[14:19] <laguna> what is the default ubuntustudio audio recording app
[14:21] <tomreyn> i wouldn not expect there to be a default. a web search for "ubuntustudio audio recording app" points to https://ubuntustudio.org/tour/audio/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/AudioHandbook/BasicRecordingForMusicians
[14:22] <arraybolt3> I know that Audacity and Ardour are both included.
[14:22] <laguna> ok they are both ok as far as i can tell
[14:25] <Eickmeyer[m]> That's correct. No "default" per se, pick what you need and roll with it.
[15:20] <laguna> uh oh..ardour says cannot open alsa device...device or resource busy
[15:20] <laguna> but i don't get that message with audacity
[15:30] <Eickmeyer[m]> laguna: Is jack running?
[15:30] <laguna> Eickmeyer...yes i think...pavucontrol reports jack sink to pulse
[15:31] <Eickmeyer[m]> That's why then. You need to have ardour connect to jack, not alsa.
[15:32] <laguna> ok
[15:35] <laguna> yes ok it connects to jack and comes up
[15:36] <laguna> now blender doesn't work..it says unsupported graphics card
[15:37] <laguna> let me try k3d
[15:38] <Eickmeyer[m]> That doesn't make any sense. I'm not familiar enough with blender to help you though.
[15:38] <laguna> Eickmeyer...well k3d works still...but blender needs to be recompiled of this older graphics hardware
[15:39] <Eickmeyer[m]> Ah, I see. Yeah, everything for Ubuntu Studio is made with modern, high-performance hardware in mind, so that is something to keep in mind.
[15:40] <laguna> yes i will have to...i can still get blender to work on gentoo if i need it
[15:42] <laguna> but k3d is working ok here
[15:50] <laguna> k3d and ardour are ok for making short video clips like kara singing in 3 languages that makes people think
[15:50] <laguna> at this url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-pF56-ZYkY
[17:26] <laguna> blender 2.79 still works ok on gentoo..is there a way to get that version on ubuntu
[17:26] <laguna> if not...at least k3d still works
[18:08] <laguna> does ubuntustudio use pitivi for simple video editing
[18:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> We have kdenlive installed by default, but pitivi is in the repos.
[18:09] <laguna> or rather video clip making
[18:09] <Eickmeyer[m]> shotcut too.
[18:09] <laguna> does kdenlive need all the kdelibs
[18:10] <Eickmeyer[m]> No. The idea that KDE apps need the all of the KDE libs is false anymore. They just get what they need.
[18:10] <laguna> ok great
[18:11] <Eickmeyer[m]> Hasn't been true since KDE Frameworks 5 came out in 2014.
[18:11] <laguna> ok
[18:13] <laguna> shotcut looks nice for ubuntu studio
[18:15] <Eickmeyer[m]> It is, but we cater to high-performance and professional/prosumer, so kdenlive fits that niche because it's more featureful.
[18:16] <laguna> ok
[18:16] <laguna> well i just have hand me down low class hardware..because someone else upgraded
[18:18] <laguna> but you don't need all kinds of features to make $100 million dollar games...just good music, good storyline, and good graphics
[18:19] <Eickmeyer[m]> Sure. Customize it how you need it.
[18:34] <laguna> ok i got 2..79 source code for blender..i might try to compile it for ubuntu
[18:35] <laguna> just to get a few studio tools workiing
