My jack command is Exactly. Audacity has no need of jack... or low latency. It is a tool that is very good at what it does... record audio, not track over track, just record. It does not need low latency, it can do any effects in the application. It is and audio editor, cut/paste/morf audio. but not always real time. It is not a good tool to listen to one track/set of tracks while recording more. If you wish to do that use ardour. It will set up and run jack for you with reasonable defaults for your first use. You can lower the latency on the fly if you need to, all from ardour's menus. Good place to start. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
