| Tooncenator | holstein - well not so fast. :( Unfortunately I had not yet tried video playback with jack running. I'm almost there with config, but video keeps freezing after about 8 seconds when I try playing it while jack is turned on. Furthermore, I can't actually hear any audio during playback either. As soon as I stop the jack server, everything is good. | 02:59 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Tooncenator: jack doesnt to video.. you shouldnt need it | 03:00 |
| holstein | what are you trying to playback? and why? and why are you using jack? | 03:00 |
| holstein | if you dont need, jack, dont use it, and as you say, all will be good | 03:01 |
| Tooncenator | Just trying to watch video tutorials on youtube as I learn how to use Ardour. | 03:01 |
| holstein | Tooncenator: sure.. but, you dont *need* to do that, and i would expect issues | 03:01 |
| Tooncenator | so i'll just have to remember to stop jack when viewing. No problem. :-) You 'da man! | 03:01 |
| holstein | i am able to route pulse audio sources through jack, using the included jack dbus,but, i personally disable that | 03:01 |
| Tooncenator | keeping things simple for now is good for me. | 03:02 |
| holstein | you should see, in qjackctl, in "connect" pulse audio sources that you can route to your jack output on the right side | 03:02 |
| holstein | in the audio tab | 03:02 |
| Tooncenator | it's routed to both playback channels on the right | 03:04 |
| Tooncenator | i should specify 'system' output on the right | 03:04 |
| holstein | thats how i would do it.. i would then, isolate and test, as i said before | 03:06 |
| holstein | Tooncenator: its quite challenging, since, you could literally be the only person with that exact hardware tyring to use jack | 03:06 |
| Tooncenator | ok thanks. for now, i'll work around it like you originally suggested. | 03:06 |
| holstein | Tooncenator: i cant, for example, just look in my system, and tell you exactly what to do to make the functionality you want | 03:07 |
| Tooncenator | lol...that is quite true! | 03:07 |
| Tooncenator | gotcha | 03:07 |
| holstein | so, i will do this isolation and testing on *every* system i encounter | 03:07 |
| holstein | til i see how linux/alsa/jack are on the hardware | 03:07 |
| Tooncenator | in your experience, is latency of 46 msec good or bad? | 03:08 |
| holstein | latency is neither good nor bad. it just is the time it takes for audio to process | 03:09 |
| Tooncenator | ok - but it shouldn't affect live track layering - to use computer as both playback and record at the same time? | 03:10 |
| holstein | there are *only* 2 reasons for low latency.. software instruments, samplers.. realtime synths, as an instrument.. *or*, realtime effects.. such as adding a reverb in "realtime" to a guitar, on the way in the computer, for example | 03:10 |
| holstein | *if* i need low latency, for either of those, i need 8ms.. | 03:10 |
| holstein | maybe, i can tolerate 12 | 03:10 |
| Tooncenator | ok | 03:10 |
| holstein | i test that, again, by actually using my ears, and seeing what works | 03:10 |
| holstein | i set the settings, i route, i listen.. i either can use it, or not | 03:10 |
| holstein | you'll have to decide what works for you.. i can do 5ms stable, so i do *when* i want/need low latency | 03:10 |
| holstein | otherwise, i set my system at quite high latency, since, its not making anything any "better".. | 03:11 |
| holstein | you dont get "better" recordings, or sound, or anything, from setting the latency lower | 03:11 |
| Tooncenator | gotcha. thx | 03:11 |
| holstein | if you want to overdub, or "layer" tracks, the latency *should* be corrected | 03:11 |
| holstein | automatically, even. though, i have found that a bit unreliable, personally, so i suggest trying that for yourself, as well | 03:12 |
| Tooncenator | ok - will do. | 03:12 |
| Tooncenator | holstein - if you ever travel to Colorado, I owe you a beer - or two. :) | 03:14 |
| holstein | lol | 03:14 |
