[01:27] <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.
[01:47] <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.
[01:48] <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
[02:04] <Eickmeyer[m]> The problem is the GoXLR software is win10 only, linuxgecko .
[02:05] <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.
[02:06] <linuxgecko> so it COULD work , ish,  in ubuntu studio, but not likely as expected in windows.
[02:07] <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.
[02:09] <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.
[02:13] <OvenWerks> The specs do say USB 2.0... but because it does not mention Mac... I am not sure what that means.
[02:14] <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.
[02:15] <OvenWerks> we might be surprised and find it shows up as a 4/4 i/o audio device and a "joystick" or similar
[10:09] <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.
[14:02] <OvenWerks> Kapu[m]: ubuntu-studio does not supply an armhf iso. But then that may not be how RPi are installed anyway
[14:04] <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.
[14:05] <Kapu[m]> <OvenWerks "I suspect anything less than the"> Yes, but is ubuntu-studio ok for arm ?
[14:07] <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.
[14:08] <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
[14:17] <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.
[14:19] <OvenWerks> Kapu[m]: as I said above, the packages used in Studio all have arm64 variants.
[14:20] <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.
[14:23] <Kapu[m]> Ok, thanks :)
[14:24] <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.
[14:25] <ajan> I only have RPI 1 and 2 and they are too slow for a full desktop
[14:26] <OvenWerks> That I know... from experiance :)
[14:30] <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
[18:29] <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?
[18:30] <Eickmeyer[m]> AppAraat: That's part of the system settings, ubuntustudio-controls has nothing to do with themes. Just go to the settings>appearance.
[18:31] <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.
[18:34] <AppAraat[m]> found it! It's called `lxappearance` :)
[18:44] <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)
