Can i add all the kxstudio packages to a new Debian installation much as the above link covers this in the case of Ubuntu?

Yes. Follow instructions here: http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories

I am using it with Sid and it's been great.

got it, thanks

I'm not too familiar with the debian family so first I'll just ring it out on its own, as installed in its own partition

You may also try AVLinux which is Debian based with KXStudio repositories

AvLinux doesn't have Rakkarack (because it's no longer being developed), but KxStudio does. If I can get GuitarRig5 running under wine then I'll probably stay with Tumbleweed mosty because I'm more familiar with Suse & Kde. But I do intend to kick the tires on all the Linux 'studios', I even wish someone did a Tumble-Studio, something like a tested and bulletproof meta-package which once installed could be flagged LOCKED :-)

I just bought this chinacheap USB guitar interface (aka as C-Media Headset adaptor) and was amazed to find that for $25 it recorded into Audacity with clarity and in exact sync with the stock latency-offset on both Tw and KxStudio but was horribly late under windows7. I mention this only because it seems to me that latency is already a far lesser problem on Linux before getting completely taken care of in the 'studios' .

You can add KXStudio to AVLinux. I haven't tried it myself, though.

I haven't really played with Rakkarack that much but from the little I have done I found guitarix to be loads better. Have you tried that?

I tried to follow the advice for incorporating the KxStudio package subset into a Debian installation but it bombed!

The installation DVD title is "Debian 8.7.1 Amd64 1" and the first command sugested @ http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories is:

Code: Select all

wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/+archive/kxstudio/+files/kxstudio-repos_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb
When I enter that command the response comes back with a request for the DVD named above but with more in the title. But the additional part of the title it wants is NOT in the title of the DVD so it just keeps repeating that the request each time I hit enter, seemingly incapable of recognizing the DVD it was installed from.

I'm used to Suse and am into this exercise to get Guitar-Rig-5 running under wine as part of the KxStudio meta-package. Is there a way in Debian to mark cetain installed packaged 'untouchable' so as to prototect them from being overwritten by well-meaning regular Debian updates or are the two groups of files completely apart both by way of their names and of the package contents?

Something is wrong with your /etc/apt/sources.list. Open it in a text editor as root and remove DVD entries.

I use KXStudio with Debian stable and the Liquorix kernel and have been very pleased with the resulting system

Thanks, that led somewhere. Here's the file as I found it (I later commented out the 2nd line and uncommented the bottom 2)

Code: Select all

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.7.1 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20170116-11:01]/ jessie contrib main 
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.7.1 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20170116-11:01]/ jessie contrib main 
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
# deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib 
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib 
# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
# A network mirror was not selected during install.  The following entries
# are provided as examples, but you should amend them as appropriate
# for your mirror of choice.
# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib 
# deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib 
This arose (I think) when I did the initial install Off-Line (as a matter of policy)

Once past this hurdle I retried the repo commands cited earlier with mostly success, the longish response is pasted in at the bottom.

Next are 2 screen shots taken while I tried to fix the problem.

I stopped at this point thinking it's surely best to resolve the issue before pressing on :D

So far I have not had latency problems but then my needs are very modest and not even close to those of a pro. What I've been doing on Suse with the canned kernel is use rosegarden to create all-digital backing tracks. Then when I THINK that I'm ready :shock: I record my guitar track with audacity and merge it with the backing track also using audacity. I have an amp and a Boss-Me-80 for effects but find that for recording I get far nicer sounds withOUT the amp so that is what led me to explore digital effects on a computer. I had very briefly tried rakkarack once but gave up when I saw that it might not be there in the future. I can also record with just the effects out of the Me-80 so a /computer amp/ isn't really needed but I might take a look at guitarix in the future. For now I just wanna get GR5 working now that I've stumbled onto it (in my other thread I only wanted to find out the software used by Stepen Peters and it was in response to THAT question that my teach said 'Guitar-Rig').

Here's how my sources.list looks like:

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates main contrib non-free
I guess if you use this one and replace "testing" with "stable" or "jessie", you should get a pretty good stable distro. You can remove "contrib" and "non-free" sections if you would like to have distro without proprietary software.

I got the repo-tree sorted out, and I've started both the Tumblewed and Jesie procedures all over again. Also managed to import the KxStudio repos into Synaptic this time (after installing the prerequisite 'apt-transport-https' package).

Then I installed wineasio rpm in Tumbleweed without any apparent issues, for Jessie it was another story. It seems like Synaptic wants to remove some packages in trade on account of presumed dependency conflicts as per the attached images. I thought it best to hold everything until I sort this out. Then I'll press on another few steps until the next hurdle, intending to put all this into a tutorial.

so it looks like that goes for Jessie too, bummer.
