audio hardware selection?
Hi All, Forgive me if I've posted a similar question here before...I've been asking in so many Ubuntu forums I've forgotten. I'm new to Ubuntu Studio and I'd like to be able to record 8 to 12 channels of audio via usb or firewire. I'd also like to get it working with the least amount of hassle and under $1000 USD (under $500 USD would be nice) To that end, does anyone have any recommendations on hardware that just works, or nearly so?

realtime?
Hi I just joined this list, so please bear with me if this has been asked a thousand times before :-) Is there any word about a realtime kernel in Ubustu-Ipex ? and if not... is there a beginners guide to building it yourself ?

There's a laundry-list of things that cause the system to lock up and go braindead -- many of them video and audio driver related. But many apps appear to work on the generic kernel (performance issues aside). And many of them appear to work in the latest (Intrepid alpha 6) versions using the 2.2.19 rt kernel that is available for Hardy. I have to agree with Cory that for now Ubuntu Studio users should stick with Hardy because the 2.2.26 rt kernel is not ready to go as part of Intrepid, let alone as part of Ubuntu Studio Intrepid. That may change in the next 30 days, but I suggest letting Cory et al pull their hair out and swear at their computers dealing with the problems of 2.2.26 rt.

Linux Day - UbuntuStudio showcase
Hi all. October 25th here in Cremona (Italy) there will be a Linux Day at the local engineering university and, as a member of the local Linux User Group, I will showcase UbuntuStudio as a DAW. I'm planning my speech (in an early stage, at the moment), and I'm calling for ideas/(sonic)material/suggestions/etc. To give you an idea of what I have in mind, my target is to illustrate audio routing via Jack and then - as a demonstration - record 'on the fly' an 8/16-bar song with Ardour using: I. Hydrogen with a pre-built drum track II. Rosegarden + (hw|sw) synth with a pre-built bass line III. Rosegarden + guitar synth to capture and then play via MIDI the harmonic progression IV. my lovin' Gibson H. Roberts Fusion + JackRack for soloing My gear: I. M-Audio 1010 II. Behringer patch panel III. Various rack/pedal effects (but I think they're unnecessary in this context) IV. Roland DS-5 studio monitors V. Electric/synth guitars VI. Roland JV 1010 + GR 50 synth rack modules VII. A fast, full of memory PC with UbuntuStudio 8.04 VIII. Everything else if available at the local music store and in line with my pocket ;) As I said before, any suggestion to better introduce UbuntuStudio to the audience is welcome. Much more useful would be pointers to, for example, good Hydrogen tracks/MIDI tracks/JackRack suites/SoundFonts available on the net, so to cut my effort: I'm really busy with my work as a developer, so I'm not currently 100% on this task (and I need to stretch my fingers on the guitar, too...).

You can always download and compile the newest version. Ardour 2 is not very stable on my system. dont know why. Probably you have jack set too aggressively for your hardware.

There's a small program on your machine that can be useful in those
cases, it's called wtf.
$ wtf ymmv
YMMV: your mileage may vary
$ wtf wtf
WTF: {what,where,who,why} the fuck
It doesn't explain the meaning but it's still helpful in most cases
(YMMV may be one of the exceptions).

I managed to install the rt-kernel (32bit) from the repros, a 173 Nvidia driver (the 177 didnt work for me), Wine and Wineasio, and have been trying to crash the system for an hour now, without any luck :-) I use EnergyXT2 with (win)vsti's for drums, bass and keyboards, and then record guitar, vocals and other analog thingies. But lets say (for the sake of the argument) that I don't know anything about kernels ;-) Will I still be using all the new stuff in 8.10, xorg, qt ? And will the kernel be updated automaticly when the new one arrive ?
