Re: VST instruments in Carla

Try running Bristol via the Kluadia launcher Will do! Thanks! ------------- I also found an interesting read here: http://lwn.net/Articles/502183/ with a link to some interesting synths made for Linux (don't know if they're new or if it's just me) here: http://www.loomer.co.uk/ I might try them ton...

Re: VST instruments in Carla

Last night, I couldn't get all the synths in Bristol to produce sound. I also noticed that the Brighton GUI for Bristol is not installed as default. Should I not use Brighton? Should I open Bristol only at the command line, or is there another app that can control it better?

Re: VST instruments in Carla

err, I think you're confusing the 'VST' thing here. VST is not a regular file (like a sf2 sample bank), it's actually a binary (just like an executable). For this reason there are Windows VSTs and Linux VSTs. We're using Linux here, so native Linux plugins are always the prefered way to go. I don't...

Re: VST instruments in Carla

You're using KXStudio the wrong way. You should never get 3rd party software from external sources, but only through the repositories. This allows package&software signing (so you know it's safe to use) and automatic updates. Those plugins on the jucetice page are **damn old** and don't work an...

VST instruments in Carla

Hi everyone, I'm absolutely LOVING KXStudio!! I'm telling everyone about it, and people are curious to know more! I have a question about a Linux-based VST instrument that I can't get to make sound through Carla. I got the link from KVR, to this page here: http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/?page_id=8...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

Hi AutoStatic, thanks for the tips. I set up Jack just the way you have yours, and I called it MobilePre, too. 48000Hz, 3 periods, 128 frames/period. --The only thing I can't do is change the interface to MobilePre. It's greyed out and can't be changed. As I play, I'm getting static, and although th...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

Well, it seems to solve the problem of the "static" I was getting with my onboard audio card. But I'd be happy to use the MobilePre if it's MUCH better. I don't think it's MUCH better. The difference is probably smaller than say the difference between the MobilePre and an RME device. I've...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

leave input and output field "default" and choose your interface in the device field So if I select default for in and out, I should select the interface in the connections box? I'm not clear on your suggestion here. as to the UCA222, this is not realy a good interface. I doubt it's bette...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

I'm back to KXStudio again, this time using the UCA222 audio card included with the Midi Controller. Works great! The only thing is, when I log in, I get a crash message for Cadence. Strange, because I haven't even opened it. (I usually just go to QJackCtl and work from there.) Should I make changes...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

Hi guys! Thank you so much for your constant patience. Here's the latest: After a series of reboots, it actually did allow me to enter the system. But Jack and Alsa were having some problems: Alsa wasn't recognized either. So, I saved all my files unto an external HDD, and re-installed Ubuntu Studio...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

Ya know, I never thought it would actually be possible to use the Motif as output. However, as it stands, I now have a BIG problem: I bought a new audio card: called M-Audio MobilePre. Seems it's been around a while, although the manual/drivers in the box are only for Windows and Mac. (figures..) So...

Re: Time for a new audio card??

Here on Arch this module only gets loaded when editing rc.conf but, It wont harm your system anyways I'm using ...

Time for a new audio card?? (SOLVED)

Hi everyone, I am getting some unwanted distortion while playing with some VSTi's. I checked my speakers, but they seem to be fine. I tried using the headphone jack instead of the line-out jack, but no change. So I'm wondering: is the distortion due to a cheap sound card? (I'm using my built-in one)...

Audio/video driver updates (SOLVED)

Hi everyone, a real "beginner" question: How do I know if my audio and video drivers are up-to-date? Both audio and video cards on my PC are the default ones. I've checked in the past to see if there were drivers but I usually end up on sites that provide drivers for Windows. :( Or does KX...
