So today I installed a used Nvidia #GeForce RTX 3060 into my workstation PC running #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04.

This feels sick. I mean, a #GPU board with 12GB of RAM, 3 fans, and taking three slots of space, connectors for 5 screens… I even had to remove a part of the lid from my beloved old Dell Xeon workstation to fit it in.

And even worse, my plain old AMD Radeon RX480 was fast enough for pretty much everything.

Yet, #Lightworks #NLE has a nasty bug, or perhaps it's not even Lightworks, perhaps its the old #amdgpu #driver, with this message indicating something, and then only re-starting Lightworks helps:
GLXOpenGLContext::makeCurrent() : Current context not NULL

This occurred like 30 to 60 times an hour, so editing video was close to impossible for me.

Needless to say, now with #Nvidia #CUDA and #OpenCL available, #DaVinciResolve is the obvious thread to my Lightworks installation.

Thank you for nothing, #AI, for making these boards so expensive even on the used market.

Through trial and error, we learned what to put on our pre-stream checklist before every band live stream show. 🫣

🧵 We want the two young fellows on that wall, they said, and then things went a little crazy because I didn't have 70m fibre #HDMI cables, so I had to mount the video switcher into the truss with the #projector and #camera and control it remotely via ethernet…

… luckily, the #GoStreamDeck software by #Osee runs in #Wine on #UbuntuStudio #Linux. I used a #ZowieBox to get the multiview over the network into #OBS on my laptop using #NDI.

… also there was no space directly opposite to the wall, and then these LED onion rings from above in the way… so I had to torture the “quick corners” setup of that projector quite drastically.

New tutorial is live: OBS scene setup for our live band stream using automatic camera switching.

In the video, I walk through our OBS layout.

I cover:
- Scene architecture
- Automatic Switching
- Hotkeys

How to clock-sync a delay #plugin in #Carla using #MIDI clock on #UbuntuStudio #Linux?

I have a DIY hardware MIDI clock feeding all kinds of stuff, including my PC of needed. Yet Jack Midi does not seem to route MIDI clock messages at all.

So I need something to sync my Jack transport to MIDI clock.

So there's this guy on YouTube who claims to have solved the issue by writing midi-clock-jack-bridge “using AI”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Covwhqap27c

Here's his (?) code… https://github.com/ariel10aguero/midi-clock-jack-bridge

Okay, there's some compiler warnings, but it seems to do the job. I can use my #Tal #DubX #Delay and sync to plugin host, which translates to Jack transport, which is sync'ed to #MidiClock from an USB MIDI input.

Now I'm actually experimenting feeding #DecentSampler with #VenusTheory samples from my bass which has a #RolandGK3 #MidiPickup system (I got one of the rare GI-20 units).

EDIT: I fooled myself completely. While this looks good, it DOES NOT SYNC the tempo of my delay. See 🧵.

Weiterhin angefressen vom Dauercrash von #Lightworks unter #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04 gibt es eine Resthoffnung, dass meine alte #Radeon #rx480 #GPU schuld ist. Heute entdeckte ich eine alte #NvidiaQuadro in meiner Schublade. Ursprünglich eine High-End-Workstation-Grafiikarte, allerdings schon ziemlich alt.

Die Dell-Workstation, mit der diese Karte geliefert wurde, begibt sich allerdings displaybefreit in eine Boot-Endlosschleife, offenbar noch vor Erreichen des Bootloades… sobald ich diese Karte eingebaut habe.

Ich schieße also in der eBucht eine gebrauchte Nvidia 1070ti mit furchteinflößend aussehenden Lüftern.

Diese ganze PC-Bastelei fuckt mich hart ab. Vor 20 Jahren hätte ich Spaß dran gehabt, heute ist einfach so: Aaah funktionier doch einfach!
