Therefore, while I think maintaining the operating system on a flash drive wouldn't be bad (or might have speed benefits of booting and loading applications for SSD drives), I wouldn't recommend them for storing audio data, say from recording in Ardour.

Given your statement "fresh install of Ubuntu Studio (Natty Alpha 3)" I am given to understand you are doing a full install from DVD and not "upgrading" a vanilla Ubuntu installation. Did you have this issue before with previous releases of Ubuntu Studio (i.e. Maverick, Lucid)? Can you explain what you are trying to do to check if wireless is connected and how you determined it's not working? If you right click on the top panel, choose "Add to Panel...", and choose "Indicator Applet", does it give you an icon with two computers overlapping? Can you left click it and possibly enable wireless from there? I am eager to have this issue resolved for all users.

Is that a valid concern? Thanks, Tim Depends on the Drive. If it is a typical cheapo-stick it will most likely fail to deliver data fast enough to run Ardour and other bandwith-intense applications such as some types of samplers. A good, fast USB-harddisk and much more a SSD will work. -- 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
Run From Flash drive?
Is it possible to 'effectively' run Ubuntu Studio from a 16GB USB Flash Drive? My concern is that the drive will not be responsive enough. Is that a valid concern?

Re: Wireless
Thanks Mike. So the answer is yes; I would end up with an essentially a system in coma. :) I understand that the pros do not want to use wireless for obvious reasons. Maybe a Live DVD would be helpful. ?? I personally have not had this problem in the past and hopefully won't in the future. But being "stuck" with Wifi only at this point brought this issue to my attention. I suppose I could install Ubuntu Studio on top of the desktop install now. But that certainly isn't an ideal situation. Is this usable for us hobbyists? My brief attempts to use Jokosher with the desktop install is a disaster. It just doesn't seem very intuitive to me. I haven't even been able to decide if it is supposed to be Jack aware. But then installing Audacity has been helpful either. Maybe my issues are more with not yet getting Compiz setup correctly. But trying to use the Ubuntu Classic option has shown that then menus do not work either. I know. Most of these complaints do not belong here. But thanks for reading anyway. --Tim On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 11:07 AM, Mike Holstein wrote: > >> this is an ongoing concern, and i believe the plan is to include the > default gnome network manager in ubuntustudio 11.04, which will ease wifi > setup in general *after* installation... there are other debates going on > about the installer and potentially changing to a live installer which would > ease the process of having wifi at install, but introduce other potentially > unwanted changes in the installation process... this would not happen til > 12.04 though at the earliest... would you like to see a normal ubuntu LIVE > style DVD installation disc for ubuntustudio? the task selection is the big > thing we would lose by going with this, and its not something we would want > to change again...

Are the concerns that originally led to not using network-manager (nm) gone? (for the record IIRC, difficulties to have concurrent wifi and lowlatency audio) AFAIK the potential impact on realtime audio still exist: in my last attempts some months ago, it wasn't possible to enable wifi without compromising xrun-free operation. Are there any news on this side? -- Ronan -- 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

Wireless
When beginning a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio (Natty Alpha 3) Network detection fails. I only have Wifi network connectivity where I am now. So I am concerned that Wifi is not enabled by default in Studio. This means that if I install it as a fresh install I will not be able to complete installation/upgrades. Is this correct? I hope not. :) --Tim -- Timothy Cook, MSc Project Lead - Multi-Level Healthcare Information Modeling http://www.mlhim.org LinkedIn Profile:http://www.linkedin.com/in/timothywaynecook Skype ID == timothy.cook Academic.Edu Profile: http://uff.academia.edu/TimothyCook You may get my Public GPG key from popular keyservers or from this link http://timothywayne.cook.googlepages.com/home -- 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: Master Keyboard
> I'm now looking for a Keyboard Midi Controller. > > Do you thing that a Alesis q25 would do for us ubuntu users? The IO/2 has MIDI ports, so I'm assuming you're just looking for a MIDI keyboard, right? (Not, say, a USB keyboard?) If so - pretty much anything will do. Frankly, it depends on your budget, and what you actually want to use the keyboard for. Are you going to be playing Beethoven? If so, get an 88-key controller with hammer action. (Almost all of these are also digital pianos.) The cheapest of these that I've seen is the Williams Allegro (~$300). Are you going to be doing basic melodies and bass lines, and controlling soft synths? If so, then you would need something with a lot of knobs. For the same price as a Q25, you could get an M-Audio KeyStudio 25, which (in addition to the two-octave keyboard) has eight programmable knobs and one slider. Or, if you also want drum pads, the Akai MPK Mini seems like a good deal: 8 knobs, 8 pads, and a mini two-octave keyboard for ~$100. M-Audio also makes the Axiom, which has all the MPK features, plus DAW controller keys (play/stop/rec/etc). Really, at this point you just need to shop around. -Karl. -- 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: [SOLVED!] .mp4 Sound Fix
Hi Mike, You can use this commande line in a terminal to extract your music from a video. Séparation Son/Vidéo ffmpeg -i "your video" -vn -ar 44100 -ab 192k -ac 2 -f wav -y "mane of file.wav" Otherwise you can use the soft name Edk, who can that and much more for you http://ekd.tuxfamily.org/index.php/Accueil/AccueilEnglish Regards Teza 2011/3/29 Mike Holstein > > > On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 4:23 PM, Seattle Chaz wrote: > >> I asked how to extract sound from an .mp4 video, enhance it and then >> package the fixed sound with the video.
