| aloo_shu | I was just told | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | Ubuntustudio has not had the manpower to keep backs up to date. | 00:00 |
| aloo_shu | I have 5.12 in other versions, i.e. AVLinux and Xenial+kxstudio | 00:00 |
| aloo_shu | OvenWerks: yep, I've read it on the ubuntustudio blog | 00:01 |
| aloo_shu | ardour devs in general do not invite ppl to use anything then the newest stable obtained from them, not a distro - unless they want to test and/or compile | 00:02 |
| OvenWerks | That only makes sense considering they don't fix old releases, the fix is in the new release | 00:04 |
| ErichEickmeyer | aloo_shu: If you would like to help by keeping packages up-to-date, we could use the help. :) | 00:04 |
| aloo_shu | in my experience, bugs come in in the same measure as they are getting fixed, with end-of-series releases maybe having slighly better maturity | 00:04 |
| OvenWerks | I would agree that 6.0 might be a release to avoid. | 00:05 |
| aloo_shu | I'd love to, but live in a solar household w/ only hours worth of energy in the batts, and I am hard pressed to keep my music recording going with all the updates, things like ardour 5 eating up older ardour's session files without prompting (ardour 4 at least made backups) | 00:07 |
| OvenWerks | I did not have that problem, my old sessions were kept and I was told that they were renamed. | 00:08 |
| aloo_shu | 4 did that, maybe early 5s, too | 00:09 |
| aloo_shu | but latter 5s didn't even bother, afaik - rgareus recommended me to back up manually | 00:10 |
| aloo_shu | what would be seriously interesting would be digging into the sources for versions that do not get released, namely the ones that serve as a basis for mixbus releases - I think the mix of features vs. stability is way more conservative there | 00:13 |
| aloo_shu | there are many other ways in which ardour simply galloped off - the NON-DAW for instance had gone out of its way to implement ardour 3 session import, somebody wrote a working OSC remote FLOSS app , ardroid - all of it got obsoleted | 00:16 |
| aloo_shu | the 5.12 's I currently use do randomly (cannot clearly reproduce) hang or crash when using the pitch shift feature (mixbus does it fine) | 00:19 |
| aloo_shu | last thing that happened was that ardour took the entire session folder with it when I had to kill -9 it. | 00:20 |
| aloo_shu | what happens more regularly is that the automatic session backup at 2m intervals hasn't happened <-- long standing | 00:22 |
| aloo_shu | another 5 series specific one is changes in the track playlists not reflecting in the gui, i.e. typically pasted regions, duplicated track content etc. not showing, but playing - saving and restarting fixes that | 00:25 |
| aloo_shu | now you might think why's the guy ranting, but by #ardour, anything not bought-by-donation/subscription from them is not their business | 00:26 |
| OvenWerks | true but the 5.12 in Studio is pretty much the same. | 00:27 |
| OvenWerks | generally one can get help on the #ardour channel for "how to" questions no matter hwere the application came from. | 00:28 |
| aloo_shu | I had too much one day and dropped it from my auto-join list | 01:21 |
| aloo_shu | I roughly do know 'how to' | 01:21 |
| aloo_shu | and I've painstakingly helped people to build offline manuals | 01:22 |
| aloo_shu | the problem is that ardour whimsically changes 'how to' | 01:23 |
| aloo_shu | I'd rather have them make a thing that works and doesn't change, than amiably getting the changes explained after another frustrating 2 hours of no headway made in my creative process | 01:24 |

| vlt | Hi all! On the weekend I used a fresh Ubuntu Studio 18.04 to play a linuxsampler instrument with a jack buffer size of 128 samples (2.9 ms) and had one instance of jack_mixer running for one mic. | 11:31 |
| vlt | I averaged around 1 xrun in 3 minutes. | 11:31 |
| vlt | I'd like to make that more robust. What can I do to reduce xruns? What on the system could be disturbing the processes needed for audio? | 11:32 |
| SlidingHorn | Do I need to do anything special to use NVENC encoding with OBS-studio? According to its log files it says "NVENC Supported" - does that mean it's checked to see if everything it needs is available? | 12:03 |
| studio-user660 | JOIN | 13:15 |
| OvenWerks | vlt: need more info. what kind of audio interface are you using? | 15:21 |
| OvenWerks | is it USB or internal? | 15:21 |
| ErichEickmeyer | OvenWerks: He went to #jack and got his answer. | 18:26 |
| vlt | OvenWerks: The audio device (also handling MIDI) is a Native Instruments KA 6 (USB). | 18:42 |
| vlt | OvenWerks: And yes, I got some great advice from #jack and try to optimize my setup.# | 18:42 |
| ErichEickmeyer | SlidingHorn: I haven't played around with OBS enough. I really should as live video production is part of my job. I know my co-worker has. | 20:56 |
| studio-user493 | is my hardware out of date or the new ubuntu studio keeps crashing? | 23:55 |
| studio-user493 | 18.04 is what i installed | 23:55 |
| studio-user493 | 18.10* | 23:55 |
