| OvenWerks | to the right of that there is a v and a > | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | click on the > and you should get a list that includes HDA probably. | 00:00 |
| OvenWerks | hw:PCH on mine | 00:01 |
| lucas__ | its set to default | 00:01 |
| lucas__ | should i change to hw:q25 | 00:01 |
| OvenWerks | no | 00:02 |
| OvenWerks | click on the > beside the box for a list | 00:02 |
| lucas__ | ok | 00:02 |
| lucas__ | that box is open | 00:03 |
| lucas__ | we are on output device correct? | 00:03 |
| OvenWerks | Assuming an Intel board the audio is probably some kind of HDA, but in my case that is hw:PCH, click on thethat | 00:03 |
| OvenWerks | no it is best to leave inout and ouytput device set to (default) | 00:04 |
| OvenWerks | just use Interface above that which sets both the same | 00:04 |
| lucas__ | k | 00:04 |
| lucas__ | for interface options i have hw:sb and hw:sb, 0 | 00:05 |
| OvenWerks | The first will do. | 00:06 |
| lucas__ | ok - switched | 00:06 |
| OvenWerks | The rest of the defaults are probably fine so click OK | 00:07 |
| lucas__ | ok done, now restart jack? | 00:07 |
| OvenWerks | The start button is on the top left :) | 00:07 |
| lucas__ | haha there it is! | 00:08 |
| lucas__ | ok jack is restarted | 00:08 |
| lucas__ | interface is set at hw:sb | 00:08 |
| OvenWerks | ok one more small step from the command line (terminal) | 00:08 |
| lucas__ | k | 00:09 |
| OvenWerks | a2j_control ehw start | 00:09 |
| lucas__ | k done | 00:09 |
| lucas__ | output | 00:09 |
| lucas__ | a2j_control ehw start | 00:09 |
| lucas__ | whoops | 00:09 |
| lucas__ | --- enable export of hardware ports | 00:09 |
| lucas__ | --- start | 00:10 |
| OvenWerks | (after it is running at least once this can be added to qjackctl config) | 00:10 |
| OvenWerks | yes that looks good. | 00:10 |
| OvenWerks | in qjackctl there is a connect button | 00:10 |
| lucas__ | i see it | 00:10 |
| OvenWerks | it opens a window that shows audio and midi | 00:10 |
| lucas__ | connections are open | 00:10 |
| OvenWerks | if you click the MIDI tab you should see a2j | 00:11 |
| lucas__ | yup, i see it | 00:11 |
| OvenWerks | if you click on expand at the bottom you should see your kb | 00:11 |
| lucas__ | yup, there it is | 00:12 |
| OvenWerks | Cool, now we can start ardour. | 00:12 |
| lucas__ | sweeet | 00:12 |
| lucas__ | ardour up and running | 00:13 |
| OvenWerks | track->addtrack | 00:14 |
| OvenWerks | change the type to midi | 00:14 |
| OvenWerks | and ok | 00:14 |
| OvenWerks | now you need to do two things | 00:14 |
| lucas__ | k... | 00:15 |
| lucas__ | track added | 00:15 |
| OvenWerks | connect your keyboard and select a softsynth | 00:15 |
| lucas__ | is that a sep. app from the start menu or is that in ardour? | 00:16 |
| OvenWerks | View->show editor mixer | 00:16 |
| lucas__ | k open | 00:16 |
| OvenWerks | it probably show master, you want to switch it to midi | 00:16 |
| OvenWerks | alt/down arrow will switch it | 00:17 |
| lucas__ | i have a track above that says master and one below that says midi 1 | 00:17 |
| OvenWerks | I mean in the mixer strip | 00:17 |
| lucas__ | k | 00:18 |
| lucas__ | in the mixer strip it is showing midi 1 | 00:18 |
| OvenWerks | ok | 00:18 |
| OvenWerks | does it have master on top of that | 00:18 |
| OvenWerks | Sorry, trying to rememebr what it looks like :) | 00:19 |
| lucas__ | no, does it need to? i can change with the alt command you told me | 00:19 |
| OvenWerks | no | 00:19 |
| lucas__ | your doing this from memory? your a rockstar | 00:19 |
| lucas__ | ok the mixer strip does not say master above midi 1 | 00:20 |
| OvenWerks | it should have the top part with the X in the corner then MIDI 1 right under and the box/button under that may be blank | 00:20 |
| OvenWerks | click on that box under MIDI 1 | 00:20 |
| lucas__ | ok - that one saus a2j | 00:21 |
| lucas__ | says* | 00:21 |
| OvenWerks | It should show two lines one for through and one for your kb. | 00:21 |
| OvenWerks | (pick your kb of course) | 00:22 |
| lucas__ | ok i think i got it | 00:23 |
| lucas__ | a green dot? | 00:23 |
| lucas__ | no way to send screen shots on IRC i assume ha | 00:23 |
| OvenWerks | let me look. | 00:24 |
| OvenWerks | Ya | 00:25 |
| lucas__ | ok - i have green dots on both midi thu and the q25 keyboard | 00:26 |
| OvenWerks | going down you should see a dark area with reasonable synth and fader | 00:26 |
| lucas__ | ok i see them | 00:26 |
