[16:54] <ottomang7> Does ubuntu studio support UEFI?
[16:56] <oerheks> sure
[16:57] <oerheks> !uefi
[16:59] <Eickmeyer> ottomang7: In other words, yes.
[17:00] <Eickmeyer> ottomang7: Also, please remember, Ubuntu Studio *is* Ubuntu. It's simply a different default configuration and default installation, otherwise there's no difference. Anything that applies to Ubuntu applies to Studio as well.
[17:01] <Eickmeyer> Not a separate distribution.
[17:05] <oerheks> :-)
[17:29] <Turdlar> in Qsynth, how do i change the instrument? when i click the "channels" button, i am presented with a list of different instruments with some numbers next to them in "chan", "bank" & "prog" columns
[17:30] <Eickmeyer> Turdlar: Best to ask in #lau (Linux Audio Users) as it's much more active.
[17:30]  * Eickmeyer doesn't use Qsynt
[17:30] <Eickmeyer> *qsynth
[17:30] <Turdlar> i tried checking a bunch of tutorials without much luck - the only guy i saw do it, seems to do it through a software midi keyboard
[17:30] <Turdlar> alright, i'll try there - thanks
[17:31] <Eickmeyer> Turdlar: Another one might be #opensourcemusicians
[17:32] <Turdlar> nice - thanks!
[18:18] <OvenWerks> Turdlar: you want to load a new bank or sound font
[18:18] <OvenWerks> Turdlar: look under setup -> Soundfonts
[18:19] <OvenWerks> Turdlar: you should be able to find lots of soundfonts (files that end in .sf2) on the internet
[19:14] <StevenJayCohen> Starting from a stock Ubuntu Install (19.10 or 20.04), if all I need is the Ubuntu Studio Controls (and JACK of course), what are the steps?
[19:14] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-installer | StevenJayCohen
[19:14] <Eickmeyer> That's it. All there is to it.
[19:16] <StevenJayCohen> Eickmeyer, that's amazing. So, the JACK with Pulse bridging will be done through that, and I can just add the tools that I want to the install?
[19:16] <Eickmeyer> Jack and Pulse bridging is done *by* Ubuntu Studio Controls.
[19:17] <Eickmeyer> And, yes.
[19:17] <StevenJayCohen> Yes, sorry for being obtuse, I knew that.
[19:17] <Eickmeyer> No worries.
[19:18] <Eickmeyer> It's been something I've been hammering for a year now. It's just that simple. Fancy backend configuation is done for you when you install/run ubuntustudio-installer, and is made even better if one installs the performance tweaks in the installer.
[19:19] <Eickmeyer> All the hard configuration is a thing of the past. It. Just. Works.
[19:19] <StevenJayCohen> Eickmeyer, yes. That's exactly what I want.
[19:21] <StevenJayCohen> With 20.04 coming up, I was debating about upgrading the current 19.10 Studio install or going vanilla Ubuntu then seeing if I could do what I asked. Reaper is the tool that I work in that needs JACK, not Ardour or LMMS/etc. So, I don't really need the pre-installed software or XFCE (though I like how light XFCE is).
[19:25] <Eickmeyer> StevenJayCohen: That's why ubuntustudio-installer exists.
[19:25] <Eickmeyer> Ubuntu Studio != Xfce
[19:25] <Eickmeyer> But, you know that. :)
[19:26] <StevenJayCohen> Oddly, doesn't that "weaken" the Flavour in a way? I don't really see a way to fix that. But, it's also why you wind up getting all of the Ardour/LMMS/etc support requests (since they are part of the install).
[19:27] <Eickmeyer> Yes, but notice we don't get any Gimp requests.
[19:27] <StevenJayCohen> Ha! Very good point. It's the audio geeks.
[19:28] <Eickmeyer> Not even the main #ubuntu channel gets support requests for included software. That's usually directed to other channels.
[19:28] <StevenJayCohen> Like you did with #lau
[19:29] <Eickmeyer> Yep.
[19:29]  * StevenJayCohen slowly begins to understand
