I moved to Ubuntu-Studio because it had rt and installed on my machine with 
ease.  Why ship a product geared towards audio users without rt?  Itś like 
shipping a muscle car with a four cylinder engine.

There is probably a problem with fan control/whatever else. Try messing with
the BIOS settings.

The table's probably expecting the OS to do temp control.

Chilling it may work, just don't get it too cold and try to cool and warm it
gradually. Maybe even do the install in the fridge... :-)

To sudden a temp change may be very bad.

Those Intel Atom cpu's don't need a fan if they are clocked @ 50%.

If you want to record the music you play with other musicians, you
should absolutely get into JACK and Ardour. JACK is a big, strong beast
but thanks the efforts of projects like Ubuntustudio it is easy to
master nowadays.

If you ave installed the Ubuntustudio packages you have done the biggest
part of the work already. Get qjackctl running: this allows to configure
and start JACK, the audio demon all modern music-apps in Linux use to
deliver sound to each other and to the soundcard.

For the recording I recommend Ardour - it has the best
Wave-arranging/mixing/editing capabilities you will find in Linux today.
If you want to compose MIDI-Music, Rosegarden is a great Sequencer and a
notation-tool also. RG can be synchronized with Ardour via JACK.

> I need to first of all cut a large wave file into separate pieces

If you have recorded with Ardour this is a piece of cake. Still you can
use Audacity also for this.

They are but not very well and with much lesser options/comfort as you
will find in Ardour. The Wave-support in RG is OK if you compose a Song
with MIDI-instruments and want to add some simple vocals or a Guitar.

good luck ;-)

Hi all,

I managed to get it working last night, hurrah!

I now have a different problem however, I can't see any midi connections in
qJackCtl for sooperlooper. Could I have missed something and compiled
without midi support?

I'm not sure it's best to skip a release just because it has a
regression for some subset of users.  If those users are happy using
the current release, they need not upgrade, but those users (yes,
perhaps a minority) for whom this feature is less important (e.g.
graphic artists) may prefer to have an updated release.

Additionally, while there is a certain expectation of releasing
8.04.2, including many bugfixes and security updates to 8.04.1, such a
release will contain only these fixes, and not include newer
applications, etc.  The creation of an "intrepid-like" metapackage
within 8.04 is infeasible, as any 8.04.x release is inherently bound
to the same repositories as used for other Ubuntu flavours.

That said, as a user of audio applications, it is my hope that a
solution can be found that will allow the released 8.10 to meet my
needs.  While I do require the audio system to work reliably, and at
relatively low and predictable latency, I have not performed
sufficient testing to know if realtime is required for my specific
workload: it may be that other schedulers are sufficient.

For me, the great thing about UbuntuStudio is that things work out of the 
box: I don't *have* to compile a kernel to get proper realtime support.

Over the years, I've closely followed the progress in Linux Audio land 
and have compiled lots of kernels, but am very glad that I rarely 
have to anymore (if ever). If the realtime kernel lags a version behind,
so be it- If I really need the latest bleeding edge functionality *now*,
I can always decide to compile my own anyway, but I'm more likely to
simply wait until it appears and be OK with it. So from my 
point of view, an out-of-sync RT kernel would be fine. But as different 
people have different needs, let's hear what others have to say.

Best,
Marc

As for hw samplers, I think nobody produces them now.
And the only option here will be a used one. AFAIK they could be found
quite cheap on ebay.
Can't say if any of them support soundfonts.
