Hi guys, Based on Wolke's comments, I played around with Ardour's transport... and it is... unpleasant. :-) If Ardour is the transport master, you can't reposition. And there are still alignment bugs (or "features") in 2.7.1, as far as I can tell. H2 has transport issues, to be sure... but Ardour has a bunch of issues, too (IMHO).
Last Sept., I filed a bug with Ardour (#2385). They correctly suggested that it was a dupe of #1742 (which was closed as fixed in October). However, when I sat down to test it... I get the same issue. My latest note on the bug has some insight into the problem, so I'm copying you guys: =========================== While I do believe that this is a dup. of #1742, I still have issues with Ardour 2.7.1. As you read... this may actually be a configuration issue -- but I'm finding that it's _hard_ to configure. :-) Even if "Auto Input" is disabled, ports are automagically connected whenever a track is added... and this appears to affect latency calcs. I did all these tests at 44,100 Hz (changing the code above to 22050 instead of 24000). ARDOUR AS JACK TRANSPORT MASTER OR SLAVE ======================================== * Audio is 5 periods ahead if a hardware port is accidentally connected and track is "align with existing material" * Audio is 4 periods ahead if the hardware port is diconnected and track is "align with existing material" * Audio is 1 period ahead if the hardware port is accidentally connected and track is "align with capture time" * Audio is correctly aligned if the hardware port is disconnected and track is "align with capture time" Note that "align with existing material" is the default setting for a track. Now... whether all this is a bug or a feature -- it's not very user-friendly and is an easy pit to fall in to.
