[01:11] <Uhfgood> Is there a way to allow ubuntu to use ntfs drives?
[01:44] <wonko> OvenWerks: No more xruns, however jackd crashed again. :'(
[01:47] <wonko> 64/2 is definitely pushing it
[12:28] <wonko> OvenWerks: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/prvDXXjCmv/
[12:28] <wonko> Sitting overnight, 128/2
[12:29] <wonko> We have made definite progress on the crashing issue though. Before there was a 100% chance it would have crashed by morning time and I would have to restart everything
[12:33] <wonko> The problem with this being an everything system (although its less everything that it was in the past) is it's hard to know exactly what else is going on. It's also hard to have control over everything else. A dedicated music computer might be something I'll have to consider at some point.
[14:53] <OvenWerks> wonko: that is likely to be system events in cron
[14:53] <wonko> That's what I was thinking
[14:53] <wonko> because it was really only at that one time
[14:53] <wonko> so something happened
[14:54] <OvenWerks> wonko: the log is clean except for those times
[14:54] <wonko> yep
[14:54] <wonko> nothing since then
[14:54] <wonko> So I think we can call 128/2 a success
[14:54] <wonko> 64/2 was instance xruns, so that's not likely to work
[14:56] <OvenWerks> 64/3?
[14:56] <wonko> I can try that
[14:58] <wonko> one PulseIn but so far nothing else
[14:58] <wonko> 64/2 was a bunch of constant ones so that's looking good
[15:08] <wonko> oh, a couple right there
[15:11] <OvenWerks> wonko: so set it to 64/3 if you wish to try more tuning of your system or run 128/2 for live (synth) kinds of things and for recording, 1024 may be just fine.
[15:12] <wonko> I'm going to leave it at 64/3 for a while and see how it does
[15:12] <wonko> and two more xruns as soon as I said that. :)
[15:13] <wonko> 128/2 may be the best I'm going to reasonably get
[15:13] <wonko> for solid xrun-less operation
[15:13] <OvenWerks> 128/2 has been quite usable for me
[15:14] <wonko> if my math is correct we're talking 4ms vs 5.3ms which is probably not going to be noticable
[15:14] <wonko> yeah, bunch more, so 128/2 it is
[15:15] <OvenWerks> I found guitar effects use to be the most picky for me... I have actually found 1024 is ok for playing a synth... but I am not a piano player :)
[15:16] <wonko> I'm supposed to be learning the guitar. Need to make time for that. :)
[15:16] <wonko> I really need to pick the piano back up though too
[15:16] <wonko> I've been not doing music for far too long
[15:17] <wonko> ok, next issue is I need to figure out this Calf Analyzer issue
[15:17] <OvenWerks> piano and keyboards are not the same.
[15:17] <OvenWerks> beware too many calf plugins in Ardour
[15:17] <wonko> in this case the term is interchangable because I haven't touched either in forever. :)
[15:17] <wonko> I'm doing the plugins in Carla
[15:17] <wonko> thought I'd give that a go
[15:18] <wonko> but I might switch back to running them in ardour
[15:18] <wonko> the issue is if I click on the GUI button in the rack for Anazlyser it crashes carla
[15:18] <wonko> none of the other calf stuff does that, they all work as intended
[15:19] <OvenWerks> in my case I haven't either, but I am not willing to even try to play piano in frront of people... keyboard pads and stuff I am ok with
[15:21] <wonko> I'm not willing to play anything in front of anyone at this point
[15:21] <wonko> I haven't touched an instrument in probably 20 years
[15:21] <OvenWerks> Ouch
[15:22] <wonko> yeah
[15:22] <wonko> I need to fix that
[15:22] <wonko> getting this computer setup is supposed to be the motivation for that. :)
[15:23] <wonko> Did you see my UE4 build temp results?
[15:23] <OvenWerks> I find leaving a guitar beside my desk helps... even a solid body not plugged in.
[15:24] <wonko> Yeah, the other part was (we just moved) getting this office setup properly
[15:24] <wonko> so now the computer/desk/etc part is mostly done (once I get the mic stand)
[15:24] <wonko> I just need to fix the one outlet that isn't working so I can put the printer where it belongs
[15:25] <wonko> and then find a reasonable place to put the guitar and shitty keyboard we have
[15:25] <wonko> The tiny midi keyboard sits on my desk for fiddling with
[15:45] <wonko> boo, jack crashed
[15:45] <wonko> so that's not gone
[15:45] <wonko> I *did* move it back to the longer cable because the short one was too short. I'll try the middle length one and see how that is

[17:19] <Eickmeyer> Uhfgood: Please stay on-topic in here. That video link has nothing to do with Ubuntu Studio. Also, this is a support channel, that was completely off-topic.
[17:31] <wonko> OvenWerks: yeah, looks like 128/2 is the sweet spot on this system so looks like I'll stick with that. :)
[18:28] <Alton> HI!