| OvenWerks | If you play the kb do you get any activity? | 00:26 |
| lucas__ | yeah! | 00:27 |
| OvenWerks | Sound too? | 00:27 |
| OvenWerks | Should be pianoish | 00:27 |
| lucas__ | yup i am getting both :) | 00:27 |
| OvenWerks | OK, what you are hearing is reasonable synth which is a very basic synth with just the one sound | 00:28 |
| OvenWerks | It is there just so that there is some sound. | 00:28 |
| lucas__ | ok cool, i am getting input though that is great | 00:28 |
| OvenWerks | It is the box just above Fader | 00:28 |
| OvenWerks | you can replace that with another plugin that has more options :) | 00:29 |
| lucas__ | nice. so i can have a ton of different sounds hypothetically | 00:30 |
| OvenWerks | The calf Fluid synth would work for example (If its there 14.04 is two years old now) | 00:30 |
| OvenWerks | There are quite a few. | 00:30 |
| lucas__ | i think what i will do is update the os to the latest version so i am on top of the game | 00:30 |
| OvenWerks | End of april 16.04 will be coming out. | 00:31 |
| lucas__ | very cool | 00:32 |
| lucas__ | i really appreciate the help | 00:32 |
| lucas__ | some of the keys arent working consistently but this is a good start | 00:32 |
| OvenWerks | I do use 14.04 here but as I do some work on Ardour I self build latest from the ardour site. | 00:32 |
| OvenWerks | So I have ardour 4.7.* | 00:33 |
| lucas__ | so once i get my mixer back, i can add instruments via a microphone into ardour i assume? | 00:33 |
| OvenWerks | With audio tracks | 00:33 |
| lucas__ | cool | 00:34 |
| OvenWerks | You would plug in your other audio interface and setup qjackctl to use that | 00:34 |
| lucas__ | ok. damn I wish i had that here now, i could play around with this all night | 00:35 |
| lucas__ | this is gonna be a fun hobby :) | 00:35 |
| OvenWerks | Enjoy, if you have more questions, ask. you may have to wait a while for someone to answer as lots of us just leave IRC on if we are here or not | 00:38 |
| OvenWerks | so your answer may come soon or later. | 00:38 |
| lucas__ | ok man sounds good. again, thank you and have a good weekend! Im sure ill be on here asking more questions as I delv deeper down the rabbit hole | 00:38 |
| OvenWerks | lucas__: Not finding anything nice about the tascam us1800 and Linux. | 00:48 |
| lucas__ | hmmm.. | 00:48 |
| lucas__ | that aint good ha | 00:48 |
| lucas__ | any suggestions on a small interface? | 00:49 |
| OvenWerks | The thing that tipped me off is that OSx needs drivers. | 00:49 |
| lucas__ | yeah, my buddy uses pro logic when we record live | 00:50 |
| lucas__ | im sure he had to d/l some drivers to make it work | 00:50 |
| lucas__ | i need to find just a small 2 or 4 input interface for dinking around at home | 00:50 |
| lucas__ | ill have to do some research | 00:51 |
| OvenWerks | Ya, anything that just work with OSx should work with linux. | 00:51 |
| OvenWerks | They are called "class compliant" | 00:51 |
| OvenWerks | I notice the Tascam site says this is discontinued. | 00:52 |
| lucas__ | ok sounds good. shouldnt be too had to fine | 00:52 |
| lucas__ | find | 00:52 |
| lucas__ | im pretty exited that i am able to revice an older tower and do some basic stuff at home without having to spend an arm and a leg | 00:53 |
| lucas__ | fun little project | 00:53 |
| lucas__ | ill prob throw some more ram at this pc to get it as a fun idea pad | 00:54 |
| OvenWerks | If it has an actual sound card in it the line in might be ok with some small mixer or preamp. But two input mic/line/instrument USB interfaces are pretty easy to find. | 00:54 |
| lucas__ | that would probably be the route i would take. then i would have everything I need in the one box | 00:55 |
| lucas__ | what do you use? | 00:55 |
| OvenWerks | I have an older m-audio delta66 | 00:56 |
| OvenWerks | It requires a PCI slot :) | 00:56 |
| OvenWerks | I use a 199* Mackie CR1604 mixer for mic preamps. From back when Mackie had nice pre | 00:57 |
| lucas__ | very cool | 00:58 |
| OvenWerks | There aren't pci interfaces any more though you may find some 1010LT around. PCIe interfaces cost too much, so USB is it | 00:58 |
| OvenWerks | focusrite and presonus seem to be what people get. | 00:59 |
| lucas__ | yeah, i mean for what i want to do i think that is the way to go | 00:59 |
| lucas__ | presonus i was actually looking at | 01:00 |
| lucas__ | failing that, I have one of my dads old sony reel to reels. but its literally 75 lbs haha | 01:00 |
