upgrades fix problems, cause problems

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?

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.

It worked! The cabling was weird and the FastTrack does not like being looped back into itself - not even a little! - but I got it to work (with cheatings! And bad grounding. Noise is irrelevant here) and the drum clicks lined up awesomely in the editor. So even if I can't fix it, I know it won't add that bit of fuckery. Thanks! ^_^
