[00:00] I was just told [00:00] Ubuntustudio has not had the manpower to keep backs up to date. [00:00] I have 5.12 in other versions, i.e. AVLinux and Xenial+kxstudio [00:01] OvenWerks: yep, I've read it on the ubuntustudio blog [00:02] 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 [00:04] That only makes sense considering they don't fix old releases, the fix is in the new release [00:04] aloo_shu: If you would like to help by keeping packages up-to-date, we could use the help. :) [00:04] 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 [00:05] I would agree that 6.0 might be a release to avoid. [00:07] 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) [00:08] I did not have that problem, my old sessions were kept and I was told that they were renamed. [00:09] 4 did that, maybe early 5s, too [00:10] but latter 5s didn't even bother, afaik - rgareus recommended me to back up manually [00:13] 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 [00:16] 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 [00:19] 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) [00:20] last thing that happened was that ardour took the entire session folder with it when I had to kill -9 it. [00:22] what happens more regularly is that the automatic session backup at 2m intervals hasn't happened <-- long standing [00:25] 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 [00:26] now you might think why's the guy ranting, but by #ardour, anything not bought-by-donation/subscription from them is not their business [00:27] true but the 5.12 in Studio is pretty much the same. [00:28] generally one can get help on the #ardour channel for "how to" questions no matter hwere the application came from. [01:21] I had too much one day and dropped it from my auto-join list [01:21] I roughly do know 'how to' [01:22] and I've painstakingly helped people to build offline manuals [01:23] the problem is that ardour whimsically changes 'how to' [01:24] 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 === aloo_shu2 is now known as aloo_shu === aloo_shu2 is now known as aloo_shu === kalebris_ is now known as kalebris [11:31] 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] I averaged around 1 xrun in 3 minutes. [11:32] 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? [12:03] 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? [13:15] JOIN [15:21] vlt: need more info. what kind of audio interface are you using? [15:21] is it USB or internal? [18:26] OvenWerks: He went to #jack and got his answer. [18:42] OvenWerks: The audio device (also handling MIDI) is a Native Instruments KA 6 (USB). [18:42] OvenWerks: And yes, I got some great advice from #jack and try to optimize my setup.# [20:56] 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. [23:55] is my hardware out of date or the new ubuntu studio keeps crashing? [23:55] 18.04 is what i installed [23:55] 18.10*
