Ubuntu audio with Jack

October 27th, 2012

Below is an overview of my current audio set up in Ubuntu with Jack. I mainly use it to fiddle along with internet radio on my midi keyboard. TimeMachine can record anything interesting from up to 10 seconds ago and onwards. The script in the lower screen does the set up. Mixer slides and qsynth channels with different instruments are controlled from the keyboard.

Jaren 50

September 23rd, 2012

In verband met het restylen van onze eethoek naar jaren 50-looks heb ik vier Keverkoplampen aan het plafond gemonteerd:

Helaas gaf het ook ongeveer evenveel licht als twee Kevers die met groot licht de keuken in stonden te schijnen, dus dit is de dimmer die ik daarna heb gemonteerd 🙂

10 jaar

Gisteren waren Suzan en ik 10 jaar bij elkaar. We hebben het gevierd in Grut. Een typisch Nijmeegs restaurant met prima eten en gezellige bediening! Daarna nog een kort bezoek aan Café Jos.

CERN has found evidence that the Higgs particle really exists. Here is a photo of it.

And here is the Standard Model that it fits into.

Jack Audio and PulseAudio marriage in Ubuntu 12.04

June 3rd, 2012

A tip for getting Jack Audio and PulseAudio to work nicely together in Ubuntu 12.04. It took me considerable time, but finally the answer appears to be on ArchLinux. The new new way works for me. Actually quite easy now. It is just one setting in pavucontrol in my case: Route the ALSA stream to the Jack sink. The standard settings in Jack Audio were ok, but check the image for details. I did have to install pavucontrol via Synaptic.

Why? This allows you to run all your sound through the Jack audio server. Particularly flash sound can be mixed with all the other sounds in the Jack server. Nice when you want to play along with Ibiza Global Radio on your midi keyboard. It is also possible to record all that. My keybord skills do not permit me to post a sample of that 😉

Update:

Some more tips for setting up Jack Audio with Qsynth.

– Install the “pulseaudio-module-jack” with synaptic (or some other package manager for Linux)

– Add a sound font to all, or at least one, of your engines in Qsynth. Its like writing without ink otherwise (no sound!). Go to engine setup and the tab Soundfonts.

– Set the audio driver for your engines in Qsynth to “jack”. Otherwise also no sound. Go to engine setup and the tab Audio.
