I'm not at all sure how I could set that up though. I get one "capture" from the soundcard, and JACK can take it or leave it. I know of no way to treat "AC97 Capture" differently from "Music Capture". Even if I could do that, it wouldn't serve this interest particularly well, because all the external inputs (mic, line in, CD capture, aux capture) all feed into the same "AC97 Capture" channel on the card. > Well, it could be useful if you have a multi-MIDI-track composition that > uses external or JACKified MIDI synths and you want to make a more > concrete mixdown of it.

Maybe I can get something to work. It will require playing with things of which I'm only peripherally aware, I think. Oh, the on-list comments from last night... I generally like this new scheme with the arming buttons. I like the way it makes it obvious at a glance which sort of track is which. It does need to update itself when you change the track type, but you already said that. There's a fair amount of inconsistency here. Do you want me to spell out all the ways I can trick it into doing bad things? I'm getting multiple MIDI LEDs lit, and getting MIDI LEDs that stay lit while audio LEDs are lit too. The biggest overriding problems: * arming an audio track doesn't always disarm the MIDI track * vice versa * changing a track's type cancels all bets -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
