sakrecoerJlye: re: wine, yes might be a 32 bit issue.. i haven't got much experience with wine tbh.15:23
sakrecoerJlye: so no, i haven't installed FL studio on ubuntustudio, unfortunately i can't help you..15:39
Jlyethats cool15:40
sakrecoer:)15:41
sakrecoeri can't wait to have something finished with hydrogene and ardour... stuff is lit, but without any example, there is nothing to make a point about lol15:43
JlyeTrue. I want to use LMMS more but when creativity calls, I don't want to always have to learn to figure out what I'm trying to do.15:51
Mithosplease help, I can't get my usb mic working in ardour 4 with ubuntu studio 16.04. midi works with the internal soundcard. but I want to use my good usb mic for singing. what can I do?19:21
MithosI mean my internal soundcard plays sounds when I play my external keyboard with yoshimi connected, but I can't find any option in Ardour or in Jack to use my usb Mic for vocals, can someone help?19:24
JlyeHave you tried in Audacity or QTractor ?19:25
JlyeMaybe check to ensure there's a driver for it ?19:25
Mithosthx ...the mic shows um in the tab parameter in the Qjack where defauld is set when I change it to the mic nothing changes in Ardour19:29
Mithosstill capture only works with the internal mic port19:30
Mithoscan I see somewhere in ardour which devices are connected to the computer?19:31
Mithosah there in qJackctl preferences I found a tab advanced where I could change input device to the usb mic, I'll restart jack and Ardour now and see if something has changed19:36
Mithosthat's strange I changed the input device in QJaclctl and still the mic from the soundcard gets captured and not my usb mic19:39
JlyeI don't know anything about ardour. Sakrecoer may be able to help. Have you tried an IRC channel for the app ?19:39
Mithosno I'll try to find one..where can I find Sakrecoer?19:42
OvenWerksMithos: two things19:51
`{^v^}does it show up in qjackctl?19:52
`{^v^}(the mic)19:52
OvenWerksMithos: if you use your mic as the default input you will not be able to hear the output from your MB audio.19:52
Mithosthx ...the mic shows um in the tab parameter in the Qjack where defauld is set when I change it to the mic nothing changes in Ardour19:53
Mithosthere in qJackctl preferences I found a tab advanced where I could change input device to the usb mic, I'll restart jack and Ardour now and see if something has changed19:53
OvenWerksMithos: it may be that jackd is already running and so you can not use qjackctl to restart it till that jackd is stopped (killed)19:53
OvenWerksMithos: try in a terminal: killall -9 jackd jackdbus19:54
Mithosthx I try this19:55
Mithosok what should I do next?19:55
OvenWerksMithos: it is not possible to use two different audio devices at the same time without resampling one of them. So start jackd with one of those devices and then use zita-a2j to add the other.19:56
OvenWerkszita-a2j resamples an audio port to match whatever jackd is running at19:57
OvenWerksMithos: it is probably easiest to run qjackctl with the default audio device and add your mic with zita-a2j.19:59
OvenWerksMithos: so if you start jack that way the connections dialog in qjackctl will show two system ins and two system playback lines.19:59
OvenWerksthis will allow you to hear with the speakers you have plugged into your computer.20:00
Mithosah ok...what is this zita-a2j? I added some a2j thing for my midi keyboard to work, is this the same?20:01
OvenWerksthen in a terminal:zita-a2j -d <devicename>20:02
OvenWerksno that was a2jmidid20:02
OvenWerksdevicename can be found from arecord -l20:02
OvenWerksthe -l is a lower case L20:02
OvenWerkssorry for all the terminal work, but using two devices is not really a normal thing yet.20:04

OvenWerksok so zita-a2j -d Mic20:06
OvenWerksI think... let me check20:06
OvenWerksMithos: nope, I have to do zita-a2j -d hw:Mic20:07
OvenWerksMithos: once that is running the qjackctl connections window should show an input called zita-a2j. That will be your mic.20:08
* OvenWerks was hoping to have a GUI applet that helped do this stuff, but has been too busy20:10
MithosI got it to work somehow!! I chose in the advance tab20:10
Mithosinput device the usb mic20:11
OvenWerksright20:11
Mithosoutput device the internal card20:11
OvenWerksif you do it that way, you may find you have clicks in the sound20:11
Mithosnow in ardour I hear my voice when I speak, but with the speakers connected to the iternal soundcard...isn't that strange?20:11
Mithosbut yohimi doesn't give sound now20:12
OvenWerksis it connected in jack?20:13
Mithosno it is no longer there in jack20:14
OvenWerksit may need to be restarted.20:15
OvenWerksI don't know yoshimi well, there may be a reconnect button in it too.20:15
* OvenWerks is not a kb player so all his stuff uses analog inputs20:16
Mithosbut suddenly there is a pulse audio jack sink left and source right that wasn't there before20:16
Mithosok i restart yoshi20:16
OvenWerksthat is the difference between jackd being started by a jack application and qjackctl starting jackdbus.20:17
OvenWerkswhen you sarted yoshimi with jack not running it would have started jack on its own which is not what you want.20:17
Mithosnow it is there but connection make no sound20:19
OvenWerksis there a line in the qjackctl connections window that goes from the output of yoshimi to the system playback port?20:20
Mithosyes there is, but nothing to hear...been 5 hours on these problems first the midi thing now the mic...I'm tired...thank you so much for your help but its just to complicated for me now :(20:22
OvenWerksis there a midi controller connected to it's midi in?20:23
OvenWerks(did you restart a2jmidid?)20:23
Mithosyes midi worked fine before I got the mic to work but the thing with a2jmidid took me lots of time two. How come you need some temp proceses running via terminal to get your midi keyboard running?  I mean this is a musicians distro, right? not a progammers thing20:27
`{^v^}midi has always been a hassle (i have better luck with Roland devices)20:31
MithosI used studio 14.04 with ardour and it worked fine, while using no midi keyboard and the bad internal mic input from soundcard. today I insalled 16.04 with ardour 4 and20:33
Mithostryed my new devices but only frustration :(20:33
sakura_never change a running system20:34
MithosYou got it wrong I wanted a better mic and play some things myself on keyboard for my recordings, so this is not me changing system first but adding passibilities20:36
Mithossorry for my bad english i am german :)20:37
Mithosare there scripts for autostart that handle these things?20:38

Mithosnow there is it all dead ...what the f....20:40
MithosIs there a linux studio distro that works better?20:40
Mithosnow I got it all restarted again including a2jmidid. All connections are made but no sound and no reaction in ardour when I play the keyboard20:47
Mithoswhen I play the virtual keyboard it works, but not the midi keyboard20:48
