[15:58] Hi everyone. I've just downloaded the calf plugin pack. can anyone please help me installing it? [16:18] caodepalha: did you apt-get them? [16:18] caodepalha: sudo apt-get install calf-plugins [16:18] !info calf-plugins [16:18] calf-plugins (source: calf): pack of audio plugins - effects and instruments. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.0.19-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 15589 kB, installed size 27350 kB [16:19] i got them from sourceforge [16:19] caodepalha: then, sourceforge or the content creator will tell you how to install them [16:19] caodepalha: otherwise, use the package in the repos.. sudo apt-get install calf-plugins [16:19] caodepalha: if you find you need a different/newer version, we can talk about what that might look like.. [16:19] I still didn't figure out how to install tar.gz archives [16:20] caodepalha: install them from the repos.. *not* from the tar.gz [16:20] caodepalha: open a terminal.. type... "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install calf-plugins" [16:21] caodepalha: or, use the package manager of your choice to search for and install calf-plugins [16:22] i got this: [16:22] This APT has Super Cow Powers. [16:22] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [16:22] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [16:22] caodepalha@caodepalha:~/Desktop/calf-0.0.19$ [16:32] caodepalha: close *everything* [16:32] caodepalha: open *just* a terminal and run.. [16:33] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install calf-plugins [16:35] it say calf-plugins is already the newest version [16:35] says* [16:39] caodepalha: then, they are installed [16:39] caodepalha: you open something that supports the plugins, and they will be there [16:39] caodepalha: they dont do much on their own.. [16:41] I know. the thing is i see the plugins working on ardour and i've been through ardour and cant find them anywhere. sorry i said the name wrong. its the calf studio gear [16:41] caodepalha: then, the are insatlled, and working.. if you see them in ardour [16:42] caodepalha: if you are using something else, then maybe that something else doesnt support the plugins [16:42] caodepalha: you have them installed. the question to ask is "how do i make the unmentioned application support the installed calf plugins" [16:42] I meant I cant [16:43] one answer for us is always, assuming jack support, you route thorugh jack [16:43] caodepalha: if you cant, you cant [16:43] caodepalha: then, theres nothing to talk about [16:43] caodepalha: if both things support JACK, which we know we can find a host for the plugins in jack, then you can use JACK [16:44] ok. but i guess they are not in the system. the pack doesnt come by default with ubuntu. dont i need to install it or compile? [16:45] i managed to do it with bristol. i just cant with calf studio gear somehow [16:46] caodepalha: if you see them in ardour, the *are* in the system [16:46] caodepalha: if the "system" says to you "they are already installed", then they are already installed [16:46] caodepalha: do you see them in ardour? [16:50] in ardour i dont see a calf plugin pack. instead i have alot of calf plugins but they layout is nothing like the layout of the calf studio gear plugins [16:50] caodepalha: those *are* the plugins [16:50] their layout* [16:51] they look nothing like the plugins.. [16:51] caodepalha: they may not be the plugins you are trying to use [16:51] ok let me check [16:53] ok [16:53] i feel a "bit" dumb now [16:53] caodepalha: http://sourceforge.net/projects/calf/files/ is likely what you are talking about [16:53] thank you [16:53] just found them [16:53] you shouldnt feel "dumb".. its not easy [16:54] I really though they we're not in the system and been trying to install them [16:55] they where already there [16:55] caodepalha: they should be.. but maybe you are looking for something not provided [16:55] thank you man [16:56] no worries :) === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat
