| UncleJed | hello...is there a more specific channel for audio help for studio, or is this kind of the general place for it all? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | UncleJed: this is the place.. | 00:46 |
| UncleJed | In particular I just need a little direction for configuring my qjackctl....having issues with video freezing when jack is on. | 00:47 |
| holstein | UncleJed: relax the latency settings | 00:47 |
| UncleJed | wow...i hope it's that easy! lol. I'm pretty new to linux - so have been doing A LOT of google-ing and learning a ton! I'll give that shot. | 00:48 |
| holstein | relax it a lot | 00:49 |
| holstein | like, 50+ ms latency, and test | 00:49 |
| holstein | you are likely just expecting too much from the hardware | 00:49 |
| holstein | you can, as i have found, try different GPU drivers.. this can help as well | 00:49 |
| holstein | can also make it drastically worse | 00:49 |
| UncleJed | haha...ok. Just as an FYI. I'm using an M-Audio Fastrack Pro box and followed some guy's direction on manually editing the driver file..so it's all nuts and bolts. | 00:50 |
| UncleJed | I'll try those things. Thanks for your help holstein! | 00:50 |
| holstein | manually editing what driver file? | 00:50 |
| holstein | you shouldnt have a driver for that device, necessarily | 00:50 |
| holstein | should "just work". with the kernel drivers included | 00:51 |
| UncleJed | it's been a few months since i did it..let me find the page. just a sec. | 00:51 |
| holstein | anyways, if you want to be certain, and isolate your changes, you can use a live iso | 00:51 |
| holstein | this will remove any customizations you have done from the equation without breaking your current setup | 00:51 |
| UncleJed | http://joegiampaoli.blogspot.com/2011/06/m-audio-fast-track-pro-for-debian-linux.html | 00:52 |
| holstein | you really shouldnt need to do anything like that | 00:53 |
| holstein | and you dont have an rt kernel | 00:53 |
| holstein | if you want, test with the live iso, as i said. and see if its "better" | 00:53 |
| holstein | try the latest 15.04 live iso, and see | 00:53 |
| holstein | also, i like to use the AVlinux live iso, since its a much older kernel | 00:53 |
| UncleJed | ok - will give it a shot. Thanks again! | 00:53 |
| holstein | this will let you see what is possible without breaking anything you current have, assuming just relaxing the latency settings doesnt address what you want | 00:54 |
| UncleJed | okie-doke | 00:54 |
| UncleJed | well that didn't work. That walk-through had me change a lot of things. And I had toyed with a bunch of stuff before that. I think, given my inexperience with linux, I may just wipe the drive and start over. | 03:03 |
| UncleJed | It's just weird. Videos were working fine before I messed with things in the system config, but Ardour would not recognize the m-audio box (or jack wouldn't). that's what led me to the walk-through. Now audio works great through the box for working with Ardour, but as soon as I try playing video with other software (firefox or the default video player) it freezes. Furthermore, if I stop the jack service, I get audio from them, b | 03:09 |
| UncleJed | ut it sounds extremely peaked - like input levels are over the top. and it's extremely loud. I have to turn all my knobs almost all the way down - and it still sounds the same. | 03:09 |
| UncleJed | ...guess that's what I get for jackin' with jack. lol | 03:10 |
| UncleJed | ...off to bed for now. | 03:10 |
| UncleJed | wait...noticed you said I don't have RT kernel. Guess I thought that was part of the point in getting ubuntu studio - that it WAS real-time. *scratches head* I've got a lot to learn. | 03:53 |
| Unit193 | !info linux-image-lowlatency | 03:54 |
| ubottu | linux-image-lowlatency (source: linux-meta): lowlatency Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.16.0.34.35 (utopic), package size 2 kB, installed size 29 kB | 03:54 |
| UncleJed | If I understand right, what you just indicated was the it's an optional install with studio. How do I check to make sure I did that when I installed everything? It's been so long, i can' remember. | 04:08 |
| UncleJed | oh wait....I think i can see it with syanptic | 04:09 |
| UncleJed | looks like i have 3.13.0.49.56 | 04:11 |
| UncleJed | ...alright i have to get to bed now.....will continue later. thanks everyone for your patience and input. :-) | 04:12 |
| OvenWerks | UncleJed: Studio comes with lowlatency kernel | 04:18 |
| OvenWerks | not RT | 04:18 |
| OvenWerks | but it includes most of what RT does. | 04:18 |
| OvenWerks | The main good thing about lowlatency is that the graphics drivers all still work. | 04:20 |
| OvenWerks | I have gotten stable audio operation down to .66ms with it. (32 samples per buffer) | 04:21 |
| OvenWerks | With a USB audio IF you should still be able to get to 128 or below. (128 with two channels, less with more) | 04:23 |
| UncleJed | ah....gotcha. alright. think i'm just going to blast HDD and start over then. I've messed with a lot of stuff i have no idea how to reverse. | 04:29 |
| studio-user752 | где я?)) | 19:23 |
