=== ordipat is now known as foormea [13:40] hi. what kernel does ubuntustudio 15.10 use by default? generic? lowlatency? realtime? what about 16.04? [13:42] actually, let me phrase this differently. i'm on kubuntu 16.04, recording guitar with audacity. i had pretty bad results with generic kernel: delay, sometimes recording would stop or not even start with an empty track... so i switch to lowlatency kernel. it seems better, but it's still not perfect [13:42] There's no -rt kernel in the archive. Ubuntu Studio uses linux-lowlatency, and we are its silent maintainers, so to speak [13:43] I would use something other than audacity for recording [13:43] ardour, or qtractor [13:43] Audacity is ok for simple recording, but not for tracking [13:44] I would suggest you to use ardour instead [13:44] ..with jack [13:44] !proaudio [13:44] For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro [13:47] thanks zequence [13:47] i'll read on that. i hope i can easily import all my stuff into ardour! and i hope it won't be too complicated to learn [13:48] foormea: It's quite easy to import audio files into ardour, so that's not a big issue [13:49] You get the benefit of a full blown DAW, with tempo tracks, live processing, automation, etc [13:49] cool, thanks for the tip! [13:50] foormea: I'm sure there's plenty of help to be found online for ardour. There's a floss manual, and surely you can find stuff on youtube as well [13:51] foormea: Just one thing though [13:51] yeah? [13:51] uh i'm seeing htis: http://ardour.org/download.html [13:51] foormea: If you are not on UBuntu Studio, you don't have realtime privilege. Install ubuntustudio-controls, and set that up for your user [13:51] seilence after 10mn if i download the binary, otherwise i'll need to compile from source? [13:51] oh i thought it was just a matter of switching the running kernel [13:51] foormea: It's in the archive. Install it with whatever installation tool you usually use [13:52] yep [13:52] no need to download from the ardour site [13:52] zequence: what do you mean is in the archive? i'm just wondering, the version of ardour that comes from the ubuntu repo isn't "locked" at 10mn of usage is it? [13:52] There might be ardour and ardour3. It's a bit confusing, but the latest one is the one you want [13:53] yeah. ardour, which isntalls ver4 i think [13:53] :) [13:53] It's not locked at all. It's free software [13:53] sudo apt-get install ardour [13:53] Version: 1:4.6~dfsg-1 [13:54] foormea: Are you on xenial? [13:54] yep. i'm fairly proficient with ubuntu and linux in general :) i was just reading on ardour vs qtracker and saw that ardour page which i find really, really weird [13:54] yep [13:54] Ok, so that's the one then [13:55] ardour has a business model, but it's still free software [13:55] Well, it's one or two guys getting paid [13:55] i see [13:55] You can find them on #ardour. Very helpful people, and very passionate [13:55] cool! thanks [14:42] anyway, zequence, what's your involvement with ubuntu studio? you seemed to say you're involved in kernel maintenance??
