[ubuntu-studio-users] Trials by fire more likely

2013-10-14 Thread Gord L Williams 

From: Pete Wright
Yes, Gord, you and I are in agreement on most of this.

Good.

I would, however, remind you that for some of us the "studio" is a "bigger
room" than the sound-only places where I was a client in the days when I
ate my lunch at the South Street "dive" in Nashville (is it still there?)
30 years ago. I was then a film maker doing interactive video for science
museums among other things. Today I write and do art photography, mostly
for recreation.

I have recorded in the 'bigger rooms'  on a stool with a board
across the arm rests or a music stand in front of me,  waiting for the engineer
to decide what track I was on,  and watching like a hawk for the end of the tape
(tape or adat),  patching together monitor sound,  compressors and eq from a
fair sized rack.  Of course it took a while to find where that setting went to
on each of them.

We didn't do sound for video,  thats true.  But we did audio tours,
jingles,  spoken word and music recording.  Sometimes we almost used all
32 channels on the Soundcraft board.

Its a different space entirely and unfortunately for voiceover people
it means a completely different regimen than punching your own buttons and 
refraining
from adding all the juicy effects you have in front of you.

In the media the settings are something engineering does and then rips 
the
knobs off or crazy glues them.  Unless you have spent a little time in a 
recording studio
you probably don't get most of the stuff.

Then there is bringing the project in on time.  A different nut when you
have an engineer than when you self produce.

When you start out with the software equivalents of what you 'may' have
learned a little about,  its nicer to focus as we have agreed.

I too do some photography,  though I try to stay away from video as for 
some
reason,  I would rather not.   Stitching together a good explainer video can be 
fun,  but
as with you its more of a hobby or side line.


At some point the training wheels have to come off, and at that point, as
with bicycles, the user finds they haven't "trained" at all; often exactly
the opposite.

I told my class this when I taught.  That they will forget it all on 
the first day
and they will probably learn everything by fire.  Somewhere down the road what 
I offered them
may come in handy,  but there will be a test of their individual will first.

I guess there is no way around that,  loosing the rough edges is a 
matter of more than
one thing.  Software selection and utilization is just one.

i know, i appreciate the testing and reporting here, but we *really* need
folks to follow the official testing procedures and help us be able to
release the distro.. there are testcases that must be passed in order for
the release to be made available.. those cases are mentioned in the
original email with details on how to test.. thanks!

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Ubuntu Studio 13.10 Release Candidate Call for Testing

2013-10-14 Thread Set Hallstrom 
Hi!

Still super pleased! One thing i noticed is that the old volume shortcut
in the header was empty. Removing it and adding the new one solved it.
Hopefully this wont be a source of confusion for other users? I am
guessing that pulse has been removed completly, rendering the old
icon/shortcut obsolete.

The new sound menu (icon?) is just a volume fader, and i couldn't seem
to find audio settings. I saw the LADI settings, in the new and
deliciously consolidated settings menu, but pressing it while jack is
stopped told me "jack can only be configured with a loaded and stopped
studio. Please create a new studio or load and stop an existing one"

If i start Jack i get a bubble saying "JACK server is started not by
ladish daemon and there is no loaded studio so a new studio has been
created and marked as started."

If i then press LADI Control Center in the Settings menu, it says "Jack
can only be configured with a stopped studio. Please stop your studio
first."

I was very confused until i remembered the gladish program. Which seems
to be where i can control the mounted studio. Once gladish is started,
with a stopped studio, than i can open the LADI Control Center.

I hope this feedback is not comming in inappropriatley or in the wrong
space!

Yours,
Set

Hi all!!

I did the upgrade procedure today, and it worked like a charm! It's
beautyfull! The app menu is looking real good, the loginprompt is
delicious. Basically my love for ubuntustudio is still growing
exponentially. I havn't hard/deep tested all the programs yet. But i will
keep you posted about it.

THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS!!

Yours truly,
Set H.
