Hi all, I have finally managed to get audacity installed, as well as stompboxes2. I can put any sample I have into audacity and apply effects and edit it. However, they have to be prerecorded samples. I am trying to play my guitar through either audacity or stompboxes2. All I can get out of stompboxes2 is s lot of hissing, I have tried muting the mic, unmuting it, etc. whith the mike unmuted I can hear a dry guitar signal. I need to find a way to play my guitar through the app. any ideas? cpu:850mHz Celeron distro: lfs-4.0 soundcard: sblive! alsa version -0.9.2 thank you. james (aka airbrush) -- airbrush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
