[08:42] <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-time
[09:00] <vlt> triiif[m]: I use jack to control audio outputs.
[12:08] <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/BUTT
[12:20] <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 this
[12:37] <sakrecoer[m]> too bad, the version available in ubuntu doesn't allow for source names (basically username for authentication of clients)
[12:47] <sakrecoer[m]> BUTT did the cut :)
[12:49] <sakrecoer[m]> gah! no jack support :'(
[15:18] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer[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 OS
[15:18] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer[m]: if a new version shows up it will end up in backports
[15:25] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer[m]: changing major libs requirements in an LTS does not help either.
[15:47] <sakrecoer[m]> Thanks for the info OvenWerks. I really love IDJC so this is music to my text reading eyes!
[15:48] <sakrecoer[m]> My best shot so far to accomplish radio streaming is downgrading mixxx. It's acceptable but not ideal.
[15:50] <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..  :)
[15:51] <sakrecoer[m]> (twitch/YouTube/Facebook being sorted out with OBS-studio, which unfortunately does not handle audio only situations)
[16:05] <OvenWerks> some peopole who use rivendell use idjc for control room purposes
[16:06] <OvenWerks> sakrecoer[m]: the only thing we have left for that is OBS
[16:06] <OvenWerks> OBS looks like it is mostly for video can be used with audio streams only too
[16:07] <OvenWerks> for obs though you would really need some kind of audio mixer as well.
[16:07] <OvenWerks> IDJC is really the best control room sw I have seen
[21:45] <menik667766> hi all !
[21:46] <menik667766> anyone availabe to helpme ?
[21:47] <OvenWerks> Without knowing what the problem is that is hard to answer...
[21:48] <menik667766> you're right ovenwerks
[21:49] <menik667766> the 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)
[21:50] <OvenWerks> That is odd.
[21:50] <menik667766> so there's an easy way to restore the ubuntu studio ? like a factory reset?
[21:50] <OvenWerks> I guess so. from the login screen press ctl-alt-F1
[21:51] <OvenWerks> you should find yourself in a terminal
[21:51] <OvenWerks> login (user name enter password enter)
[21:51] <OvenWerks> rm -r .config
[21:51] <OvenWerks> exit
[21:52] <menik667766> woops, sorry my knowledge of commands in linux are ... how to say... almost nule. i'm really new on it
[21:52] <OvenWerks> press ctl-alt-F7 should bring you back to the login screen
[21:52] <menik667766> ok i will take a look on it  thanks for your help, if i cannot succeed i will consider to reinstall all software .
[21:53] <menik667766> but it looks weird to me , that  seems , some audio aplications are running in background without my permision
[21:54] <OvenWerks> the 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 system
[21:57] <menik667766> great that could make sense to me ,
[21:58] <menik667766> because 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 latency
[21:58] <menik667766> maybe i have have set it to low?
[21:59] <OvenWerks> possibly
[22:00] <menik667766> so which could be the proper values to set up an alesis multimix 4 ?
[22:01] <menik667766> because by default ubuntu studio set a latency of 1024 , this makes unable to record (processing effects on the pc) due to the big delay
[22:02] <OvenWerks> I 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 better
[22:04] <OvenWerks> My 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] <menik667766> now i've got the sample rate according to manufacturer specs , 44100,   the latency on 64, jack periods  2, and set up as alsa
[22:05] <OvenWerks> but below about 128 or 64 some of the desktop applications give trouble
[22:05] <OvenWerks> that sound ok. you could go up to  128 and see if that helps.
[22:05] <menik667766> do you recommend me to set it up to 128 , but in the jack periods which value do you recommend me?
[22:06] <OvenWerks> 128/2
[22:06] <OvenWerks> 64/3 might work well too
[22:08] <menik667766> good let me try just a second
[22:09] <menik667766> nice , at least looks like my system is not getting slower as before.
