| inahd | hey all, i am having a problem where configuring sound to work in jack has caused it to stop working elsewhere | 12:36 |
| inahd | i am using an ice1712 soundcard, and think the problem lies with pulseaudio | 12:37 |
| inahd | is there some way to configure pulseaudio to perhaps recognize the change to and from jack? | 12:39 |
| brian_ | Does anyone know how to connect MIDI using Ubuntu Studio? | 12:49 |
| inahd | like a midi keyboard? | 12:50 |
| brian_ | Yes | 12:51 |
| inahd | what do you want to connect it to? | 12:52 |
| brian_ | Ardour looks like a good program. I am very new to Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu in general, but it looks like it has a lot of features. | 12:53 |
| inahd | totally, well i assume you would like to connect the keyboard to a synth program, then route the sound into a track in ardour? | 12:53 |
| brian_ | Yes that is right thank you very much for your help. | 12:54 |
| inahd | basically you wil accomplish this through jack: | 12:54 |
| brian_ | ok, one sec, let me open jack. | 12:54 |
| inahd | in the alsa tab, your device should be listed | 12:55 |
| inahd | then when you open a synth program (like qsynth), you should be able to connect the two | 12:55 |
| brian_ | I don't see alsa. | 12:56 |
| inahd | it will be in the connections window | 12:56 |
| brian_ | ok I found it | 12:56 |
| brian_ | Ok I clicked connect. | 12:57 |
| inahd | are you connecting it to qsynth? | 12:57 |
| brian_ | Not yet, one sec. | 12:57 |
| brian_ | Where is qsynth on Ubuntu Studio, do you need to download it? | 12:58 |
| inahd | well im not sure its there... maybe fluidsynth or something | 12:58 |
| inahd | any spnth program | 12:59 |
| brian_ | Ok I will find it. | 12:59 |
| brian_ | Not seeing anything that says "synth" How do I send you a screnshot so that you can see what I see? | 13:01 |
| inahd | hang on let me look | 13:01 |
| brian_ | bingo, I found qsynth? | 13:01 |
| brian_ | . | 13:01 |
| brian_ | I found it. | 13:02 |
| inahd | cool | 13:03 |
| brian_ | Ok how do you connect qsynth? | 13:03 |
| inahd | so yeah open it and connect in alsa tab | 13:03 |
| inahd | assuming the midi device is showing there as well | 13:03 |
| inahd | midi on the left, qsynth on the right | 13:03 |
| inahd | then, you need to load soundfonts in qsynth probably | 13:04 |
| brian_ | oh how do you do that? | 13:04 |
| inahd | then select the channel you want to play... and all that | 13:04 |
| inahd | then you route qsynth to the ardour channel you would like to record on | 13:05 |
| brian_ | ok I see Restart, Panic, Reset, Channels,Setup, Then some Reverb menus, and Chorus Menus. Then quit, options, Messages, about. | 13:05 |
| inahd | setup will have a tab for loading soundfonts | 13:06 |
| inahd | if your midi is connected to qsynth, you will see a green light turn on when you press a key | 13:06 |
| brian_ | Ok it is not connected yet. | 13:07 |
| inahd | hmm | 13:07 |
| inahd | is it connected in the alsa tab? | 13:07 |
| brian_ | the screen is blank | 13:07 |
| brian_ | yes | 13:07 |
| inahd | what screen is blank? | 13:08 |
| brian_ | It says SFID Name Offset | 13:08 |
| brian_ | then below it is blank. | 13:08 |
| brian_ | oh wait maybe it is connected- did you mean a green light on the MIDI device? | 13:09 |
| inahd | no, on the main screen of qsynth | 13:10 |
| brian_ | ok no, not yet. | 13:10 |
| brian_ | also the MIDI device menu is greyed out. | 13:11 |
| inahd | in qsynth? | 13:11 |
| brian_ | yes | 13:11 |
| inahd | is midi input enabled? | 13:12 |
| brian_ | yes | 13:12 |
| brian_ | but the MIDI Device tab is blank and greyed out. | 13:12 |
| brian_ | This is under the MIDI tab. | 13:13 |
| inahd | oh thats fine i think | 13:13 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:13 |
| inahd | midi driver selected? | 13:13 |
| brian_ | there is an open tab under soundfonts, should we try that? | 13:14 |
| inahd | yes, load the soundfonts | 13:14 |