| OvenWerks | I use this for my wife's machine: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/615405-REG/ART_USBDUALPREPS_USB_Dual_Pre.html | 01:00 |
| lucas__ | oh man that may be perfect | 01:01 |
| lucas__ | with phantom power | 01:01 |
| lucas__ | nice | 01:01 |
| OvenWerks | It sounds pretty good so long as the gain is kept below the last notch | 01:01 |
| lucas__ | and the price is right - very cool | 01:01 |
| OvenWerks | The last notch seems to add a lot of noise. | 01:02 |
| OvenWerks | with anything that costs less there are things to watch out for. We run with a little less gain and it sounds good. Can always boost the level in the DAW anyway. | 01:04 |
| lucas__ | yeah, as long as you can boost it in post then it should be all good | 01:06 |
| OvenWerks | I got one of these when they were still around: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/art-usb-dual-tube-pre | 01:06 |
| OvenWerks | It sounds nicer (and cost more) even at higher gain. | 01:06 |
| pilne | is there still a market for basic all tube preamps? | 01:08 |
| lucas__ | i like the tubes. something about them that i feel cant be reproduced. | 01:09 |
| pilne | hrm... i've always liked them too, but unless they are kept in a studio nobody seems to really want to use them | 01:09 |
| OvenWerks | The one they replaced it with is a single channel. | 01:10 |
| lucas__ | i kinda like the color of this one. any thoughts? | 01:12 |
| lucas__ | http://bit.ly/1T25IyT | 01:12 |
| OvenWerks | Don't know from experience | 01:14 |
| OvenWerks | I normally take a laptop to the music store and test them before I buy | 01:15 |
| lucas__ | do you run linux on all your machines? | 01:15 |
| OvenWerks | since about 1995 | 01:15 |
| OvenWerks | I have used DRdos, OS/2 and then Linux | 01:16 |
| lucas__ | im learning as i go, grew up on windows machines mostly but learning the ins and outs of open source and command line is a great brain builder | 01:20 |
| OvenWerks | I started MIDI on an Atari ST. One of the best computers for sequencing at the time. | 01:30 |
| pilne | what do y'all do when you encounter a midi controller with windoze propritary software? | 01:34 |
| OvenWerks | pilne: look at the OSx spec. If it doesn't need a driver it is not a problem. | 01:35 |
| OvenWerks | pilne: there is lots of equipment out there it is not that hard to just pass over something that will not work. | 01:36 |
| pilne | i mean, like... the alphasphere's control software, that controller has really caught my eye as a mostly-failed drummer and habitual tapper | 01:36 |
| OvenWerks | pilne: the SW might not work, but in the end it is a MIDI controler and MIDI is MIDI. There are some interesting things that can be with PD and midi for example. | 01:38 |
| OvenWerks | but the alphasphere would likely work ok with hydrogen, drumgizmo, etc. | 01:39 |
| pilne | i'd just have to put a bit more brain-grease into getting it to switch pad profiles or something? | 01:39 |
| OvenWerks | Not sure. maybe a midirouter in between | 01:40 |
| pilne | and must say, ubuntu studio makes for a nice daily driver distro too, but that might be because i can pull all my normal ubuntu tricks over lol | 01:40 |
| pilne | cool | 01:41 |
| OvenWerks | pilne: studio is built on xubuntu for a lot of things | 01:41 |
| OvenWerks | Studio has a lowlatency kernel and some other system tweaks as well as lots of software. | 01:42 |
| pilne | the kmi controllers are also looking tempting (qunexus and queno) | 01:42 |
| OvenWerks | USB,MIDI OSC or CV. | 01:43 |
| pilne | for the moment usb until i get the desktop built with the tax refund | 01:44 |
| OvenWerks | Lots of choices. It doesn't say how it does OSC, so I assume over USB as well. | 01:45 |
| OvenWerks | OSC is normally network. | 01:46 |
| pilne | cool, i have tons to learn about digital music, i'm getting into it mostly to be able to create the compositions i hear in my head without having to find 2 or more similarly crazy "musicians" (i don't consier myself a musician... but i try! lol) | 01:48 |
| OvenWerks | I think music is a natural part of being human... even for the tone deaf. | 01:49 |
| pilne | it could arguably be a more universal language than numbers due to the wide variety of emotions it can express | 01:49 |
| OvenWerks | anyway, I need to go do some life :) Back later | 01:51 |
| pilne | adios | 01:51 |
| lucas__ | hasta luego - thanks again for the help. ill be back im sure for more input :) | 01:53 |
