I bought the audiophile because it is high quality, and has hardware monitoring for zero latency. mostly based on reading archives of this list :-) But i haven't really found any docs on how to use this setup, so i am figuring it out on my own. I go into ardour (which is very cool, but also very complex for someone like me who has never done recording before) and turn on the "hardware monitoring" option. i also have h/w monitor turned on in qjackctl. When I do this, things stop making noise unless i pipe them directly into the digital mix in envy24control. a little awkward, but it would be ok if the settings in envy24control didn't change themselves. so what i would like to know is, does anyone have a doc that explains how to configure ardour, jack, and the envy24control to work together? at least, if someone could explain to me here how they work with a setup similar to mine. i see lots of posts saying "use envy24control", but they don't explain what to do with it. i could use someone with a bit of experience to help me up the curve, and if someone can do that i would gladly write an envy24/jack/ardour howto. > -Eric Rz.
