Re: Beginner question about KXStudio

It sounds a bit condescending, almost as if you are telling the poster, "Use Google, idiot". I thought the original question was reasonable to ask here. How come that is bad? So, now it's okay to post idiotic shit on forums, like: “I'm a total dumbster and can't even wipe my ass without a...

Re: New GxValveCaster.lv2

I liked the sound, it's probably the best tube driver on Linux for this moment. But there's a bug: knobs react only to mouse wheel, but not to dragging them.

Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. On my machine, there's a vast difference in Ardour's performance between JACK and ALSA. JACK is a clear winner.

I'm maybe going to take this on a tangent, but how do people manage projects using the whole OS as the rack?

Re: LV2 Presets

LV2 states are either stored in own host format (like Carla does it) or as RDF (like Ardour does). What you should use depends on the host you're gonna use your presets in.

Re: Audio Mastering Suite by Hotto Engineering

I'll second tramp. JAVA isn't a wise choice for any audio applications, especially if speaking realtime, which is the case with mastering. I still prefer it “classical” way, using plugins on my master bus.

You misunderstand what it does. Audacity doesn't do any dithering on the fly, only when exporting. This JACK parameter allows to dither internally in the server, without any external appliances.

Re: White Noise when restarting Jack

Sometimes when I stop Jack in Cadence and restart it again I get a burst of white noise. After stopping and restarting again it works normal. Does anyone know where this might come from? I was facing the same issue (and sometimes still do) when trying to use DrumGizmo with Ardour with a small buffe...

Re: jackd's dither parm – why?

I have no idea when dithering would make sense since jackd configures the audio adapter to use the configured sampling frequency. This isn't about sample rate, it's used to run JACK in 16 bit mode when an ADC/DAC doesn't support 16 bit. You should use that when exporting audio to 16 bit 44100 Hz fr...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Generation with Ubuntu 17 and Audacity

I know the Scarlett 2i2 is working perfectly on Linux. But for the Solo it's the first review I've seen... I suppose it should work too, under Linux Mint (in Reaper daw). They've got the same DAC and controller with Solo, you shouldn't encounter any problems using it. However, messy software setups...

Re: Falsely Configured 24 bit Output(?)

Are you sure your audio interface is 32 bit? Also, the bit depth of the file your're playing is what matters. Any extra bit depth outside of the file is doing nothing to help. There are no 32-bit audio interfaces, they are either 16- or 24-bit. But 24-bit interfaces use “24 in 32” mode for data tra...

Re: Soundcraft Signature 12mtk with Reaper in Linux?

I read in another post that a user was struggling with the latency, but they were connecting to Audacity. As long as you won't use Audacity and will properly set up JACK server, the problem would be nonexistent. If that console is class compliant, then you'll be up and running in less than three mi...
