I'm not sure whether my card supports this or not, is there a way to find out? But I was able to start jack with HW monitoring and I can also hear what I play on the line in even when I'm not recording. I tried to set Options->Misc->HW monitor in Ardour too... but didn't notice any difference. Still i see "late driver wakeups" and such.

Kind of... but how about actual recording itself from the capture? Please correct me if my concept is wrong. I'm quite new to this computer recording stuff. HW Monitoring makes the line input audible on the output. Capture puts the recorded samples to the application buffer then to the disk. I agree with the "monitoring" latency but how about the "recording" latency? Thanks, Louis ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
