[ubuntu-studio-users] Kazam not working properly in UbuntuStudio 13.10?
Hi all, I'm trying to use Kazam to do a screencast with UbuntuStudio 13.10, and I'm finding that what it used to work in UbuntuStudio 13.04 is not working anymore. Maybe I'm a little bit confused, so let me explain what I'm trying to do: I just want to get Ardour3 working and get a screencast with the sound generated by Ardour. What I was hoping to do was to route the ardour master out signal to PulseAudio Jack Source in Qjackctl (no problem with this), then with pavucontrol get PulseAudio Jack Source as the default Input Device (no problem with this either), then in Kazam set to record from Microphone, for which I would like to get the signal from PulseAudio Jack Source, at least that is how I did it in the past with UbuntuStudio 13.04 (as you can see in http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com.es/2013/09/music-production-with-linux-part-i.html). But now, for some reason, the options in Kazam in UbuntuStudio 13.10 are different: PulseAudio Jack Source is and option for Speakers and PulseAudio Jack Sink is an option for Microphone. I thought that perhaps this was only a change in naming (from PulseAudio-centric view to Jack-centric view), but I cannot get it to work: if I select to get the audio from the Microphone, Kazam records the video and I can stop it and view the resulting video, but there is no sound (which in my understanding is OK, since there are no PulseAudio applications putting sound in PulseAduio JACK sink), but if I try to record from Speakers (i.e. PulseAudio JACK source), when I hit the stop recording button, Kazama does not give me the option to save the file. When I kill jackd then I get the option to save the file, but the resulting file has no video, no sound If you are still with me here, has anyone tried to record a screencast with Kazam and with Jack running in UbuntuStudio 13.10? Perhaps I got something conceptually wrong? Any ideas/pointers?

Hi, José Américo Gobbo jag.rabi...@gmail.com writes: Hi, perhaps is useful you'll test simplescreenrecorder... works very fine in many distros... included manjaro. For me works fine also with dual monitors. bye americo well, after posting my original message I did search for other screencasters, and stumbled upon simplescreenrecorder and screencastor. I tried the first one with the same settings as I had for Kazam and, bingo, it did work no problem. (I have yet to try with screencastor). It is a pity that Kazam somehow got apparently broken in the latest release, because it is very easy to use and the video quality of the screencasts produced is very good. But I guess simplescreenrecorder is going to be my choice from now on.

Hi, leo le...@yahoo.com writes: Right now I am trying to figure out the best regimen for what exactly, and how, to make backups. I have a handful of 4GB and 32GB SanDisk thumbdrives, and my 2 SATA hard drives, and Ubuntu One, as well as DropBox. If it can be of any help, my regular procedure if I need a backup when doing a major upgrade (or a reinstallation) is to use ClonezillaLive (http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php). Basically you can create a clone of your hard disk, then you are safe to upgrade, reinstall, whatever, and you always have the clone that will restore your hard disk to exactly the same state it had before cloning it. A wonderful time-saver, and really ease to use. I actually create clones of my work PCs this way, creating a new clone every month or so, apart from regular daily incremental backups of data, so that if updates of software start messing up my computer I can always go back to a previous state, and then replace the data (work documents, etc.) with the daily incremental backups.

Hi, Ah, OK, thanks. That was it, yes. I went through the menus and I went for Saucy Final, downloaded the right ISO (which it was just the same one I had before (current)), and I'm trying it right now. this is a bit confusing for a first-timer The details for the Live Session testcase seem to be: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1303/info I have no idea what Try FAMILY refers to. In any case, I managed to boot it without any trouble. I did a limited testing, just starting Jack Server, QSynth and the Virtual MIDI keyboard and try to get some sound. I found two things: 1) This cannot be considered a bug, so I don't know what the right place to share this would be. QSynth does not have any soundfonts loaded by default. I guess it would be nice if it had as default one of the soundfonts installed, so I could get sound out of it from the very start. 2) This should be considered a bug, but I guess it is something minor and not really a bug in respect to the LiveCD ISO, so I submitted it as a bug, (Volume indicator in XFCE panel shows as muted, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/1240464), but checked the Live Session test for the i386 ISO as Passed with no bugs. Is this sort of minimal testing useful or the testing should be more thorough? As someone commented above, I think having a sort of checklist would help to decide whether something like point 2 above should be considered a bug for this testcase or not. Anyway, my first time testing an ISO, my first reporting a bug. I hope I did it OK and that it can be helpful.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Problems installing Ubuntu Studio 13.04 alongside Xubuntu 12.10
Hi all, I was just wondering if somebody has encountered this problem or know how to solve it. In my computer I have Xubuntu 12.10, and I want to install Ubuntu Studio 13.04 alongside it. I created a USB key with 13.04, and I'm trying to install from it. I launch the installation program, and it recognizes that Xubuntu 12.10 is already installed and it offers to install UbuntuStudio 13.04 alongside it. Great, but when I try to continue, it olny offers me the option to install Ubuntu Studio in /sdb (the USB key), and not in /sda (the hard disk and where Xubuntu is installed). Any tips? I could go for the manual partitioning stuff, but it's quite some time since I manually did an installation like this, so I'm not very sure I'd remember how to do it...

