| studio-user846 | Blue Yeti mic is not working on 13.04 or 13.10 what about 12.04.03- it seems to show as a yeti mic rather than other things on 12.04.03 but does it work? | 02:04 |
|---|---|---|
| evon | How do I turn my ubuntu 13.10 into ubuntu studio and how do I use my mbox with ubuntu? Thanks in advance for your help | 02:09 |
| studio-user846 | also it does not work on Fedora 19 | 02:09 |
| studio-user846 | I would use Synaptic to add the Ubuntu Studio packages | 02:10 |
| evon | thanks studio-user846 | 02:14 |
| evon | studio-user846 will i be able to use my Mbox afterward? | 02:14 |
| evon | i'm installing the audio and recording packages now | 02:14 |
| holstein | evon: you can use the mbox if it is supported | 02:26 |
| holstein | evon: ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, so nothing about our packages provides support for, or prevents the use of the mbox | 02:27 |
| holstein | !proaudio | evon | 02:27 |
| ubottu | evon: For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 02:27 |
| evon | I'm completely new to this so I don't even know where to start | 02:27 |
| holstein | you can read about trying and configuring JACK there | 02:27 |
| holstein | new to this, meaning new to linux? or linux audio? or computers? or recording? or IRC? | 02:28 |
| holstein | i suggest downloading the ubuntustudio iso.. dont install it, just try it live, and see how it works with your hardware | 02:29 |
| holstein | you have a device that hasnt promised you any linux support | 02:29 |
| holstein | is it a digidesign mbox? or avid mbox? | 02:30 |
| holstein | either way, i suggest taking a slower approach..i would use the internal sound card to get familiar with the software.. JACK, ardour.. whatever else you need/want | 02:30 |
| holstein | i would try ubunustudio live before installing. you can get used to the tools without "breaking" your machine or current install | 02:31 |
| holstein | i would read up on the tools and check a few places for device support such as http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main and ffado for firewire | 02:31 |
| holstein | keep in mind, ideally, it would be the same as with any other operating system and your device. the vendor would guarantee you it would work and show you how to use it. i use a presonus firepod which works out of the box | 02:32 |
| evon | New to audio and recording | 02:32 |
| holstein | there are handy communities such as #opensourcemusicians | 02:33 |
| evon | avid mbox | 02:33 |
| holstein | if its usb, it probably works just fine | 02:33 |
| evon | Yeah it's usb | 02:34 |
| evon | Alright I willl do some reading and try to figure this thing out. I got a professional mic and everything so I hope I can get it working | 02:34 |
| holstein | usually what makes a mic professional is the professional using it :) but , im confident you'll get it sorted | 02:35 |
| holstein | just take your time, and ask questions | 02:35 |
| evon | ok will do | 02:36 |
| evon | gotta restart the comp | 02:36 |
| evon | thanks for the help | 02:36 |
| evon | holstein i was able to record something but now the sound on my computer started working | 03:29 |
| evon | the right output device is chosen in my sound settings and it still doesn't work when I plug out my mbox | 03:30 |
| tucemiux | oh boh oh boh oh boy!!! the new ubuntu studio version looks awesome! | 06:01 |

| tj1 | Hi all, I am trying to install a driver for an audio interface (Gadget Labs Wave 824). I have to do it from source, and the README says to have /usr/src/linux be a symbolic link to the kernel headers. I've tried making that link to /lib/modules/../include/linux and the two in /usr/src/../include/linux but make still fails saying "no rule to make target 'modules'". can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? | 22:53 |
| holstein | tj1: are you sure you need to install a driver? | 23:06 |
| holstein | tj1: is it usb? | 23:07 |
| holstein | tj1: pci? | 23:07 |
| tj1 | no its really old, big PCI card and 8 ins and outs on a rackmount connected by a parallel cable | 23:08 |
| holstein | tj1: is the device physically installed? | 23:09 |
| tj1 | holstein: yes, with the rack unit turned on, it shows up in lscpci | 23:09 |
| holstein | if the device is old, and requires a driver, and the driver is old, and has no support for modern linux kernels, you can be out of luck.. | 23:10 |
| holstein | tj1: do you see the device in the terminal when you run "aplay -l" and/or "arecord -l" ? | 23:10 |
| tj1 | holstein: yeah, that's what i was afraid of. | 23:11 |
| holstein | tj1: no need to be afraid.. just test and read and confirm | 23:11 |
| tj1 | holstein: aplay -l does list two loopback devices with 8 channels each | 23:12 |
| holstein | tj1: "aplay -l" first.. do you see it? | 23:12 |
| holstein | tj1: thats good | 23:12 |
| holstein | tj1: have you tried just using the thing with JACK? | 23:12 |
| holstein | tj1: thats what i would do.. are you familiar with JACK? | 23:12 |
| tj1 | holstein: yeah, that's what i'm trying to use, I use cadence from the kxstudio repos | 23:12 |
| tj1 | holstein: but it doesn't come up in the alsa section as an in or out device | 23:14 |
| holstein | tj1: this is what i would do.. if you have limited experience with JACK, remove that card, get jack running on the internal device | 23:14 |
| holstein | get *anything* working reliably.. an audio file from audacious for example ..running all through JACK | 23:14 |
| holstein | then, go back and install that unit and in qjackctl, test with *all* devices listed | 23:15 |
| holstein | tj1: if you can disable or remove other audio cards, do so | 23:15 |
| holstein | tj1: if you cant get that working.. think about how much you can sell this device for online and how inexpensive others are that can replace it new | 23:16 |
| holstein | tj1: then, if you still want to troubleshoot, link me the driver you are looking into | 23:16 |
| holstein | http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Gadget_Labs is where i would start if it didnt just work | 23:18 |
| holstein | tj1: is this the driver you are talking about ? http://wavepro-driver.sourceforge.net/ | 23:19 |
| tj1 | holstein: yes that's the driver, i was just given this interface for free and wanted to see if it was salvagable, i have been using jack for a while now with another usb interface | 23:21 |
| holstein | tj1: i would salvage it by selling it, and taking the money and putting it towards something supported if it doesnt "just work".. but, thats just me | 23:22 |
| holstein | anyways, you'll contact the maintainer of that package directly for issues with it tj1 | 23:23 |
| holstein | http://sourceforge.net/projects/wavepro-driver/support | 23:23 |
| tj1 | k thanks | 23:23 |
