Hi! I'm having computer trouble again. Basically, I hit limits I couldn't get around so upgraded hardware. It mostly worked great! But that's only "mostly." If anybody knows Ubuntu Studio+JACK, please go look here and tell me whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

It's too bad they don't port Reaper (http://www.reaper.fm) to Linux. :-(

Some things to try:

1. Try completely disabling that onboard sound device. Nothing wrong with putting system sounds through the M-audio. That's what I do.

2. Latency isn't an issue if your recording software can compensate. For instance, mine knows the buffer size and just makes sure all recordings line up correctly after-the-fact.

The only time latency is an issue is if you want "Software Monitoring", which I don't bother to use (since I don't want to deal with trying to solve latency issues). I can monitor just fine using the headphone jack on my M-audio interface, which gives me a direct feed right back from the inputs.

To be certain the sync is exact (to prove it to yourself), you can play the outputs into the inputs of the m-audio with a short loopback cable. Record something percussive such as a click, and play that output into the inputs while recording. Then look at the results in the timeline (zoomed in really far). If they line up, you're golden.

[livejournal.com profile] gerimaple's husbeast knows a thing or few about Ubuntu, etc., but she's been dealing w/ *S*H*I*T* from the nethermost pits of hell, and likely has not seen this. Thou may wishest to email her and request assistance from her spousal-unit :)

Heh! One must not let up on the brutality that is Lexulous! But, seriously, she's usually got sufficient IQ points to toss a forward to her hubby, unless she's so fragged she doesn't hardly know her name, and she's well past that stage now. I think she might even be down to LED rage from incandescent!
