[15:56] <n4dir> Hello. I think about having a look at VeeSeeVSTRack. To install it the github page says unzip it and put the vst2_bin folder to a VST2 folder.
[15:56] <n4dir> Where might such a folder be?
[15:56] <n4dir> oh. i want test if it works with ardour (or lmms)
[15:57] <OvenWerks> there is no official vst folder
[15:58] <n4dir> OvenWerks: yes, good. But where can i put it than so that ardour finds it?
[15:58] <OvenWerks> so ~/.vst or ~/.vst2 should be fine
[15:58] <n4dir> ah, good. thanks. :-)
[15:58] <OvenWerks> then in Ardour you can set the directory to look at.
[15:59] <n4dir> ok, perfect. Will try it later. fingers crossed and all.
[16:00] <n4dir> sorry for such a question, but i got that right that VST is like a Windows plugin "form" while ladspa and i forgot the other are the Linux variant?
[16:00] <OvenWerks> edit->preferences->plugins->vst->linux VST path
[16:00] <n4dir> great, thanks for the exact info.
[16:01] <OvenWerks> vst can be windows linux or mac
[16:01] <OvenWerks> however, a windows vst will only work in windows, a mac vst will only work in mac and a linux vst will only work in linux
[16:02] <n4dir> i see. I misunderstood then.
[16:02] <OvenWerks> linux vst are often call lxvst
[16:03] <OvenWerks> Ardour at this time only supports vst2. I think vst3 will be in Ardour 7 (if we are lucky maybe 6.3)
[16:04] <n4dir> I run into way more than i can handle. This is quite a complex subject it seems. Well, time will tell.
[16:05] <n4dir> in other words: i am more than fine with what i got :-)
[16:05] <OvenWerks> :)
[19:18] <lilith93> Hi, is it possible in Ubuntustudio to prevent Carla from making automatic connections?
[19:19] <lilith93> Everytime I open a program that uses Jack all my outputs are routet to the interface directly. As I'm using Sonarworks this is suboptimal
[20:30] <Eickmeyer> lilith93: I'd ask in #lau and specifically ask falktx as he's the developer of Carla.
[20:32] <lilith93> Eickmeyer thanks. I'll ask him. In Cadence that's an option to ignore self connections, maybe he can implement the same in Carla.
[20:32] <OvenWerks> lilith93: what makes you think Carla is making the connections? Carla would only auto connect Carla itself.
[20:33] <OvenWerks> Each jack client decides to auto connect and if properly designed should have a setting to make no connections
[20:34] <lilith93> OvenWerks: Ok, if I start Bitwirg and connects by itself that's not a problem. But if I have Bitwig connected to Sonarworks and Sonarworks to SystemOut and start Renoise, Bitwig get's connected to Systemout also
[20:35] <Eickmeyer> lilith93: At no point should you ever use Cadence in Ubuntu Studio.
[20:35] <OvenWerks> so bitwig should have a setting to not autoconnect
[20:35] <Eickmeyer> !kxstudio | lilith93
[20:35] <Eickmeyer> Just FYI. :)
[20:35] <lilith93> Ok, good to know
[20:36] <lilith93> I read it's incompatible
[20:36] <lilith93> I used it before with Debian
[20:36] <Eickmeyer> Yes, it's incompatible. You may, however, download individual plugins from kx.studio.
[20:37] <lilith93> that's what I did
[20:37] <lilith93> I dodn't add the repos
[20:37] <Eickmeyer> Perfect. :)
[20:37] <lilith93> didn't
[20:39] <lilith93> ubuntustudio works really GREAT out of the box!
[20:39] <Eickmeyer> Excellent. :) That's our goal.
[20:39] <lilith93> performance in bitwig is better that on debian with tweaking
[20:39] <lilith93> I don't know what's the difference is. Maybe some boot paramters?
[20:40] <Eickmeyer> Probably the lowlatency kernel.
[20:41] <lilith93> I used the RT kernel in Debian
[20:42] <Eickmeyer> That's asking for security trouble.
[20:42] <Eickmeyer> !rt
[20:42] <Eickmeyer> er...
[20:42] <Eickmeyer> Yep, that's the one.
[20:42] <oerheks> :-)
[20:42] <lilith93> is the timer in the ubuntu lowlatency kernel 1000 Hz and can this make a difference compared to 250 Hz?
[20:42] <Eickmeyer> It's 1000hz.
[20:43] <lilith93> ok, that was not available in Debian and the liquorix kernel was even worse
[20:43] <lilith93> but I'm not going for low latency... I just relaized that the DSP load in Bitwig is supersmooth
[20:43] <Eickmeyer> Well, that's good.
[20:44] <lilith93> https://imgur.com/q5dSkpK.png
[20:44] <lilith93> It was much noisier with Debian
[20:44] <Eickmeyer> Yeah, that looks steady. Also, pushing the processor to performance does the trick too (in Studio Controls).
[20:46] <lilith93> yes, sure.. that's the most crucial setting of all
[20:46] <lilith93> btw. where are the parameters like rt prioritiy for audio group set in ubuntustudio?
[20:48] <n4dir> i think in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf
[20:48] <lilith93> usually it's in  limits.conf
[20:48] <lilith93> let me check
[20:49] <lilith93> thanks that's it
