triiif[m]hey i would love some help on this question https://askubuntu.com/questions/1239448/ubuntustudio-controls-how-to-output-sound-to-4-speaker-at-the-same-time08:42
vlttriiif[m]: I use jack to control audio outputs.09:00
sakrecoer[m]I understand IDJC is subject to bit rot... Sad but so is a lot in life... What's the replacement? Mixxx broadcast feature is currently broken on most distros. Due to some libshout stuff .... Is it butt? What gives? Thankful for recommendations.12:08
sakrecoer[m]S/butt/BUTT12:08
sakrecoer[m]I found this, http://darkice.org/ website looks old and abandoned but the git was updated 11 days ago at the time of typing this12:20
sakrecoer[m]too bad, the version available in ubuntu doesn't allow for source names (basically username for authentication of clients)12:37
sakrecoer[m]BUTT did the cut :)12:47
sakrecoer[m]gah! no jack support :'(12:49
OvenWerkssakrecoer[m]: idjc will likely come back. It is a matter of the dev finding themselves with their own project not working next time they upgrade their OS15:18
OvenWerkssakrecoer[m]: if a new version shows up it will end up in backports15:18
OvenWerkssakrecoer[m]: changing major libs requirements in an LTS does not help either.15:25
sakrecoer[m]Thanks for the info OvenWerks. I really love IDJC so this is music to my text reading eyes!15:47
sakrecoer[m]My best shot so far to accomplish radio streaming is downgrading mixxx. It's acceptable but not ideal.15:48
sakrecoer[m]I understand the LTS situation. Curious to see if this is going to be a topic. Like, does anyone want to stream to their own server anymore, or is it all twitch/YouTube/Facebook turf nowadays..  :)15:50
sakrecoer[m](twitch/YouTube/Facebook being sorted out with OBS-studio, which unfortunately does not handle audio only situations)15:51
OvenWerkssome peopole who use rivendell use idjc for control room purposes16:05
OvenWerkssakrecoer[m]: the only thing we have left for that is OBS16:06
OvenWerksOBS looks like it is mostly for video can be used with audio streams only too16:06
OvenWerksfor obs though you would really need some kind of audio mixer as well.16:07
OvenWerksIDJC is really the best control room sw I have seen16:07
menik667766hi all !21:45
menik667766anyone availabe to helpme ?21:46
OvenWerksWithout knowing what the problem is that is hard to answer...21:47
menik667766you're right ovenwerks21:48
menik667766the problem is that i been trying to configure my external sound card in ubuntu studio without getting the right result, but the main problem is that i think i messed up something , because every time i start the ubuntu studio all pc goes really slow, (almost dead)21:49
OvenWerksThat is odd.21:50
menik667766so there's an easy way to restore the ubuntu studio ? like a factory reset?21:50
OvenWerksI guess so. from the login screen press ctl-alt-F121:50
OvenWerksyou should find yourself in a terminal21:51
OvenWerkslogin (user name enter password enter)21:51
OvenWerksrm -r .config21:51
OvenWerksexit21:51
menik667766woops, sorry my knowledge of commands in linux are ... how to say... almost nule. i'm really new on it21:52
OvenWerkspress ctl-alt-F7 should bring you back to the login screen21:52
menik667766ok i will take a look on it  thanks for your help, if i cannot succeed i will consider to reinstall all software .21:52
menik667766but it looks weird to me , that  seems , some audio aplications are running in background without my permision21:53
OvenWerksthe only likely things are either pulse or jack or both. but unless you have set the latency very low it should add much of a load to the system21:54
menik667766great that could make sense to me ,21:57
menik667766because in the past i was suffering a big delay between the input sound in the external mixer and the pc response , so i decreased the latency21:58
menik667766maybe i have have set it to low?21:58
OvenWerkspossibly21:59
menik667766so which could be the proper values to set up an alesis multimix 4 ?22:00
menik667766because by default ubuntu studio set a latency of 1024 , this makes unable to record (processing effects on the pc) due to the big delay22:01
OvenWerksI am assuming this is a USB audio interface? setting the buffer to 64 is probably the lowest that you should do 128 may be fast enough though. I can use my computer as a guitar effect at 256, but 128 is better22:02
OvenWerksMy delta 66 is an old PCI card and can work down to 16 on a good day if I hold my mouth just right.22:04
menik667766now i've got the sample rate according to manufacturer specs , 44100,   the latency on 64, jack periods  2, and set up as alsa22:04
