| len-dt | holstein, just looking at the LMMS docs... It looks to me like there is no way of directly recording audio tracks. | 15:11 |
|---|---|---|
| len-dt | It seems to suggest that audio tracks/samples are recorded with another application like audacity and imported | 15:11 |
| holstein | len-dt: i *totally* agree with your latest email | 15:12 |
| * smartboyhw agrees too | 15:12 | |
| holstein | i dont mind when time allows to test whatever to get it working | 15:12 |
| len-dt | It would seem to me that having to record vocals separately in another app is not that novice friendly... | 15:13 |
| holstein | ive got something like 10 shows a week for the next few weeks, but i have time in between them near internet | 15:13 |
| holstein | len-dt: ive never thought it was "friendly".. i think it looks friendly | 15:14 |
| smartboyhw | holstein, len-dt want to do that open week session eh? | 15:14 |
| holstein | its drag and drop-ish. and kind of has the feel of that ap everyone misses... is it acid? | 15:14 |
| len-dt | I guess I am a play it from start to finish kind of person... | 15:15 |
| smartboyhw | lol | 15:15 |
| len-dt | No two verses are exacly the same in feel. | 15:15 |
| holstein | yeah... i dont need this tool either, but i dont want it cause it crashes with JACK | 15:16 |
| len-dt | Even the chorus tends to vary | 15:16 |
| holstein | if thats not the case, then toss it in | 15:16 |
| holstein | len-dt: i thought there was an lmms dev in the #opensourcemusicians channel.. someone fired up about makin it stable | 15:17 |
| * smartboyhw finds that his question has been ignored:`( | 15:18 | |
| holstein | smartboyhw: im just going to sneak in whatever testing when i can | 15:18 |
| smartboyhw | holstein, good.....but not THAT question:D | 15:18 |
| holstein | i did an open week presentation once though... it was great | 15:18 |
| holstein | good times :) | 15:18 |
| len-dt | smartboyhw, The word "week" scares me. | 15:18 |
| smartboyhw | len-dt, no no no | 15:19 |
| smartboyhw | len-dt, just a session of 1 hour talking about Ubuntu Studio in #ubuntu-classroom | 15:19 |
| len-dt | My spare time is a lot less now than it has been... and scheduling anything has become very hard. | 15:19 |
| smartboyhw | around 23rd and 24th | 15:20 |
| holstein | yeah, im slammed til november.. then im out of town twice | 15:20 |
| smartboyhw | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek I think | 15:20 |
| smartboyhw | oops 24th and 25th:D | 15:20 |
| len-dt | smartboyhw, I'll look later | 15:21 |
| smartboyhw | len-dt, thx | 15:21 |
| smartboyhw | I am not going to do it, I got a full Ubuntu QA session to take care of:D | 15:21 |
| smartboyhw | it = Ubuntu Studio session | 15:22 |
| len-dt | holstein, I get the idea that LMMS is a computer version of those keyboards that have beat boxes and extensive record edit stuff. | 15:22 |
| holstein | len-dt: maybe.. it looks a lot like that application. i think its acid.. i saw a friend use it in windows | 15:23 |
| len-dt | Generally nothing that would be used on stage. | 15:23 |
| len-dt | (the extra controls would get in the way) | 15:23 |
| holstein | you could drag/drop samples into a timeline, and the "edges" would get cleaned up automatically, and the sample would get sized to fit | 15:23 |
| holstein | you could record yourself doing *anything* for a measure or 2, even somewhat in time, and the software just made it magically sound tolerable | 15:24 |
| len-dt | Interesting. | 15:25 |
| smartboyhw | :) | 15:25 |
| holstein | that was years ago as well... like 2005-ish? i bet it does more now | 15:26 |
| len-dt | By Sony? | 15:27 |
| holstein | im going to keep looking, but i think sony acid was the one http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/acidsoftware | 15:27 |
| holstein | lemme google some screenies.. i think i would recognize it | 15:27 |
| smartboyhw | len-dt, btw how is that SRU going for the no help fix? | 15:28 |
| holstein | that looks like it... same kind of "toy-ish" look and feel | 15:28 |
| len-dt | You too can sound like [insert fav boy band here] | 15:31 |
| holstein | lol.. right? | 15:31 |
| len-dt | Sometimes creative people start in strange places. | 15:32 |
| holstein | and you can... iirc, there was some reverb already on the master bus (not that it was called master bus) | 15:32 |
| smartboyhw | :D | 15:39 |
| smartboyhw | bye holstein and len-dt | 15:43 |
| len-dt | holstein, acid claims it does everything, multitrack recording to midi. Is it standard windows practice that you give the application vendor personal info before it will run? | 15:43 |
| * holstein shrugs... maybe | 15:43 | |
| len-dt | -10 | 15:44 |
| len-dt | holstein, in any case there is nothing else I have seen that supports that much automation as LMMS does. It is funny, there was a shareware sequencer I used on my old atari mega 2 that I really liked. I have seen nothing like it since. | 15:53 |
| len-dt | It was very basic in some ways, but it did the basics very well. It had the most solid time base of anything at the time too. | 15:56 |
| holstein | len-dt: theres a need for sure... something "simple" and maybe something that does everything on its own and doesnt use or need to use JACK | 16:03 |
| ailo | len-dt: holstein lmms has not been updated for a while | 22:22 |
| ailo | The fact that you can't record with it is not a deal breaker for me. It's still good for making electronic music | 22:23 |
| ailo | It can import fruity loops projects | 22:23 |
| ailo | Don't know what the updated version can do | 22:23 |
| ailo | On another matter. I was helping a friend install 12.10 | 22:24 |
| ailo | It never even crossed my mind to keep the open source ATI graphic drivers | 22:24 |
| ailo | Even though they work well with the desktop | 22:24 |
| ailo | We installed wine, and steam. No problem running HL2 | 22:25 |
| ailo | fglrx on the other hand, I couldn't get working, and info on the net was sparse | 22:25 |
| len-dt | ailo, lmms has not been updated in a while means lmms itself or the debian project or ubuntu? | 23:01 |