| brian_ | ok now I see FluidR3_GM.sf2 and TimGM6mb.sf2 | 13:15 |
| inahd | /usr/share/sounds/sf2 | 13:15 |
| inahd | yes the fluid file | 13:15 |
| inahd | load it | 13:15 |
| brian_ | Ok it's loaded. | 13:16 |
| brian_ | I still don't see a green light though. | 13:17 |
| brian_ | I think we are getting close however. | 13:17 |
| inahd | is jack actually running? did it start | 13:17 |
| brian_ | After I clicked on the connect button it greyed out. | 13:18 |
| inahd | but in jack main window, did you click start? | 13:18 |
| brian_ | oh! no, I don't think I did, one sec. | 13:19 |
| brian_ | Where do you find start? | 13:19 |
| brian_ | I see it, but it's greyed out. | 13:19 |
| inahd | so then its probably started | 13:20 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:20 |
| brian_ | hmm, this is a puzzle. | 13:21 |
| inahd | it always is | 13:21 |
| brian_ | Yes. | 13:21 |
| inahd | hmm | 13:22 |
| inahd | don't know what to tell you | 13:22 |
| brian_ | Ok well you really tried hard to help me. I appreciate all of your efforts. | 13:23 |
| inahd | you might have to fiddle with the channels or something, select another sound. though that green light on the bottom left of qsynth should be lighting up at this point | 13:23 |
| brian_ | I don't even see the green light, maybe I just need to look for it. | 13:24 |
| inahd | it turns on when you press keys | 13:24 |
| inahd | its a small black circle next to the qsynth1 tab in the bottom left of qsynth | 13:25 |
| brian_ | ok I see that. | 13:25 |
| brian_ | But it hasn't turned green yet. | 13:25 |
| inahd | if it doesnt light up, it means your midi keyboard isn't communicating with qsynth properly | 13:26 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:26 |
| inahd | it only lights up when the keys are pressed | 13:26 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:26 |
| brian_ | I am using wine | 13:26 |
| inahd | probably means that something is wrong in jack | 13:26 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:26 |
| inahd | wine for what? | 13:26 |
| brian_ | the MIDI software, do you think that makes a difference? I have MIDI uno | 13:27 |
| inahd | i dont know what that is | 13:27 |
| brian_ | oh | 13:27 |
| brian_ | Ok wine helps Ubuntu run windows software. | 13:27 |
| inahd | i mean the midi uno | 13:28 |
| brian_ | oh | 13:28 |
| brian_ | ok it is a cable connecting the keyboard to the computer. | 13:29 |
| inahd | hmm | 13:29 |
| inahd | you shouldn't need wine for that | 13:29 |
| brian_ | There is a green light for it that does turn on when I press keys. | 13:29 |
| inahd | is my guess | 13:29 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:29 |
| inahd | in the wine software? | 13:29 |
| inahd | or the keyboard? | 13:30 |
| brian_ | no on the cable. | 13:30 |
| inahd | oh | 13:30 |
| inahd | my only guess is that you aren't connecting the keyboard to qsynth properly in jack | 13:31 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:31 |
| brian_ | well it didn't used to turn on so I think we got somewhere. | 13:32 |
| brian_ | There is a setting we might work with in Jack. | 13:33 |
| brian_ | It says 14: MIDI Through. I think it came with Alsa. | 13:33 |
| inahd | no thats not what you want | 13:33 |
| brian_ | My midi interface says 24:USB Uno MIDI Interface. | 13:34 |
| brian_ | yes how do you remove that? | 13:34 |
| inahd | you dont | 13:34 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:34 |
| inahd | but its not what you connect to qsynth | 13:34 |
| brian_ | ok. | 13:34 |
| brian_ | do you connect Ardour to qsynth? | 13:35 |
| inahd | any other options, on the left side of the alsa tab? | 13:35 |
| brian_ | yes, 128:ardour. | 13:35 |
| brian_ | I don't think it is connected. | 13:36 |
| brian_ | And one the right hand side there is 130:fluidsynth. | 13:36 |
| inahd | there should be one for your midi keyboard on the left | 13:36 |
| inahd | try plugging it in again? | 13:37 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:37 |
