Re: Mackie 802-VLZ3 + Studio Monitors
Sorry I'm late into the convesation and will be away when I love talking about this! 1) Regarding the mixer, you've chosen a very good brand for it. Mackie es definitely not the cheapest, but its the one I recommend to everyone. they''ve got the most renowned built-in amps (very very silent) and very good eq's (esp. parametric ones on bigger mixers). The one you talk about is compact enough for home and has many uses, but as a musician I can see one downside: it has no inserts! make sure you wont be needing them, otherwise you'll find yourself re-routing signals and wasting channels on your small mixer. the plus side is the following size up mackie, the 1202 comes with them if needed. 2) Studio monitors are imporant too. You want to choose something thats reliable that tells you the truth about whats sounding. But also that would depend on what sort of music you're making (electronic, or hiphop will be monitored differently from a pop/rock track). I'm guessing you'll be recording, mixing, and mastering on the same speakers so you probably want a very flat response from them. I use the Yamaha HS-50s which are remarkably flat. Best thing to do is go to music production shop, take a mix cd with tracks you know very well and try 2 or 3 monitors you might want to buy. good luck! john -- 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: Xinerama Nvidia RT
Ok will consider using intel when and if I upgrade. For now unfortunately I'm stuck with what I've got. Which kind of brings back the original question... Having the NV open drivers, and 2d graphics enabled, is it possible to have xinerama enabled via xorg.config or another way? or is it only possible with proprietary drivers? thanks for your input john -- 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
Xinerama Nvidia RT
Hi all I know its been discussed recently but this is slightly different (i think) I have 8.04 (32bit) Desktop and Studio versions installed on two different hard drives on my AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+. My Desktop edition works beautifully. My Studio version has been causing a lot of problems (crashes mostly) I figured out its probably because of 3D graphics acceleration and the rt kernel. I disabled the NVIDIA drivers and used the open NV drivers instead, making the system work alright. The main problem is that I would really much like to have 2 screens with xinerama enabled to work with ardour, hydrogen etc. I tried modifying xorg manually in all sorts of ways but havent managed to have xinerama enabled with the NV drivers... Is this even possible? There must be a way to use open drivers and 2 screens! Any suggestions? thanks john -- 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
