| Eickmeyer[m] | linuxgecko: I have zero experience with a goxlr, so I wouldn't be able to say. That said, with all of the plugins and a 4 channel audio interface and a cheap MIDI controller, one can use Ardour to do literally everything a GoXLR does. | 01:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer[m] | From my perspective, a GoXLR is a waste of money. | 01:27 |
| linuxgecko | i believe i agree with you, but i'm trying to tip the scale for my friend. it's on my side :/ | 01:47 |
| linuxgecko | bah.. ww. | 01:47 |
| linuxgecko | the lack of a goxlr is tipping the scale for him to win10. since he already has it. and i wanted to see is anyone had experience with it | 01:48 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | The problem is the GoXLR software is win10 only, linuxgecko . | 02:04 |
| linuxgecko | it doesn't addess as a usb soufcard? | 02:05 |
| OvenWerks | I am lookig at the manual for the device wondering what would I ever use this thing for? | 02:05 |
| linuxgecko | sound* | 02:05 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | linuxgecko: Yes, but any customization is done from the software, afaik. | 02:05 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | It's not just a mixer. It's a crazy piece of hardware. | 02:05 |
| linuxgecko | so it COULD work , ish, in ubuntu studio, but not likely as expected in windows. | 02:06 |
| OvenWerks | linuxgecko: I would need to play with one to see what it does. | 02:07 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Only if it's class-compliant, and I don't know anything from Elgato being class compliant. | 02:07 |
| OvenWerks | It looks like it may show up as an audio device as well as a controller | 02:07 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Elgato is an interesting company in that they lock everything down to their drivers. | 02:07 |
| OvenWerks | if the controller part is MIDI and both the audio and midi are class compliant... and it looks like audio goes in and out via 1/8 jack in some cases? | 02:09 |
| OvenWerks | hard to say. | 02:09 |
| OvenWerks | The specs do say USB 2.0... but because it does not mention Mac... I am not sure what that means. | 02:13 |
| OvenWerks | It is certain that it is meant to run with the windows app... and as we generally say if you want to run windows sw, use windows. | 02:14 |
| OvenWerks | we might be surprised and find it shows up as a 4/4 i/o audio device and a "joystick" or similar | 02:15 |
| Kapu[m] | Hi, I'm looking for information about using ubuntu-studio on a raspberry-pi. Is that possible? It's for a friend who would like to make music, but has a small budget. Or would you recommend another type of card? | 10:09 |
| Kapu[m] | I didn't find any specific information on the ubuntu-studio website. | 10:09 |
| OvenWerks | Kapu[m]: ubuntu-studio does not supply an armhf iso. But then that may not be how RPi are installed anyway | 14:02 |
| OvenWerks | I suspect anything less than the RPi4 would not be suitable because the USB port on older RPi is shared with other things. | 14:04 |
| OvenWerks | I have heard that the RPi4 does run things like Ardour ok. | 14:04 |
| Kapu[m] | <OvenWerks "I suspect anything less than the"> Yes, but is ubuntu-studio ok for arm ? | 14:05 |
| OvenWerks | installing studio on a Pi would mean (I expect) installing ubuntu base for arm64, adding a desktop and then installing ubuntustudio-installer | 14:07 |
| OvenWerks | I am not sure how to do this. | 14:07 |
| ajan | Kapu[m]: you need ARM compiled binaries for an ARM platform, and as far as I see, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/20.04/release/ only serves AMD64 binaries. | 14:08 |
| OvenWerks | ajan: yes but the packages are all available as arm64 as well | 14:08 |
| OvenWerks | Kapu[m]: I have not installed ubuntu on a RPi ever, I only have a Pi2 (with debian on it that it came with). So I can only pass along what I have heard. This Page: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-raspberry-pi#1-overview looks like a great place to start. | 14:17 |
| OvenWerks | Kapu[m]: as I said above, the packages used in Studio all have arm64 variants. | 14:19 |
| OvenWerks | Kapu[m]: what I would worry about is that some of the tweaks in the settings package for Studio will not apply to the Pi. If I had a Pi4, I would certainly try just to see. | 14:20 |
| Kapu[m] | Ok, thanks :) | 14:23 |
| OvenWerks | Kapu[m]: I would not install all the studio packages, just the audio related ones | 14:24 |
| OvenWerks | but I guess it depends on the size of the "drive" | 14:24 |
| ajan | OvenWerks: I have not tried it to, but I think it would be best to start with the desktop version of Ubuntu MATE from raspberrypi.org, and then try to install ubuntustudio-installer. Starting from the Ubuntu server instruction posted above, will be much extra work and configurations. | 14:24 |
| ajan | I only have RPI 1 and 2 and they are too slow for a full desktop | 14:25 |
| OvenWerks | That I know... from experiance :) | 14:26 |
| OvenWerks | I would probably not use MATE to install, going the server install desktop is more work but would allow using a trim desktop like lubuntu or xubuntu. Or even ubuntustudio directly | 14:30 |
| AppAraat[m] | hi, I'm experimenting with 20.04 and I remember there was some app I used to theme stuff like `ubuntustudio-controls` with. Mainly I want to change it to a dark theme but I forgot which app that was. Any ideas? | 18:29 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | AppAraat: That's part of the system settings, ubuntustudio-controls has nothing to do with themes. Just go to the settings>appearance. | 18:30 |
| AppAraat[m] | I'm running i3, so there's no Settings :p | 18:31 |
| AppAraat[m] | though I remember it being a GUI app I could launch from terminal | 18:31 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | AppAraat: Theming is part of the desktop environment and we don't support i3. | 18:31 |
| AppAraat[m] | found it! It's called `lxappearance` :) | 18:34 |
| AppAraat[m] | (and its settings are apparently saved in `~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini` - pretty useful for adding this to my dotfile git repo) | 18:44 |
