[05:33] <tech1> is it true ubuntustudio is no longer supported? someone just told me this
[05:34] <tech1> well the website says Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS is a 3 year Long Term Support release and will be supported until April 2015.  so i guess he was wrong
[10:02] <_raven> hi
[10:02] <_raven> what is necessary to get a working jack studio
[10:04] <cfhowlett> _raven: patience and willingness to take (small) risks with different configurations until you find the sweet spot.
[10:08] <_raven> strange that i can try it again and agqain and get sick everytime
[10:08] <_raven> with all possible configurations
[10:09] <_raven> its fully random if it runs or if not and its once more random when it fails within a production and NOBODY knows why
[10:09] <_raven> VEEEERY strange thing
[10:09] <cfhowlett> _raven: IMHO jack is not ready for prime time - but the alternative is ...?
[10:10] <_raven> cfhowlett the alternative is still windows with special drivers
[10:11] <cfhowlett> _raven: ok...
[10:11] <_raven> and THIS is a conclusion because i HATE windows and would like to produce only with linux but its NOT READY to work in a productive way
[10:40] <cfhowlett> _raven: it's okay.  We've ALL been there ...
[10:44] <_raven> why is it impossible to get it stabel
[10:53] <cfhowlett> _raven: I'm not the one to ask.
[15:37] <Joao> Hi, I have a suggestion for ubuntu studio, I can write it here?
[15:38] <astraljava> Joao: Yes of course.
[15:38] <smartboyhw> Hi!
[15:39] <Joao> Why not include a version of the ardor with vst support?
[15:40] <holstein> Joao: legal issues
[15:40] <holstein> Joao: think of it this way.. why not VST support allow ubuntustudio to include it?
[15:41] <smartboyhw> Yep.
[15:41] <holstein> Joao: when it does, we can and potentially will
[15:42] <holstein> Joao: the better place to ask this is with the commercial entities that control the licensing of those products
[15:42] <Joao> I understand ...
[15:43] <holstein> i personally dont use any windows vst's, nor do i care to, but i think its great that so many people work so hard to include support for these products for folks who want/need them
[15:45] <astraljava> Mike to the rescue. It took me a little while to hunt down the reason. :
[15:45] <astraljava> :)
[15:45] <smartboyhw> :)
[15:45] <holstein> \o/
[15:47] <smartboyhw> Hey, guys, received my e-mail?
[15:47] <holstein> falktx of the KXstudio project has really dont a lot in this area Joao
[15:50] <Joao> I knew the work of falktx a while ago
[15:53] <holstein> KXstudio includes support for as much of that stuff as possible AFAIK, and its built on ubuntu... and falk is just awesome at support and development
[15:54] <holstein> if i were wanting VST support in ubuntu, thats where i would look
[15:56] <Joao> In Brazil (my country), there is also a similar project. It's called Studio Linux BR
[15:57] <holstein> it would have to be pretty awesome and special to beat what i have seen falk do.. but i have not checked it out
[15:57] <astraljava> smartboyhw: Yes, but it's empty.
[15:58] <smartboyhw> Hmm... Let me write that again, g-mail's RTF editor is broken, bulls**t.
[15:59] <Joao> I am gradually dropping the programs from windows, I just need a virtual instrument from electric bass.
[15:59] <astraljava> smartboyhw: Mind the language, and please keep the mails in plain text, if possible.
[16:00] <Joao> Anyone know any?
[16:00] <holstein> Joao: i would ask falk.. he comes here, or you can email him, or try #kxstudio .. also, #opensourcemusicians
[16:01] <smartboyhw> Wait, astraljava, sorry for using such language, I'm angry...
[16:01] <holstein> there are lots of bass patchesand samples
[16:01] <holstein> im a bass player, so i dont use nor condone the use of such patches, but i know they are there, and work well
[16:01] <holstein> bass is quite easy to emulate like that.. electric bass... i would look in something easy like yoshimi.. and then go to something like linux sampler, or a font player
[16:02] <smartboyhw> Check your e-mails
[16:02] <astraljava> smartboyhw: It's alright, just take a deep breath before typing when you feel like that. It'll help, and you won't type anything you might regret later on. :)
