Yes, you can change the audio system any time, also while a session is loaded. Ardour-Menu > Window > Audio/Midi Setup > And in doing so, > is there any drawback in doing the export with ALSA ? No drawbacks. Except you'll have to stop jackd if you want to use the same device as jackd is using. There's also a "None (Dummy)" audio system which does not need an actual device, but this only available if Ardour was configured with ./waf configure --with-backends=jack,alsa,dummy (Ardour4 debug builds from http://nightly.ardour.org/ have this enabled). ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
