| pangaea_ | hi all, i need some help | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pangaea_ | anyone out there??? | 01:01 |
| holstein | pangaea_: just ask | 01:02 |
| pangaea_ | cool ty | 01:03 |
| pangaea_ | so new to ubuntu, chose studio cause i write music, sick of magix, anyway jack has me totally lost, here's my delema ...jackxalsaxstudio, can't seem to tie in to get usb mic running | 01:05 |
| holstein | !proaudio | 01:05 |
| ubottu | For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 01:05 |
| holstein | pangaea_: what are you trying to do? maybe you dont need jack | 01:05 |
| pangaea_ | meai'm in adour and can't get mic | 01:06 |
| holstein | pulse audio has nice routing features | 01:06 |
| holstein | maybe you dont need ardour | 01:06 |
| holstein | pangaea_: do you need the mic in ardour? what are you trying to do? | 01:06 |
| holstein | jack is not trivial.. | 01:06 |
| pangaea_ | record acoustic | 01:07 |
| pangaea_ | i can lay down with audacity but no plug ins like drums....etc | 01:07 |
| holstein | pangaea_: you can "laydown" with audacity, and export to ardour, then | 01:08 |
| holstein | pangaea_: at your current level of config and skill | 01:08 |
| holstein | otherwise, just start learning jack | 01:08 |
| holstein | you can visit #opensourcemusicians | 01:08 |
| holstein | you basically use qjackctl to select the usb mic.. | 01:09 |
| holstein | in "setup".. there are a few drop down menus that will show your device, hopefully | 01:09 |
| holstein | pangaea_: you are able to use jack with your other device? not the mic? | 01:09 |
| pangaea_ | just audicity, i have a pro mic samson | 01:10 |
| holstein | pangaea_: ok | 01:11 |
| holstein | pangaea_: i suggest this.. unplug that mic | 01:11 |
| pangaea_ | i am copy and pasting advice to notes btw, | 01:11 |
| holstein | pangaea_: get used to jack, with i much simpler setup | 01:11 |
| holstein | pangaea_: dont try and record *anything*. just get jack running, on your internal audio device.. and play something from something simple like audacious | 01:11 |
| holstein | then, start ardour, and play something.. *then* record something into ardour.. *anything*... just not that mic yet | 01:12 |
| holstein | *then* after you got all that working, and stable, you can move on to the USB device.. and juggling the 2 devices in JACK | 01:12 |
| holstein | youll want to stop jack each time, and reconfigure for the usb mic, or the audio device you want to use for a monitor | 01:12 |
| holstein | you'll stop jack and all the jack apps close, and reopen | 01:13 |
| pangaea_ | so jack is app dependent, | 01:13 |
| holstein | pangaea_: no | 01:13 |
| holstein | pangaea_: the apps that use jack use jack. when jack goes away for configuration, or stops, they are not using jack anymore.. they just sit there | 01:13 |
| holstein | pangaea_: you'll be thinking its broken, and wondering why things arent working.. but, its just fine | 01:14 |
| pangaea_ | what i meant was jack has instances per app | 01:14 |
| holstein | you have to restart them | 01:14 |
| holstein | pangaea_: jack is just a server of sorts | 01:14 |
| pangaea_ | ahhhh | 01:14 |
| holstein | pangaea_: each app can connect to jack | 01:14 |
| pangaea_ | so think of it as float not an actual app | 01:15 |
| holstein | right.. jack is more like pulse, or alsa in that sense | 01:15 |
| pangaea_ | ok | 01:15 |
| holstein | if alsa crashed, you might have to restart the web browser for example | 01:15 |
| pangaea_ | man thanks your awesome!!!!! | 01:15 |
| pangaea_ | been there | 01:15 |
| pangaea_ | killed my hdmi input | 01:16 |
| holstein | pangaea_: well, lets get you making music, and we'll celebrate | 01:16 |
| pangaea_ | ok so one last question | 01:16 |
| holstein | ok | 01:16 |
| pangaea_ | what is the name of the jack i need to open when config, there is like 4 loaded by default | 01:16 |
| holstein | pangaea_: qjackctl is what i use | 01:17 |
| pangaea_ | let me see if it's there | 01:17 |
| holstein | pangaea_: there are other tools, but they are newer, and i havent used them much | 01:17 |
| holstein | the folks in #opensourcemusicians would know.. carla, or whatever | 01:18 |
| pangaea_ | got it, ok man thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i'm pretty good at production, magix, frooty loops, audacity, but adour looks like the way to go | 01:19 |
| holstein | pangaea_: it really is worth the investement of time | 01:19 |
| pangaea_ | as far as plug ins midi? you agree or...... | 01:19 |
| holstein | pangaea_: you mean, instrument? | 01:19 |
| holstein | pangaea_: nothing about linux or ubuntu is preventing anyone from releasing any instruments for the platform | 01:20 |
| pangaea_ | yeah, drum kits, bass synth....the ins | 01:20 |
| holstein | pangaea_: there are lots of nice open source options, as well as native linux commercial options | 01:20 |
| holstein | not sure if you will get your specific needs met or not | 01:20 |
| holstein | anyways, the folks in #opensourcemusicians do more of that. i do mostly acoustic | 01:21 |
| pangaea_ | i can do everything in magix, but tired of my recources getting killed by that dirty operating system | 01:21 |
| holstein | ok.. i gotta run.. but, please let us know how you get on with it.. | 01:21 |
| pangaea_ | ty ty ty ty | 01:21 |
| holstein | pangaea_: cheers and good luck | 01:21 |

| BlueMoon | hi | 05:55 |
| yorwos | hi every1 , my software updater today is including a patch called "get hot new stuff v3 library for kde platoform" , and i read its about sharing cababilities for kde applications. Still im using ubuntustudio 13.10 with xfce? i suppose , will i break something if i dont apply this patch ? im concerned about privacy (not that i have any problem , just in theory) | 12:13 |
| yorwos | same goes for "kross ui library" | 12:14 |
| yorwos | actually i can see i have alot of kde updates | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | yorwos why not just install kubuntu and then add the studio metapackages | 12:15 |
| zequence | yorwos: Some of the applications we distribute are KDE apps, and use KDE libs, so that is probably why | 12:15 |
| zequence | I think you should look at what that is, before you decide for yourself, and if you find it useful | 12:16 |
| yorwos | um no ty i dont plan to install kubuntu cause atm everything is so smooth with no problems | 12:27 |
| yorwos | ive tried studio 13.17 and another one but i didnt like em so much | 12:27 |

| yorwos | um ill try #blender or something | 12:46 |
| yorwos | got it L:D | 12:48 |
| letstrythis | so linux limits nice priorities, or it's actually a relation to proce schedualling time? | 20:27 |
| letstrythis | if it's not a software limit/govenor, then the speed of the system, heavily influences time spent on schedualing...there still must be something in linux that is configurable, to decrease the time spent schedualing things? | 20:30 |
