Thanks Ubuntustudio you do not have to fight thru the installation-hassles of optimized systemcomponents so you can start right away with 1.: qjackctl Start it, set up the parameters for jack and start up jack. Allways have an eye on the Mixerapp for you soundchip and if this one does not work OK get a USB-card as Mark recommends - most of them should work OK. 2.: Control the ports qjackctl has a panel called "Connections" it shows you any source of signal jack has to offer and inputs, to wich yo can connect those to. Think of those ports and connections as of virtual sockets, jacks and cables. 3.: Make you first Recording For your needs there s nothing better then Ardour. If you start it up use a template to create a new session and in the session the "Window/Connections"-Menue of Ardour to connect the first track to alsa_pcm_capture if it not is already.... and set the track to record(the little red button in its head) Now you DAW is hot - you should hear your guitar if it is connected to the input of your soundchip. Hit record then play in Ardours Drivecontrol left upper corner and your playing gets recorded :-) > and maybe play around with drum > beats later on Start up Hydrogen and connect its output to another rack in Ardour (yes - - you can connect software as well as soundcards seperately with jack to whatever ports you want :-) ) Using Rosegarden is an Option also - here you have much less possibilities to cut/arrange wave-recrdings but you can have MIDI-Tracks for Drums/Bass/Synths/Ochestra/Godzillanoise etc directly parallel to your wavetracks - much more comfortable if it comes to compose scores for MIDI-Instruments... > pretty new to this but a great interest of mine to write and record my > own music. > Go for it ! :-) LinxAudio has everything in store for this and you can see it grow with good speed - have some passion and patience and you will get real far with it :-) good luck HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHAgE11Aecwva1SWMRAjBiAJ0fcMvGUckiu0yqJ372eJeTLMSMfACdFiss bLaLxlON7qHG3AA4vLtOARo= =ecey -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
