I understand that JACK is a powerful and versatile tool when working with audio in Linux. I'm not apprehensive about learning it - it's just a matter of time. I use Gentoo Linux on my desktop and on two servers I run, and no one who is apprehensive about learning new technologies should _ever_ use Gentoo Linux on a desktop system and expect to get away with it! Gentoo Linux ain't for wussies ;-) I do, however, have priorities on my time, and was looking for a simple solution to what seemed like a simple problem in pursuit another objective which was "at the top of the pile", so to speak. I'll happily put learning to use JACK on my TODO list for when I have some time to spend on it. It's even put me in mind of setting up a separate Linux box just for audio (and possibly AV) work. Gentoo Linux has a sub-distribution explicitly designed for AV work. Ardour has been moved to this package class and isn't even available for the Linux I use on my desktop system. > I would also like to say that this sentence you wrote - "Card has > input - program needs stream from card's input - hit a switch, make a > patch, and/or turn up a fader and it should be a done deal" - almost > exactly describes how JACK works. I understand and appreciate this. It looks as if the problem may be as much with Audacity, from the link which Asmo Koskinen posted to this thread. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | (The Roadie) 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
