New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
Hey peeps...
I'm looking to sort out my os cause it's just being a pain in the butt...
My Behringer UMC 1820 is great for output... i can plug stuff in to other inputs and it plays back..
But recording... urgh... it did work... it was fully recognised in ardour.... but for what ever reason now it's just not interested...
I tried recording from a cassette to the pc using audacity... the waveform seemed to match what i was hearing as it was recording but when i played it back it was just static... like white noise... no discernable sound...
I currently have Ubuntu 19.04... I did install the RT kernal but it doesn't play well with the nvidia drivers and as i do 3d graphics and stuff i need that to work too... I amended grub so it doesnt use the rt kernal...
I've seen theres a good few distro's out there now... and I just dont know what to use now...
My PC:
AMD FX8350
Gigabyte GA-990FX UD3
32gb ddr3 ram
Gigabyte Nvidia gtx970
I seem to have some of the std responses others have in other forums.... as i'm not at my computer posting this (booo... work always gets in the way!) I will try to google the responses...
I've used quite a few different distros so pretty flexible... not 100% linux nerd yet (tho i have dropped windows) but getting there...
help!

Re: New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
Ubuntu w/ the KXStudio repo enabled is the way to go. Just don't use that real time kernel. You don't need it. Make sure that the versions of your favourite audio software (Ardour etc.) are from the KX repo and NOT from Ubuntu itself.Pix Retro wrote: I currently have Ubuntu 19.04...

I think that the problem that you have is w/ configuring Ardour and how to use your audio device. You need to provide us w/ more detailed information and possibly screen shots. Sounds to me that you selected the wrong audio source or Jack isn't activated or your're trying to use Alsa when you've got Jack activated etc. etc.
I always test my sound card w/ the simplest setup I can get. I activate Jack (for the right audio device!!!) and start Audacity. Set up Audacity to use Jack. Then restart Audacity. Then start qjackctl to watch the connections. Then I record something. Then I play it back w/ Audacious (not to be confused w/ Audacity) which I've set to playback via Jack. I test if Audacious' playback is properly set w/ an MP3 file of my favorite artist/track.
Good luck!
P.S. Dunno what exactly you mean by "I amended grub".
Re: New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
Theres a way to change the grub startup script so it doesn't use the real time kernal...
I'll investigate the kx repositorys..
I don't use jack as the audio device doesn't display in there... Which could be part of the problem... Hmm... I will do a fresh install of Ubuntu and try it again as I installed the Ubuntu studio apps list but it didn't seem to install everything...
I'll let you know how I get on...

Re: New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
The procedure is always the same:
- Determine number of audio device to use for Jack:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/asound/cards
- Start Jack for device number 1 (= your second audio device):
Code: Select all
jackd -d alsa --device hw:1
Re: New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
aaaahhhhhhh... that might explain the tape issue...
hmm...
will try it again tonight and post back... hope it works!

jackd -d alsa --device hw:2
P.S. Now run qjackctl and click on the button "Connect" to see the 8 audio in- and outputs of your nice new audio device.
Re: New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
should i use the command line first and then run qjack?
Re: New distro suggestions and tips please!!! :D
so...
seems ok
then running qjackctrl message box says:
clicking connect is blank... the UMC1820 shows up the midi port but thats it...
clicked start on qjack
then
Messages box
any ideas? should i just run qjack on it's own?
