hi erich,
first at all:
your name suggests that you speak german? Is it ?
It does not. I'm a 4th generation American that my parents decided would
be nice to reach back into our heritage and use a German spelling for my
first name.
The reason, why I ask this is, i have some ideas and some questions for
writing somewhat of a "handbook for ubuntustudio-users". Especially for
beginners.
I'm struggling with various things myself that have obviously changed
significantly since version 14.04.
This one example may explain something:
looking in the internet for install a really working jackd with some
hardware, connected to the own hardware, brings a lot of obsolet
description, which are whether usable nor advisably.
I found a lot of such descriptions that were definitely too old and
therefore unusable.
I also will try to get connections to other relevant mailinglists, so I
get more information for some special areas like alsa and others.
But if you know about the latest developments in a manual, you could
tell me the contacts there so that I can get in touch with them.
It would be nice to hear from you shortly
bye hans
This sounds great. I highly suggest discussing this on the Ubuntu Studio
Development mailing list
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel). We
already have an "Ubuntu Studio Audio Handbook" of sorts, but it's very
outdated now and definitely needs some love. You can find that at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/AudioHandbook.
The thing with Ubuntu Studio is that Studio Controls does most of the
work right out of the box. Connecting various devices, applications, or
plugins can be done within Carla. What we're trying to do is make it so
that it's self-explanatory.
Additionally, I'm heavily involved with Fedora where we are testing
Pipewire. Once Pipewire is integrated, it will completely drop-in
replace Jack and PulseAudio and make professional audio (really *all*
audio) on Linux much easier since everything will "just work". So, with
that, bear in mind that any of your efforts, unless updated, may end up
obsolete within a few years since this technology is moving fast. So, I
hope you can commit to keeping it updated.
That said, I look forward to whatever you can come up with. Any and all
documentation efforts are welcome. :)
