JACK is pretty useful. You may be able to configure /etc/asoundrc or $HOME/.asoundrc so that ALSA I/O is routed to JACK[1]. > While my dream DAW doesn't come true, does anyone know a command line > way to record MIDI while simultaneously playing an audio file and > keeping both in sync (even if it involves JACK)? Nama[2] is a command-line application that uses Ecasound for recording and editing audio. Although it is currently oriented toward audio, Nama can send commands to a midish process, and has been used with midish and a2jmidi[3] for combined audio/MIDI recording under JACK. A simple hack for starting audio and MIDI in sync was to put midish and ecasound commands in the same line: nama> midish-command r; start # For midish, "r" means "record" I expect we'll eventually add in a MidiTrack class that would handle MIDI recording and playback. For now, you would have to issue all the midish commands yourself. Joel > Well, that's it. Sorry for the overly long post.
