[01:39] <holstein> tatu: i suggest this
[01:39] <holstein> tatu: try jack with something you know works with jack.. the internal audio deivce, for example
[01:39] <holstein> could be, you have irq setting issues, or a "bad" chipset for the firewire that doesnt support linux..
[01:40] <holstein> i use the presonus firepod..
[01:40] <holstein> used to be, it was a real pain setting up firewire.. now, its pretty much "plug and play"
[01:41] <holstein> anyways, you can use "gksudo qjackctl" to troubleshoot permissions. though, you dont want to run it as root all the time..
[05:21] <studio-user232> is anyone home
[11:55] <tatu> 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] <tatu> 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] <Bernhard_L> Hello, do you mind listening to my track. I know I am far away from roots, and I am no real musician?
[15:00] <Bernhard_L> Someone told me it is like a xmas song. :-(
[15:00] <Bernhard_L> https://soundcloud.com/oslt/still-love-you-rude-gong-1
[15:23] <holstein> Bernhard_L: i like it
[15:23] <holstein> 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] <holstein> and the composition, as well
[15:24] <holstein> 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] <Bernhard_L> holstein, you make my day.
[15:24] <holstein> all/most midi represented, no vocals/lyrics.. etc
[15:24] <Bernhard_L> holstein, in fact, normally I don't compose with major chords.
[15:24] <holstein> i dont think its far from "roots", at all, considering the sounds, etc
[15:25] <Bernhard_L> holstein, maybe it is the bassline. That is different.
[15:26] <holstein> Bernhard_L: you have no bass ;)
[15:26] <Bernhard_L> holstein, I always make first an instrumental.
[15:26] <holstein> *if* you had a bass, and played it, and had played "roots" music in a band, it would sound like roots music..
[15:26] <Bernhard_L> holstein, with a good feeling I try to make a dub from it.
[15:26] <Bernhard_L> holstein, and a song.
[15:27] <holstein> *no* traditional roots music is made how you are making that track.. so, you are going to be fighting that basic difference
[15:27] <Bernhard_L> holstein, first making the riddim (drumline and bassline).
[15:28] <Bernhard_L> holstein, yes maybe the groove comes from playing a fender jazz bass in a real band.
[15:29] <Bernhard_L> holstein, far from reality from me.
[15:29] <holstein> exactly.. if you want a "band" sound.. you'll need a band
[15:29] <Bernhard_L> holstein, true, but it is a matter of mixing too.
[15:29] <holstein> not really
[15:29] <holstein> you wont "mix" a band sound into a midi realization..
[15:30] <Bernhard_L> holstein, the deejay might be the one that makes the scoop.#
[15:30] <Bernhard_L> holstein, no, what i mean is, that reggae is a matter of reverb and delay and other confusing effect chains.
[15:30] <holstein> its not
[15:31] <Bernhard_L> holstein, but you are the professional not me.
[15:31] <holstein> you *can* use those effects.. but, its not the base difference
[15:31] <holstein> 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] <Bernhard_L> holstein, I listened to a track of you yesterday, some bass and drums.
[15:32] <Bernhard_L> holstein, and to be black of course.
[15:32] <holstein> sure.. and im only suggesting that you *not* try and emulate some random band sound
[15:32] <Bernhard_L> holstein, smoking ganja.
[15:32] <holstein> i mean, they are already sounding like that
[15:32] <holstein> just make your own music
[15:32] <holstein> dont worry so much about emulating and making a fake band..
[15:32] <Bernhard_L> holstein, of course.
[15:33] <Bernhard_L> holstein, and done with ubuntustudio.
[15:35] <Bernhard_L> holstein, yesterday i listened to "in the clear".
[15:35] <Bernhard_L> holstein, I love it.
[15:36] <holstein> in the clear?
[15:36] <Bernhard_L> audio release of holstein.
[15:36] <holstein> oh.. cool.. thanks!
[15:36] <holstein> i think thats on "open"..
[15:37] <Bernhard_L> holstein, yes
[15:37] <holstein> i can make all of that available for sampling, or whatever
[15:37] <Bernhard_L> holstein, yes I thought about asking.
[15:38] <Bernhard_L> holstein, real instruments?
[15:38] <holstein> bass
[15:38] <holstein> upright bass..
[15:38] <holstein> actually, just one track
[15:38] <holstein> all of those can, assuming i remember, be performed live
[15:41] <Bernhard_L> holstein, mystical, some tracks.
[15:41] <holstein> Bernhard_L: cheers!
[15:41] <Bernhard_L> holstein, you helped me a lot in the past.
