[00:26] <sakrecoer[b]> i found geonkick under "audio production" \o/
[00:27] <sakrecoer[b]> i was looking in "intruments", which is stupid, i should have just typed "geo" in the menu
[00:27] <sakrecoer[b]> it starts and shows in carla neatly
[00:28] <sakrecoer[b]> then i click "open" expecting to find patches...
[00:28] <sakrecoer[b]> of course there is none
[00:28] <sakrecoer[b]> but actually, there are at least 5 installed.
[00:30] <sakrecoer[b]> they are in `/usr/share/geonkick` makes total sense
[00:31] <sakrecoer[b]> if i know that my User is supposed to share stuff with my system, then i can load presets
[00:32] <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`
[00:34] <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 installed
[00:37] <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?
[00:40] <sakrecoer[b]> is there a way to fix that? if so: how? I would gladly do that job
[00:47] <sakrecoer[b]> lukily, geonkick has a tinywiny button in the left-right corner called "preset" \o/
[00:48] <sakrecoer[b]> i know open hydrogen
[00:49] <sakrecoer[b]>  * lukily, geonkick has a tinywiny button in the bottom-right corner called "preset" \o/
[00:50] <sakrecoer[b]> ok!...
[00:53] <sakrecoer[b]> sounds neat, but how else?
[00:53] <sakrecoer[b]> i click project > open
[00:53] <sakrecoer[b]> empty folder....
[01:01] <sakrecoer[b]> luckily ther is a tinywiny button in the middle-right...
[01:01] <sakrecoer[b]> pattern
[01:04] <sakrecoer[b]> i know US isn't building these instruments...
[01:04] <sakrecoer[b]> But how come there is no convetion?
[01:05] <sakrecoer[b]> i find a new one: RaySession
[01:06] <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!
[01:07] <sakrecoer[b]> isn't that what carla does?
[01:07] <sakrecoer[b]> and ardour? and qtractor?
[01:15] <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.
[01:16] <sakrecoer[b]> ask my questions *and do some exclamations
[01:18] <sakrecoer[b]> recording, mixing and rendering audio is pretty much like doing it on any system.
[01:19] <sakrecoer[b]> generating audio on the other hand.... wow. I'm 12 years old again: no idea what i'm doing nor why
[01:42] <sakrecoer[b]> the conflict in my head is between grateful and ultimately frustrated!
[01:45] <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!
[01:47] <sakrecoer[b]> kryten: you logged this? good! <3
[01:49] <krytarik> You mean besides our trusted ubuntulog? :P  Yep, we do for your later perusal if needed!
[01:49] <sakrecoer[b]> excellent!
[01:53] <wonko> rgh: dude, that's really nice. Awesome job (the music)
[01:54] <wonko> I just re-read what you said. Nevermind. :-P
[01:55] <wonko> ReySession is super useful for managing all the crap you end up running
[10:17] <sakrecoer[b]> wonko yes! very useful indeed! it's all over the place without it.
[15:34] <rgh> 徒 𝖘𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖔 セット: raysession is a jack session manager that is supposed to remember the connections between jack apps, all saved as a session.
[15:35] <rgh> There's also nsm (new session manager) which is the latest craze
[15:35] <rgh> I personally never use the modular approach.
[15:37] <rgh> For synth plugins, especially lv2, the host is supposed to let you switch between presets/programs.
[15:37] <rgh> There are ofc plenty of plugins that provide their own preset management.