| brian_ | it's greyed out. | 13:37 |
| inahd | what about in jack settings... selecting a midi device | 13:37 |
| inahd | i have 'seq' selected | 13:37 |
| brian_ | Maybe, where do you find jack settings? | 13:38 |
| inahd | setup button, settings tab | 13:38 |
| inahd | on the bottom right of the settings tab is a midi device option | 13:39 |
| brian_ | ok I see usr, share, sounds, sf2 | 13:40 |
| brian_ | on my left, nothing on my right. | 13:40 |
| brian_ | under sounds there is alsa, freedesktop,gnome,opl3,sf2 and ubuntustudio. | 13:41 |
| inahd | are you in the qsynth setup? | 13:43 |
| brian_ | yes | 13:43 |
| inahd | check the jack setup | 13:43 |
| inahd | there is a settings tab | 13:43 |
| brian_ | ok | 13:43 |
| inahd | on the bottom right is midi device | 13:43 |
| brian_ | found it, it says seq. | 13:43 |
| inahd | cool | 13:44 |
| inahd | well i am out of ideas | 13:44 |
| brian_ | Ok. again, thanks for everything. | 13:44 |
| inahd | maybe someone else can offer you better help | 13:44 |
| inahd | dont give up! | 13:44 |
| brian_ | Thanks | 13:44 |
| brian_ | take care, I am sure that I will see yo again sometime. | 13:45 |
| inahd | can anyone help me bring up seq24 in the alsa tab of jack? | 13:47 |
| inahd | starting it with --manual_alsa_ports used to work for me | 13:47 |
| khaz | Hi guys, I'm new to Ubuntu Studio (13.04) and I have a problem playing audio/video files when my Rocksmith cable is plugged in. How can I use my cable and play files at the same time? | 15:54 |
| khaz | and the computer becomes quite unresponsive when I just yank it out. I need to reboot now I guess | 16:00 |
| zequence | khaz: What are you using it with? jack? | 16:01 |
| khaz | So anyone knows? | 16:10 |
| DarkEra | khaz, zequence asked before you went for a reboot: What are you using it with? jack? | 16:14 |
| khaz | yes | 16:14 |
| khaz | jack and rakarrack | 16:14 |
| khaz | (I'm quite new to this whole music with computers) | 16:16 |
| khaz | but even when jack is not started, simply having the cable plugged in bar any multimedia file to play | 16:17 |
| zequence | khaz: Probably you need to use both your internal card and the cable at the same time with jack | 16:45 |
| zequence | khaz: I don't know much about that myself, but you could ask about it on #jack | 16:45 |
| khaz | thank you | 16:45 |
| zequence | maybe len-k knows? | 16:45 |
| Chrono_ | hello | 18:48 |
| Chrono_ | What is jackd2? | 18:49 |
| Chrono_ | I am receiving a option if I want to enable realtime process priority | 18:49 |
| Chrono_ | anyone there? | 18:52 |
| holstein | Chrono_: hello.. | 19:11 |
| holstein | Chrono_: do you need JACK? if you are not using it, i wouldnt bother installing it | 19:11 |
| Chrono_ | ah, heya holstein | 19:11 |
| holstein | enabling "realtime priority" is just that... if you are going to use JACK, for low latency audio, you would want to enable JACK for realtime process | 19:12 |
| holstein | there is no reason to not setup jack for realtime | 19:12 |
| Chrono_ | ah ok, just installed 12.04, new to linux, watched a video on it and it seems a lot of the applications are a bit out of date | 19:12 |
| holstein | if you are not running jack, it is not running.. so by selecting "set up with realtime" you are not harming anything | 19:13 |
| holstein | Chrono_: 12.04 is from april.. 2012 | 19:13 |
| zequence | Well, strictly speaking, there is no reason not to enable realtime for jack, unless you are worried about very unlikely security concerns | 19:13 |
| holstein | the ".04" is april.. the "12" is 2012 | 19:13 |
| zequence | That is the only reason the user is asked about it | 19:13 |
| holstein | the applications are from that time | 19:13 |
| holstein | Chrono_: if you want newer packages, get the newer release | 19:13 |
| holstein | Chrono_: i think you will find there is nothing too far out of date about 12.04 | 19:14 |
| zequence | But, answering yes while installing jackd is only one half of the enablement. User also needs to be a part of audio group | 19:14 |
