[15:56] Hello. I think about having a look at VeeSeeVSTRack. To install it the github page says unzip it and put the vst2_bin folder to a VST2 folder. [15:56] Where might such a folder be? [15:56] oh. i want test if it works with ardour (or lmms) [15:57] there is no official vst folder [15:58] OvenWerks: yes, good. But where can i put it than so that ardour finds it? [15:58] so ~/.vst or ~/.vst2 should be fine [15:58] ah, good. thanks. :-) [15:58] then in Ardour you can set the directory to look at. [15:59] ok, perfect. Will try it later. fingers crossed and all. [16:00] sorry for such a question, but i got that right that VST is like a Windows plugin "form" while ladspa and i forgot the other are the Linux variant? [16:00] edit->preferences->plugins->vst->linux VST path [16:00] great, thanks for the exact info. [16:01] vst can be windows linux or mac [16:01] however, a windows vst will only work in windows, a mac vst will only work in mac and a linux vst will only work in linux [16:02] i see. I misunderstood then. [16:02] linux vst are often call lxvst [16:03] Ardour at this time only supports vst2. I think vst3 will be in Ardour 7 (if we are lucky maybe 6.3) [16:04] I run into way more than i can handle. This is quite a complex subject it seems. Well, time will tell. [16:05] in other words: i am more than fine with what i got :-) [16:05] :) [19:18] Hi, is it possible in Ubuntustudio to prevent Carla from making automatic connections? [19:19] Everytime I open a program that uses Jack all my outputs are routet to the interface directly. As I'm using Sonarworks this is suboptimal [20:30] lilith93: I'd ask in #lau and specifically ask falktx as he's the developer of Carla. [20:32] Eickmeyer thanks. I'll ask him. In Cadence that's an option to ignore self connections, maybe he can implement the same in Carla. [20:32] lilith93: what makes you think Carla is making the connections? Carla would only auto connect Carla itself. [20:33] Each jack client decides to auto connect and if properly designed should have a setting to make no connections [20:34] OvenWerks: Ok, if I start Bitwirg and connects by itself that's not a problem. But if I have Bitwig connected to Sonarworks and Sonarworks to SystemOut and start Renoise, Bitwig get's connected to Systemout also [20:35] lilith93: At no point should you ever use Cadence in Ubuntu Studio. [20:35] so bitwig should have a setting to not autoconnect [20:35] !kxstudio | lilith93 [20:35] lilith93: KXStudio is a software repository for Debian-based operating systems for audio production. It is not supported by Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio, and using its repo is highly discouraged as it can overwrite system and user settings. Support in #kxstudio. See also https://askubuntu.com/a/1249739/952110 [20:35] Just FYI. :) [20:35] Ok, good to know [20:36] I read it's incompatible [20:36] I used it before with Debian [20:36] Yes, it's incompatible. You may, however, download individual plugins from kx.studio. [20:37] that's what I did [20:37] I dodn't add the repos [20:37] Perfect. :) [20:37] didn't [20:39] ubuntustudio works really GREAT out of the box! [20:39] Excellent. :) That's our goal. [20:39] performance in bitwig is better that on debian with tweaking [20:39] I don't know what's the difference is. Maybe some boot paramters? [20:40] Probably the lowlatency kernel. [20:41] I used the RT kernel in Debian [20:42] That's asking for security trouble. [20:42] !rt [20:42] The RT kernel is the Linux kernel with special realtime patches applied. It is not available in Ubuntu. See also !lowlatency and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel [20:42] er... [20:42] Yep, that's the one. [20:42] :-) [20:42] is the timer in the ubuntu lowlatency kernel 1000 Hz and can this make a difference compared to 250 Hz? [20:42] It's 1000hz. [20:43] ok, that was not available in Debian and the liquorix kernel was even worse [20:43] but I'm not going for low latency... I just relaized that the DSP load in Bitwig is supersmooth [20:43] Well, that's good. [20:44] https://imgur.com/q5dSkpK.png [20:44] It was much noisier with Debian [20:44] Yeah, that looks steady. Also, pushing the processor to performance does the trick too (in Studio Controls). [20:46] yes, sure.. that's the most crucial setting of all [20:46] btw. where are the parameters like rt prioritiy for audio group set in ubuntustudio? [20:48] i think in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf [20:48] usually it's in limits.conf [20:48] let me check [20:49] thanks that's it
