| studio-user989 | hello ? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| magic_silver_box | whales ftw | 00:14 |
| magic_silver_box | wow i am just at the end of my rope even trying to figure out how to download a driver or a module or whatever | 01:30 |
| magic_silver_box | what a mess | 01:30 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: nail it down for me, and i'll try and help | 02:01 |
| holstein | maybe you dnt need a driver | 02:01 |
| holstein | dont* | 02:01 |
| magic_silver_box | oh thanks | 02:09 |
| magic_silver_box | i have an emagic unitor 8 mk1 serial port 8x8 midi interface | 02:10 |
| magic_silver_box | ubuntu studio 12.04 doesn't see it automatically | 02:10 |
| magic_silver_box | or at all | 02:10 |
| magic_silver_box | the serial port _is_ active | 02:10 |
| magic_silver_box | irq4 | 02:10 |
| holstein | i havent used a serial port in years | 02:11 |
| magic_silver_box | well | 02:11 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: i would get a $4 USB midi adapter that works | 02:11 |
| magic_silver_box | i need eight ins and eight outs | 02:11 |
| magic_silver_box | i have a huge amount of gear | 02:11 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: i would *not* waste time with any USB hardware.. or serial hardware | 02:11 |
| holstein | i would just purchase a usb unit | 02:11 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: did it ever work? | 02:12 |
| magic_silver_box | no | 02:12 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: then it likely will not | 02:12 |
| magic_silver_box | haha | 02:12 |
| magic_silver_box | uhhh | 02:12 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: you can always ask them for a driver.. but i would just get a USB one | 02:12 |
| magic_silver_box | i figured out the is a generic serial port midi driver inluded with my build/distro/whatever it is | 02:13 |
| magic_silver_box | hold on let me get on with that box | 02:13 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: i would just test it | 02:13 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: i would open JACK and see if its there and route soemthing with it | 02:14 |
| silverb0x | oK | 02:14 |
| silverb0x | http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/serial-u16550.txt | 02:14 |
| magic_silver_box | i did all this modprobe crap and figured out some arguments that wouldn't kick back an error | 02:17 |
| holstein | why? | 02:17 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: just try and use it | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | to try to install it | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | i know | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | like | 02:17 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: how do you know its not? | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | how do i use it? | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | how do i install a driver? | 02:17 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: get JACK running and try routing with it.. see if it shows up | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | all the documentation for this OS is so cryptic i think you just have to be the guy who wrote it in order to understand it | 02:17 |
| magic_silver_box | forgive me, i'm feeling really furious and i hope i don't offend or make a fool of myself | 02:18 |
| magic_silver_box | all right let me run jack again brb | 02:18 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: | 02:19 |
| holstein | ? | 02:19 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: you need to ask for documentation from where it should be coming from | 02:19 |
| holstein | the vendor | 02:19 |
| holstein | we cannot provide you documenation on how to use that hardware.. its challenging | 02:19 |
| holstein | everyones case is different | 02:19 |
| holstein | magic_silver_box: i *can*, and will remain constructive with you and troubleshoot as best i can | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | i know. i told you, i'm just trying to use this generic driver i found that might work | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | aaaaaa | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | i need to take a break | 02:20 |
| holstein | silverb0x: do you know its not just working? | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | im totally going to blow yo and youre trying to help | 02:20 |
| holstein | silverb0x: usually its just working | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | blow yo? blow up | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | lieufalasdufgtalg | 02:20 |
| holstein | silverb0x: i get it, man | 02:20 |
| holstein | its frustrating.. no doubt | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | anyway | 02:20 |
| silverb0x | ran qjackctl | 02:21 |
| silverb0x | start | 02:21 |
| silverb0x | connect | 02:21 |
| silverb0x | nothing shows under midi | 02:21 |
| holstein | right.. click on "connect" and see if you see the device in "midi" or "jack" | 02:21 |
| silverb0x | ::/ | 02:21 |
| silverb0x | this client thing is kind of cool though | 02:21 |
| silverb0x | qjackctl | 02:21 |
| holstein | there are others.. if you prefer | 02:22 |
| holstein | i like qjackctl | 02:22 |
| silverb0x | yeah it doesn't show | 02:23 |
| holstein | then, i would just get a USB midi unit | 02:24 |
| holstein | a cheap one | 02:24 |
| holstein | i got one for like $11.. no shipping | 02:24 |
| holstein | just get it, and get started | 02:24 |
| silverb0x | but i need a whole lot of I/O | 02:24 |
| holstein | silverb0x: you have none now | 02:25 |
| holstein | silverb0x: you coule drop $11 and get some | 02:25 |
| holstein | then, test.. see if you care about using ubuntu/linux | 02:25 |
| silverb0x | for 8x8 you can get the unitor, which is rock solid; you can get a midiman/m-audio midisport 8x8, which is not; steinberg midex, which might work with linux, i don't know; or motu, which is to be avoided | 02:25 |
| holstein | id say 1x1 is better than 0x0, or dealing with unspupported hardare | 02:25 |
| silverb0x | the other option is to get the unitor mk2, which is USB but still is not on the list of ALSA-supported hardware | 02:26 |
| holstein | OR.. get a few 1x1 USB ones | 02:26 |
| silverb0x | i am going to have a good setup or none at all | 02:26 |
| holstein | silverb0x: you have none right now | 02:27 |
| holstein | silverb0x: midi is midi. ther is nt "better' transmitting of note on and note off messages | 02:27 |
| holstein | midi is midi.. the sound creation is where you get the quality.. | 02:28 |
| silverb0x | i disagree. quality interfaces have good timing, and cheap ones have notoriously bad timing | 02:29 |
| silverb0x | especially if you're forced to run all sixteen channels on one cable. midi does not support simultaneous events. | 02:30 |
| silverb0x | for dance music, that's a problem. | 02:30 |
| silverb0x | i have to go outside | 02:30 |
| holstein | silverb0x: mine has the same timing as jack | 02:30 |
| silverb0x | i'm worrying myself | 02:30 |
| silverb0x | thanks for your assistance, be back later | 02:30 |
| holstein | silverb0x: all im suggesting is, you literally get a $10 bill and try it | 02:30 |
| holstein | you might not like the midi options anyways | 02:30 |
| holstein | also, try some other live CD's | 02:30 |
| holstein | try AVLinux live | 02:30 |
| holstein | try the old 64studio live CD | 02:31 |
| holstein | silverb0x: ubuntu cant provide you a driver.. you dont know if that link you have will work with current kernels | 02:31 |
| holstein | the vendor can, but likely wont | 02:31 |
| hectorlopez | hi there ardour 3.0 its here D: | 03:24 |
| holstein | hectorlopez: check #ardour ..its not released yet, thought there are lots of PPA's and sources for getting it | 03:25 |
| frewsxcv | what's that irc channel that has foss musicians/producers? | 04:36 |
| magic_silver_box | #Foss-dewdZ | 05:34 |
| dn4 | what is the best text to speech program for ubuntustudio | 10:49 |
| zequence | dn4: I don't think we've done any work on making that easy on Ubuntu Studio, so generally, just whatever works best on regular Ubuntu | 11:49 |

| leonet | Hola, alguien podria guiarme en español para revisar la configuracion de sonido de mi pc, lo acabo de instalar pero no suena nada | 19:48 |
| holstein | !es | leonet | 19:48 |
| ubottu | leonet: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 19:48 |
| leonet | Tks holstein | 19:48 |
