Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Ver 22.04 Desktop (KDE) does not seem to allow for images spanning multiple screens
In KDE (and for a long time now), you can choose a different desktop background for each screen. Anyway, are all your screens exactly the same resolution?

I also have an Asus gaming laptop with an Nvidia Geforce graphic card, and use Kubuntu without problem, with either the proprietary Nvidia driver or the Xorg driver.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] ubuntustudio and KDE
Excuse me for butting in...

Maybe I missed it, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned is the upgrade path. It is clear to me that if you stay with 20.04 for the supported 3 years, you will keep whatever desktop you have (e.g. XFCE which is default for Ubuntu Studio). It is also clear that if you do a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 20.10 you will get Plasma. But what happens if you upgrade Ubuntu Studio from 20.04 to 20.10 (or from 20.04 to the next LTS release 22.04)? The announcement mentioned likely breakage? Personally, I would prefer that either I kept the same desktop, or I was smoothly migrated over to Plasma. Not sure if you're aware, but Lubuntu has already forged this path for us. When they switched their desktop from LXDE (no longer actively developed) to LXQt (the merging of the LXDE and RazorQt projects) in 18.10 (and for 20.04 LTS) they had to make a tough call, and that was to not support any direct upgrades from 18.04 to anything later, but to encourage clean installs. Basically, since this seems to have been met with success, this is the route that should be encouraged. The biggest problem is that, due to the changes that had to happen in the ubuntustudio-default-settings package, if one upgrades from 20.04 to 20.10 they *will* end up installing pretty much the entirety of the Plasma DE and might end up with a crippled Xfce. Unfortunately, there's no real way around this. I have always wondered what all the fuss is about with the "desktop debate". I use Ubuntu Studio on two machines. One is standard Ubuntu Studio (XFCE), and the other is standard Ubuntu with Ubuntu Studio installed on top with the installer (Gnome). The most important thing for me is being able to find the applications, and then learning the tricks to arranging the open windows the way I want them. It has never taken me long to work out a new desktop (but I am a very basic user). Maybe we should publish a guide to help people migrate from XFCE to Plasma? What are the tips and tricks to carry on recording in the new environment without embarrassing yourself in a professional scenario? I'm assuming that, based on this, you haven't tried one of the daily Groovy ISO images. If you boot it up, you'll notice the desktop is nearly identical in layout with one exception: no desktop icons unless ~/Desktop has items. That's easily mitigated with the file manager (which is all the desktop icons would open anyhow). Any number of shortcuts can also be added to the desktop, and the user can customize it however they see fit. The other exception would be the menu, but as Len pointed out to me, is functionally similar to the Whisker menu in Xfce. If one wants a more "classic" layout, a right-click on the launcher, then a click on "Show Alternative" shows three other choices, including Application Menu, which is more similar to the Xfce menu of old. I actually tried to get it to default to that older menu, but it ended up being less customizable in terms of default favorites, so I left it to the user to switch. In any case, the menu items that we have laid out for the "Audio Production" etc. menus carried over perfectly. The learning curve really isn't all that steep, and if you have trouble finding something, i.e. a setting, you can easily search for that in "System Settings" as it's completely indexed and searchable. Another nice thing is KRunner, which acts as a launcher similar to Apple's Spotlight on macOS in that it will search just about everything, and even act as a calculator. It's accessed via alt-space. I guess there are a few menu shortcuts that differ, such as the aforementioned alt-space being KRunner and not the window menu. The window menu, by the way, is accessed via alt-F3. So, yes, there are some differences, but I've done what I can to minimize the learning curve. I think the best thing users can do is try it out and play around with it. Especially in the live environment, don't be afraid to try new things, and don't be afraid of breaking stuff since, unless you
Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Fwd: Re: the new ubuntustudio20.04 and KDE
As far as I know, from reading the Ubuntu Studio blog, the situation is this: the 20.04 image/installer for Ubuntu Studio is still uses XFCE as the default installed GUI. Apparently, in some near-future version, the project will be switching to KDE - but that has not happened yet. At present, the project devs apparently recommend installing Kubuntu and then installing the Ubuntu Studio environment package to layer it over the top of KDE. But, with Ubuntu Studio on XFCE, if one wants KDE, one can simply install the KDE GUI and choose it at login time. I'm guessing that, when Ubuntu Studio goes KDE-based, you'll simply be able to install the XFCE GUI and choose that instead at login time (you make the choice once, and then it's the default option in subsequent logins). So you'll probably still be able to use XFCE in the future. And Ubuntu Studio remains XFCE-based in 20.04. Hope this helps. --- All best wishes, Dave On 2020-06-24 03:21, Tommy Hjalmarsson wrote: Forwarded Message SUBJECT: Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] the new ubuntustudio20.04 and KDE DATE: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 02:12:19 +0200 FROM: Tommy Hjalmarsson TO: hans Schneidhofer Install Xubuntu, install Ubuntu Studio Installer.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Dual System-Startup-Beginner
P.S. Also, are you installing the Ubuntu Studio distribution? If so, bear in mind that, in the near future, Ubuntu Studio will be moving away from its current GUI, XFCE, and adopting KDE. There is a recommendation on the Ubuntu Studio blog to install Kubuntu and then install the Ubuntu Studio environment package, which will layer Ubuntu Studio over the top of KDE. KDE is a really excellent GUI. You'll be a bit more "future-proof" that way (although both KDE and XFCE can be installed as a second GUI on a system, but it takes up more disk space). --- All best wishes, Dave On 2020-06-19 09:55, Dave at Dalek Zone wrote: Hi Andy, At boot time, when you hit a black screen with the command prompt, it means Linux couldn't find a bootable disk.

