[06:16] 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] Launchpad bug 650691 in Kazam Screencaster "Kazam needs keyboard shortcuts" [Wishlist,Fix released] === sunzz is now known as sunz [21:13] Does ubuntu studio have anything special like special kernel patches for audio work? [21:14] Or is it a just a different set of default apps from ubuntu? [21:15] Eddward: It comes with preinstalled with linux-lowlatency (a reconfigured -generic) and a few settings to improbv [21:15] ..improve low latency operation [21:16] It's not difficult to add that to any Ubuntu flavor or derivative [21:17] Just install linux-lowlatency and add the user to audio group, as well as saying "yes" to realtime, when asked while installing jackd [21:19] All applications are in the main Ubuntu repo [21:22] You can then add all audio applications by installing ubuntustudio-audio [21:22] All, that are dependencies to that meta [21:26] zequence: Thanks [21:26] most folks dont need even the low latency one though [21:26] you can do plenty of "audio work" without needing low latency [21:27] you will notice a need for it if you want to run software synthesisers or realtime effects.. [21:27] I found yoshimi seemed to work better with it. [21:27] Eddward: not better [21:28] Eddward: will have lower latency if thats what you need [21:28] its neither better nor worse... [21:28] It got clicky. [21:28] sure... at lower latency settings [21:28] you also might not need to play the synth realtime [21:29] you might just want to do some sequencing... with a piano roll editor for example. that will not require low latency [21:29] i would expect to get audio hardware that would support lower latency as well [21:30] if you are using an internal sound card, that is the biggest problem [21:30] I have an sb live [21:30] It's been ok for sound, but it's not very pa friendly. [21:31] Eddward: pulse audio? [21:31] yes [21:31] the drivers are the same [21:31] I know [21:31] Anyone who is wanting to play a soft synth live will need low latency [21:31] They don't seem to want to support it. [21:31] i doubt its actually a pulse issue.. lubuntu doesnt ship with pulse.. you could fire that up live and test without pulse [21:31] It plays fine w/o pulse. [21:32] I also don't like that pulse won't take advantage of the multi-open support, but that's a separate issue. [21:33] 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] Yep. [21:33] ive had issues with both scenarios, depending on driver support [21:34] Eddward: What is the issue you are having with pulseaudio? [21:34] So far the emu10k driver's been fine for me with the sb live except for when I use pulse. [21:35] 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] I gave up on PA. [21:36] I've never gotten any workable advice and lots of insults. [21:36] Is unity the default DE for ubuntu studio now? [21:36] XFCE [21:36] cool [21:37] Check out ubuntustudio.org for some pics [21:37] I'm still on 10.04 and I'm hoping to upgrade over the holidys. [21:37] or download it and check it out live [21:37] Eddward: I'm guessing your PA issues might be long gone once you upgrade [21:38] I'll give it another, but that's what I've heard before. [21:38] Just realized we don't have a screenshot of the desktop :P [21:38] I use it on my work laptop with the enbedded sound chip. It gets staticy there, but it's just work. [21:39] I don't mine a few clicks when the chat program beeps. [21:40] i usually have all that worked out from a live CD [21:40] Eddward: i get no clicks or pops.. desktop or studio. not on my sound blaster hardware either [21:41] 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] Does pulse run on top of jack or do it suspend pulse when doing sound work? [21:41] Eddward: not in any prolonged un-usable state [21:41] Eddward: you can undo the dbus that routes pulse through JACK (thats what i do) [21:41] pulse runs paralell to jack, unless you start jack with the same audio device [21:42] I'm fine routing through jack. I hated killing all other sound to run jack before. [21:42] Ubuntu Studio comes preconfigured with having Pulseaudio bridge to jack, if starting jack though [21:42] i prefer having no other sound but jack on my audio rig [21:42] cool [21:42] not that i remove or purge anything... [21:42] That means Pulseaudio is turned into an audio application, just like any audio application [21:43] It's not recommended to have the bridge active when doing low latency [21:43] It causes xruns [21:43] ok [21:43] though, its quite useable and decent latency settings..and works out of the box.. easy [21:43] PA still needs to be set to use jack as its output/input, after starting jack, in order for the chain to be complete [21:44] I just want to be able to run a game now and then with out having to kill jack. [21:44] I'm still spoiled by running multi-open without pulse. [21:45] i dont do gaming and jack [21:45] i kill jack and do desktop tasks... or i dual boot a seperate installation [21:45] I'm guessing they haven't done anything to rake advantage of multi-open. [21:45] i dont even like to upgrade my audio machine [21:45] 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] Maybe if I get a comfortable enough rig, I'll be that way. [21:47] i have a very comfortable dual core rig that i got for recovering some data from a hard drive for a friend [21:47] I got to were I was using yoshimi, qsynth and I was trying to find a recording/sequencer I liked. [21:48] I played with muse & rosegarden, [21:48] qtractor is the one i hear about, though i do very little midi myself [21:48] I hate having to reload all the different programs and getting reset up each time. [21:48] ardour3 will be the big one when its final [21:48] Eddward: sure.. but actually, you *get* to load the different programs and set them up with each other [21:49] 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] I only use muse for midi though [21:49] And I prefer Ardour for audio [21:49] zequence: might not be the best, but i bet it will be the go-to when its final [21:49] If I could snaphot it once I'm setup that would be fine. [21:49] Eddward: there are session managers [21:49] I need to figure out how to use one. [21:50] Thanks for you help. I got to run.
