[02:54] <BlitzOColour> hi channel, I just fixed my fiancees computer so she could record her jazz music. well okay, I fixed it so that she would stop using my computer all the time. anyway, she is absolutely terrible with computers. when first I saw her computer, it was full of spyware, malware, adbots, trackers, and loaded with shit programs half of which were installers for fucked up trojans and shit. so in other words, she is really, really, 
[02:54] <holstein> !language > BlitzOColour
[02:54] <holstein> BlitzOColour: welcome to the channel.. let us konw if you have any questions
[02:55] <BlitzOColour> okay. sure. after fixing it all up, it still hangs randomly. Windows 7, huh?
[02:55] <BlitzOColour> I was thinking about setting her up with an ubuntu studio install
[02:55] <BlitzOColour> how stupid an idea is this? Considering her... technological shortcomings?
[02:55] <holstein> depends on many thing
[02:55] <BlitzOColour> Or, alternateively, I will be pleased to find out that ubuntustudio is designed with musicians in mind, and it will be great and I won't be 24/7 tech support anymore?
[02:56] <holstein> things*
[02:56] <holstein> i say, you dont need ubuntustudio.. or she doesnt
[02:56] <BlitzOColour> why do you say this?
[02:56] <holstein> i would say, a simpler xubuntu or lubuntu setup with audacity would likely be plenty
[02:57] <holstein> you can get, in windows 7, audacity, and firefox or chrome, and libreoffice going.. (as well as other "crossover" applications"
[02:57] <BlitzOColour> last time I used audacity, it was a somewhat terrible programme that came nowhere near close to the pro-tools and such of its time
[02:57] <holstein> get her using those them move to linux
[02:57] <holstein> BlitzOColour: its not to address the workflow of protools
[02:57] <holstein> BlitzOColour: a person on the technical level you mention above shouldnt be using protools
[02:58] <holstein> BlitzOColour: if she is, then, we can have a different conversation
[02:58] <BlitzOColour> no, she's using presonus' studioOne2
[02:58] <BlitzOColour> or maybe reaper
[02:58] <BlitzOColour> but she is not using them well, yet.
[02:58] <holstein> BlitzOColour: protools is a full featured DAW (digital audio workstation).. we have many of those in linux.. but,  they are, as is protools, not trivial
[02:58] <BlitzOColour> still, isn't audacity for hobbyists and amateurs? She is a professional, working musician
[02:59] <holstein> audacity is a simple recorder.. which does that
[02:59] <holstein> you hit a button, and record
[02:59] <holstein> we have many apps like thatas well.. but, you dont need ubuntustudio for them
[02:59] <holstein> BlitzOColour: im a proffessional working musician
[02:59] <holstein> BlitzOColour: recording my music rarely comes up
[03:00] <holstein> BlitzOColour: and, if it did, i could use audacity to record my music..
[03:00] <BlitzOColour> so what is the advantage of using ubuntustudio over xubuntu? For people who want to code and write drivers?
[03:00] <holstein> BlitzOColour: the advantage is, all of the software is included
[03:00] <holstein> BlitzOColour: the drivers are not as they are in windows
[03:00] <cfhowlett> BlitzOColour, ubuntustudio = ubuntu + xfce + media creation packages
[03:00] <holstein> BlitzOColour: the linux kernel is modular, and the drivers are included
[03:02] <holstein> BlitzOColour: lots of folks using repear were just excited about this release
[03:02] <holstein> https://www.bitwig.com/en/home/recent-news.html
[03:02] <holstein> they have a linux version now
[03:02] <holstein> if you wanted, you would be able to purchase that and run in on linux/xubuntu/ubuntustudio
[03:03] <holstein> though, we have many tools that are professional grade
[03:03] <holstein> and "maintaining the operating system" is different than it is in windows
[03:04] <holstein> you reallly just need to keep up to date with upgrades, and you dont have the same attacks as a windows machine would, at a default level
[03:04] <BlitzOColour> after a year of buying nord electros, looping pedals, software distros, and other crap that musicians claim they need, I am not going to pay any more than $60.00 for software
[03:05] <holstein> BlitzOColour: and, as im saying, you dont 'Need' to..
[03:05] <holstein> BlitzOColour: im just offering scenarios that fit what you have asked for
[03:05] <holstein> BlitzOColour: can a musician use these tools in ubuntustudio to create professional audio? sure.. i do
[03:05] <holstein> BlitzOColour: but, thats not the question
[03:05] <BlitzOColour> Yes. I'll try and repair the windows install and if I fail, consider an ubuntustudiop install. thanks for letting me know what it can do
[03:05] <holstein> BlitzOColour: we have a live CD that can be used to test everything
[03:05] <holstein> BlitzOColour: yo udont have to install the OS to try it
[03:06] <holstein> http://holsteinmusic.com/ for example is my projects i do as a professinall musician, in my own studio, with these tools
[03:07] <holstein> you can always dual boot both windows and linux as well
[03:08] <BlitzOColour> cool. thanks for the examples and info
[03:08] <holstein> cfhowlett: folks seem surprised when you dont give them the answer they want to hear, i suppose
[03:09] <cfhowlett> holstein, it's IRC; just saying "hello" is highly offensive to someone
[03:09] <holstein> "just download it, and rainbows and puppy dogs will automatically record her music".. is probably more what he hoped for
[03:09] <holstein> cfhowlett: lol.. true
[03:09] <cfhowlett> holstein, puppy dogs, automastering and marketing : FREE!
[03:10] <holstein> :)
[04:06] <jrry> hi
[04:06] <holstein> o/
[04:07] <jrry> need so help with jackd
[04:07] <holstein> sure.. ask for help with anything
[04:08] <jrry> I am run studio and lrxicon alpha get d:buss error
[04:08] <holstein> the lexicon omega is plug and play for me
[04:09] <holstein> i use qjackctl, and select the device from the drop down, and run jack
[04:09] <jrry> will work on second laptop
[04:10] <holstein> jrry: ok. so, you either have the configuration wrong, or you got bad or unsupported USB hardware.. or irq issues that are quite severe
[04:10] <jrry> it will work with internal audio but not with lexicon
[04:10] <holstein> i would fire up a live CD on the problematic hardware, and see if i could get it working
[04:11] <holstein> jrry: sure, and that supports the "bad usb", or unsupported usb hardware theory
[04:11] <holstein> the internal is not usb.. so, JACK is working with it
[04:11] <holstein> jrry: you can try disableing the dbus
[04:11] <holstein> jrry: its under the "misc" tab in qjackctl
[04:14] <jrry> did not work
[04:16] <jrry> jackd server is not responing

[18:48] <delt> Hello
[18:49] <delt> just wondering about this - on my laptop, installing the nvidia drivers resulted in the nice "linux for creative humans" spinning logo gone, and a textmode screen with 4 flashing dots instead.
[19:13] <delt> same just happened on this desktop box after installing the nv drivers... just wondering why =)