[ubuntu-studio-users] Boss eBand JS-10 with Kubuntu - how to connect?
Hi guys, Does anyone have any experience getting a Boss eBand JS-10 audio player/guitar effects unit to work with Kubuntu? My eBand works okay with Windows 10, but I have not been able to get it working with Kubuntu. I have installed the Ubuntu Studio installer on Kubuntu 20.04. When I connect my eBand to Kubuntu, an eBand JS-10 device does appear in the system settings audio control panel. When I unplug it, it disappears. I have tried this on the Asus G750JM on which I dual boot Windows, as well as on a Dell i3567 (which supports Linux much better than the Asus system), without any success. If, in the Kubuntu audio control panel, I select the eband (for either input, output or both), my system produces no more sound. I figured that, in the Kubuntu user base, there must be guitar players, and there might be someone with a Boss eBand JS-10, because it seems to be a popular piece of hardware. Is there someone who can advise me out there?

[ubuntu-studio-users] Fwd: Sync music with Samsung Galaxy SII
Apologies if some of you are seeing this a second time, but I got no response to this query in ubuntu-users. Maybe someone here has a good answer. Original Message I've got Ubuntu 13.10, and an Samsung Galaxy SII/Sprint. I'm trying to emulate a Smart Playlist I have setup in iTunes for my iPod; Since I have more music in my library than will fit on the device. The playlist moves only 5GB worth of songs on to the device, where the playcount 5. Once a song on the device hits playcount=5, it gets removed so another can be put on. Also, the playcount for the song(s) in the PC library should be updated to match what is on the Smasung. I've gotten Rhythmbox Banshee to get music on the device, but neither read the playcount - when I used the default music player on the Samsung... Suggestions? Better solution? Even if it's not Linux.

I'm getting the itch to start attempting to compose music. I'm looking for recommendations on a decent, fairly easy to use program(s). I'll start with just using the mouse and computer keyboard to layout the notes. Eventually I'll probably connect my MIDI/USB Casio to lay down the music. Needs to be multi track (drums, guitar, bass, etc..). Once I get the tracks laid down, I may even hook my 5 string bass to the line in. If there is an application to apply effects to that, even more fun. But that's later on... I guess what I'm looking to do is compose record to wav (the compress/convert to mp3) all on the computer. Eventually I'd try using the MIDI/USB keyboard to write some parts into the program. I'm geussing I'd probably need a different application, if I want to add a line-in source to the song during mixing.

