Re: Playback-only sequencer for live performance

Nope :( Ended up using pmidi and having to work really hard to keep my arpeggiators in sync manually.

Re: Cadence/JACK not starting

Steps were: Reinstall ALSA (not sure if this was important) killall jackdbus Open Cadence successfully Change numbers of inputs and outputs from zero to six (for my Komplete Audio 6) Close Cadence and reboot It seems that qjackct...

Cadence/JACK not starting - FIXED? Kinda?

Nothing obvious changed in configuration, just got up this morning and "cadence" returns: Using Tray Engine 'Qt' ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.72:/org/jackaudio/Controller: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible caus...

Komplete Audio 6 misbehaving, JACK1 made it worse

UPDATE: Moving from a USB3 port to a USB2 port seems to have got things working reasonably. I'm still a bit concerned about the amount of mess in my setup; is there a good series of steps for ensuring a sane JACK1 installation? ---------------------------- Hullo, I've got a shiny Komplete Audio 6, ...

Re: Steam Games No Audio

Steam video trailers work fine for me, but they default to being muted in the player interface. Which is how autoplaying web video should behave!

Re: youtube sound

This is all rather concerning. I'm interested in upgrading to an audiofire 4 for my system, but I do watch a lot of youtube videos and also play some games... Has there been any progress with this issue? Are you still convinced it's isolated to Youtube in a browser or are other ALSA applications aff...

Re: Trapped in an endless cycle of login

Yup. From lsb_release -a: "Description: KXStudio 12.04.1" Kernel just updated to 3.2.0-51-generic Purged lightdm, reinstalled kdm a couple of times; I'm still getting the purple background, but ps -A confirms that kdm is running. And I can now log in. WHAT. Well, this is good, but I wish I...

Re: Trapped in an endless cycle of login

As suggested elsewhere I tried creating a new user and logging in; this didn't work. Suggests that it's not something in my /home directory, I guess.

Re: Trapped in an endless cycle of login

(Oh, and df suggests that I have plenty of space in my root partition, which is the usual suspect for this problem.)

Trapped in an endless cycle of login

Pretty much what the title says: I try to login, I get a brief black screen and then I'm back at login again. I've just got back from a few weeks away. Did a bug update through the update manager, rebooted, then this. Tried booting in recovery mode and repairing packages (which took a while, looked ...

Re: Ardour trouble

After a bit more poking: LV2_PATH=/NOT works and/or VST_PATH=/NOT works Presumably the issue lies in an interaction between an LV2 and the VST path. I have an strace output file without LADSPA, but it's still about 16MB. I've tried to update the kxstudio paste but it doesn't want to upload. Grab it ...

Re: Ardour trouble

It's about 26MB! It does look like dssi-vst is the culprit. Is there a way to exclude it from the path for Ardour?

Re: Ardour trouble

Running without LADSPA same problem. Running without VST, it starts up and also opens a log window with: [INFO]: LV2: Discovering 985 plugins [WARNING]: Ignoring invalid LV2 plugin http://home.gna.org/lv2vocoder/1 [WARNING]: Ignoring invalid LV2 plugin http://miplug.in/plugins/dynamic5band/mono [WAR...
