| FXpro | anyone in here? | 02:29 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | sort of, questions? | 02:37 |
| FXpro | yes kz earbuds. any ideas on this brand? | 02:54 |
| OvenWerks | what do you expect from them? I don't use ear buds at all as I find them uncomfortable and have poor sound. | 02:58 |
| OvenWerks | So anything I have to say is probably not much use. | 02:58 |
| FXpro | knowledge zenith is the name of the company. suppose to be premium budget headphones that out perform many others at much higher price points. | 02:58 |
| cfhowlett | ? ask a hardware channel? seems a bit OT here ... | 02:58 |
| FXpro | where can I ask? | 02:58 |
| cfhowlett | google? | 02:59 |
| FXpro | I am looking for 2nd opinions. I looked into it a bit. now i wanted to follow up on irc and see what I can find out. | 03:01 |
| cfhowlett | and again: this is ubuntustudio support. | 03:02 |
| cfhowlett | I seriously doubt that music producer uses earbuds in their workflow. | 03:02 |
| FXpro | performers and producers do on stage and off | 03:03 |
| OvenWerks | akg headphones are good though | 03:03 |
| FXpro | but the preference is real headphones of course. | 03:04 |
| FXpro | I like akg | 03:04 |
| OvenWerks | do you mean in ear monitors then? | 03:04 |
| FXpro | better than senheiser actually. the last set of senheiser studio head phones I had fell apart some how. | 03:04 |
| FXpro | yes. | 03:04 |
| OvenWerks | in my mind, earbuds and inear monitors are a logn ways apart, sorry. | 03:05 |
| cfhowlett | agreed ^^^ | 03:05 |
| FXpro | yes and I agree but I need compact for international travel. | 03:05 |
| cfhowlett | off topic here. google "earbud recommendations" | 03:06 |
| cfhowlett | or "travel earbuds" | 03:06 |
| FXpro | this last run I just did over seas, 2 pairs got lost in the mix and 2 more pairs fell apart or got destroyed so all my good earphones are gone. I need new ones. | 03:06 |
| OvenWerks | You might ask on the Linux Audio User Mailing list, but I would make sure to say you were using them as inear monitors | 03:07 |
| FXpro | is there a channel for that or? | 03:07 |
| OvenWerks | It would be off topic there too, but there are a number of people on there who do live audio work profesionally. | 03:07 |
| FXpro | excellent. where do I find these people here on freenode? | 03:08 |
| OvenWerks | A lot of them do not do IRC at all. | 03:08 |
| FXpro | ehhh, why not. realtime chat is the tits when you need to inquire about things like this for example. | 03:09 |
| OvenWerks | No idea, personal preference I guess. | 03:09 |
| FXpro | ubuntu studio is pretty slick btw. | 03:09 |
| cfhowlett | or you could go to your local guitar center and ask for recommendations. real-time, real-life and F2F | 03:10 |
| FXpro | I would prefer to run it off a memory stick though for now. my hard drive is all hogged up with stuff. | 03:10 |
| OvenWerks | I am glad you like it. | 03:10 |
| FXpro | I have 64gb memory sticks. I can do ubuntu studio off a memory chip live without sacrificing too much right? | 03:11 |
| FXpro | the other computer I was testing it on is too slow and its broken right now. | 03:11 |
| OvenWerks | It depends on the RAM size to some extent and what kind of audio you are doing. | 03:12 |
| FXpro | how much space is required for it? | 03:12 |
| FXpro | not 64gb I am sure. | 03:12 |
| cfhowlett | running from ram is always slower than a HDD install. once your start firing up ram intenseive apps, it will slow even more. | 03:12 |
| OvenWerks | recording a number of tracks to "disk" may fail. | 03:12 |
| FXpro | more like 4gb I am guessing. its been a while. | 03:12 |
| OvenWerks | basically the whole song needs to fit in ram, so 10MB per minute, per track | 03:13 |
| OvenWerks | About | 03:14 |
| OvenWerks | (assuming 16bit audio at 48K | 03:14 |
| OvenWerks | Most recording is done as 32 bit floats. | 03:14 |
| OvenWerks | So double the space. | 03:15 |
| FXpro | I would guess a discounted gaming computer with ssd and lots of ram is the best idea which I am getting that next. probably one of those razer blade laptops next. | 03:17 |
| OvenWerks | in general laptops are slow. | 03:17 |
| FXpro | what do you think of this one for a/v - http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-stealth | 03:18 |
| FXpro | pretty damn slick laptops the razer people have | 03:18 |
| OvenWerks | It is only two cores... kind of an i3 dressed up as an i7... (in my opinion) I would take a 4 core i5 if I could get that. | 03:19 |
| OvenWerks | hyperthreading and boost/Turbo are of little use for serious audio. | 03:20 |
