[18:20] <strk> can I upgrade from ubuntu to ubuntustudio with an apt-get command ?
[18:20] <strk> 12.04 here
[18:20] <strk> 12.04.1 to be precise
[18:21] <strk> also, is it worth on this 512MB ram laptop ?
[18:48] <DarkEra> strk, if you want to get into audio production or image and video editing i think that 512mb is not enough at all
[19:03] <strk> no image and video, I think a sequencer would be a good start
[19:04] <Arkhanos> A zequencer :D
[19:04] <strk> I've a piano with MIDI interface, would like to try at using it to record tracks
[19:05] <strk> ideally I'd also have extended sound bank on the laptop
[19:15] <Arkhanos> strk: How expensive are those MIDI pianos?
[19:15] <strk> ~750 euro 5 years ago
[19:15] <strk> a GEM
[19:15] <Arkhanos> strk: that's not cheap
[19:16] <strk> GEM rp700
[19:16] <strk> well, it has speakers too
[19:16] <strk> and it's a piece of forniture :)
[19:16] <Arkhanos> The most wonderful synthesisers are mostly cheap ones

[19:16] <strk> I use it as a piano, not a synth
[19:16] <strk> and tried to stay away from the computer while playing
[19:16] <Arkhanos> Ok
[19:16] <strk> but now I'm thinking I could plug it,
[19:16] <Arkhanos> Via the MIDI jack
[19:16] <strk> so bought a ~30 eur midi-usb thing
[19:16] <Arkhanos> I think
[19:16] <strk> yes, MIDI
[19:16] <Arkhanos> There is a special MIDI 3,5 mm jack plug
[19:16] <Arkhanos> It's pink
[19:16] <Arkhanos> But,
[19:16] <Arkhanos>  did the USB plug work?
[19:16] <strk> didn't receive it yet
[19:16] <Arkhanos> Kinda expensive plug anyway
[19:16] <strk> http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B000XRI3CC/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[19:16] <strk> I think it's more than a connector
[19:16] <Arkhanos> I see it as a sport to spend the lowest amount of money possible to music productiom
[19:17] <strk> I see it as a necessity :(
[19:17] <Arkhanos> Sorry, wifi problems here
