| ussher_ | im trying to add keyboard shortcuts to kazam to pause/unpause (because the icon click stops working) and have found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/kazam/+bug/650691 which reads ".... you can set the shortcuts in ~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf :) ....." but fails to say HOW to add them. any ideas how to add a keyboard shortcut? | 06:16 |

| Eddward | Does ubuntu studio have anything special like special kernel patches for audio work? | 21:13 |
| Eddward | Or is it a just a different set of default apps from ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| zequence | Eddward: It comes with preinstalled with linux-lowlatency (a reconfigured -generic) and a few settings to improbv | 21:15 |
| zequence | ..improve low latency operation | 21:15 |
| zequence | It's not difficult to add that to any Ubuntu flavor or derivative | 21:16 |
| zequence | Just install linux-lowlatency and add the user to audio group, as well as saying "yes" to realtime, when asked while installing jackd | 21:17 |
| zequence | All applications are in the main Ubuntu repo | 21:19 |
| zequence | You can then add all audio applications by installing ubuntustudio-audio | 21:22 |
| zequence | All, that are dependencies to that meta | 21:22 |
| Eddward | zequence: Thanks | 21:26 |
| holstein | most folks dont need even the low latency one though | 21:26 |
| holstein | you can do plenty of "audio work" without needing low latency | 21:26 |
| holstein | you will notice a need for it if you want to run software synthesisers or realtime effects.. | 21:27 |
| Eddward | I found yoshimi seemed to work better with it. | 21:27 |
| holstein | Eddward: not better | 21:27 |
| holstein | Eddward: will have lower latency if thats what you need | 21:28 |
| holstein | its neither better nor worse... | 21:28 |
| Eddward | It got clicky. | 21:28 |
| holstein | sure... at lower latency settings | 21:28 |
| holstein | you also might not need to play the synth realtime | 21:28 |
| holstein | you might just want to do some sequencing... with a piano roll editor for example. that will not require low latency | 21:29 |
| holstein | i would expect to get audio hardware that would support lower latency as well | 21:29 |
| holstein | if you are using an internal sound card, that is the biggest problem | 21:30 |
| Eddward | I have an sb live | 21:30 |
| Eddward | It's been ok for sound, but it's not very pa friendly. | 21:30 |
| holstein | Eddward: pulse audio? | 21:31 |
| Eddward | yes | 21:31 |
| holstein | the drivers are the same | 21:31 |
| Eddward | I know | 21:31 |
| zequence | Anyone who is wanting to play a soft synth live will need low latency | 21:31 |
| Eddward | They don't seem to want to support it. | 21:31 |
| holstein | i doubt its actually a pulse issue.. lubuntu doesnt ship with pulse.. you could fire that up live and test without pulse | 21:31 |
| Eddward | It plays fine w/o pulse. | 21:31 |
| Eddward | I also don't like that pulse won't take advantage of the multi-open support, but that's a separate issue. | 21:32 |
| zequence | pulse does do things a bit differently. Some cards have a alsa driver interface that doesn't work well with the standards that pulseaudio requireas | 21:33 |
| Eddward | Yep. | 21:33 |
| holstein | ive had issues with both scenarios, depending on driver support | 21:33 |
| zequence | Eddward: What is the issue you are having with pulseaudio? | 21:34 |
| Eddward | So far the emu10k driver's been fine for me with the sb live except for when I use pulse. | 21:34 |
| Eddward | It's clicky. If I do something that's CPU intensive like play a video game, the sound stutters and static's out until sound just dies and I get silence. | 21:35 |
| Eddward | I gave up on PA. | 21:35 |
| Eddward | I've never gotten any workable advice and lots of insults. | 21:36 |
| Eddward | Is unity the default DE for ubuntu studio now? | 21:36 |
| zequence | XFCE | 21:36 |
| Eddward | cool | 21:36 |
| zequence | Check out ubuntustudio.org for some pics | 21:37 |
| Eddward | I'm still on 10.04 and I'm hoping to upgrade over the holidys. | 21:37 |