| Chrono_ | how does changing versions with linux work? | 19:19 |
| Chrono_ | does it require a full reinstall? (going from 12.04 to 13.04? | 19:19 |
| holstein | Chrono_: you can upgrade.. or just reinstall | 19:19 |
| holstein | Chrono_: i find, an upgrade takes a few hours.. and an install takes about 15 minutes.. so i usually just keep my data backed up, and do fresh installs | 19:20 |
| Chrono_ | ah ok | 19:20 |
| holstein | Chrono_: you can also say "i find the version of x out of date in ubuntustudio 12.04" and we could discuss what that means, and how to "fix" that | 19:20 |
| holstein | !ppa | Chrono_ | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Chrono_: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 19:20 |
| Chrono_ | I have much to learn :-p | 19:21 |
| holstein | ^^ using ppa's is an easy way to add newer versions of packages, or packages that are *not* in the default repositories.. though, there can be issues (breakages, and since we dont provide the packages, we cant provide support) | 19:21 |
| holstein | OR, we can talk about officially backporting.. such as backporting fixes, or backporting things like ardour3 to 12.04 (which i dont think is going to specifically happen) | 19:22 |
| holstein | OR, in the case of ardour, you can go to the ardour site and download ardour3 (like i personally did for my 12.04 main studio rig) | 19:23 |
| Chrono_ | as a new user to linux, would you recommend I stay on 12 or go to 13? | 19:24 |
| holstein | Chrono_: i would recommend you look at your personal needs and decide what you want/need | 19:25 |
| holstein | there is no real compelling reason to strongly do either over the other | 19:25 |
| holstein | !12.04 | 19:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 19:26 |
| Chrono_ | !13.04 | 19:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.04 | 19:26 |
| holstein | the LTS, 12.04 version is supported for longer, and is stable, and the audio packages are older, but they are not drastically out of date | 19:26 |
| holstein | 13.04 is stable too, however.. but it will not be suppoted as long.. | 19:27 |
| holstein | i have 12.04 installed from 2012.. if i were installing a fresh rig today, i would probably go with 13.04.. since i will be installing 14.04 for sure | 19:27 |
| holstein | Chrono_: try them both live | 19:28 |
| holstein | install them both.. dual boot | 19:28 |
| Chrono_ | ok | 19:28 |
| Chrono_ | I have ran ubuntu 13.04 but didnt like how amazon is part of the OS (not sure what the studio version is like) | 19:29 |
| Chrono_ | I want an OS, not a shopping center :-p | 19:29 |
| holstein | Chrono_: sure | 19:29 |
| holstein | Chrono_: you are search about how to remove that, if you dont want it. or use a different DE, launcher, or software center/package manager.. or different distro | 19:30 |
| holstein | you can* | 19:30 |
| holstein | you can check out most of the linux distros live these days.. i usually just try them out before installing | 19:31 |
| zequence | Chrono_: It's very easy to disable that in Unity | 19:56 |
| zequence | Chrono_: I mean, the Amazon search results | 19:56 |
| zequence | But, what I find much more bothering is that your searches are being sent to Canonical | 19:57 |
| zequence | Also that can be disabled | 19:57 |
| zequence | None of these exist on Ubuntu Studio though | 19:57 |
| Chrono_ | good, that was my concern, is my privacy at risk | 19:57 |
| zequence | On Unity, you can just go to System Settings -> Privacy | 19:57 |
| zequence | From there you can disable both | 19:57 |
| zequence | We are thinking of adding Unity as one choice for Ubuntu Studio, but with these things disabled | 19:58 |
| Chrono_ | I'm looking at a large range of distro's, im a big time gamer and I know linux is limited, so I want to use linux for music and 3D Rendering | 19:59 |
| Chrono_ | Life for me has become a bit stagmid and decided to try something new | 19:59 |
