To make the actual recording I use timemachine which, via jack, is the only thing connected to the soundcard inputs. The outputs from the soundcard also go to the headphone amp, so I record while playing back all the synth stuff (and any previous recordings). Finally I use audacity to line up the vocal with everything else. In actual fact latency is set to 5.8mS on my machine but I doubt I'd notice anything if it was higher. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