[22:09] <menik667766> OvenWerks , you're so kind , and i really apreciate your advices
[22:09] <menik667766> thank you very much
[22:09] <OvenWerks> your welcome
[22:10] <menik667766> besides this i've got a second small issue with the system that maybe you can solve it very fast
[22:11] <OvenWerks> maybe... I am not so good with video/desktop issues :)
[22:12] <menik667766> now 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 both
[22:12] <menik667766> any idea for this ¿
[22:13] <OvenWerks> ARe you using ubuntustudio-controls to start jack?
[22:13] <Eickmeyer> menik667766: It's probably in the patchbay in Carla.
[22:14] <menik667766> yes because ardour request me to have it running
[22:14] <menik667766> and looks like some aplications crash if is not running
[22:14] <OvenWerks> jack on it's own can only deal with one card at a time... however, -controls can play some tricks to make that happen
[22:15] <menik667766> so i was dealing wit ubuntu studio controls and QjackCtl to manage all input and output directions
[22:15] <OvenWerks> if you have ubuntustudio 20.04, the in ubuntustudio-controls in the audio setup tab there is a sub tab called Extra Devices
[22:16] <menik667766> right
[22:16] <menik667766> is what i have
[22:16] <OvenWerks> either ubuntustudio-controls _or_ qjackctl but not both
[22:16] <menik667766> ok
[22:16] <OvenWerks> any in extra devices you can add your on board audio
[22:17] <OvenWerks> There should be a dropdown list of devices called "Add (available)"
[22:18] <OvenWerks> in there you shold find your on board audio (PCH,0,0 probably) click on that and then apply Audio Settings
[22:18] <menik667766> right  PCH 0,0 playback and capture ( ALC255 analog)
[22:18] <menik667766> i've got it already added
[22:19] <menik667766> but then i need to set up any configuration in the pulse bridging?
[22:19] <OvenWerks> now you will need to use Carla (can be opened from -controls in the lower right corner)
[22:19] <OvenWerks> pulse bridging is normally reasonable as it comes
[22:20] <OvenWerks> One bridge set up
[22:20] <OvenWerks> with Carla select the patchbay tab
[22:20] <menik667766> i need to apologize because i'm from spain and my knowledge of english is very limited... apologize for that
[22:21] <menik667766> for this reason i'm unable to fully understand some concepts in the configuration
[22:21] <OvenWerks> You will see system and probably pulse_in and pulse_out. You should also see PCH,0,0-in and out
[22:21] <menik667766> ( and thats the reason of my weird way of writing X-D)
[22:21] <OvenWerks> not a problem your english is fine.
[22:22] <menik667766> i just can see system capture  1 and 2 and playback 1 and 2  in carla patchbay
[22:23] <OvenWerks> huh, pch and pulse are backwards :)
[22:23] <OvenWerks> in pulse out is the output from pulse and in pch,0,0 out is the output to the card.
[22:23] <Eickmeyer> Click on "Configure Carla", click "Engine", make sure Audio driver is set to JACK and Process mode is Multiple Clients.
[22:24] <menik667766> good now i can see them all
[22:24] <menik667766> system and pch  inputs and outputs
[22:25] <OvenWerks> you want to put lines from your output of   whatever you want to listen to to the PCH out
[22:25] <menik667766> so system in/outs are from the USB device i guess , i'm a right?
[22:25] <OvenWerks> Now be aware that your headphones may be turned all the way down/muted
[22:25] <Eickmeyer> "system" is whatever you set to "master".
[22:25] <OvenWerks> yes system should be your USB box
[22:25] <menik667766> nice
[22:26] <OvenWerks> on 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 PCH
[22:26] <menik667766> wooow man ! i'm starting to understand  a little bit how does it works... because i was more lost than a fart inside a jacuzzy.. hahahah
[22:27] <menik667766> nice i can see the headset on the QAsMixer
[22:28] <menik667766> great i will try to set it up now and see the results !!
[22:28] <menik667766> thank you very much my friend!!!
[22:28] <OvenWerks> no problem
