  • I've waited a looong time to make this video. I was waiting for Crostini audio capture to be more accessible. And it finally is, so here we go!

    I've been keeping your videos in my "Watch Later" for a while now, and just tried this method. I did have to restart a couple times, and try some different settings, but finally got it all to work.
    Your directions are very thorough, and without them, this would've been impossible for me.
    Now to get a decent usb mic and get to work again!!

    Hey Thomas , ever used simple screen recorder? Does it work through crostini on chrome book? Loved that program when I was running Linux mint

    • @Thoroughmas
      @Thoroughmas  4 года назад +5

      Unfortunately (I believe this is still the case) no screen recorders work through Crostini, because of the way it runs inside a virtual container. It means Crostini is secure by design, but unable to perform tricks like that I'm afraid. Chrome extensions are currently the best way to go.

Initially I was going to try and use Soundtrap, however it doesn't pick up the mic or guitar through the interface and I'm not sure if it's something using Audacity will fix or if I need to do something else to get it to work. Any help would be amazing!

    you see, i did follow the instructions until i go to chrome//:flags and searched for "mic" but the options you told me to enable weren't there (my version by the way is 91 official build, 64 bit) so i didnt know what to enable... so i just enabled.. "show plugin Vm microphone permissions" and "Vm camera/mic indicators/notifications" thats what i enabled then i followed the exact instructions afterwards and suprisingly it worked! but is enabling this options alright? does it not effect anything in anyway to my computer?

  • @MrBackin5ive
    @MrBackin5ive 4 года назад

    apt-get is a better, more robust option for updates and upgrades, generally speaking. Not to mention, apt-get is less of a resource hog, believe it or not.
    And on the top of resources, Crostini continues to barely inch along, only recently reviving broad support for audio, for example, and yet it continues to underutilized resources, RAM in particular. 8GB of RAM is more than enough to run lightweight Linux applications, and yet were you to lookup RAM usage, you'd think you were editing 3D graphics or something absurd like that.
    Why is crouton so much better when it comes to handling such basic functionality? Do we refer to this crostini issue as a sort of RAM leakage, or is it something else?
    I keep coming back to check it out, and absolutely there have been very exciting and compelling new updates, but all-around, crostini still manages to fall far below what crouton has long since already been capable of, and on lower-end, older hardware too. And yet, I'm noticing more and more crouton breaks, as a direct result of crostini being brought to the chrome os platform.
    Thus far, crouton breaks were little to none, and the more recent notable break has a very simple workaround. But as of the last few updates, my Chroot is not behaving as it should, and I suspect it's because, essentially, developing crostini requires blacklisting other methods.
    This proprietary nonsense is exactly the reason why I switched to chrome os/linux years ago, but maybe I was just living a pipe-dream. Que sera, sera.
    Also, and I apologize if you mentioned this in a separate upload, but I'm curious if that's the dev channel you're on. I found that, while many crostini features are obviously more accessible on the dev channel, it also, unfortunately, makes the ram management issue even worse, not to mention over-heating is significantly more likely to occur, which of course also has an impact on performance.
    Is dev channel better for making crostini actually work, as opposed to say beta channel, as it currently stands?

I DO have a question though - SUPER NEWBIE - trying to get myself set to start up a podcast - plugged in my USB mic and can record with it, but to playback I have to unplug it from the USB to hear my recording. I had bluetooth headphones on and that that was the problem, but turned off Bluetooth and same deal. Have to unplug the mic from my USB before I can hear my playback. Is this normal? Thanks so much!

      Regarding your issue, maybe double check what your audio output it sent to. Click on the clock down bottom right, then click on the arrow next to the volume slider, and you'll be able to set your audio output device there.
      It might think your USB mic is also an audio output device.