Re: Wireless connection.
Hi Anthony (and all: this is my first post). I find it easier to install vanilla Ubuntu, then the Ubuntu Studio metapackages over the top. This solution assumes you're happy with your PC being a general-purpose box as well as a creative machine and you aren't aching for some specific boost only an Ubustu installation gets you. That way you inherit all the working-out-of-the-boxiness of Ubuntu and get the creative packages on top.

Started from the installation DVD in recovery mode but got the same issue on starting X from the consol. Repeated the install to a fresh partition but again got no further than the splash screen.

The cables from the Delta 1010LT aren't fully labeled, near as I can tell. This information is what I have needed at bare minimum to get the editor working.

We invested sooo much for our professional hi-end equipment - there must be a reason we have spent all the money. Thus we and we only can make a good sounding record! 90% of the best sounding records are made with equipment that would be called outdated today.

Get the record (I mean the real thing in black 12), listen to 1969, No Fun or We will fall and you know how the sound of a record can help to make music a classic.

RE: The Death of High Fidelity Sad, sad, sad...
I remember when CD's were new and Dire Straits came out with Private Investigations, the dynamic range that CD's could achieve, when compared to analogue was really eye opening. I had been involved in the recording industry for a few years at that time expected the emergence of a new sound that was not the horribly compressed stuff like you had to do to shoe-horn music onto vinyl or radio. But it seemed that it never happened. You can't blame the consumers for this, it was a done deal at the mastering stage. Most consumers are blissfully unaware of the enhancements that are automatically applied to everything. Enhancements which are also hold-over's from the analogue days are no longer required (IMHO). For example: - To add brightness you pass it through some type of Aural Exciter, a band pass filter distortion that only distorts the highest frequencies, adding even higher harmonics which also increases the perceptual loudness of a track. Because the distortion always clips at the same level, this also contributes to the compression of the audio. - Then you need to de-ess everything because the vocals will be too sibiliant (usually just a notch filter does the trick). - Then the usual is to apply some sort of peak limiting (usually with a really nasty compression ratio and steep attack). This kills any transients that might 'threaten' to cause distortion. - Then you probably want to gate off anything down near the noise floor of your recording (you know, just in case). - Then you want to apply a bit of compression to heat it up (note this compresses the exciter artefacts the already compressed transients more) so you push the compression up till it hammers, but not so far that you can hear it breathe as the compression goes in out. - After all this, what does your waveform look like? (You started with lots of sines but now their peaks have been pushed in and 'harmonics' have been added around them, wait a minute, they're square waves! - Oh, and of course now it's the digital age, lets normalise it to fit as much signal as we can on the master. If mastering engineers can't hear the crap they are putting out they shouldn't be calling themselves mastering engineers. I've seen so many muso's disappointed (after getting over the initial excitement) with the mastered sound compared to what they had in studio. As a recording engineer I have had sessions down that were just special (probably flukes too) but were not in the exact format that the company thought would sell. After mastering, while the 'product' was more marketable, it was unremarkable. Just another bunch of noise. I am sure that if the mastering engineer had listened to the whole thing through several times BEFORE messing with it, the outcome would have been different (I tend to obsess about stuff I record and always get better ideas after many listens). Anyway advice for the next generation: The rest is a note too. If you mix all the colours on your palette you always get brown or olive. If you whisper so they can barely hear you, then you shout, you'll scare the @#$%^* out of them. If you always shout you're just a loud bore. Make art.

My personal glaring example of this was Vertical Horizon's Everything You Want. Big radio song and I heard it a million times before I heard the CD. WOW. The CD was so much more dynamic. It was like listening to a different song. Now I understand the reason for radio compression but to master songs this way is just criminal. Especially now that so many people are foregoing CDs completely, and just buying MP3s. They never have a chance to hear what the music wanted to be. Of course you can make all kinds of arguments about how true audiophiles still do everything the analog way, and/or the lousy 44.1 kHz/16-bits of CDs just isn't high enough, etc. I guess there's a certain element of where to draw the line here, but it's depressing how far down the line is trending these days. *sigh* :( -Cory \m/ -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio
