Ok here are my more questions! :D I've tried to recompile a kernel in my mdk 9.1 with low latency support but, as i expected, all went wrong. this was my first kernel compilation. Than i've seen that with fedora core 1 the setup of my linux box to record audio could be more easy. It's right?! I've tried to start ardour that i've setup with the command " # urpmi jackit-realtime ardour audacity alsamixergui swh-plugins cmt" that i've find in this page "http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT8018846552.html". Ardour start ok but i can insert any track or sound, i don't know how to record for my mic, just for make a test. I've also read the manual that i've found in the ardour home page but i can't find an help for my problem. bye Livio
