| conspiritech | so what is the general workflow with ustudio sound things? im sort of bewildered by my options. (i am not really a musician yet, but i have had 1.5 music tech courses. and cannot (yet) play any live instrument) | 02:29 |
|---|---|---|
| ubuntu-studio | hi all, I', having a problem getting a MidiSport2x2 working, I've installed the midisport-firmware packafe but I can figure out how to get fxload to load the firmware | 02:43 |
| len-dt | conspiritech, it depends on what you wish to do. | 02:43 |
| len-dt | ubuntu-studio, I honestly don't know. Why does it need firmware? How is it different from a midi port? (what does it do? | 02:45 |
| conspiritech | everything! | 02:46 |
| conspiritech | but right now all i have is a linux tower and an apple garage band | 02:46 |
| ubuntu-studio | len-dt: it's a USB midi controller | 02:46 |
| len-dt | conspiritech, :) you have to start somewhere. if you are not recording live sounds, then it sounds like you are interested in mostly MIDI and synth kinds of things. | 02:47 |
| len-dt | ubuntu-studio, most midi controllers that I have tried just work. | 02:47 |
| len-dt | ubuntu-studio, they are generally just a uart | 02:48 |
| conspiritech | ambient sounds or things i can make, i guess | 02:48 |
| conspiritech | minute | 02:48 |
| len-dt | conspiritech, do you have any equipment outside of the computer itself? (mics etc.) | 02:49 |
| len-dt | conspiritech, so are you planning to use these to record? or would you like to use internal synths? Something like LMMS will give you a good start with synths even without an external keyboard. | 02:52 |
| len-dt | What kind of soundcard do you have? | 02:52 |
| ubuntu-studio | len-dt: nvm, figured it out | 02:57 |
| len-dt | ubuntu-studio, great! | 02:59 |
| len-dt | There are two or three "recording" workflows | 03:01 |
| conspiritech | http://soundcloud.com/conspiritech/thewhisperradio | 03:02 |
| len-dt | Personally, I record live sound with a mic. I am not a good keyboard player and I don't happend to like patern based or loop based music | 03:02 |
| len-dt | So I use Ardour with jackdbus and that just works for me. | 03:03 |
| conspiritech | this was all non instrumental. unless wind chimes count | 03:03 |
| len-dt | conspiritech, do you mix tracks? or try to record it all live? | 03:05 |
| len-dt | Do you start with a bunch of wav/mp3 files and overlay them? | 03:06 |
| conspiritech | microphone and apple garage band for that one | 03:07 |
| conspiritech | nothing live | 03:07 |
| len-dt | Well it sounds like all the sounds started "live", I don't think there are any "synthesized" sounds in there | 03:08 |
| conspiritech | not in that one no | 03:08 |
| len-dt | But it sounds like you have taken a number of sounds and put them together. | 03:08 |
| conspiritech | background noise, EM buzz, 3 radios at once, wind | 03:09 |
| conspiritech | random sentence generators were used | 03:09 |
| len-dt | qtractor would work easier than ardour (I think) or LMMS. Sounds can be placed repeated etc. | 03:09 |
| * len-dt has to put kids to bed back later. | 03:10 | |
| conspiritech | see ya | 03:10 |
