This is very old news but just in case there are others like me who missed it, it is quite useful. If you want a low latency distro but do not want the standard Studio desk top it is possible to add Studio to any of the official Unbutu flavours with this command line: sudo apt install...

And here it is:

Have been thinking of getting one for a while but not quite sure, then read some horror stories about the wait times for getting new Rick's, not as bad as GPUs but not far off, then I found this place: https://www.rickysounds.co.uk/ They had one in stock and I liked the look of the place, run...

I am looking forward to trying a bass through it, think there could be some very interesting sounds. Need to get a second amp as well, just picked up a Rickenbacker 4003 so have the stereo option, thinking of putting the bridge pick up through the Weirding Module and keeping a more standard...

This is the page i meant to post yesterday, there is a short video with some of the module sounds demonstrated. https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/210120366167025--way-huge-atreides-analog-weirding-module

That could be a title for a great B movie.

Had my second jab, AstraZeneca, about a month ago, no effects from either. Had a very interesting chat with my haemophilia consultant and the number of people getting blood clots or other problems was about the same percentage as happens with the yearly Flu vaccines. He also noted that in all...

Please note, this is a thread for guitarists, not cyclists :) There have been a lot of good pedals over the years and some pretty dire ones as well. Not sure how good this is going to be, although some of the demo sounds from it were very interesting and as someone who likes SciFi and music...

Not a new member by any means but as am on my Spring/Summer walkabout and not posted for a couple of months thought I would say hello again. Hope everyone is doing well and Hi to all the new members I have missed while away, not even looked at the site for a month.

Not much room for an amplifier when you are on your travels and have found this thing really good: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/14090411521832--vox-ap2-ac-amplug-2-ac30 Sound quality was better than expected and gives me the chance to practise anywhere without disturbing people.

Agree about HDDs, for audio an SSD is a must, although if budget is tight an SSD work drive plus a large HDD storage drive would do for a while, it could easily be swapped out for an SSD later on and with a cheap caddy the old HDD would become a useful USB back up drive.

Agree with above posts. Have been using PCS since 2013 when I switched to Linux. Being able to save close on £100 by not having to pay for a Windows licence gave more cash for useful things like RAM. For myself and friends have bought eight machines through PCS, one desktop the rest laptops...

I strongly suggest you do not show Pups the picture of Nugget sat on Mrs C's head. Imagine what would happen if he decided to try it.

You will notice quite a change, nearly everything works out of the box now and there is far less, often no, hassle. The Nouveau X.org drivers are also performing much better, in some cases better than the Nvidia, although with music the GPU is not that important.

Think that is wise as you know Windows but as dual-booting is fairly simple and nearly all Linux stuff is free it may be worth looking at if you have time in the future. As it is all freeware, the only thing you will waste is your time. If Ardour interest you, it is a great DAW and also cross...

If you want the lowest latency, then using Ubuntu Studio as your OS is the best option. The downside is not all audio software works with Linux, although there is a lot of great software about, Ardour is an excellent DAW.

There is a move theatre in Wien that is still showing the Third Man, an uncut German version. I saw it one night and it finished after the main public transport had shut down. As it was a warm night I walked the few kilometres back to my digs through a few of the places in the film, a great...

Unlike me to go off topic :) One of my favourite music theme.

What music software do you use, if it is compatible with Linux I would suggest dual-booting with Ubuntu Studio as that has a low latency kernel which is a big plus for audio work. There is also a lot of very good free and open source software available for Linux.

Really enjoyed my OU courses, have done a couple of maths and science ones for fun but my original experience was a language studies degree, English and German. About four years before it happened it became obvious my company were going to ditch a load of people and as I disliked the job so...
