Eickmeyerdragonfly-reverb will live in Backports for now. :/01:55
OvenWerksbetter than not at all.02:42
OvenWerksEickmeyer: I would suggest that Ardour6 be a separate package for at least a while to give people the chance to finish projects with 5.1202:43
OvenWerksThe session file format is different and there are other differences that may affect the way a previously recorded session sounds02:44
EickmeyerWell... ooo... that's touchy. When it comes to Ardour, when Ross merges my packaging back up to Debian, we'll likely go back to a Debian sync, which means we'll be at the mercy of whatever is decided there.02:45
OvenWerks(of course the may even be true from 5.12 in 19.10 and 5.12 in 20.04)02:45
EickmeyerWe *might* be able to put Ardour 5.12 in a PPA by itself.02:45
EickmeyerOf course, this would be for GG onward.02:45
OvenWerksI know we had ardour and ardour 4 for a while02:45
OvenWerks or was it ardour and ardour5?02:45
OvenWerksI think it was 3 and 402:46
EickmeyerProbably because Debian had it that way. It'll likely be ardour and ardour6, if it follows the same pattern.02:46
OvenWerksThen (if 60 is released in the next few weeks the way Robin is talking) 5.12 could be dropped for 20.10 and ardour6 become the new ardour02:48
EickmeyerThat's the way I'd want to go ideally, keeping 5.12 in 20.04 and in a PPA for those that need it in 20.10 onward.02:48
OvenWerksBasically if someone can't finish a mix in 6 months... a new or diff3erent sound is their problem02:48
EickmeyerUh... yeah. Totally.02:49
EickmeyerOf course, I'm a live engineer, so if you couldn't finish the mix on the fly you had other problems.02:50
OvenWerks6.0 is very much a better product and because mixbus came out first with most of the same code... most of the new bugs have been fixed (thankyou Ben)02:53
EickmeyerOh, cool! I plan on upgrading to Mixbus 6 tomorrow.02:55
=== Dave is now known as Guest38546
Guest38546Hello, I have upgraded to 20.04 however i have noticed that Carla does not show up as a instrument plugin on LMMS. I was expecting this to be the case due to the Carla version upgrade14:57
studiobot<teward001> Eickmeyer: ^ since I kno you're around15:09
Eickmeyer@teward001 he's in main and exited this channel.15:09
studiobot<teward001> ah ok15:09
EickmeyerWe don't want those kinds of questions in this channel anyhow.15:09
studiobot<teward001> it sucks IRC names aren't relayed here :)15:09
studiobot<teward001> joins/parts*15:09
studiobot<teward001> unreltaed you have a PM in your telegram :P15:09
OvenWerksEickmeyer: do you even know how to use lmms? it does'n make sense to me, i open it and think now what?15:44
EickmeyerI have no clue. I couldn't even figure out where to get the VST plugins in the UI.15:44
* Eickmeyer makes mental note to drop it from 20.1015:45
OvenWerkssome people like it15:45
EickmeyerOh, I know. Those people can install it from the repos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯15:46
OvenWerksbut they really do need to accept LV2 as the standard linux plugin. 15:46
Eickmeyer*sigh* Idk.... I just really don't like how the devs don't see upgrading from lv1 a priority.15:47
OvenWerksif you drop it put doesn't support lv2 as the reason15:47
OvenWerks:)15:47
EickmeyerI think if I drop it, that might be the wake-up call they need. :)15:47
OvenWerkshow does debian see VST3?15:47
EickmeyerDebian doesn't like VST. Period. It tows the line of non-free. I think VST3 is like that since Steinberg won't even release it as open source.15:48
OvenWerksthe headers are gpl15:48
OvenWerksthe host code can be totaly open15:49
OvenWerksthe plugin code can be too15:49
EickmeyerYeah. I don't know then. I just know that even Fedora has issues with VST.15:49
OvenWerksjust not if one uses their tools to build15:50
OvenWerksArdour 7 will support vst3 probably15:51
EickmeyerThat'd be cool.15:51
EickmeyerApparently lmms is working on lv2 for 1.3, whenver that gets released?15:51
* OvenWerks is learning to use autotools :p15:54
OvenWerks"auto" in autotools is a lie I think15:55
EickmeyerHa! Indeed it is.15:58
EickmeyerIt's always fun when I'm packaging something and it requires "autobuild.sh" to be run before "autoconfig" and "automake". :P15:59
OvenWerksI have a very simple applet that has only one file mcpdisp.cc to compile (no .h file even) but it dos need to add to libs libjack and lib fltk.... and I can't even get that to work.16:52
OvenWerksit works fine with just the makefile... but getting automake to generate this is not working. It says add this line to this file but that file already has that line :P16:54
OvenWerksI want to have a configure script is all16:55
OvenWerksok, success!!... well sort of. autoreconf which is not mentioned in any of these tutorials seems to like to be run frequently17:07
OvenWerksI finally have a makefile. I don't get an executable out of it yet... but that will come.17:08
EickmeyerYay17:09
