Ok, I'll do that when I get home tonight. I noticed ecasound doesn't show up in qjackctl's connection window until I start it playing... then, after it's playing, I can set up connections. Wonder if there's a way to set up those connections before I start the playing? > > > I got nothing on the AW4416 where I would expect the sound > > from the wav file to show up on all 8 ADAT inputs. > > and where do you expect them to show up? On the pre-fader mixer input channel meters in the AW4416. Likely you don't really care too much about the esoteric workings of the AW4416, but in case you do, there is a pdf here which is not too bad. http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamaha_europe/download/products/20_proaudio/multitrack_recorders/professional_audio_workstation/AW4416/aw4416_blockdiagramm.pdf ugh, big url... http://tinyurl.com/px3ot (well, the block diagram at the end cuts off the left hand side, which is unfortunate, as this is where the input meters are shown.) Anyway, on page 3 of that pdf, where it says "If you select F1 [1-24/RTN] you can see the meter array for all 24 possible inputs..." That is the screen I'm looking at. I have the 8 inputs of the Yamaha ADAT interface assigned to mixer channels 17-24, so expect to see something on the meters for those channels when I get all this working. -- steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
