 The thing is that I have two soundcards, a pci and an usb, where only
 the usb is used for jack.
 I think that I don't need the script, and would like to turn it off.
 My question is: how?

The easiest way is to delete /usr/bin/qjackctl and move /usr/bin/qjackctl.bin 
back to /usr/bin/qjackctl. This won't stay the same accross updates of the 
pacage, but hopefully by he time intrepid releases, we may have a better 
solution.

Hope this helps.

Try setting the sample rate to 48000.

Also try another program such as rezound.  You may also wish to see if
jack starts up with the USB device (qjackctl under setup you can choose
the input device in a drop down box).

Re: Hardy doesn't recognize usb turntable

2008-05-04 Thread Evan Gill
Ughgh (shivers..) Usb and turntable, do those even belong in the same
sentence?
If you still have the receipt, return it. 
You can rent good turntables for like a month and a preamp. Somthing
that acctually has mass. Or even buy a good table, tonearm, cartridge
and preamp, and then connect them to your regular audio interface. Way
better sound quality, and reduces pips and pops. While also getting a
more true sound reproduction that you would be used to. For example, you
probably without a good tonearm are not getting much bass or treble
reproduction. Good heavy tonearms are the way to go. Also a good
cartridge, similar to having a decent sounding mic is critical. Mics
have different responses and so do cartridges. The turntable/platter
itself is just a motor and a platter. Here your looking for good heavy
platters on isolators that are not susceptible to noise transmitting
from furniture. The motor your just looking for something that is quiet
and maintains the correct speed. Go bumming around garage sales, or pawn
shops, I once heard of a guy who found a $15,000 phono setup not to
mention the stereo and he bought it all for $100. Nobody wanted it
because of the weight. Anyways it cam with two dynamic accustats, and a
sub, Rotel power and pre-amps. All because they didn't work one
replace of some old glass style fuses and everything came to life. The
speakers needed to be rebuilt, ($350 a piece) but he resold them (he had
BW 802) to a friend for a sweet deal. (not as sweet as the $100) $1500
a piece. Just look around, you can find a better turntable, its not
worth it to rip in vinyl at Mp3 when you can really take full advantage
of a Record.

Re: Hardy doesn't recognize usb turntable

2008-05-04 Thread simone
i agree on every single point
you can buy technics1200 for 200$ or less and riaa preamps on ebay for
15$, yeah that s not top of the line stuff but if you pick a decent
cartdrige you re all done, add a good soundcard of course.
the only reason to use usb turntables would be for timecoded vinyls
take care

Problem with Blender in Hardy

2008-05-04 Thread Irene Coremberg
Hello:
Recently I've migrated to Ubuntu Studio 8.04, and had some trouble with 
Blender:

1- Blender works with two modes: Windowed and fullscreen, but both two 
works as fullscreen.
2- When I try to get a Render (F12), the program crashes.

Since last month, I used it on Ubuntu Studio 7.10 and it worked very well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Irene C.

Hi Evan
This reply is probably off topic, sorry.
Actually this Numark ttxusb is a fairly nice turntable. My brother is a 
executive with the guitar center and it was a gift. It has a lot of 
bells and whistles that I'll never need, bpm counter, 2 tonearms 
straight and S shaped, built in riaa preamp, pitch and torque controls, 
and weighs 40 lbs. It didn't ship with a cartridge, so I ordered a 
Ortofon OM-20 which is super hi-tech. Lots of response 20 -20 khz, 
better than these old ears can hear. The think works well with audacity 
under XP. I'm kind of a hard head I want to make it work under ubuntu. 
My old Kenwood amp is 20 year old, and I think I been hauling my Bose 
301's around since 1973.
Evan search Guitar Center and take a look at this table, sure it's not 
an Audio Technica, or a Dual But I think it will work well to digitize 
this old classic rock and blues collection.

Thank for the reply
Fred

What are then the differences between installing UbuntuStudio metas
over a Hardy install and installing straight from-disk (beside getting
less apps because of the slimming down of Studio)?

That is something new to me. I have upgraded Hardy with meta packages to
the LTSP Server, MythTV and Studio. Everything just works, as we use to

Is this page disinformation?

Instead of reinstalling Ubuntu Studio, you can upgrade to it from a

Re:

2008-05-04 Thread Jason Schaefer
Absolutely! Essentially Ubuntu Studio is made up of meta packages for
Ubuntu. Its a great model.. very modular, flexible, scalable, etc.

Its so easy to remove and add packages after install of regular
Ubuntu. I would personally be happy to see U Studio NOT focus on a
install cd at all! It has more potential to introduce new bugs or fall
behind in development. For those who have limited bandwidth, U studio
could distribute DVD's full of all packages that make up the Studio
(Audio, Video, Graphics). When you finish your install you could pop
the dvd in, add it to sources.list, and install the pertinent content.
Synaptic is easy enough to use; could be confusing to many... Perhaps
a fancy little program could come pre-installed that would guide the
users through this?

..my 2sense.
