russell_KX user for some time now. Thought id ask here about midi on 12.04lts _64 intel i5. 8gigs ram...reliable machine for several years with Kxstudio 12.04.  Recently trying midi stuff again usuing fluid (calf fluid LV2). Ardour 3.5.403 crashes consitently. Muse crashes consitently. Qtractor does not. Midi files are fine. Any similar experience?20:10
*** russell_ is now known as russell__20:11
russell__k20:12
russell__there we are20:12
russell__hi folx20:13
russell__looking for input on midi crashes. stable machine running 12.04 lts _64 for quite awhile now...20:14
russell__ardour 3.5.403 crashes ....I use Cal Fluid LV220:14
russell__Muse crashes20:14
russell__Qtractor does not20:14
russell__similar experiences?20:15
russell__muse 2.220:16
russell__I keep everything current in synaptic20:16

russell__.tap>tap>tap.20:20
russell__this thing on?  :)20:20
*** HarryHaaren has joined #kxstudio20:34
AutoStaticAs I don't use Muse or Ardour I fear I can't help :(20:57

holsteinrussell__: i actually dont have my 12.04 partiton any longer21:16
holsteinrussell__: i woudl just try and continue to isolate the parts from one another21:16
holsteinrussell__: you have a midi session?21:16
*** sfsafaws has quit IRC21:17
alex-EUJackWinter: evening.21:19
JackWinteralex-EU: hiya21:26
russell__Ive tried 14.04 60 days ago. sluggish compared... By midi session, not sure what your asking.21:27
alex-EUJackWinter: passing this on from testing. Carla seems to run better here, with higher WINE_RT and WINE_SVR_RT settings than are default. Given the settings you've passed to me before something like 55 and 60 might be worth testing with in your setup.21:28
JackWinteralex-EU: better in what sense?21:28
alex-EUJackWinter: I tried quite a few settings going up and down in increments of 5.21:28
JackWinteri guess that would make some of it run in preference to jack and it's callback21:29
alex-EUJackWinter: More stable running K instances. I was and am tryinf to strike a balance in settings between Jack, Wine, Reaper, Carla, etc.21:29
alex-EUJackWinter: My jack settings is 8921:30
JackWinterto be honest i'm testing a wine without rt patch just starting with chrt -f -p 55 wine app.exe and it appears to run very well too.  i'd like to think that the patch helps, but maybe on a fast smp system it does very little21:30
alex-EUJackWinter: Latest dev release?21:30
JackWinteralex-EU: but like i said, maybe worth playing with.21:30
JackWinteri got the wine-staging this time.  the reason it has no -rt patch applied either21:31
alex-EUJackWinter: right.21:31
JackWinterdo you know tuna?  that's quite nice and let's you play with affinities and priorities from a gui21:32
alex-EUJackWinter: i don't know, but i'll go look right now21:32
JackWinteralex-EU: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/1.3/pdf/Tuna_User_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG-1.3-Tuna_User_Guide-en-US.pdf21:32
JackWinterwith that you can also show all the threads in an app, and change priority of just a few threads21:33
alex-EUJackWinter: ok, thanks. just looked in synpatic and it's not listed.21:33
JackWinterprobably much faster than restarting loads of kontakt instances21:33
JackWinteri'm sure it's around for debian somewhere21:35
holsteinrussell__: what are you doing?21:35
holsteinare you opening a session? are you creating one?21:36
holsteinare you sure all your connections are "good" or right? have you tried as another user, to rule out the user config? what error messages are you getting where?21:36
alex-EUJackWinter: Can't find it for debian.21:38
alex-EUJackWinter: I'll fish around for it tomorrow.21:44
alex-EUJackWinter: Thanks for the heads up21:44
alex-EUfalktx: I tried the muse upgrade you added to the repos, and got crashes with X errors. Tried the CLi option you suggested with plastique. No difference.21:45
JackWinterwell off to bed for me :S  cyu21:46
alex-EUJackWinter: night.21:47

