LinuxMusicians

Below is the reply I got from alsa-devel list. I myself have been unable run a full test due to my lack of linux knowledge. Yesterday, I was unsuccessful at getting a guitar signal. I'm also quite concerned about how I'm going to get the phantom power in this card turned on in linux (there is no har...

The alsa-developers email list was helpful. Somebody there told me most of the card's features works (he listed which ones). The ones that didn't work were not important ones. I did a netboot install of ubuntu lucid and put XFCE on top of it. Then KXStudio. When I booted from realtime kernel, I got ...

Thanks I just posted there and on the alsa-users email list, I'm still not sure whether my card is fully supported with ALSA, so I'm hoping someone can tell me.

Again, just to detail my experience here for those who may be able to learn from it: I found faster support from an IRC channel: #kxstudio. And another was suggested that I haven't yet logged into: #opensourcemusicians. Also a netboot iso install was suggested, so when the kxstudio site is back up (...

Getting help from this forum is turning out to be not so fast. The whole linux audio project has been somewhat of a disaster for me. Is there an IRC channel where I might be able to chat with people who would point me in the right direction? cheers.

AV Linux doesn't seem to have a 64-bit version. I have a 64-bit PC, and wouldn't I be able to take more advantage of its architecture if I installed a 64-bit distro?

Ok, I figured out the low latency kernel thing. I dual-boot with Win7. I get a Grub (?? with a debian logo for some reason) screen that gives me xubuntu, win7, and "previous linux versions" option. This must be because the low-latency kernel installed is older than the generic one. So when...

I had to boot with a LiveCD and change the /etc/group file to have [username] at the end of the line that starts with "admin" (just for those who may need this information). I don't exactly know what other groups I was originally a part of but I added some that I found on the internet. I t...

Thanks for the clarification on that. Cadence is useful. I noticed that I was not in the audio group. I entered these two commands below and either one of them (don't know which) did the job of adding me to the audio group (so now, there is a green check in Cadence for that item). sudo usermod -G au...

When I can get my system set up, I'm going to produce a video of my specs and how I got things working. Then I'll share it with you and if you think it's helpful, we can post it in your youtube account.

For anyone following this, just posted a new thread to try to get help setting up my system.

Hello, I've been trying to switch to Linux for home recording. I can't stand Windows and use Linux for all my other needs, but the switch has been slow for audio. First, it took a while to get a card that works. And now, finally having settled on the Xubuntu 11.04 + KXStudio option, I don't know wha...

'kxstudio-default-settings' apparently is already installed with whatever else I installed. I would like to contribute to the documentation, but I have little knowledge about linux audio. My thought is that if I could get my system running neatly, I'm going to detail what I did and post it around fo...

So I'm done with the installation, which consisted of this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kxstudio-team/kxstudio sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kxstudio-repos sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install kxstudio-desktop-xfce sudo apt-get install kxstudio-meta-all sudo ...

Thanks! After few months of playing around with some live CDs (e.g., puredyne, which was nice) and finally finding a PCI card that was recognized (ESI Maya44), I decided today to install a clean xubuntu natty and KXStudio. I appreciate the work you put into it (hopefully, everything will work well a...

Is there a particular advantage to using KXStudio with KDE?
