Re: Windows 7 on MBR
Whoops the youtube link I forgot.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaMB-W6rFw0 I just put it up last night.. BTW, gtk-recordmydesktop permits one to use jack to connect to any audio outputs to be included in a screencast, that's what I'm doing here. This is on my ultra slow Pentium-4 2Ghz Laptop.. Fluidsynth is not as much of a CPU hog as ZynAddSubFx, but it's effective. Here is a video I made with the ZynAddSubFx soft synth and audio input (from a Yamaha YPT-300 consumer keyboard) and ran them through JackRack and into Ardour. Ardour will permit you to layer audio over audio, so you can work in pieces, I'm still stuck on how to get Rosegarden to play and have Ardour set to record, and sync the transaction. Anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r56XPeJC5vU Watch to the end, I show the actual devices I'm using..

Re: Windows 7 on MBR
I put up a new youtube video showing me messing around with jack.. This is the process of getting this to work: 1. run "QT Jack Control" (icon looks like a phono plug). 2. start hack from the Jack Control. 3. Go into a terminal window and type fluidsynth -o synth.polyphony=1024 \ -R0 -C0 -a jack -j -m alsa_seq /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 This will start fluidsynth the Wavetable Synth emulator. 4. Start Rosegarden. 5. Start Patchage. 6. Disconnect all the lines from rosegarden with a right-click "disconnect all" 7. Green = Midi, Blue = audio. Left sides of boxes are inputs, right sides are outputs. "System Capture" are your mics, "System Playback" is your speakers. Connect General Midi on rosegarden to Green Input for Fluidsynth. 8. Connect Fluid Synth's Audio outputs (a separate box in blue) to the "Playback". 9. Connect your MIDI output to the input of the Rosegarden's "record in". 10. Load a midi file (with import).. And Select one of the instruments, and twiddle keys on your keyboard (midi channel 1). You should be hearing that instrument playing. If not, you can try connecting your midi to the fluidsynth input directly.. Note, you can connect multiple audio lines to one input, same with midi, jack will mix the inputs, so you can use this to layer stuff.. 11. Play the midi file, make sure all the instruments are set to "general midi" device. And rosegarden's general midi (green) is connected to fluid synth (green), And Fluidsynth (blue) is connected system playback (blue). 12. I added JackRack, loaded a "reverb (under simulator)" and "chorus (under timing)", and an amplifier.. Arranged it so the amplifier was on top, chorus next, and reverb after that. 13. Reconnect fluidsynth (blue) to jackrack "in" (blue), connect jackrack "out" to system playback (blue). When there are two blue ports named the same thing, that is stereo channels, so if you want you can treat them as separate mono outputs. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CONFIGURATION 1. If you so want to freeze this configuration, it's a bit of a task, I wish patchage could do this, but you have to do it in the patch bay of the jack control. Create inputs and outputs for each chanel of midi and audio you need.. Drag and drop the connections from one to the other, where you have things connected in patchage. 2. Screen capture everything in patchage, so you remember what connects to what (printscreen key). Turn off "activate" in the patchbay and disconnect all the wires in patchage. 3. Now, turn on "activate" in patchbay, look at patchage, all the components in your screen captures that are connected should be connected in patchage. If any inputs or outputs are missing, this means there was likely an Xrun, and some of the devices dropped. You may have to restart Jack and start up all the devices again, but save your patch configuration in "patchbay". 4. If you should ever lose devices, you can restart and load up the patch configuration, activate, and then turn off activate so you can make any changes to the patch configuration in patchage. 5. You'll have to save out configurations on each device, so as to preserve their configurations. So you can save out jackrack setups, you can save Rosegarden projects. If you use ardour to record, you can save it's projects. If you use ZynAddSubFx you can save it's patches, and configuration (good luck getting them to load without ZynAddSubFx dumping). The alternative to all of this is to use LMMS, which integrates some of these features together into on package. But the Jack stuff will permit you some added creativity. It will be heaven once it has stabilized (*praying*).

I don't want to be rude. But install problems got to be addressed to the general Ubuntu list not Ubuntu-Studio list. 2 reasons (for me) are: a) General Ubuntu list is bigger on user number, so will have faster and better response b) It is wise to keep this list (UbuntuStudio) free of noise best.

Hi thanks for your help. Did you to use to use Gtplayer with wine? Does it work? Otherwise iwill use Racarrack and Guitarix with the card.

RE: Windows 7 on MBR
I install Windows RC on one drive, then swapped the boot order to an unused drive and installed Ubuntu on that drive. This has given me dual-boot out of the box. Shame to here about other peoples experiences _ From: ubuntu-studio-users-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-studio-users-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of Kiernan Holland Sent: 21 August 2009 02:04 To: Ubuntu Studio Users Help and Discussion Subject: Re: Windows 7 on MBR I have a really idiotic way of fixing dual boots.. Go into the BIOS and disable the windows drive, when I want to run linux, and enable windows and disable the linux drive when wanting to run windows. Of course you have to have two drives configured, but the windows drive doesn't see the linux.. However, linux if you install it on another drive will see the windows drive anyway and setup grub to allow you to boot from windows. But if all else fails, this trick always works for me. The machine I use is a Dell Dimension 9150.. I've had nothing but good experiences with it. BTW Dell Financial Services sells my Dell 9150 for 280 dollars now. It's well worth it if you are looking for inexpensive linux box (it's screwless with qualtiy parts).

Re: M-Audio Fast Track usb
i'm using M-Audio Fast Track Pro and works fine. You can configure easy with jack control and use ardour and all the aplication that use jackd without problems.
