I wasn't sure which list to send this to, since several applications are involved so this one seemed the most appropriate... I am recording drums from Hydrogen into Ardour, using the multitrack output of Hydrogen to record from, via jack (I had posted a couple days earlier about a jack problem I was having in this scenario). I am now having problems with the instruments in Hydrogen severely clipping in Ardour... the meters are going way into the red, sometimes showing a level of 13+. This occurs no matter what I do -- lowering the individual levels in Hydrogen, changing instrument gain, using a limiter, controlling the audio from envy24control, but nothing seems to affect this. It seems mostly to be the kick drum, but the toms are doing it was well (using UltraAcousticKit). Now, if instead I record from the master out from Hydrogen, this problem doesn't occur, the levels are reasonable and there is no clipping. But this isn't going to work because I want to the individual drums in their own tracks! Is there some other obscure way of controlling this clipping? I am using the very latest from CVS for everything (jack, Hydrogen and Ardour, all built new just today). -- Programmer by Day, Guitarist by Night http://www.chapelperilous.net http://www.alhazred.com http://www.revelmoon.com
