[00:52] hola [01:08] hi [01:08] anyone around? [01:12] got a few ? [08:55] hi [08:55] cagritepebasili, hey. US is usually used for developing - it's for multimedia creation [08:57] cfhowlett, i realize that actually, but i mean is that all ? just multimedia creation ? [08:57] for instnse im a programmer so what can i get from US [08:58] cagritepebasili, it has everything the vanilla ubuntu has plus the multimedia creations apps overlaid on it [08:58] cagritepebasili, not much benefit if you are not a creator - unsure why you think there might be ... [08:58] dont get me wrong btw im a new in linux [08:58] cagritepebasili, OK try this: [08:59] cagritepebasili, dell has the xps13 developer edition laptop with the customized sputnik ubuntu ISO. [08:59] cagritepebasili, why not either install sputnik or add the sputnik packages to your ubuntu [09:00] why not u right [09:00] http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3687.software-dell-xps-13-laptop-developer-edition.aspx === max__ is now known as Guest6847 [23:19] is Ardour very buggy or is it just me? [23:21] TerranceWarrior: not here.. [23:21] ardour3? [23:23] is it ardour? or JACK? ...are you trying to push your hardware too hard? [23:26] thats what *she* said! :) [23:27] i had ardour working fine well what fine is to ardour. [23:27] TerranceWarrior: ? [23:27] exit, come back in again. poof no longer works. [23:27] TerranceWarrior: i use it all the time, friend.. its quite stable, and solid here [23:27] impossible to get going again. and I'm an ex software engineer. [23:27] maybe I should use the source code version? [23:27] TerranceWarrior: i mean, i dont consider it a compromise in any way.. i prefer it, and chose to use it [23:28] I am just using whatever is in the ubuntu colletion. [23:28] TerranceWarrior: i use the one from the repos, or the one from las on the site [23:28] i'll try the latest. [23:28] TerranceWarrior: sure.. try the one from las, if you like.. i just pay for the latest binary [23:28] i am so pissed today. nothing but trouble recording using sound recorder and then i find my new korg has 3 fucked up notes. [23:29] the resonance of them is terrible. [23:29] it's like a synth wrench in an otherwise good sound. all the others notes are fine. [23:29] TerranceWarrior: do try and keep in a family show in here. thanks [23:30] you should be able to adjust in whatever sequencer you are using [23:30] or, play it in off an octave, and avoid the bad keys [23:33] sorry [23:33] holstein: ha, what a hack! [23:34] TerranceWarrior: ? [23:34] it makes no sense to have some bad keys on a $1200 keyboard. [23:34] TerranceWarrior: you think its a hack to avoid the broken keys? [23:34] holstein: absolutely. [23:34] ok [23:34] well, replace them? [23:34] im not sure how to respond to that.. [23:34] your not listening, it's not the keys, it's the sound they generate. [23:34] i mean, fix it, replace it, or work around it.. [23:34] or deal with it [23:34] TerranceWarrior: i dont think so [23:35] TerranceWarrior: dont use that sound then.. or, see if you can go in and adjust some settings [23:35] shouldnt be that 3 notes in one sound setting in that unit is "bad" [23:35] holstein: yeah, i have to work more with it. but that is sound 00, the default! [23:35] What a hack! [23:35] maybe you edited them by accedient [23:35] accident* [23:35] holstein: maybe not. [23:36] TerranceWarrior: im not following you.. on "what a hack" [23:36] sounds like you have bad keys, or have edited the sound.. you can always just midi out from that unit, and see if the keys are effecting a sound that is not being gernerated from that unit [23:37] i am going to check the speakers. but i feel that the source is the sound generation in this Korg. [23:38] sure.. put on some headphones.. that'll rule out the speakers.. try another voice, and an external voice as well [23:38] i would think it's the korg [23:38] all other notes are fine and these notes are directly in the middle, the worst place for them to be. [23:39] fibz_: +1! [23:39] sure.. sounds like its the keys.. they get crap in them, or break [23:39] fibz_: i like you, you're reasonable. [23:39] you'll be able to tell by bypassing the internal voices [23:39] which sucks because im sure it wasnt cheap [23:40] the keys usually are.. under $20 US [23:40] for most models [23:40] i dont think it's the key ut the logic [23:40] yeah, you wouldnt.. but, it can be [23:40] the mechanism [23:40] i have a yamaha like that.. and i cleaned out a few alesis's like that recently [23:41] same deal... stuck on "loud" pretty much.. but, those were just dirty [23:41] but.. what do i know.. i just fix things when they are broken ;) [23:46] The D Key is terrible on headphones, the other ones got a bit better. [23:47] so, its likely not the speakers then [23:47] yamaha has terrible sound but they made decent grade hammer keys. [23:47] This is not funny, nor this is a joke. [23:47] probably either the logic boards or the keys/mechanism [23:47] thing is i have proof that it is really bad. [23:48] TerranceWarrior: im not joking, or laughing at you [23:48] TerranceWarrior: im not saying its not bad [23:48] TerranceWarrior: im suggesting what i think could be the issue.. but, i'll just leave you to it [23:48] worth breaking it down and taking a look, or just return if in warranty [23:49] ^yup.. it could be an easy clean to fix type thing.. [23:50] what else could I get in it features set or price range? [23:50] This is not good. [23:50] im not suggesting a replacement [23:51] id just fix that one [23:51] This happened to me 2 years ago with a Flamenco Yahmaha Guitar. [23:51] not likely... [23:51] guitars are quite different [23:51] i like roland [23:51] holstein: Can I borry your oscilliscope and chip making facilities? [23:51] anyways.. i would diagnose what the issue is.. and even if its a board, i would think about replacing it [23:51] fibz_: ok! :) Thats *something*. [23:52] casio has a good model but the keys are loud [23:52] All the other notes I love on this though. [23:52] Does this happen in the industry? [23:52] then, just use those [23:52] TerranceWarrior: yes [23:52] holstein: are you okay? [23:52] TerranceWarrior: it happens to *all* gear, at some point... they can all get dirty or break [23:52] holstein: you have in your mind that this is a mechanical problem. of which I'm not sure why. [23:53] TerranceWarrior: when i encountered the exact issue you are explaing on more than one keyboard, cleaning the mechanism repaired it [23:53] holstein: if you say so. [23:53] TerranceWarrior: because, as i stated, when i cleaned the mechanical mechanisem on more than one unit that had that exact issue, it addressed that issue [23:53] it's 7 days old! [23:53] TerranceWarrior: then, as already suggested, return it to the store [23:56] holstein: E.P. Mark V Distortion and those same keys are fine. [23:56] TerranceWarrior: ok. enjoy it then [23:56] TerranceWarrior: i would return it [23:56] It's a recording or electronic generation error. [23:57] TerranceWarrior: could be the distortion has different settings that equalize the sounds a bit more, and make the issue less obvious [23:57] TerranceWarrior: ok [23:57] I get the feeling it's a design issue. [23:57] holstein: are you new to music? [23:57] TerranceWarrior: no [23:57] TerranceWarrior: im a volunteer here [23:58] argh [23:58] TerranceWarrior: i also repair many instuments.. but, i'll just wait til you have a question, if you prefer [23:58] not happy. [23:58] there is also #opensourcemusicians [23:58] TerranceWarrior: i would just return it, and ask [23:58] fibz_: yes thank you.
