When we started our band's live streams, we only had a 2-channel soundcard. I try to remember how we made that work with a full band.

New tutorial is live:
How we originally started our band stream using only Ubuntu Studio and a 2-channel soundcard.

We're Linux musicians who wanted to start streaming our band practices. I walkthrough the real path we used when we started out,
starting with a 2-channel OBS setup, then scaled up to more as we kept at it.

Preparing for a little #EventTech job to come… so I simply need two colorful lights, and I have to bring my laptop anyways. Sounds like #DMX / #ArtNet via wifi to me, and since this is #UbuntuStudio #Linux, there's not many options, #qlcPlus is one of them.

Well, QLC+ (version 4.x here), it's free, even open source, but still… I never got really used to it. It is quite different from most lighting consoles.

There's no way to select multiple fixtures in the virtual console, and the faders for RGB fixtures only work until 50%, above they fade into plain white.

But still, it will do the job and I won't have to bring my #lscMantraLite. Which would do the job very well, but there's virtually no FOH space available and it's just those two lights… (other lights in the venue are also there… but not DMX-controllable, haha.)

Tschüss AMD.

Nachdem die Nvidia nun unter #UbuntuStudio ganz gut werkelt, vertickere ich ihre Vorgängerin.

I'm a little disappointed. I set up an ai amp sim + stereo cab sim w/ a few basics. I'm practically maxed out on the #MODdevices Dwarf. Might need a 2nd for effects.

I'm not necessarily opposed but, that makes a huge difference in travel gear & setup time. Signal chain would be limited somewhat as well. Best I could do is use one TRS i/o for distorted and the second for clean from amp box to FX box then into the interface.
🤔
Or reamp. Which doesn't help me at all if I wanted to use only this for shows.

It is possible to DIY a machine to use w/ MOD Desktop but 1) latency 2) footswitches 3) i/o 4) knobs

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