Oddly enough, for software that is the heart of professional audio in Linux, there is surprisingly little documentation on this software. Here is about as good a guide as there is on using JACK: http://en.flossmanuals.net/Ardour/StartJackUbuntu That is a chapter in a manual on using Ardour, which is the other application that you WILL want to know if you really want to get the most out of your Ubuntu Studio install. The link to the full manual is: http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/ Many people will recommend Audacity, particularly for beginners. But trust me, if you plan on getting into Ubuntu Studio and Linux audio for the long haul, Ardour is the program you'll want to use. Speaking of Ardour, I noticed there's a good change they won't reach their fundraising goals over at Ardour.org this month. So, as a reminder to all you audio enthusiasts: If you're on this list and you use Ardour regularly and you're not a subscriber, you should seriously consider supporting the program financially. -- -Brian David
