[11:35] <okechi> hi guys
[11:36] <NewToLin> what are staples to do after just installing ubuntu studio?
[15:26] <pars> hello my audio not working
[19:03] <OvenWerks> holstein: I have some questions about the FW audio IF you use. Model, i/os, lowest latency, etc.
[19:03] <holstein> OvenWerks: sure
[19:03] <holstein> OvenWerks: TBH, it seems latency has gone up. but, it has seemed to be a tradeoff
[19:04] <holstein> like, *no* issues with the open nvidia driver at all, anymore.. works like a charm, out of the box
[19:04] <holstein> i really dont "need" the nvidia hardware, but i want to faciliate dual head
[19:06] <holstein> OvenWerks: i have the presonus firepod.. thats the only FW audio device i have right now.. though, i had for a moment the inspire
[19:06] <holstein> the inspire seemed to start with jack the same, but, it needed a mixer that was software based
[19:14] <OvenWerks> holstein: which fw card do you use?
[19:15] <holstein> OvenWerks: i actually have a few TI chipsets im hanging on to
[19:15] <holstein> they work great.. i have one that works well that is *not* TI. but, i just got lucky pulling it from some other hardware
[19:15] <OvenWerks> I had heard TI was the one to get.
[19:15] <holstein> OvenWerks: well, i have tried *many* cards, and i have never had issues with a TI under linux
[19:16] <holstein> OvenWerks: but, i have had "good" (just as good) support with a few others
[19:16] <holstein> its usually not that much more to get one that specifies its TI online
[19:17] <holstein> OvenWerks: i got one (an express card) locally, that i was promised i could return if it didnt work, or have a TI chipset
[19:17] <OvenWerks> I try to do those kinds of things... take my machine to the store and try it there...
[19:17] <holstein> yup.. thats ideal
[19:18] <holstein> i didnt have it with me at the time.. or they probably would have let me try it in the store
[19:18] <holstein> anyways, it worked fine, and i think it was like $60 us?
[19:18] <OvenWerks> Music stores are generally ok with that, but computer stores not so much.
[19:18] <holstein> i could probably have messed about and got something that worked for under $40.. but, i think that guarantee that i can return was worth something
[19:19] <OvenWerks> Yup.
[19:19] <holstein> OvenWerks: this was a smaller shop.. though, i do the same at bestbuy.. i'll ask.. sometimes they are odd about it..
[19:19] <OvenWerks> Did I tell you I got a new bass?
[19:20] <holstein> OvenWerks: nope! thats cool!.. what did you get?
[19:20] <OvenWerks> Ibanez Portamento SRF705
[19:20] <holstein> nice.. i have and have had ibanez.. they are always a good value
[19:20] <OvenWerks> 5 strings and frettless
[19:20] <holstein> tobacco looking sunburst?
[19:21] <OvenWerks> something like that
[19:21]  * holstein watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bm9F3GFnik
[19:21] <holstein> i like the matte looking finish
[19:22] <OvenWerks> I do to. I like the pickup under the bridge too.
[19:22] <holstein> right?
[19:22] <holstein> thats cool
[19:22] <holstein> you use that much?
[19:22] <OvenWerks> But the 5 strings shows the lack of bottom in my amp :)
[19:22] <holstein> well, its always something.. for sure.
[19:22] <OvenWerks> I use it a lot, I normally mixing a bit of neck fo bottom though
[19:23] <holstein> nice! that thing sounds cool in that video.. congrats
[19:23] <OvenWerks> It makes up for using flat wound strings
[19:24] <OvenWerks> It is much more playable than the squire with the frets ripped out.
[19:24] <holstein> ah.. that makes sense
[19:24] <OvenWerks> The finger board is a lot harder I think.
[19:24] <OvenWerks> The notes sustain really well
[22:03] <ddole> boo
