Re: Brainstorming a new Linux distribution for Music Production and Game Dev

I hope we're not drifting off topic, but IMO linux audio would be best served by adding polish and refinement. Contributing to existing projects that are 90% of the way there and helping them develop it so that its easier to use, sounds good at every setting, looks better etc. That and some more pr...

Re: Brainstorming a new Linux distribution for Music Production and Game Dev

In the next year or so, I'm going to be in a financial position to set up an office and hire a staff to work with me on my ideas. My thoughts are that some really good applications are needed much more than a new distro. I"m not saying there aren't already some great Linux audio apps, but my o...

Thanks for chiming in. I bought a replacement KA6 and I am very happy with it.

Re: Is Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 a good choice?

Thank you. This has more I/O than other devices I looked at such as the Scarlette 2i2. They didn't have enough I/O but the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 has plenty for me. Our place got hit by lightening. Some computers were on UPS's with surge protection. Some computers even had surge protect...

Is Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 a good choice?

I have a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 that I have been using with KX Studio for a while. It was recently damaged by an electrical surge and no longer powers on. I need to quickly replace it. (Later I may try to have this one repaired, but there isn't time for that now.) Should I get the same ...

Re: How to prevent self-connections by Audacious

Audacious seems to makes its own connections internally. I don't know how to prevent Audacious from doing what it is doing and I don't use Ladish. However, maybe you could try writing a script that disconnects the unwanted connections. In terminal, you could use the jack_lsp command to list all con...

How to prevent self-connections by Audacious

I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 and KXStudio. I have a Komplete Audio K6. I have saved a studio with Audacious having only 2 connections: out_0 to playback_1 and out_1 to playback_2. However, when I start Audacious, it self-connects to all 6 playback ports on the K6. It does this even though I also set my...

Re: MPlayer loses JACK connections on every track change

Does anyone know how to accomplish the same result for VLC? (SMPlayer is working great with JACK with the changes shown in my last post. Hope to accomplish the same with VLC now.)
