| alexei | hi, i installed ubuntustudio for the first time and it does not seem to recognize my Wacom Bamboo tablet. What can I do? thanks | 16:15 |
|---|---|---|
| tech1 | im watching a tutorial for jack audio and it recommends setting up realtime audio... is this something i need to do with the latest ubuntustudio? or it is already done or something in place of it | 19:19 |
| holstein | tech1: its something i suggest you take in stages | 21:01 |
| holstein | if you need lower latency, then seek it.. if everything is working, then "if it aint broke" | 21:01 |
| tech1 | ok ill try it in stages | 21:03 |
| holstein | tech1: if you are doing software synths or adding realtime effects using the computer, you will need lower latenyc | 21:07 |
| holstein | latency* | 21:07 |
| holstein | most folks dont need it... | 21:07 |
| tech1 | yeh ill be doing full music production | 21:09 |
| ailo | tech1: Everything is all set up on Ubuntu Studio | 21:10 |
| ailo | tech1: There are two things you need to do, to achieve it on any Ubuntu based distro besides Studio | 21:10 |
| ailo | tech1: 1. Install jackd and say yes to realtime privilege | 21:11 |
| ailo | tech1: 2. Add yourself to audio group: sudo usermod -a -G audio $USER | 21:11 |
| ailo | reboot, and you're done | 21:11 |
| ailo | tech1: Also, install linux-lowlatency, to get better performance | 21:11 |
| tech1 | i see thanks. ill make a note of these. i have studio version so i guess ill just need to only do the last bit then | 21:12 |
| ailo | tech1: Ubuntu Studio comes with linux-lowlatency preinstalled | 21:13 |
| ailo | tech1: linux-generic is the default kernel on other Ubuntu distros | 21:13 |
| ailo | So, if you installed Ubuntu Studio, all you need to do is to learn how the applications work | 21:14 |
| ailo | No tuning needed | 21:14 |
| tech1 | oh right. thats good then :) | 21:14 |
| ailo | Unless you have some sort of weird HW problem | 21:14 |
| tech1 | i can get audio from movies and the browser so looks like my soundcard is ok | 21:15 |
| ailo | tech1: Only one device? | 21:15 |
| ailo | tech1: Meaning, only one soundcard? | 21:16 |
| tech1 | i have a mixer connected to my pc speaker ouput and headphones in the mixer..... yes just my motherboard's soundcard | 21:16 |
| tech1 | its an intel h77 board so should be sufficient | 21:16 |
| ailo | tech1: That makes things pretty simple. Qjackctl is a good jack control application. You'll only need to set frames/period lower, if you need lower latency | 21:18 |
| ailo | tech1: Also learn how connections work | 21:18 |
| ailo | tech1: Desktop sound will automatically be routed to jack, when you start it with qjackctl | 21:18 |
| ailo | Might be you need to set pulseaudio output to jack manually. I have three soundcards, so things are a little different | 21:19 |
| tech1 | cool. yeh i found a few good youtube tutorials for jack. is it possible to make a script that loads a session of all the music apps and their jack connections? | 21:19 |
| ailo | tech1: Use gladish | 21:20 |
| ailo | It's a session software, designed for that | 21:20 |
| tech1 | ok ill look it up | 21:20 |
| ailo | It's not perfectly intuitive, probably, if you're not used to Linux | 21:20 |
| ailo | tech1: It should be preinstalled | 21:20 |
| ailo | gladish is really a gnome gui for ladish | 21:21 |
| tech1 | yeh i can see it on my menu | 21:21 |
| tech1 | im sure ill be able to figure it out. im finding linux software easier to learn than windows stuff. actually | 21:22 |
| tech1 | or maybe just more enjoyable to learn..... because it isnt bloated propriatary nonsense like windows stuff | 21:23 |
| ailo | It feels very different, no question. | 21:23 |
| ailo | You don't feel owned | 21:24 |
| tech1 | yeh. windows everything felt like doing a chore for someone else.... linux sometimes more complex... but feels more rewarding and based around what i want | 21:25 |
| ailo | On windows you expect things to just work. You paid for it after all. Considering that fact, you put a lot of time sorting stuff out when you weren't supposed to need to. | 21:29 |
| ailo | On Linux, you aren't expecting that, but if it just works on Linux, you feel grateful | 21:30 |
| tech1 | thats definetly true | 21:35 |
| dn4 | ubuntustudio-12.04-dvd-amd64.iso) = 7421cb2229980e9f7931035dd54296a7 | 23:53 |
| dn4 | why isn't this included https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 23:53 |
