| sirriffsalot | OvenWerks: Eickmeyer I'm getting started on making this tutorial-video, but I'm missing one piece of the puzzle. In the case of fixing my missing calf-plugins, I had to edit the address of where it's at in the .ardour file. But where do I find the correct address for all my plugins? | 17:13 |
|---|---|---|
| sirriffsalot | Meaning, this for instance: "http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Equalizer5Band" | 17:13 |
| sirriffsalot | Some I can find in my Carla list when I search for the specific plugin, but some don't seem to list this address anywhere | 17:14 |
| sirriffsalot | OvenWerks: Eickmeyer I made a tutorial-video for the missing-plugins issue, using the KXStudio example, but it applies to all such cases I suppose. Would it be of any use to you think: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sg4zqsvt9uciger/How%20To%3A%20Fix%20%22Missing%20Plugins%22%20in%20Ardour.mp4?dl=0 ? | 18:58 |
| tomreyn | hi, i'd like to improve voice recording quality by buying a usb microphone. and just using it with alsa + pulseaudio, if possible. i'm wondering how well supported those mics are though, they seem to mostly have device specific drivers fro other OSes. | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | *for | 19:06 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: USB-microphones are pretty meh imo, also what are you planning on recording with, Ardour? | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | sirriffsalot: it's not professional, this is just to not sound completely terrible by using a laptop-internal mic or an in-ear phone headset when doing video conferencing really. | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | also i'd probably not really be using ubuntustudio but there just standard ubuntu (unless there are good reasons for this use case), i just hoped i could steal some knowledge here. | 19:26 |
| tomreyn | so i was thinking something like Blue Yeti or AT2020usb+, but i have no idea whether those work with linux, or whether i *have to* get an audio interface (which is otherwise not useful to me, because i don't do anything professional about audio really). | 19:39 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: if you're not planning on using ubunstudio then you're kinda asking in the wrong place.. | 19:51 |
| sirriffsalot | If you're planning on recording with ardour, you're gonna have to use the jack audio server | 19:51 |
| tomreyn | sirriffsalot: yes, i shouldn't have asked here in the first place, sorry. | 19:52 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: if you're just using this device to have a conference/call, you don't need to record the audio, just have skype or whatever select the usb-device via pulseaudio/pavucontrol | 19:52 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: no worries :) But your question was kinda misleading as well, hehe | 19:52 |
| Eickmeyer | sirriffsalot: tomreyn does a lot of support for non-Studio issues in this channel. | 19:52 |
| sirriffsalot | Eickmeyer: ok? | 19:53 |
| Eickmeyer | tomreyn: It's all good. If you're looking at a USB mic, most are pretty well supported. I think I have heard of people having no issues with Blue Yeti, but you might ask in #lau (Linux Audio Users) to be sure. | 19:53 |
| tomreyn | thanks Eickmeyer, but he's still right it's not ubuntu studio related, i shouldn't have brought it up here | 19:53 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: but if all you're doing are audio-calls, a USB-device should be just fine, I use them myself for that | 19:54 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: headset that is | 19:54 |
| tomreyn | great, thanks, Eickmeyer, i might ask in #lau then (didn't know about this channel!) once i looked up some more mics | 19:55 |
| sirriffsalot | Eickmeyer: any thoughts on the tutorial, btw, now that you're here? :) | 19:55 |
| tomreyn | actually for what i'm doing, a lavallier mic may actually be the better option | 19:55 |
| Eickmeyer | sirriffsalot: I haven't had a chance, and might not get to it today. :/ | 19:55 |
| tomreyn | and thanks to you as well | 19:56 |
| tomreyn | sirriffsalot: ^ | 19:56 |
| Eickmeyer | tomreyn: There's a plethora of lavallier mics that work with USB audio cards (the cheap $10 kind) on Amazon. | 19:56 |
| tomreyn | i just looked at Rode SmartLav+ | 19:57 |
| sirriffsalot | tomreyn: sure thing | 20:15 |
| sirriffsalot | Eickmeyer: alright, lemme know | 20:15 |
| OvenWerks | tomreyn: for USB audio interfaces (usb mics too) do not look at if it requires a driver for windows but rather if it requires a driver for macOS | 21:27 |
| OvenWerks | windows seems to have lagged way behind everyone else. if a USB device is "class compliant" (MacOS does not allow device drivers) then it should just work. | 21:28 |