Myself I always use the manual partitioning to make sure it doesn't land on anything I would like to keep. I have been somewhat unlucky with the other choices of installations when I have several OS installed already. Since you have used the manual setup before I think you will manage just fine when you see it again. OK, so after Cloning the disk in case something goes wrong (CloneZilla is a godsend), I manually resized the old partition for Xubuntu, created a new one for UStudio and told the installer to use that one.

I personally would use Pd or ZynAddSubFX, but if you're really feeling adventurous you could also use CSound. I haven't even looked at the others.

Shifting pitch in a MIDI file?
Hi all, yesterday I was trying to find a way to shift the pitch in a MIDI file but couldn't figure out a way to do it, so I'm looking for advice here... My situation is as follows. I have a MIDI file of a piece (for four guitars), and I just want to mute one of the tracks and play along with my real guitar (a sort of virtual quartet...). But the problem is that the tuning of my computer is wrong (I read somewhere that DELL laptops had this problem. I'm not sure, but in any case the standard A at 440Hz sounds actually like a C). I could tune up my guitar, but that is quite inconvenient, specially if later I want to play with more instruments, so I was hoping that I could find a way to tune up or down the whole MIDI output. The Virtual Keyboard has a pitch wheel, which it would be exactly what I'm looking for if it could be applied to the whole MIDI output... In Rosegarden I didn't find anything... In Qtractor I could load up plugins that seemed promising (if I remember correctly I could find four plugins with names like pitchshift, but I couldn't make them to work, plus they applied to individual tracks, and not to the whole MIDI output). Any pointers?

MIDI does also know a master tune, but this isn't supported by every synth. You might have not an issue for the sample rates, regarding to the bad tuning, I once had this too. I did a new install and the tuning was ok. You mean add a track and send the pitch (from the virtual keyboard) to it? I've never done anything like this, so if you have pointers to documentation that I can read in order to do this sort of thing I would be grateful. Perhaps you can record the MIDI instruments to audio tracks and fix it with rubberband or a pitch shift effect, if it's not to extremely out of tune. This is for practice with my guitar, so I like the ability from Rosegarden to change the tempo, play it slowly, and increase the speed as I get better at it, so I would prefer a way to do it from the MIDI sequencer.

MIDI does also know a master tune, but this isn't supported by every synth. You might have not an issue for the sample rates, regarding to the bad tuning, I once had this too. I did a new install and the tuning was ok. You mean add a track and send the pitch (from the virtual keyboard) to it? I've never done anything like this, so if you have pointers to documentation that I can read in order to do this sort of thing I would be grateful. In the end, changing the software synthesizer to ZynAddSubFx instead of QSynth seems to do the trick, since it has options to do a Glogal or a per-instrument keyshift, plus a fine tune/detune knob, with an integrated keyboard to test the exact tuning in Hz, so I think this should be fine.

Hi, On 13/12/10 14:54, Ricardo Lameiro wrote: Nice that you found a solution, but it seems to me that you could have some problem with sample rates. maybe you are playing a 44.1ks/s in 48kS/s this could pitch up or the reverse pitchdown. This is often overlook. maybe someone more experienced on this matter can contribute some ideas in here. I'm a complete newbie on these matters, so I might be completely wrong, but I thought that sample rates were relevant to audio files, but not to MIDI files? Well, I think the problem is not even related to the MIDI file: If I just play A in the Virtual Keyboard, it does not play a 440Hz A, it is somewhere around C. Any ideas where to look for what could be wrong with my software/computer?

Hi again, On 13/12/10 15:14, Ricardo Lameiro wrote: You are right, the midi file doesn't carry audio data. but what I was saying is on the sampler/synth side. If the synth is working at 48 Ksamples/s and then played back at 44.1 it will pitch down. If there is no resampling this is the result. Now i don't understand why the output isn't resampled. maybe you could try to look at the sample rate settings in jack and on the synths. But as I said maybe someone with more knowledge can say something. OK, thanks. In the computer I'm at, everything seems to be at 44100Hz (but I have no tuner to see it the A is actually produced at 440Hz, and sadly I don't have absolute pitch), but I will try later on at my laptop and report back.

Hi, On 13/12/10 17:59, Lars-Erik Helander wrote: I have had similar problems in the past with Qsynth and the remedy was - as indicated by others in this thread - to make sure that the sampling setting in Qsynth matches that of Jack (44100 or 48000). In case you are unsure how to set it up properly, press the Setup button of Qsynth, then select the Audio tab and try the various options available for Sample Rate. The ones most likely to work would be 44100 or 48000. yes, that was the problem. Jack was set to 48000 while Qsynth was set at 44100. When both are at 48000 the Free Music Instrument Tuner reports a nice 440Hz Concert A with the Virtual Keyboard. But this doesn't seem to affect the other synth that I tried: ZynAddSubFX: with this one, either 44100 or 48000 sample rate produce a concert A in tune... In any case, I think the problem can be considered solved now.