| holstein | or download it and check it out live | 21:37 |
| zequence | Eddward: I'm guessing your PA issues might be long gone once you upgrade | 21:37 |
| Eddward | I'll give it another, but that's what I've heard before. | 21:38 |
| zequence | Just realized we don't have a screenshot of the desktop :P | 21:38 |
| Eddward | I use it on my work laptop with the enbedded sound chip. It gets staticy there, but it's just work. | 21:38 |
| Eddward | I don't mine a few clicks when the chat program beeps. | 21:39 |
| holstein | i usually have all that worked out from a live CD | 21:40 |
| holstein | Eddward: i get no clicks or pops.. desktop or studio. not on my sound blaster hardware either | 21:40 |
| zequence | 10.04 still didn't include a alsa driver for my audio device that allowed PA to see my audio ins and outs. That got sorted out a long time ago | 21:41 |
| Eddward | Does pulse run on top of jack or do it suspend pulse when doing sound work? | 21:41 |
| holstein | Eddward: not in any prolonged un-usable state | 21:41 |
| holstein | Eddward: you can undo the dbus that routes pulse through JACK (thats what i do) | 21:41 |
| zequence | pulse runs paralell to jack, unless you start jack with the same audio device | 21:41 |
| Eddward | I'm fine routing through jack. I hated killing all other sound to run jack before. | 21:42 |
| zequence | Ubuntu Studio comes preconfigured with having Pulseaudio bridge to jack, if starting jack though | 21:42 |
| holstein | i prefer having no other sound but jack on my audio rig | 21:42 |
| Eddward | cool | 21:42 |
| holstein | not that i remove or purge anything... | 21:42 |
| zequence | That means Pulseaudio is turned into an audio application, just like any audio application | 21:42 |
| zequence | It's not recommended to have the bridge active when doing low latency | 21:43 |
| zequence | It causes xruns | 21:43 |
| Eddward | ok | 21:43 |
| holstein | though, its quite useable and decent latency settings..and works out of the box.. easy | 21:43 |
| zequence | PA still needs to be set to use jack as its output/input, after starting jack, in order for the chain to be complete | 21:43 |
| Eddward | I just want to be able to run a game now and then with out having to kill jack. | 21:44 |
| Eddward | I'm still spoiled by running multi-open without pulse. | 21:44 |
| holstein | i dont do gaming and jack | 21:45 |
| holstein | i kill jack and do desktop tasks... or i dual boot a seperate installation | 21:45 |
| Eddward | I'm guessing they haven't done anything to rake advantage of multi-open. | 21:45 |
| holstein | i dont even like to upgrade my audio machine | 21:45 |
| holstein | i have a 10.04 install that i havent upgraded in years.. i dual boot 12.04 there til i get migrated over to 12.04 | 21:45 |
| Eddward | Maybe if I get a comfortable enough rig, I'll be that way. | 21:45 |
| holstein | i have a very comfortable dual core rig that i got for recovering some data from a hard drive for a friend | 21:47 |
| Eddward | I got to were I was using yoshimi, qsynth and I was trying to find a recording/sequencer I liked. | 21:47 |
| Eddward | I played with muse & rosegarden, | 21:48 |
| holstein | qtractor is the one i hear about, though i do very little midi myself | 21:48 |
| Eddward | I hate having to reload all the different programs and getting reset up each time. | 21:48 |
| holstein | ardour3 will be the big one when its final | 21:48 |
| holstein | Eddward: sure.. but actually, you *get* to load the different programs and set them up with each other | 21:48 |
| zequence | ardour3 midi is not the best, even though it does work. I either use qtractor or muse. Muse is very fast to work with, if you write notes by hand | 21:49 |
| zequence | I only use muse for midi though | 21:49 |
| zequence | And I prefer Ardour for audio | 21:49 |
| holstein | zequence: might not be the best, but i bet it will be the go-to when its final | 21:49 |
| Eddward | If I could snaphot it once I'm setup that would be fine. | 21:49 |
| holstein | Eddward: there are session managers | 21:49 |
| Eddward | I need to figure out how to use one. | 21:49 |
| Eddward | Thanks for you help. I got to run. | 21:50 |
