Re: ubuntu studio install

2009-02-02 Thread mboracci
brad

 when ubuntu studio is installed on a (system76 pangolin)
 ubuntu system (8.10), does it replace the existing
 applications?

 does it make any sense to partion the drive as
 ubuntu and ubuntu studio? does it make any sense to pay for
 ubuntu installation and support only to blow it all off by
 installing studio?

 does a faster, smaller 7200rpm vs a larger, slower 5400rpm
 drive make a significant difference for studio work?

 thanks for any perspective

personally I woud get the 7200rpm drive. That throughput will help on a 
non-optimized system ( meaning without a dedicated low-latency audio 
interface )

RAID is a backup *strategy* not a backup app

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a way that extra  
data is written across the array, which are organized so that the  
failure of one (sometimes more) disks in the array will not result  
in loss of data.


A failed disk may be replaced by a new one, and the data on it  
reconstructed from the remaining data and the extra data.

as I consider switching my DAW to Linux is the lack of support for  
audio/MIDI interfaces.  Linux developers seem to be doing their best  
to write drivers, but many manufacturers either ignore Linux, or are  
downright hostile to it (and its users).  I got lectured on the  
Mackie Forums when I asked into a Linux driver for my Mackie 400F FW  
audio interface.  Who cares about Linux?, Linux sucks, and Linux  
users/developers suck more, I don't even use a Mac, let alone Linux  
- people only care about Windows, were the attitudes I ran into  
there.  I think the company's official position re: Linux is probably  
a little more diplomatic, but that is the kind of response I got from  
one guy in particular who I had thought was a Mackie rep.

If that's you perception, so be it.

 I didn't sub to your list to make you look smart by letting you win
 every discussion
 and I also don't back down from confrontations easily

Sounds like you've admitted to a personal problem. Maybe take that into
consideration.

 if part the goal of the UbuntuStudio list is to welcome and educate
 n00bz then I feel it is a disservice to dismiss the subject of backups
 many Linux newbies can't find a backup app easily, don't have
command
 line chops or don't ask for help online in fear of being shot down or
 subtly condescended to in public

Again. Perception and a place where you can make things better.

 also, with all due respect three 'pro' studio does not a
statistical
 sample make (I visit that many pro studios on one tour)
 while this might impress someone who hasn't worked in the music
 industry for 25 years I find it to be purely anecdotal evidence
 and since you didn't mention *which* pro studios they were it is
 basically hearsay and rumor
 which is IMO not admissible as technical advice to a n00b on the list

Feel free to contact any of these places:

* www.omegastudios.com
* www.cuerecording.com
* www.hitandrunrecording.com

If you like, I can also get you a list of places I've worked at while
touring with a couple of the metal bands I know.

 for the past ten years I've worked internationally with hundreds of
 laptop musicians and VJ's
 I've worked with CCRMA, STEIM, CREATE, CNMAT, Berklee College of
 Music, MIT Press and dozens of digital media computer music
 institutions in Europe as well
 and believe me they ALL backup their systems and data

Sure they do. I pointed out that it has never been my experience that an
*app* was used for this.

 so I might not be an pro IT guy such as yourself

Ha! If you only knew. ;)

 but I do know something about computers in the service of making music
 and I feel that my own experience with Ubuntu since 4.10 is that
 rescues and backups are something musicians working with Linux must
 know about -- especially the less technical who come to it because of
 its FOSS philosophy and open sharing communities

GREAT!!! Seriously. *That's* why I suggested the wiki. You complained at
length about the state of things so contribute. Don't jump to

I am not sure what delineates each category.

I am not sure what the differences are between the categories.  These
days I am not sure that differentiating between an amateur and
professional is even useful in this context.  I am not sure where I
would place me on that scale, and almost no one knows me as well as I do :)
 
 I need too examples of sound card that runs without any trouble or very 
 easily under GNU/Linux,

I have heard that the M-Audio Delta series works well.  I can personally
vouch for the RME 9652 as that is what I have at home.  The 9652 worked
out of the box under 64Studio and Ubuntu Studio, and that was more than
2 years ago.  My current rig has a PCI 9652, an RME ADI-8 DS and an
Alesis ADAT (which acts as an analogue to digital converter for the
9652).  This gives me 16 simultaneous inputs.  You can have 3 of the
9652s in a given system so this solution scales beyond medium use.

 for beginners (and cheaper) :
 
Some of the cheaper M-Audio stuff.  Of course onboard sound will
probably work well enough.  It really depends on what one hopes to
accomplish.

 for medium use, semi-pro :
 
 for professionnal use :
 
I would lump the last two categories together.  IMO there is nothing to
be gained by distinguishing between them.

