Will it make any difference to MusE (or indeed Jackd how many inputs your audio card has?) - does it not actually work otherwise? > Within Audacity, i can set the number of recording channels to whatever i > want and they all record properly so i'm a bit surprised why it doesn't > work with jackd... Any idea? All I understand is that Jackd is part of the audio system, it runs on top of ALSA AFAIU - So you'd need to look at your ALSA set-up as well as Jackd. Audacity is an audio editor, MusE is primarily a MIDI editor. MusE doesn't need Jackd to run and probably needs to be compiled specifically to do so. My answer to most things at the moment is download/get hold of a copy of the Agnula / DeMuDi Live CD: http://www.agnula.org/Members/sama/demudi_1_1_1_news and see how they did it on there. cheers tim hall
