I finally discovered why I couldn't run Creox and practice guitar using
Gtick for a metronome: Gtick is for OSS, and it throws up the error
"Couldn't start metronome. Please check if specified sound device
and sample file are accessible"
if I try to start it clicking after opening & starting Jack. Naturally,
Jack won't start if Gtick is already running. It looks like installing
the alsa-oss package is what to do to make Gtick compatible with ALSA
and therefore with Jack, but I hesitated and thought I'd ask here
whether there's any reason not to install that package in an Ubuntu
Studio environment--not sure whether it could interfere with something
I'm not aware/thinking of. Am I safe & on the right track?
(If there isn't any reason not to install alsa-oss, then should come
installed automatically by Ubuntu Studio so that Gtick plays nice with
all the Jack applications out of the box?)
