sakrecoer[b]i found geonkick under "audio production" \o/00:26
sakrecoer[b]i was looking in "intruments", which is stupid, i should have just typed "geo" in the menu00:27
sakrecoer[b]it starts and shows in carla neatly00:27
sakrecoer[b]then i click "open" expecting to find patches...00:28
sakrecoer[b]of course there is none00:28
sakrecoer[b]but actually, there are at least 5 installed.00:28
sakrecoer[b]they are in `/usr/share/geonkick` makes total sense00:30
sakrecoer[b]if i know that my User is supposed to share stuff with my system, then i can load presets00:31
sakrecoer[b]Why is none of the synth opening their library in their respective location?00:32
sakrecoer[b]they all open /home/little-me-uknowing-user`00:32
sakrecoer[b] * they all open `/home/little-me-uknowing-user`00:32
sakrecoer[b]so my impression is that, i get cool synth but i will have no example to follow. i will have to learn from scratch.00:34
sakrecoer[b]except, it's not true: there are PLENTY of examples installed00:34
sakrecoer[b]i'm not saying pathces should move from `/usr/share/whatever`... i'm just wondering why my shamelessly freely acquired synth isn't opening it's own oasis of goodness?00:37
sakrecoer[b]is there a way to fix that? if so: how? I would gladly do that job00:40
sakrecoer[b]lukily, geonkick has a tinywiny button in the left-right corner called "preset" \o/00:47
sakrecoer[b]i know open hydrogen00:48
sakrecoer[b] * lukily, geonkick has a tinywiny button in the bottom-right corner called "preset" \o/00:49
sakrecoer[b]ok!...00:50
sakrecoer[b]sounds neat, but how else?00:53
sakrecoer[b]i click project > open00:53
sakrecoer[b]empty folder....00:53
sakrecoer[b]luckily ther is a tinywiny button in the middle-right...01:01
sakrecoer[b]pattern01:01
sakrecoer[b]i know US isn't building these instruments...01:04
sakrecoer[b]But how come there is no convetion?01:04
sakrecoer[b]i find a new one: RaySession01:05
sakrecoer[b]has no menu... what does it do? i can activate a menu and in it there is "help"01:06
sakrecoer[b]it's goal is to manage ardour carla, qtractor non-timeline in an unique session!01:06
sakrecoer[b]\o/ amazing!01:06
sakrecoer[b]isn't that what carla does?01:07
sakrecoer[b]and ardour? and qtractor?01:07
sakrecoer[b]just needed to get myself out here and sort of ask my stupid questions in the wild. It's mighty confusing and redundant. And it's none of the awesome US dev-teams fault. I'll get through it eventually.01:15
sakrecoer[b]Just wish i could pick my sounds like i pick my fonts.01:15
sakrecoer[b]ask my questions *and do some exclamations01:16
sakrecoer[b]recording, mixing and rendering audio is pretty much like doing it on any system.01:18
sakrecoer[b]generating audio on the other hand.... wow. I'm 12 years old again: no idea what i'm doing nor why01:19
sakrecoer[b]the conflict in my head is between grateful and ultimately frustrated!01:42
sakrecoer[b]by march i'll have a fudged up boombastic EP of `lnx trp` or i'll permantently move under my rock (with my hardware gear) and sleep on a shame pillow of multitracked audio for at least 2 years to come!01:45
sakrecoer[b]kryten: you logged this? good! <301:47
krytarikYou mean besides our trusted ubuntulog? :P  Yep, we do for your later perusal if needed!01:49
sakrecoer[b]excellent!01:49
wonkorgh: dude, that's really nice. Awesome job (the music)01:53
wonkoI just re-read what you said. Nevermind. :-P01:54
wonkoReySession is super useful for managing all the crap you end up running01:55
sakrecoer[b]wonko yes! very useful indeed! it's all over the place without it.10:17
rghεΎ’ π–˜π–Šπ–™π–™π–” γ‚»γƒƒγƒˆ: raysession is a jack session manager that is supposed to remember the connections between jack apps, all saved as a session.15:34
rghThere's also nsm (new session manager) which is the latest craze15:35
rghI personally never use the modular approach.15:35
rghFor synth plugins, especially lv2, the host is supposed to let you switch between presets/programs.15:37
rghThere are ofc plenty of plugins that provide their own preset management.15:37