OvenWerksbut below about 128 or 64 some of the desktop applications give trouble22:05
OvenWerksthat sound ok. you could go up to  128 and see if that helps.22:05
menik667766do you recommend me to set it up to 128 , but in the jack periods which value do you recommend me?22:05
OvenWerks128/222:06
OvenWerks64/3 might work well too22:06
menik667766good let me try just a second22:08
menik667766nice , at least looks like my system is not getting slower as before.22:09
menik667766OvenWerks , you're so kind , and i really apreciate your advices22:09
menik667766thank you very much22:09
OvenWerksyour welcome22:09
menik667766besides this i've got a second small issue with the system that maybe you can solve it very fast22:10
OvenWerksmaybe... I am not so good with video/desktop issues :)22:11
menik667766now that everything is running i need to configure my external mixer as a simple output and listsen the result ( after modulating the sound of my guitar in guitarix) in to the PC headset port , but i'm unable to see the headset port after starting the ubuntu studio control , looks like my PC sound control board disapear and i really need to use both22:12
menik667766any idea for this ¿22:12
OvenWerksARe you using ubuntustudio-controls to start jack?22:13
Eickmeyermenik667766: It's probably in the patchbay in Carla.22:13
menik667766yes because ardour request me to have it running22:14
=== oerheks1 is now known as oerheks
menik667766and looks like some aplications crash if is not running22:14
OvenWerksjack on it's own can only deal with one card at a time... however, -controls can play some tricks to make that happen22:14
menik667766so i was dealing wit ubuntu studio controls and QjackCtl to manage all input and output directions22:15
OvenWerksif you have ubuntustudio 20.04, the in ubuntustudio-controls in the audio setup tab there is a sub tab called Extra Devices22:15
menik667766right22:16
menik667766is what i have22:16
OvenWerkseither ubuntustudio-controls _or_ qjackctl but not both22:16
menik667766ok22:16
OvenWerksany in extra devices you can add your on board audio22:16
OvenWerksThere should be a dropdown list of devices called "Add (available)"22:17
OvenWerksin there you shold find your on board audio (PCH,0,0 probably) click on that and then apply Audio Settings22:18
menik667766right  PCH 0,0 playback and capture ( ALC255 analog)22:18
menik667766i've got it already added22:18
menik667766but then i need to set up any configuration in the pulse bridging?22:19
OvenWerksnow you will need to use Carla (can be opened from -controls in the lower right corner)22:19
OvenWerkspulse bridging is normally reasonable as it comes22:19
OvenWerksOne bridge set up22:20
OvenWerkswith Carla select the patchbay tab22:20
menik667766i need to apologize because i'm from spain and my knowledge of english is very limited... apologize for that22:20
menik667766for this reason i'm unable to fully understand some concepts in the configuration22:21
OvenWerksYou will see system and probably pulse_in and pulse_out. You should also see PCH,0,0-in and out22:21
menik667766( and thats the reason of my weird way of writing X-D)22:21
OvenWerksnot a problem your english is fine.22:21
menik667766i just can see system capture  1 and 2 and playback 1 and 2  in carla patchbay22:22
OvenWerkshuh, pch and pulse are backwards :)22:23
OvenWerksin pulse out is the output from pulse and in pch,0,0 out is the output to the card.22:23
EickmeyerClick on "Configure Carla", click "Engine", make sure Audio driver is set to JACK and Process mode is Multiple Clients.22:23
menik667766good now i can see them all22:24
menik667766system and pch  inputs and outputs22:24
OvenWerksyou want to put lines from your output of   whatever you want to listen to to the PCH out22:25
menik667766so system in/outs are from the USB device i guess , i'm a right?22:25
OvenWerksNow be aware that your headphones may be turned all the way down/muted22:25
Eickmeyer"system" is whatever you set to "master".22:25
OvenWerksyes system should be your USB box22:25
menik667766nice22:25
OvenWerkson the bottom left there is QASMixer you can open to turn those up.22:26
OvenWerks however when you open it you will have to change the device from your USB box to PCH22:26
menik667766wooow man ! i'm starting to understand  a little bit how does it works... because i was more lost than a fart inside a jacuzzy.. hahahah22:26
menik667766nice i can see the headset on the QAsMixer22:27
menik667766great i will try to set it up now and see the results !!22:28
menik667766thank you very much my friend!!!22:28
OvenWerksno problem22:28