Instead of a scale with amateur to pro, how about just price ranges.
Leave the choice up to the end user.  I would not consider myself a pro,
but the quality of the 9652 and the ADI-8 DS was worth it to me.

Cory, not sure about new apps in, but it may be worth removing libgig,
libigig-dev, gigedit, and gigtools.

You might want to talk to the LSampler team about this first because it's
their gig, but as we build LS from source anyway, the versions already
included in UB don't match the source version, and create problems when
compiling, particularly as debs.

Not a big request, but still a challenge for users that comes up on a
regular basis.

Well, just download the Ubuntu CD and try it out.
It is so easy to use and install, that you don't need a book to do that.
I would bet that these days one needs more mouse clicks and trouble shooting
in installing Windows. The only thing that beats Ubuntu installation
in easiness is
installing the MacOSX. But the difference is quite thin nowadays.
Ubuntu is really easy
to install and work on. You don't need to compile kernels and do
programming yourself to use
the Ubuntu. Linux used to be like that a long time ago, but those
times are long gone.
There was long a discussion if Linux is ready for desktop use, and the
time it has
been ready has been now already couple of years and Ubuntu is getting
on each release better and better.
The 6 month release cycle is very rapid and things change for better
at amazing rate.

One thing that would be nice to have, if it's at all feasible, is
qgtkstyle [1]. It's definitely not a must-have package, but since we
use a few qt4 packages in a gnome environment, this would make the
desktop look a lot more polished. It's been working fine for me for
quite some time. There are packages in my ppa, if anyone feels like
trying.

ffado, on the other hand, is a must-have ;-) And I'm curious on how
things are going with jack-in-main.

And I've been wondering whether it would be a good idea to maintain a
2.6.26-rt kernel, particularly if .28 doesn't turn out too well after
all. We could be joining efforts with 64studio, for example, when it
comes to realtime kernel packaging and maintaining. Judging from one
thread I stumbled into [3], it seems they're aiming for a 2.6.26
kernel.

Work/workflow examples?

2009-02-02 Thread Larry David
First let me say thank you to everyone who has replied so helpfully  
to my questioning posts so far.  In looking back at them I notice  
that I tend to put lots of questions or comments in a single post,  
and that (not surprisingly) some of them go by without any response.   
So I will try to be more specific and brief.  :^)

I would be interested to hear what kind of music work people are  
doing with UBS, and what software people they use for which tasks.   
Audio examples/clips would be great.  Or just basic descriptions.

For example right now I use Digital Performer to do multitrack  
recording in a variety of styles - rock, classical, folk, electronic  
- using digital and analog synths, electric bass/gtr, and a variety  
of acoustic instruments.  My system can't handle softsynths and  
multitracking simultaneously, but I would like to get into them.  I  
use a modest amount of FX plugins, but would like to use them more too.

I'd love to hear similar descriptions of people's work/workflow in  
UBS - the more details the better, but even a brief summary would be  
helpful.

Thanks,

 think I've seen it used that way.  In any case, that's what I meant.

It is, and Christopher shoulda easily figured that out. ;) I just think
he wants to be a pain sometimes. :P

Wrong. I honestly didn't know. And google didn't help either. However, it
did come across my mind, after I had hit send...



For myself, I learned 'UBS' by installing it and just spending some time
playing around. It really helps to set some time aside to mess around.

 Well, just download the Ubuntu CD and try it out.
 It is so easy to use and install, that you don't need a book to do  
 that.
 I would bet that these days one needs more mouse clicks and trouble

 in easiness is
 installing the MacOSX. But the difference is quite thin nowadays.
 Ubuntu is really easy
 to install and work on. You don't need to compile kernels and do
 programming yourself to use
 the Ubuntu. Linux used to be like that a long time ago, but those
 times are long gone.
 There was long a discussion if Linux is ready for desktop use, and the
 time it has
 been ready has been now already couple of years and Ubuntu is getting
 on each release better and better.
 The 6 month release cycle is very rapid and things change for better
 at amazing rate.

 I have upgraded UBS hardy via Khashayar's PPA in launchpad.

 I chose all the alsa stuff, ardour, audacity, ffado, and pulse.

 So far it looks like everything is functioning and nothing broken.

