos have a little latency when working with lmms (Linux Multimedia Studio), so I got ahead and installed ubuntustudio on my desktop. In my desktop there is still a little bit latency, but I could work there. Still, it would be a little more comfortable to work on the netbook, so I was wondering, is there any upgrades I could do on the
[16:31] <Stealthy>  netbook that would reduce latency? Maybe I should upgrade to 4GB ram?
[16:37] <len-dt> Stealthy, what are your jack settings?
[16:37] <len-dt> Or is this just MIDI?
[16:40] <len-dt> Stealthy, if this is MIDI timing (we're working on that as it happens) Here is something you can try.
[16:40] <Stealthy> I guess my jack settings are the default ones... have not messed with them
[16:41] <Mish> Uh Len...Is there a place where I can view all the icons used by Ubuntu studio? My laptop broke down and I am posting this from a different machine.
[16:41] <Stealthy> I'm not sure whether it's a midi or an audio problem. I just use my keyboard as a midi device, in order to control a soft synth, and I get a little bit latency
[16:43] <Stealthy> Thanks a lot for answering lend-dt. Can you wait for me a little bit? I'd like to boot into my ubuntustudio partion and give you my exact jacka and lmms settings...
[16:48] <len-dt> OK
[16:48] <Stealthy> thanks, I'll be right back!
[16:49] <len-dt> Mish,  http://www.ovenwerks.net/UStudiodocs/menu.html shows some of them.
[16:50] <len-dt> There is no publishing one yet though. So you are free to feel creative  :)
[16:52] <len-dt> Mish, actually you are free to feel creative with any of them. They don't have to look anything like what the ones are we are using.
[16:52] <len-dt> So long as they are a good representation of the task they represent.
[16:53]  * len-dt is good at misusing words
[17:00] <len-dt> Mish, did you get any of that?
[17:01] <Mish> Sorry I got disconnected for some reason. Yes I do seem to have gotten most of it
[17:02] <Mish> thanks for the link
[17:11] <ubuntustudio01> hey there len-dt, thanks for waiting
[17:11] <ubuntustudio01> this is the guy with latency problems on a notebook
[17:12] <ubuntustudio01> I took some screenshots of my jack settings and my lmms settings, could you please take a peak at them? I will paste the urls right away...

[17:27] <Stealthy> these are my settings on both jack and lmms:

[17:36] <ailo> Stealthy: Just lower the "frames/period" in qjackctl Setup
[17:36] <Stealthy> cool. Thanks a lot alio!
[17:36] <ailo> On a decent desktop, you should be able to set it to 64 without much problems
[17:37] <ailo> Stealthy: But, having the pulseaudio bridge active, will likely cause a few xruns
[17:37] <Stealthy> should I uninstall pulseaudio, maybe?
[17:38] <ailo> If you don't need the pulseaudio bridge, uncheck "Enable D-bus interface" in Setup -> Misc
[17:38] <ailo> Stealthy: It's no pulseaudio per se that might give you problems at lower latencies. It's the bridge between them. By default, pa will connect to jack
[17:39] <ailo> All though, you still need to set PA to use jack sinks, if you plan on using the bridge, in PA settings
[17:39] <Stealthy> Cool. I will follow your advice! Thanks a lot!
[17:39] <ailo> Stealthy: I would think, 128 would be a fair limit on your netbook
[17:40] <Stealthy> Nice. Thanks a lot again!

[18:16] <len-dt> ailo, I missed him. I actually think his problem may have been the MIDI timing problem you had. I was going to suggest he make the high rez timers available to audio apps.
[18:35] <ailo> len-dt: He only mentioned latency, which he would have, if he uses 1024 frames/period
[18:39] <Len-nb> ailo, Thanks for catching him
[22:02] <carloselastra_> That's O.K.
[22:15] <carloselastra__> well, at least i'm in
[23:47] <Borden> Quick question, what is a good audio interface to use with ubuntu studio. I have this 'maudio firewire solo' that I am slightly less than impressed with.
[23:49] <len-dt> holstein, might know, but #opensourcemusicians probably has a wider range of personal experience.
[23:50] <len-dt> I personally use an M-Audio delta 66
[23:51] <len-dt> I have no complaints with it. I use a mackie 1604 as mic preamps to feed it.
[23:51] <Borden> Thanks, I'll write that down.
