[16:15] <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
[19:19] <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
[21:01] <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"
[21:03] <tech1> ok ill try it in stages
[21:07] <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...
[21:09] <tech1> yeh ill be doing full music production
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <ailo> tech1: Ubuntu Studio comes with linux-lowlatency preinstalled
[21:13] <ailo> tech1: linux-generic is the default kernel on other Ubuntu distros
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <tech1> i can get audio from movies and the browser so looks like my soundcard is ok
[21:15] <ailo> tech1: Only one device?
[21:16] <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
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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?
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <ailo> gladish is really a gnome gui for ladish
[21:21] <tech1> yeh i can see it on my menu
[21:22] <tech1> im sure ill be able to figure it out. im finding linux software easier to learn than windows stuff. actually
[21:23] <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.
[21:24] <ailo> You don't feel owned
[21:25] <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
[21:29] <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.
[21:30] <ailo> On Linux, you aren't expecting that, but if it just works on Linux, you feel grateful
[21:35] <tech1> thats definetly true