That's good to hear. Although, keep in mind that my PPA is not
supported by the ubuntustudio team, and it's really an
on-your-own-risk venture you're undertaking. The ppa has had little to
no testing (I'm gonna keep on reminding everyone about this ;-)).

Understood, probably no more risk (maybe less) than attempting to build
them from source myself... :-)



 Questions though:

 - The guys over on Jack irc say alsa_in and alsa_out should be with the
 latest Jack. I can't find them...

I'm not sure about this.
To minimize the risk of having broken packages, I try to follow the
packaging done in the current development release of Ubuntu, as far as
possible. That means that the jack packages in the hardy section of my
ppa basically are built the same way jack in jaunty is, with
additional libffado support. Do you know if there are additional
dependencies needed to get alsa_in and alsa_out? I might consider
adding them to the package.

I originally was going to build it from source, and was told to get it to
build alsa_in/out I needed the
libsamplerate.

But, I don't think that answers your question...



 - What do I need to install to get Audacity to use Jack. Again, I was led
 to believe it came with the latest Audacity.


Audacity should work with jack through portaudio. Make sure jackd is
running before you fire up audacity. At least it works here.


Ok, I'll have a try, I was looking for an output plugin in Audacity pref's
called jack. I'll check if I have a portaudio selection.

Same file converted to mp3 plays fine with alsa, jack, or pulse.

 Doesnt Ubuntustudio come with wget ?
 

 When writing a program, it is a good habit to get into to assume nothing :)
   
I'll add wget to the apt-get line, just to be on the safe side :-)
   
  2) What license is your program under?  There's no copyright 
 information anywhere in the tarball.
   
 I havent yet looked into all the quirks about license, but it's free to 
 use and modify, so I gues that makes it GPL ? but as you pointed out, 
 the asio header from Steinberg is another story.
 

 The licence is whatever you specify.  There is no default licence.
 Look at the fsf site for more info:
 http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/
   
Is it ok to use GPLv2 if the program downloads and install a binary ?

btw. The source is avaiable to the binary and I'll put a link to it in 
the program.

UBS. I found out, that for me it is the most prudent way to work with

 I'd love to hear similar descriptions of people's work/workflow in

 helpful.

I used to use UBS on a quite puny Laptop (MSI,AMD, 1500RAM, Behringer

and the like and for mixing/mastering Stuff in Ardour as of now I do
this on Suse111 but hope to return to UBS with 09.04

 Very very important: LV2-support in Ardour and CALF and Invada Plugins
 as well as SWH/LV2 - these are revolutionary.

The CALF plugins are being looked at now.

 Also I do not know, why Specimen is not included by default, it is the
 most reliable/configurable softsampler I ever used on Linux so far.

I'm sorry. I shoulda been more specific. GNOME-Specimen the font
manager, has been removed. :) Specimen the sampler, I *think* wasn't
included because the case was made for another already included app. If
you wanna peruse this topic please do. I can't chime in since I don't
use synths but I'll let whatever happens in the community decide how
this goes. Whatever you guys think.

 At the other hand I would drop Bristol - I never saw this synth working
 OK anywhere (ist the same on Fedora and Suse) so I dont think, that it
 should be included for it only casts frustration upon beginners - it
 should be available in universe though...
 And important also:

 Qtractor and LMMS both are very likely to attract switchers and make
 major progress.

Others please chime in here as well.

I gotta also note (didn't really say it in the 1st post) that atm any
switches need to be to a app *already* in the repos. If there's
something out there that's not currently packaged it will have to be
marked for +1.

Well: Specimen does not use any popular /proprietary sample-lib format
but its own (loaded WAV-Files organized via a simple XML-file), so it is
nice and open and at the other hand quite off-mainstream. But it works
flawlessly and very, very stable with jackd so I would strongly opt for it.

 included because the case was made for another already included app.

 Well: Specimen does not use any popular /proprietary sample-lib format
 but its own (loaded WAV-Files organized via a simple XML-file), so  
 it is
 nice and open and at the other hand quite off-mainstream. But it works
 flawlessly and very, very stable with jackd so I would strongly opt  
 for it.

Can it load popular formats, or only samples recorded in Specimen?   
Loaded WAV files suggests it can read any WAV file, but don't want  
to assume.

FWIW, I think a decent, versatile sampler is a real plus for any  
DAW.  If the audio app list is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList
then it looks like sooperlooper is the only sampler (and from the  
name sounds more like a loop player than a traditional sampler).
