studio-user687testing - hello02:15
studio-user687Is this an active board?02:16
OvenWerksnot very.02:16
studio-user687Ok, thank you.02:16
studio-user687I'm a long-time ableton user with a little bit of linux experience - decided I'm comitting to the switch02:16
studio-user687Just a bit overwhelmed and unsure where to begin, lol02:16
OvenWerksIt depends what you wish to do02:17
studio-user687Produce using a workflow similar to ableton, but with open source tools02:17
studio-user687Have been playing around with ardour but still am not sure how to get sound out of it, lol02:17
OvenWerksI don't know Ableton wel at all02:17
OvenWerksArdour is more protools like.02:18
OvenWerkswhere are you having trouble?02:18
studio-user687It's not the DAW part I'm worried about, it's more on the routing and setup process with linux tools02:18
studio-user687I'm running an external DAC into a studio speaker system, but don't know how to configure it02:19
OvenWerksIn Linux audio things you are working with for Ardour will either be ALSA or Jackd. For many people ALSA works just fine02:19
studio-user687Do I use "Run ALSA" ?02:19
OvenWerksexternal meaning USB?02:20
studio-user687yes02:20
OvenWerksno ALSA is just there and Ardour can connect to it02:20
studio-user687I've also got a midi keyboard and drum pad on02:20
studio-user687hmm... ok, so I should probably start by studying ALSA and Jackd?02:20
OvenWerksFor most things you should not need jack02:21
OvenWerks WHen you start Ardour for the first time you would have gotten an audio dialog02:21
studio-user687the configuration box?02:22
studio-user687I got that, but didn't recognize nearly the whole thing haha02:22
studio-user687I appreciate your help, I think I owe it to myself to do more research before taking up anymore of your time haha02:22
OvenWerksgetting audio going is not really intuitive02:23
studio-user687Maybe I'm overcomplicating it02:23
studio-user687thanks again, chat soon maybe :)02:23
OvenWerks The most trouble I have is with people who want to use a USB mic and listen on their computer speakers02:23
OvenWerksoops gone02:24
