| yorwos | guyz , i will be doing some recordings next week i havent done any for some time , would u recommend real time kernel over low latency ? im using ubuntu studio 14.04 | 06:49 |
|---|---|---|
| zequence | yorwos: Are you doing any software monitoring? | 07:18 |
| yorwos | um software monitoring ? ill be recording guitars in ardour | 07:19 |
| yorwos | drums from hydrogen | 07:20 |
| yorwos | ill be watching to get no peaks if that u mean as monitoring ? | 07:20 |
| zequence | yorwos: By monitoring, I mean, how are you listening to the input audio? | 09:31 |
| zequence | software monitoring means: microphone -> sound device -> computer (ardour) -> sound device -> speakers | 09:32 |
| zequence | for that, you need low latency | 09:32 |
| zequence | since the audio passws through the computer before it gets to your monitors (speakers) | 09:32 |
| zequence | Hardware monitoring means something like: microphone -> mixer -> speakers | 09:33 |
| zequence | Sound devices often have builtin mixers | 09:33 |
| yorwos | well it will be mic -> sound card -> ardour | 09:33 |
| yorwos | it is so loud i only listen after recorded | 09:34 |
| zequence | Ok, so you are not monitoring at all | 09:34 |
| yorwos | i do get feedback from metronome or drums though on headphones | 09:34 |
| yorwos | yea | 09:34 |
| zequence | You don't need low latency then | 09:34 |
| zequence | Which means, you could probably record using linux-generic | 09:35 |
| yorwos | thnx zequence | 09:35 |
| zequence | in jack settings (qjackctl), make sure you have a fairly big buffer size | 09:35 |
| zequence | 1024 is ok | 09:35 |
| zequence | linux-lowlatency is your best choice | 09:36 |
| zequence | If you ever want to record a software synthesizer, you will have no choice but to do software monitoring | 09:36 |
| zequence | IN that case, you will have to lower the buffer size, to get lower latency. The lower the latency, the bigger chance for audio dropouts (xruns) | 09:36 |
| zequence | qjacktl calls the buffer size "frames/period" | 09:37 |
| zequence | 64 frames/period is often enough for decent software monitoring | 09:37 |
| zequence | If your setup can't handle that without xruns, you might need to look at getting a realtime kernel | 09:38 |
| zequence | YOu only need low latency for live processing, which is what you do when software monitoring. | 09:38 |
| yorwos | i am using 256/48000/3 so far but i havent done any huge scale projects usually 2 channels each being recorded solo | 09:42 |
| caden | 14minecraft | 19:38 |
