[ubuntu-studio-users] USB device order/naming
Hi All What is the recommended way to force a USB audio device to always use the same name ? (dev1, dev3..) I have tried this procedure : http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleUSBAudioDevices But that doesnt seem to work (on ubuntu 12.4) all tips are wlecome ! grtz Thijs -- follow me on my Audio Linux blog http://audio-and-linux.blogspot.com/ ! -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Questions about production
Hi all maybe a bit off topic, but i'm interested in getting some advice on a 'simple cheap' USB audio device any tips? my requirements are these : - 1 stereo output (or 2 mono), ideally 2x 6.3mm mono jack (or cinch) - preferably with cable (so not the 'dongle' type of audio device) - inputs : dont really care, but 2x 6.3mm jack inputs would be nice - cost : really low ;-) - latency : approx 10ms will do - supported in linux OOTB maybe something like the behringer ucg 102? ( http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCG102.aspx) all tips are welcome grtz Thijs 2014-07-29 9:20 GMT+02:00 Shubham Mishra mishrashubham2...@gmail.com: OH!, i forgot to mention my opinion of USB mic's.. personally, i think they are great if they meet your needs.. they are one trick pony uni-tasking devices.. for example, you may be able to get a nice USB audio device and a nice actual mic for not much more cost than a decent USB mic, and those 2 things are *much* more versatile.. if you have a USB mic, for example, and you later decide to purchase a nicer preamp, you cant use it.. the USB audio device can also provide a nice instrument input, and be used as a fully functioning sound card.. so, for my money, i consider a USB mic to be a little bit of a wasted investment, unless the user is *only* doing something like a podcast, or only speech or one channel at a time with a mic.. good luck Thanks for the advice. Yeah, getting a dedicated audio interface sounds promising. Like you said, the hardware needs to support linux properly. Normally that wouldn't be an issue since I can easily find out from the internet which interfaces are linux compatible, getting them is more of a problem. E-commerce where I live, is a mess; Amazon US has everything though, but shipping will cost me a fortune. So that just leaves running around audio shops and picking up the right stuff. I'm a bit low on cash these days anyways, so I'll get the mic and the interface later. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users -- follow me on my Audio Linux blog http://audio-and-linux.blogspot.com/ ! -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] An Offert to the State
i dont see how ubuntu studio is going to replace microsoft products, but i'm all for it !! ;-) i'm not sure if there is a group of people (within ubuntu) that is actively promoting ubuntu, but it might be worth finding out and passing this message i also think that it's mostly cases it's not microsoft or canonical that will attend these meetings, but some reseller or a company that offers support for microsoft or linux apps grtz Thijs BTW: stay optimistic! it's contagious :-) 2013/11/7 Set Hallstrom sakrec...@gmail.com Hi All, In September i decided to find out the total amount of money that the state of Sweden spends on Microsoft and apple licenses/products each year. This took quite some time, but i got an estimate answer from the department in charge: between 450-500 _million_ Swedish crowns _each year_ (69'291'450.00 US Dollar). This sum is _only_ regarding Microsoft licenses. I've also been told that there is a regular meeting where investors and computer related whatnots are invited to present solutions and offers. (I’m still expecting the exact date of this). So i was wondering: - Should we organize the presence of Ubuntustudio at that meeting? Or should this be brought to the attention of Ubuntu as a whole (if not already aware)? - Would/Could this be a bad thing for Ubuntustudio? - And if it's a good thing: who is in? :) - Has there been any previous attempts that we could learn from? Obviously, since this is in Sweden, it would be good if some swedes responded, but hey! Europe is a union now isn't it? And Ubuntu is worldwide, unlike some U.S. devi.. hrm.. devels ;) Now, let me be straight: i'm aware GNU/Linux exists since way before i stopped playing NES, that i don't know even half of what has been attempted until today and also that i have no intention to become some wannabe messiah or nextlevel Stallman (i'm just a happy post-n00b computing in freedom). I know big money can be devastating for projects like ubuntustudio, and i am ready to eat any negative criticism like a good boy. My interest in this investigation is the betterment of my community, which by definition cannot be achieved by a single person.

Re: Graphics Cards
tricky i have a lenovo w530 running regular 12.04 64bit and at the time i installed it (a couple of weeks ago) the NVIDIA K1000M card was automatically detected and by selecting the experimental drivers (i believe that i could choose between 3 versions) i was able to use it right away :-) however, it does NOT always go so smooth ... the kernel i'm currently running is the 3.5.0-32-generic, but i very much doubt if the RT kernel that is supplied with studio would support it OOTB ... you can check the NVIDIA site to see what cards are supported, but then again i had little luck with installing the nvidia drivers that you can download from the nvidia site i'm nut using the nouveau driver since that does not allow me to use multiple screens, but if you need only 1 monitor it might just work for you. also i dont think that using the nvidia drivers will make a lot of difference if you if you only use your laptop for image editing, it will have an impact if you want to use it for 3d stuff or gaming i found a lot of useful info for my lenovo on http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki good luck Thijs 2013/6/9 Sudhangathan B S sudhangat...@gmail.com Heyy Studios, I am planning to buy a Laptop and have already decided to put Ubuntu Studio as it is my favorite Distribution since the last 4 to 5 years.

If anybody is successfully using a graphics card with Studio, i.e. with a fully working driver and smooth graphics, please let me know the model of the graphics card and the laptop(or even desktop) configurations.

language settings
Hi all i just installed Ubuntu studio 13.04 64bitand (i have been using Ubuntu since 7.x) i just noticed that the QT apps used the 'de' (german) language i live in belgium (speak dutch) however i alway set every thing to english US, so i have no id why it was set to german ?? i was able to fix this by editing the /etc/default/locale and removing all lines except the first one ( LANG=en_US.UTF-8) the original locale file looked like this : LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_BE.UTF-8 i'm not sure, but my guess is that the 'de' in the beginning of each line refers to the geman language ? grtz Thijs -- follow me on my Audio Linux blog http://audio-and-linux.blogspot.com/ ! -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: language settings
ok, thanks for the input but isnt it strange that the system switches to german while i never selected it at any time during install ? i just opened the language support and it seems that not all language support packages had been installed is this something you need to select during install ? cant remember :-S grtz Thijs 2013/5/13 Maik Adamietz maikadamiet...@gmail.com There was no need to edit the /etc/default/locale. All that needed to be done was to open Language Support from the Applications Menu in Settings. Then, if needed, download the language/translation packs, it checks for that when you start up Language Support. Then go to the Regional Formats and check if it's set to German (Deutsch), if so select English (United States) from the dropdown list. After that click on Apply System-Wide. Make sure after that's done, that on the first Tab (Languages) English (United States) and/or English are at the top of the list shown there. Click also here in Apply System-Wide.

Re: Audio interface analysis (AD/DA performance, preamp quality)
2012/8/2 Thomas Orgis thomas-fo...@orgis.org Hi folks, just a quick and hopefully easy question: What tool is there for Linux/JACK to do measurements of audio interface performance, comparable to what RightMark Audio Analyzer does? I'd like to measure data as displayed on http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20080728/44k.htm (at best a comparable methodology since RMAA seems to be some kind of standard for this). Of course I can generate some sine waves sweeps and write programs to compare WAVs, but for sure there is some tool for GNU/Linux that has the procedure automated already, right? Another of course: Of course, I'd like the computed spectral data not only pictures but also as plain (ASCII) data, p.ex. to be able to subtract spectra to determine what a microphone does on its own before entering a specific preamp.
