Emagic Logic 5 (wine) and Emagic EMI 6|2 USB Audio Interface
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Everybody, I would like to know if someone has managed to get these bits working on UStudio? Emagic EMI 6|2 USB Audio Interface Emagic Logic 5 (patched to 5.5.1) Emagic EMI 6|2, I found this article, http://www.64studio.com/node/655 I don't know if it worked under 64studio, and would like to know whether it might work in Ubuntu Studio. Emagic Logic 5, This will have to run with Wine because its only for Windows XP. Apple took over Emagic in 2003 and production of the Windows version immediately stopped. Thank-you Apple. The dongle is a USB device. I would prefer to keep using Logic 5 because all of my projects are in there. Has anybody had any luck with these? Best wishes, S. PS. I have not d/led Studio yet becasue I await version 8.10 to work with multi-core CPUs. ( http://ubuntustudio.org/8-10_release_note ) PS.

Re: why would wireless be different between UStudio and U?
Here's my guess. Ubuntu Studio began as a distribution with security issues because of the real-time kernel. A decision was made to make installing wifi access optional. Wifi access however is present and can be started by installing network-manager-gnome or network-config, etc. However, UbuntuStudio updates as of a couple of days ago have disabled the wireless connection in UbuntuStudio. It is a bug. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I know it's been reported. I'm not sure if it's just certain wifi cards or what. But it's not the RT kernel, and the regular kernel is the same for both machines. My wireless is no longer working as of 2.6.27-7.

Audio Production Laptop
I'm looking to get my hands on a laptop I can use for audio production and live performance with UbuntuStudio. I need a bit of help finding something suitable. I figure the following should be taken into consideration: Fast hard drive Multiple(?) Firwire ports USB ports Decent sized screen. Long battery life Linux friendly. No need to worry about the audio card as it should be replaced with something external anyways. Any recommendations for this too? I am open to and appreciate all advice. Thank you!

Considering the Linux friendly I'd say Dell is your best bet. Orderit with linux on it. You will have to reformat and install Studio but atleaste you know you have all the drivers .

M-Audio Quattro on 8.04
Hi all, I'm thinking about throwing this interface out of the window. The thing should have 4in and 4out. OK, it is USB1.1 therefore I can't get much performance out of it using 24/96 but I should work at least at 48kHz and 16 bit 4in. Right now I'm struggling to get more than two of the in channels working. Randomly one of the channels gets quickly overloaded and full of noise. One of them works reasonably well. Forget about the other two channels. Allegedly the device works with Alsa. On the other hand every trick in the Alsa project's web pages didn't work. Do anyone else have this interface? Any luck with it? The interface is OK, it appears to work perfectly fine on my brother's mac pro book thingie toy. :) I've been battling with this interface for a year now. I think I'm about to give up and go and spend some more hard-earned-cash. -- Hakan - http://www.hititgunesi.org -- 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: Audio Production Laptop
I am a huge fan of the Lenovo (ibm) thinkpads! They have the best suspend support and they use well supported hardware, which is not always true of Dell or anyone else. I have the thinkpad t61 15.4 widescreen 1680x1050, which is a great resolution for working with ardour and hydrogen, etc. It is a little large for lots of travel, but with the 6 cell battery, its very light. I have the iwl 3945 ABG wireless. Its awesome except the need for proprietary firmware. The atheros has free drivers now, ath9k https://www.fsf.org/news/ath9k So I might replace the mini-pci intel wireless with one of those:-) I also love how rugged the computer is, great for traveling. I take my laptop everywhere and my previous dell laptops would get wobly screens and flimsy keys. The price was great too, (2gb mem, 2.1 intel core 2 duo, bluetooth, wifi, dvd/cd burner, 3 yr full protection warranty, built in mem card reader) $1170.00 Oh and lastly, I recently built the 2.6.26.5 kernel patched with realtime rt and the internal intel hda sound card became a rock solid, extremely low latency sound card (~ 5ms). Previously it was crap and I was forced to always use my m-audio fast track pro (~8ms). -- 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: Audio Production Laptop
An importsant note here!! My brother purchased a dell ubuntu laptop but ubuntustudio did not install on it off the mirror iso images. He actually was unable to easily install ubuntustudio and runs the dell version of ubuntu on it, having become too frustrated. Granted he's probably a little time challenged, but this is a really important consideration. On the otherhand, I run a dell d510 all day every day, and though I wish the screen resolution was better, it's awesome!
