[01:39] tatu: i suggest this [01:39] tatu: try jack with something you know works with jack.. the internal audio deivce, for example [01:39] could be, you have irq setting issues, or a "bad" chipset for the firewire that doesnt support linux.. [01:40] i use the presonus firepod.. [01:40] used to be, it was a real pain setting up firewire.. now, its pretty much "plug and play" [01:41] anyways, you can use "gksudo qjackctl" to troubleshoot permissions. though, you dont want to run it as root all the time.. [05:21] is anyone home [11:55] thanks for reply.. figured out that its my firewire card. bad chipset as holstein said. do you recommend some card? Is via vt6315 chipset okay? someone said so at linuxmusicians [11:57] and no, didn't run as root better than normal user, tested yesterday, and yes runs with internal audio fine, tested that too, normally I do much work before asking help ... :D like 18h with some f*king thing that should just work out of the box ;D [15:00] Hello, do you mind listening to my track. I know I am far away from roots, and I am no real musician? [15:00] Someone told me it is like a xmas song. :-( [15:00] https://soundcloud.com/oslt/still-love-you-rude-gong-1 [15:23] Bernhard_L: i like it [15:23] i mean, im not personally into the style, or electronic sounds like that. but, i think you really, "objectively" did a *very* good job with that production [15:23] and the composition, as well [15:24] i think, personally, why its not seeming like "roots" to you and/or folks you play it for is because its so far from what that music is [15:24] holstein, you make my day. [15:24] all/most midi represented, no vocals/lyrics.. etc [15:24] holstein, in fact, normally I don't compose with major chords. [15:24] i dont think its far from "roots", at all, considering the sounds, etc [15:25] holstein, maybe it is the bassline. That is different. [15:26] Bernhard_L: you have no bass ;) [15:26] holstein, I always make first an instrumental. [15:26] *if* you had a bass, and played it, and had played "roots" music in a band, it would sound like roots music.. [15:26] holstein, with a good feeling I try to make a dub from it. [15:26] holstein, and a song. [15:27] *no* traditional roots music is made how you are making that track.. so, you are going to be fighting that basic difference [15:27] holstein, first making the riddim (drumline and bassline). [15:28] holstein, yes maybe the groove comes from playing a fender jazz bass in a real band. [15:29] holstein, far from reality from me. [15:29] exactly.. if you want a "band" sound.. you'll need a band [15:29] holstein, true, but it is a matter of mixing too. [15:29] not really [15:29] you wont "mix" a band sound into a midi realization.. [15:30] holstein, the deejay might be the one that makes the scoop.# [15:30] holstein, no, what i mean is, that reggae is a matter of reverb and delay and other confusing effect chains. [15:30] its not [15:31] holstein, but you are the professional not me. [15:31] you *can* use those effects.. but, its not the base difference [15:31] if you had a roots band, playing "unplugged" with acoustic instruments, you would still find they sound a lot like a roots band [15:31] holstein, I listened to a track of you yesterday, some bass and drums. [15:32] holstein, and to be black of course. [15:32] sure.. and im only suggesting that you *not* try and emulate some random band sound [15:32] holstein, smoking ganja. [15:32] i mean, they are already sounding like that [15:32] just make your own music [15:32] dont worry so much about emulating and making a fake band.. [15:32] holstein, of course. [15:33] holstein, and done with ubuntustudio. [15:35] holstein, yesterday i listened to "in the clear". [15:35] holstein, I love it. [15:36] in the clear? [15:36] audio release of holstein. [15:36] oh.. cool.. thanks! [15:36] i think thats on "open".. [15:37] holstein, yes [15:37] i can make all of that available for sampling, or whatever [15:37] holstein, yes I thought about asking. [15:38] holstein, real instruments? [15:38] bass [15:38] upright bass.. [15:38] actually, just one track [15:38] all of those can, assuming i remember, be performed live [15:41] holstein, mystical, some tracks. [15:41] Bernhard_L: cheers! [15:41] holstein, you helped me a lot in the past. [15:42] holstein, are u on soundcloud,too? [15:43] yeah.. but, i use it mostly for teaching.. [15:43] https://soundcloud.com/mike-holstein [15:43] holstein, howto find? [15:43] teaching and promotion.. [15:43] can be literally *anything* on there.. [15:44] sadly, soundcloud is also blocked in China [15:44] ok.. gotta run.. keep the hits coming, Bernhard_L [15:44] cfhowlett: its a handy tool :/ [15:44] i use it as kind of a notepad.. [19:26] bonsoir a tous [23:33] Thanks!!! [23:34] I'm new and happy user for ubuntu studio...
