I've been finding direct audio recording into RG 'irregularly successful' so I have drifted to using jack_capture, but that also requires track alignement in any subsequent remix.

Note that because of the -mc option you first need to do the (jack audio) connections to jack_capture *before* you start recording - this is probably good because otherwise jack_capture tries to autoconnect Another approach still using jack transport would be to use another software (e.g. Ardour) for the audio recording part (which I've done in the past) Lorenzo Finally about that superuser thing, that icon-clicking rang a bell here, does the icon execution begin with 'sudo' or such? ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

I've been finding direct audio recording into RG 'irregularly successful' so I have drifted to using jack_capture, but that also requires track alignement in any subsequent remix. And how do you record into Audacity BTW, never tried THAT one yet? Finally about that superuser thing, that icon-clicking rang a bell here, does the icon execution begin with 'sudo' or such? -- There is but one ultimately effective exponent: it is the power of Good. ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

Just tried running it as superuser via sudo rosegarden - still no sign of "superuser" in the terminal title... I'm running Debian 11 with the XFCE desktop.