| OvenWerks | (I turn them off in fact) | 03:21 |
| FXpro | its still a slick laptop | 03:22 |
| FXpro | very usable for my needs. | 03:22 |
| FXpro | this one is quadcore - http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade | 03:30 |
| FXpro | ficken 1799 though geeez... expensive | 03:30 |
| OvenWerks | Thats better. I am not so sure of the video... it would be good for things that require video, but for everyday use in Linux, I would go intel which has open drivers and generally just suports Linux. nvidia is a goodsecond in that, they at least supply drivers, but closed. | 03:39 |
| OvenWerks | Most people stay way from AMD as having the worst Linux support | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | agreed! ^^^ | 03:41 |
| FXpro | intel still wins ever since they robbed dec and had to pay them off for it | 04:19 |
| OvenWerks | dec is gone... | 04:57 |
| studio-user752 | I wonder if someone here can help me with a problem I just encountered using Ubuntu Studio. I tried to add a menu item using "Menu Editor" under settings and now Whisker Menu only shows a fraction of my available programs, like it reverted to an Ubuntu standard menu file instead of the Ubuntu Studio list. If I use the search function at the top of the menu and search "gimp" I get no results, but I can run it and get gimp. | 05:41 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user752: Ya, that menu editor is bad. | 05:46 |
| cfhowlett | OvenWerks, looking for the whisker menu editor and don't see it ... | 05:46 |
| OvenWerks | cfhowlett: try accessories | 05:47 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user752: in a terminal try: | 05:47 |
| OvenWerks | ls .config/menus/ | 05:48 |
| OvenWerks | it should be empty, but I think that is where libremenu puts it's over ride | 05:48 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user752: There are no known working 100% menu editors... besides manually. | 05:49 |
| OvenWerks | alacart is the best one out there besides the one kde comes with, but it is kde only I think. | 05:51 |
| OvenWerks | (the kde one is kde only, alacart is generic-ish) | 05:52 |
| studio-user752 | .config/menus/ contains the file: xfce-applications.menu | 05:54 |
| OvenWerks | studio-user752: if you delete that, the menu should revert. You can mv it to xfce-applications.unem to disable it. | 05:55 |
| studio-user752 | Wow, that did the trick | 05:56 |
| OvenWerks | (ie rename it if you don't want to loose it) | 05:56 |
| studio-user752 | Thanks OvenWerks! | 05:56 |
| OvenWerks | Ya, I creaed the studio menu... I learned the hard way | 05:56 |
| OvenWerks | *created | 05:56 |
| studio-user752 | Is there another way to edit the menu? | 05:57 |
| OvenWerks | yes... it is not easy and requires knowing how the files work. | 05:57 |
| studio-user752 | never mind then, I'll run from a terminal when I need to | 05:58 |
| OvenWerks | if you look at /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/studio.menu | 05:59 |
| OvenWerks | it will give some hints. you can put the same kind of thing into ~/.config/menus | 06:00 |
| OvenWerks | what are you missing? | 06:00 |
| OvenWerks | if you are trying to start a program from the menu that isn't there, creating a desktop file for it and adding that to ~/.local/share/applications/ | 06:01 |
| OvenWerks | should do it. | 06:01 |
| studio-user752 | ok | 06:01 |
| OvenWerks | depending on the categories you add it will be added to different places. (Audio or muti-media for example for audio.) | 06:03 |
| OvenWerks | I am going to have to run, be back tomorrow. | 06:03 |
| studio-user752 | thanks again for the help | 06:04 |
| Jinx-IT | Anyone here have experience with RME hammerfall channels coming up wrong? | 18:21 |
| Jinx-IT | i verified in ardour and audacity that it happens. | 18:22 |
| Jinx-IT | anyone ever seen ardour inputs one off and only working on even channels? | 20:11 |
| OvenWerks | Jinx-IT: I have not, but I have very few audio interfaces, mostly PCI plus one USB 1.1 | 20:18 |
| Jinx-IT | it's weird...outputs work fine. i have an older rme hammerfall with 3 ADA8000 units connected. | 20:19 |
| Jinx-IT | it all worked on a version of Ubuntu Studio that was about 4 years old, but i decided i should wipe and get the latest and greatest... | 20:20 |
| Jinx-IT | i also fired up audacity and found that the channels are off there as well. | 20:20 |
| Jinx-IT | now, when i connect channels 1-24, only the EVEN physical inputs work, but appear on the next ODD input down...so 8 goes to 7, etc. | 20:21 |
| Jinx-IT | i am running the x64 build...maybe i should install the x86 build | 20:22 |