OvenWerksEickmeyer: I thought the idea was to only have to run ./configure make and makeinstall17:09
EickmeyerAh.17:10
Eickmeyer[m]stevenjaycohen: I'm considering you part of the team now that you're a moderator on Reddit.19:34
Eickmeyer[m]Welcome aboard.19:35
studiobot<teward001> welcome19:35
StevenJayCohenThank you19:42
Eickmeyer[m]stevenjaycohen: So, I can do a few introductions. You already know me. OvenWerks is basically the lead of development (ubuntustudio-controls is his baby among other things), eylul (azbulutlu on Telegram) is the lead of artwork and design/advises me on which graphics applications to have and proofreads stuff for the website, teward is an Ubuntu Core Dev that helps me get stuff into Ubuntu, and one other (Ross, aka rosco2) is our19:46
Eickmeyer[m]Debian developer who works mostly via email.19:46
StevenJayCohenLet me know other ways that I can help out19:46
StevenJayCohenThanks OvenWerks I really appreciate all of the work you've done. I've recently migrated our whole recording studio to Ubuntu Studio -- not more mac or windows anywhere19:49
studiobot<teward001> i also help advise on packaging issues that're chaotic to fix ;)19:50
studiobot<teward001> but the team overall is well driven :)19:50
studiobot<teward001> (and this is me via our Telegram bridge.)19:50
StevenJayCohenI was checking out riot.im and bridging to IRC when Eickmeyer pined me19:51
StevenJayCohenpinged*19:51
StevenJayCohenI've been working on a PWA and wanted to check out how riot built theirs.19:52
StevenJayCohenMy most useful skills to this team may be my teaching/blogging background. I spent years teaching educators (non-geeks) how to use tech in the classroom, I've continued doing that by teaching narrators and actors how to self-record/edit/master in their home studios. And, I've been blogging since before WordPress was forked from cafelog. So, my skills are community facing, my tech skills make me more of a20:07
StevenJayCohentester/hacker than a programmer, and if you need someone to work on documentation/etc, I'm your guy.20:07
Eickmeyer[m]Well, then you're exactly the kind of person we're looking for.20:08
eylul[m]welcomeSteven Jay Cohen to team. :))22:45
StevenJayCohenThanks eylul 22:47
eylul[m]by the way eickmeyer, I want to take a look at the long standing eyesore the screenshots at the website this week are, as it looks like I will find the time to do so, do you have a preference for the procedure for updating the content that is not version controlled (e.g. blurbs on front page, those screenshots etc - my suggestion would be just sticking all the new versions to wiki, and then copy pasting them in,22:48
eylul[m]but I am open to other ideas)22:48
eylul[m]by the way eickmeyer, I want to take a look at the long standing eyesore the screenshots are this week* I cannot construct sentences in english language, what else is new22:49
Eickmeyereylul[m]: I already replaced them. :)22:51
eylul[m]oh?22:51
EickmeyerYeah, take a look.22:51
EickmeyerExcept the front page.22:52
EickmeyerThe tour is fixed.22:52
eylul[m]awesome!!!!!22:52
eylul[m]we should add Krita to the list on the tour22:52
EickmeyerAgreed. I just replaced what was there.22:53
eylul[m]unless for some reason it doesn't get installed by default. (under the graphics category)22:53
EickmeyerIt does get installed by default.22:53
eylul[m]also an idea, how about we put the blurb on the top of each page as well so that there is a bit more context to the pages...22:54
EickmeyerSure.22:54
eylul[m]I'll do that now. that's pretty quick :) 22:55
EickmeyerSounds good.22:55
EickmeyerOne thing I noticed: We don't include Shotwell by default anymore, yet it's still on the photography page. Odd.22:56
EickmeyerI mean, it's installable...22:56
eylul[m]it might have went during.. there was a pruning at some point, but I thought we updated the tour since then22:57
eylul[m]honestly it might be worth making a review of the software we preinstall, at some point. it has been a while since we last did that22:58
EickmeyerI think next release Openshot might get the boot for shotcut. Openshot is much more feature-rich now, more like kdenlive.22:58
eylul[m]and I do know there is a few new photography tools that came out since then.22:58
EickmeyerI think this next release is a perfect opportunity.22:58
eylul[m]kdenlive actually has been very actively developed, and is a lot more stable. 22:58
EickmeyerEspecially if we're going Plasma, which it feels like we are per consensus.22:59
eylul[m]I would keep the both and stick to the two. (kdenlive has been actively developed well for the past year) 22:59
eylul[m]nods22:59
eylul[m]there are also some new photography tools22:59
EickmeyerI just don't feel like we need to have two fully-featured video editors. I'd rather go with kdenlive.22:59
EickmeyerPitivi needs to go too, it's very buggy.22:59
eylul[m]oh you want to lose openshot?23:00
eylul[m]I would say one out of pitivi and openshot23:00
eylul[m]not both23:00
