| pilne | if one is generally comfortable in ubuntu, is there any reason to not use the non-lts releases? | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| krytarik | pilne: Other than obviously having to upgrade more often, not really. | 00:25 |
| pilne | very cool, tyvm | 00:45 |
| kourck | anyone around that can help do a little bit of troubleshooting with guitarix and jack? | 02:05 |
| studio-user101 | hi | 18:41 |
| studio-user101 | installation is terribly slow | 18:41 |
| studio-user944-o | hello there... testing installation on USB semi SSD 130Mbit SanDisc Ultra Fit for performance test | 18:44 |
| njh_ | am I allowed to ask a std ubuntu audio question here, or do I need to install ubuntustudio first? | 22:15 |
| njh_ | I have 15.10, and mainstream apps like totam vlc and rhythmbox work fine, but audacity stutters and dies | 22:16 |
| === mihai is now known as dumycs | ||
| OvenWerks | njh_: whatever you ask is fine | 23:09 |
| OvenWerks | ubuntu is ubuntu :) | 23:10 |
| njh_ | but can you help me? | 23:11 |
| OvenWerks | Having said that, I have not spent much time on 15.10. Audacity is not one my high use applications as I do most of my recording editing with Ardour or mhwaveedit. | 23:11 |
| njh_ | normally I use jack | 23:11 |
| njh_ | but it's annoying | 23:11 |
| OvenWerks | jack and audicity do not get along that well | 23:12 |
| njh_ | so I was hoping to use it with pulseaudio | 23:12 |
| njh_ | well, I was using audacity as a proxy for portaudio | 23:12 |
| njh_ | which gets the same error | 23:12 |
| OvenWerks | any time I have used audacity I end up using it with PA. | 23:12 |
| njh_ | (portaudio, not pulseaudio) | 23:12 |
| OvenWerks | yes audacity uses portaudio to talk to whatever. | 23:13 |
| OvenWerks | it does that so it can work on win/OSx/pulse/alsa/jack | 23:14 |
| njh_ | yeah | 23:14 |
| njh_ | so I'm writing a realtime synth | 23:14 |
| njh_ | and I'm just trying to find a non-painful way to write lowlatency audio in off the shelf ubuntu | 23:14 |
| OvenWerks | ok, not with audacity though | 23:15 |
| njh_ | portaudio seems like a good start. but this underrun problem has got me stumpped | 23:15 |
| njh_ | and as I can reproduce it in audacity, I know it's not my program | 23:15 |
| OvenWerks | have you tried asking on #LAD at all? | 23:15 |
| njh_ | I did not know LAD | 23:16 |
| njh_ | that's here on freenode? | 23:16 |
| OvenWerks | "Linux Audio Developers" | 23:16 |
| OvenWerks | yes | 23:16 |
| njh_ | fantastic, I shall wander over | 23:16 |
| OvenWerks | some of the people who put LV2 together are there as well as the authors of some other synth building blocks | 23:17 |
| njh_ | nice | 23:17 |
| njh_ | fwiw, I have ubuntustudio on the device I'm building this for | 23:17 |
| njh_ | (which is a braswell picoitx) | 23:18 |
| OvenWerks | ALSA/Pulse are pretty common no matter what the linux platform. | 23:18 |
| njh_ | but it's small and lacks a monitor | 23:18 |
| njh_ | hence why I wanted something I could use on a 'normal' computer | 23:18 |
| njh_ | and I'm not willing to install US over my laptop | 23:19 |
| OvenWerks | njh_: can you ssh -Y into the picoitx? (I realize you probably don't want install any x libs anyway. | 23:19 |
| njh_ | -Y? | 23:21 |
| njh_ | I've never had -X work | 23:21 |
| njh_ | and yeah, I don't really need X | 23:21 |
| njh_ | if you are interested, it's the brains of a wurltzer 'casemod' I'm doing for a friend | 23:22 |
| njh_ | that is, he got a wurlitzer console without any guts, and I'm building a synth you can play | 23:22 |
| njh_ | all the electronics is done, keys work, tabs flip. | 23:23 |
| njh_ | so now I'm doing the synth part | 23:23 |
| OvenWerks | cool | 23:29 |
| OvenWerks | Have you ever looked at aeolus? | 23:30 |
| OvenWerks | or is that not quite the sound you were looking for? | 23:30 |
| njh_ | sure, I'm a contributor | 23:30 |
| njh_ | It's a great sound, but it's a little long in the tooth now | 23:31 |
| njh_ | and fons seems to have disappeared | 23:31 |
| OvenWerks | he shows up once in a while, but has felt ill treated by some of the developers. | 23:31 |
| njh_ | and it doesn't do reeds well | 23:31 |
| njh_ | yeah, I saw tha | 23:32 |
| njh_ | well if I ever find a way to contact him I'd love to tell him I appreciate his masterpiece | 23:32 |
| OvenWerks | I grew up in church that had pipes, but it has been a long time since I have heard the real thing. That was 1st Baptist in Calgary AB Canada. Im on Vancouver Island these days. | 23:33 |
| njh_ | yeah, that's a long walk | 23:33 |
| njh_ | I also have a project to add some 32' stops to the local cathedral organ | 23:33 |
| njh_ | which is contingent on getting the wurlitzer finished | 23:34 |
| njh_ | synthetic 32' stops mind | 23:34 |
| njh_ | there's not enough room in the loft to fit real ones | 23:34 |
| njh_ | but someone installed 10 subwoofers in there at some point, so I figure I'll just drive those | 23:34 |
| OvenWerks | My parents have what used to be an old Wurlter console with two manuals. My dad was putting his own version of (all hardware) sound moduals in. | 23:35 |
| OvenWerks | ya 32foot is pretty big. Where I saw was 16s | 23:35 |
| njh_ | yeah | 23:36 |
| njh_ | it has several 16's | 23:36 |
| njh_ | flue and reed | 23:36 |
| OvenWerks | 16 was adequate to shack the place already. | 23:37 |
| njh_ | :) | 23:37 |
| OvenWerks | *shake | 23:37 |
| njh_ | well the organist (who also gives me lessons) feels that we need to go deeper | 23:37 |
| OvenWerks | Yeah, that was part of my reason for buying a 5 string bass too | 23:38 |
| njh_ | drop D! | 23:39 |
| OvenWerks | funny thing is a bass boost that boosts an octave higher actually makes it sound deeper. | 23:39 |
| njh_ | yeah, that's because of the way the ear works | 23:39 |
| OvenWerks | Ya mostly the D, but I do all the way down to the B once in while. | 23:39 |
| njh_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_tone | 23:46 |
| njh_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental | 23:46 |
| njh_ | our ear breaks sound into combs of harmonics | 23:46 |
| njh_ | then infers the base note | 23:46 |
| njh_ | you can trick this by creating a sequence that implies the fundamental | 23:47 |
| njh_ | that's why tiny little laptop speakers can sound like they have bass | 23:47 |
