Lubuntu is good lightweight desktop and was a good base for a DAW when i used it

Should be not much difference to Ubuntu or Mint to add KX repositories and install

i find JACK works better at 48kHz compared to 44.1kHz with most audio interfaces

This appears to be a line level audio DAC device has USB connection from PC, 2*XLR outputs & a mono/stereo switch no hardware controls like some interfaces so level settings should be in alsamixer 'this unit complies with part 15 of the FCC rules' = class-compliant if it is visible in ALSA, sugg...

I am primarily interested in switching the master instead of restarting jack completely. do not see how you can switch out system device that is part of the command to start JACK without restarting maybe if started JACK with dummy device, then alsa_in and alsa_out commands to load ALSA device would...

I spent a couple of years trying to get ALSA loopbacks and never found a solution that worked well but Pulseaudio Jack Sink/Source connections have been no problem for me since Pulseaudio v6.0 it isn't necessary for a lot of audio tasks but many users still want to hear Pulseaudio I find Pulseaudio ...

turning pulseaudio off, is virtually impossible, for anyone without any real linux know how. For Ubuntu and other distributions using systemd, to stop Pulseaudio for current session: systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service Replace 'stop' with 'start' to turn it back on without re...

I got no sound when Jack is running. All youtube videos just freeze also That is likely to be a problem with audio playback in Pulseaudio trying to play to ALSA device taken by JACK check if you have module-jackdbus-detect in Pulseaudio: pactl list short modules |grep 'jackdbus' if not, you need to...

I meant that it was not following the open source ethic to incorporate some package or other into a piece of software such that the piece of software becomes exclusive. As for name calling, all I did was point out that it is in breach of what is the accepted opensource software 'contract' to publis...

I have always been advised to never run pulsaudio as a system wide instance, for security reasons. Pulseaudio documentation confirms it is usually not good to run Pulseaudio as system-wide daemon But Pulseaudio running under systemd is not running as system-wide daemon it still uses daemon.conf and...

I prefer to do partitioning before installing
then choose manual install option ('do something else')
because automatic installs can create a different partition layout

there is not usually much difference either way to how partitions are created

I have xfce4-taskmnager that looks similar

but use conky to display CPU information and also temperatures/fan speed on desktop

This is bad news for me; I've just installed Ubuntu Studio last weekend and was about to add the KX repos (and amongst other things I wanted to use Cadence instead of Ubuntu Studio Controls). Do you remember where you read that? Do you have a link maybe? Erich Eickmeyer from Ubuntu Studio has said ...

MXL BCD-1 Polar pattern:Cardioid Sensitivity: -54 dB re 1 V/Pa Impedance: 600 ohms Zoom U22 Input gain: 0 – 43 dB Input impedance: 2.6 k Ω (MIC) 484 k Ω (Hi-Z) Cardioid is more forgiving than a super-cardioid, but still have to keep close and on-axis with this mic -30dB level seems low, but the zoom...

can add any amount of Pulseaudio sink/source connections with 2 basic commands pactl load-module module-jack-sink pactl load-module module-jack-source use command more than once and can have multiple sinks/sources helped a friend on arch-based distro recently to get rid of duplicate sinks/sources wi...

KX Studio developer is on a break until later in the year and there does not appear to have been any updates for KX released since Ubuntu 19.04 came out so for KX packages may be better sticking with 18.04 LTS Ubuntu Studio 19.04 has a new package 'Ubuntu Studio Controls' for JACK appears to be very...

icecast for audio streaming (shoutcast if ok with closed-source and want extra features like auto-dj background player when not on air) you can find some free stream hosting, but most have limitations that may make it difficult to integrate to a website: limited time/bandwidth or inserting their own...