EickmeyerYeah. Openshot used to be something to get quick stuff done with, now it competes with kdenlive. I'd replace it with shotcut, since shotcut now fits that mold.23:00
eylul[m]I would like to make sure one side has all the features other has23:01
eylul[m]but let me get back to you on that, after the release?23:01
EickmeyerSure.23:01
eylul[m]the problem with the video editing programs is that not all of them have some features  (like there still are some reasons to use blender)23:01
EickmeyerWell, blender isn't a video editor, per se. It's a 3-D modellilng program that *happens* to have a video editor.23:02
eylul[m]but I mean we do keep rawtherapee and darktable together :))23:02
eylul[m]yet it still has features as a video editor that other software doesn't. :) 23:03
EickmeyerRawtherapee works for doing quick raw files. Darktable does that *and* catalogs them.23:03
eylul[m](although kdenlive is catching up fast, so not sure where that count is these days :)) )23:03
EickmeyerI see Blender as closer in style to After Effects, Kdenlive close to Premiere.23:03
eylul[m]darktable can do some pretty sophisticated edits, and anything short of compositing (you can technically composite with it, but it is.. hacky :P) raw therapee I haven't used it lately, but there is a fork of it that is called art. ergo. I really need to look what is going on. 23:04
eylul[m]true!23:04
StevenJayCohenA Venn Diagram on the website would be helpful23:04
StevenJayCohenshowing the overlap between the apps23:05
eylul[m]:)23:05
eylul[m]likes the idea23:05
EickmeyerDarktable is a lot like Adobe Lightroom.23:05
StevenJayCohenThis is what made me think of suggesting it23:06
* StevenJayCohen uploaded an image: image.png (754KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/eoVyESdIMRRcHhfxpmQuwcvZ >23:06
StevenJayCohenIn the same way, you could show how each app overlaps others in functionality23:06
EickmeyerTIL I'm an animal farm. 😝23:06
StevenJayCohenIt would help people new to designing on Linux understand what does what23:06
eylul[m]Darktable is very much equivalent of that 23:07
eylul[m]except in some ways it is better subjective opinion. but hey! better noise reduction and it definitely works a lot better with infrared photography - shuts up23:07
eylul[m]I really like the idea.23:07
eylul[m]that could be integrated into the reviewing all the apps project through?23:08
eylul[m]that way it is not two rounds of work...23:08
StevenJayCohenApp selection is subjective, always is (vim vs emacs as an example)23:08
eylul[m]you are here is probably firefox, ubuntustudio-controls and libreoffice ducks the incoming object23:08
* Eickmeyer throws nothing23:08
eylul[m]unless you are a student. :) 23:09
eylul[m]well come on libreoffice addition at least deserved a popcorn thrown :))23:09
StevenJayCohenSo, if it's free but closed source, it can't be in the Ubuntu Studio install, right?23:09
eylul[m](libreoffice is actually in publishing category btw)23:09
eylul[m](it actually has quite a few styling based features)23:09
eylul[m]short answer is yes.23:10
EickmeyerStevenJayCohen: Correct. It must be licensed to be freely redistributable and open source.23:10
eylul[m](I mean some codecs and such do come with ubuntu... sort of)23:11
StevenJayCohenA venn diagram per section would be great (audio, photo, video, pub)23:11
StevenJayCohenshow the DAW overlap23:11
eylul[m]audio photo video, 3D pub23:11
StevenJayCohenright23:12
eylul[m]yes I just added that category in23:12
eylul[m](is trying really not to get sidetracked, the week of release candidate)23:12
eylul[m]Also Eickmeyer: permission to add Features: Audio to the title (previously it was just: Audio - which looks a bit out of context when you are viewing the page by itself)23:16
Eickmeyereylul[m]: Yeah, sounds good.23:17
EickmeyerWould probalby need that for all of those pages.23:17
eylul[m]I am doing all of them at once23:17
eylul[m]was more giving the example of it23:17
EickmeyerAh, makes sense.23:20
eylul[m]:)23:20
eylul[m]oh grumble.23:21
eylul[m]it also changed the menu 23:22
eylul[m]http://ubuntustudio.org/tour/audio/23:22
Eickmeyereylul[m]: Oof, yeah, that doesn't work. Sorry.23:25
eylul[m]that should be fixable through23:26
eylul[m]give me a moment let me see if I can fix it via menu23:26
eylul[m]I think it can be23:26
eylul[m]yeah it can be fixed23:27
eylul[m]fixes23:27
eylul[m]then shakes fist at too smart wordpress23:27
EickmeyerYes, that works.23:28
eylul[m]Todo: add a blurb for krita, update the blurb for graphics.23:30
eylul[m]replaced openshot with GIMP for photography as that should have never happened. but TODO: add many photography software we have.23:40
eylul[m]I'll do a few emergency fixes I see to these later tonight or tomorrow for very obvious problems but we can review the rest when we do the inventory of where we are. now i need to go send my students their take-home midterms. 23:49
EickmeyerOk, sounds good. :)23:54
