[13:40] <foormea> hi. what kernel does ubuntustudio 15.10 use by default? generic? lowlatency? realtime? what about 16.04?
[13:42] <foormea> 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] <zequence> There's no -rt kernel in the archive. Ubuntu Studio uses linux-lowlatency, and we are its silent maintainers, so to speak
[13:43] <zequence> I would use something other than audacity for recording
[13:43] <zequence> ardour, or qtractor
[13:43] <zequence> Audacity is ok for simple recording, but not for tracking
[13:44] <zequence> I would suggest you to use ardour instead
[13:44] <zequence> ..with jack
[13:44] <zequence> !proaudio
[13:47] <foormea> thanks zequence
[13:47] <foormea> 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] <zequence> foormea: It's quite easy to import audio files into ardour, so that's not a big issue
[13:49] <zequence> You get the benefit of a full blown DAW, with tempo tracks, live processing, automation, etc
[13:49] <foormea> cool, thanks for the tip!
[13:50] <zequence> 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] <zequence> foormea: Just one thing though
[13:51] <foormea> yeah?
[13:51] <foormea> uh i'm seeing htis: http://ardour.org/download.html
[13:51] <zequence> 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] <foormea> seilence after 10mn if i download the binary, otherwise i'll need to compile from source?
[13:51] <foormea> oh i thought it was just a matter of switching the running kernel
[13:51] <zequence> foormea: It's in the archive. Install it with whatever installation tool you usually use
[13:52] <foormea> yep
[13:52] <zequence> no need to download from the ardour site
[13:52] <foormea> 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] <zequence> There might be ardour and ardour3. It's a bit confusing, but the latest one is the one you want
[13:53] <foormea> yeah. ardour, which isntalls ver4 i think
[13:53] <foormea> :)
[13:53] <zequence> It's not locked at all. It's free software
[13:53] <zequence> sudo apt-get install ardour
[13:53] <foormea> Version: 1:4.6~dfsg-1
[13:54] <zequence> foormea: Are you on xenial?
[13:54] <foormea> 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] <foormea> yep
[13:54] <zequence> Ok, so that's the one then
[13:55] <zequence> ardour has a business model, but it's still free software
[13:55] <zequence> Well, it's one or two guys getting paid
[13:55] <foormea> i see
[13:55] <zequence> You can find them on #ardour. Very helpful people, and very passionate
[13:55] <foormea> cool! thanks
[14:42] <foormea> anyway, zequence, what's your involvement with ubuntu studio? you seemed to say you're involved in kernel maintenance??
