Re: kxstudio repos + which OS? What do you like?

Thanks for all the suggestions, people! Since I don't play live and my PC is fairly new I don't really need a super lightweight distro. I'm not ruling them out yet. Again, software availability is important. I don't go crazy and install a whole bunch of stuff but it's important. Debian is an interes...

kxstudio repos + which OS? What do you like?

Ok, I recently did an update in kxstudio and on restart it couldn't find my root file system and dropped to an (intramfs) prompt. I'm always chasing issues and not making music. I want to change things up but I really love what's in kxstudio's repos. So, I'm thinking about using the repos in a diffe...

Re: Steinberg CL1 USB audio card not working

It is up to date, I have fwupd 0.7.0-0ubuntu4.3. I ran apt update && apt-upgrade anyway, rebooted, lots of other packages were upgraded but no difference. Seems Kubuntu is unaffected for whatever reason so I may either try Kubuntu with the Kxstudio repos or got back to Kxstudio fully. Thanks...

Re: Steinberg CL1 USB audio card not working

Anyone have any idea? I really want this to work and I'm not so enthused about going back to a 14.04 base. I'm beginning to think that the driver for my audio interface is missing from the 4x kernels. At least this is the next thing I want to try at. I don't know how or where I can find the driver a...

Re: Steinberg CL1 USB audio card not working

There appears to be no .asoundrc or asound.conf file.

Re: Steinberg CL1 USB audio card not working

None of those instructions worked for me. I can't locate the quirks table and I wouldn't even know what patch to install... I might be missing something but I've performed all the steps I could in that post. I tried sudo alsa force-reload and got these results, seems a lot is failing to load: Unload...

Steinberg CL1 USB audio card not working

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 with the kxstudio repos. I have a Steinberg CL1 but I'm not getting any audio from it. The light indicating it's working is off. It worked fine out of the box in 14.04. It's class-compliant. I'm trying to get it working but all the info out there is years out of dat...

Re: LMMS not loading VSTi's, major xruns, wine?

Never mind.

It seems I had to log out and then log back in. VSTi's under Vestige working just fine now :)

Reinstalling lmms and lmms-vst-full did the trick.

Thanks all!

Re: LMMS not loading VSTi's, major xruns, wine?

I managed to figure it out. It seems Wine 1.8 and the current version of Vestige don't want to play nice. I can load them up in Carla-rack without issues. I don't mind using Carla but I have a lot of VSTs in Vestige. Does anyone know how I can change the instruments over to Carla? Whe the VST fails ...

[SOLVED] LMMS not loading VSTi's, major xruns, wine?

I'm running kxstudio 14.04. I recently did an apt-get upgrade, lots of packages. Since the upgrade, I can't load Windows VSTi's at all. Here's the terminal output when I try to run a VSTi in LMMS: theking@AV-Station:~$ lmms Error while reading. Remote plugin did not connect. Error while writing. QPr...

Re: Keeping focus while writing/composing, transitions

Thanks to all of you for the great advice! From what I've read my biggest issue is that I'm not iterating. I've been working on an iterative approach and things are going a little better. Believe me I've taken all this advice to heart and it's helped me in my music. I manages to turn a one minute so...

Keeping focus while writing/composing, transitions

So I have this issue. I will come up with some catchy lyrics or a good beat, sit down in my studio and start hammering it out. The problem is I get distracted. I'll come up with a nice beat, start working on melodies and I get lost in the land of patches and I make my own as well. What materializes ...

Re: looking for a substitute for LMMS, VST grief

Thanks for the replies.

I'll definitely be sending crash reports to the LMMS Dev. It's a great program when it does run.....

I'm going to try Muse with Carla but it's good to also know some other options.

Much appreciated, folks!