russell__@holstein: less prepped than I should be...distracted by football playoffs! Havent tried diff user acct... Ardour: create new session, import midi tracks per file. add Calf fluid. Checked connections in22:06
holsteinrussell__: so, its not that ardour is crashing? then? ardour does start?22:06
holsteinsomething you do triggers a crash?22:06
holsteinyou can start ardour from the terminal, and see what output is there at the crash22:06
russell__oh yeah. regular DAW fucntions seem ok22:06
holsteinyou can look at the JACK log22:06
holsteinyou can, as you are doing, just use what is working for the midi portion of the session and route in JACK22:07
holsteinyou can try as the other user, or with a live iso running JACK and ardour, and isolate all your versions and config22:07
russell__aye! will do. msg truncated to channel.....Muse new session, import midi dies too22:08
russell__Qtractor is fine22:08
holsteinyou can always try in #opensourcemsusicians as well.. may find, at some point, a 12.04 user22:09
russell__i need to download the latest 14.04 iso and check it out again22:09
russell__pretty easy with iso USB keys n whatnot!22:10
holsteini find it a nice way to help isolate things and test..22:10
russell__my mind wondered back 15 yrs when I logged into the ardour channel22:29
russell__its become REALLY easy in most ways22:29
russell__USB key iso with persistence?   8Gig USB drives??????22:30
russell__:)22:30
holsteini dont22:30
holsteini just install to the stick..22:30
holsteini get a normal installation, with "persistence" by definition..22:30
russell__indeed. Done that too....I like to keep a cpl of distros in my pocket to plug into someelses gear. Blows their mind mostly22:31
russell__All i use by default is mixbus or some Ardour 322:31
holsteini use mixbus as well22:32
russell__cool. I love those guys. Easy to deal with. Great sound with their eq algo's, channel comp is convenient22:32
russell__even own most of their plugins. well worth the $$ and its some support on my behault22:33
holsteinagreed22:33
russell__But it coz of linux audio.22:33
*** distrozapper has quit IRC22:33
russell__I use the osx version too sometimes...small old laptop very convenient with FW 12 I/O22:34
russell__Mostly on KX studio for nearly 3 yrs now I think22:34
russell__Even put it on my macbook! :P22:35
holsteinnot me22:35
holsteini gave up on the macbook for linux audio22:36
holsteinthe firewire chipset is a pain22:36
russell__well, my mackbook is a dino, eh! Cant upgrade to newer Osx. Makes *any* linux audio distro attractive22:36
*** distrozapper has joined #kxstudio22:36
russell__FW is a pain!!! but Im greatful for it22:37
russell__Echo Audiofire 12 made me a believer22:37
russell__if only it had dig. I/O (spdif)22:38
holsteinthats on my list22:38
holsteini have a presonus firepod, but, i think the audiofire is a better clock22:38
russell__I got an old Layla with PCI card for US$100~22:38
holsteinand, i have a console i would like to use the pre's from.. so i dont need pres22:39
holsteinthe laylas are nice22:39
russell__I love high end Presonus...dunno about their interfaces tho22:39
russell__The clock and function of the audiofire thru Tex Instr. Firewire chip is very solid22:39
russell__just can get supr low lat.22:40
holsteinits not bad22:40
holsteini have a presonus eureka that is nice22:40
russell__cool22:40
russell__Im a bit of a low pro collecter n hoarder. I got a Delta 101LT I still wont let go of! lol22:41
russell__er..1010LT22:41
russell__nasty xtalk!22:41
russell__Still reasonable converters for $50!22:41
holsteinyeah and works well in linux22:42
*** distrozapper has quit IRC22:42
russell__yes! That was the major attraction originally. Strong support for the envy chip22:42
russell__Trying to come up with an efficient method of linking the Layla & audiofire together for 20x20 analogue I/O synced. No need for Super low lat...but stable @ say 128/2, 44.1 would be useful.22:44
holsteineh. i dont care for linking cards like that22:45
holsteinits a mess.22:45
russell__add an adat or 3! lol. We shall name it Collusus22:45
russell__I agree...22:45
holsteinid like if an adat card could just provide me with 24 channels via lightpipe or whatever22:45
holsteinget my own A/D's and pres..22:46
russell__Mostly all I want is the max inputs. Live recordings...old school style.22:46
russell__i hear you22:47
holsteini have to nap before work.. or i'll fall asleep on the stage ;)22:47
russell__Until Ms Layla, have not had opportunity to play with it on the PC22:47
holsteinanyways, try #opensourcemusicians :) its fun..22:47
russell__avagoodone!!22:47
russell__fanx22:47
