It is actually dependent on jack on the input side, and will save to several different formats. It also gives you a handy 10 second pre-record. Once I have the recording safely on disk I then use whatever programs I like to do the processing. The greatest bugbear of using audacity directly for recording is that it uses portaudio which doesn't create any connections until you actually send it data. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
