Best advice I've gotten in a long time. Thanks.

I understand that both solutions work in most cases. For what I have seen, I think I prefer the linvst solution, but I will keep in mind that carla may be able to handle some plugins that linvst cannot.

Succes in using LinVST!

If you want the best support for 3rd party software and from the community (and yes: that's what you want): Ubuntu. Wanna run a stable (web) server: Debian Stable.

Topic starter seems to have lost interest...

@Hedon: thanks for the tip on activating everything in alsamixer for capturing! Glad you've got it working. P.S. Doesn't the 404 hiss/make noise? When I use it as an analogue mixer I cant' seem to get the volume of my synth high enough to get over the noise without overdriving/clipping the 404. I d...

https://wiki.debian.org/snd-emu10k1 You'll likely need the above kernel module, as well as the firmware mentioned earlier in the discussion. This could get your basic i/o working at 44100 or 48000. The convertors on the card are high quality. If not, set up a cheap recycled win7 rompler box for stu...

From a Linux user that cannot program if his life depended on it: please use C! The only applications that I could compile on Linux and that run stable are C applications. I think that programming in Python Ruby and what have you not is more pleasant for most programmers, but from a users perspectiv...

Has anyone tried the fedora music spin yet? There are pretty good music spins of the Linux OS out there. I never ever try or use minor Linux distributions. Had this discussion years ago too. Some people use Linux as a gimmick on an extra computer on which they install a new Linux distro daily. I ac...

Not sure how to embed screenshot like you did, so here's link to screenshot. Qjackctl looks like this: https://imgur.com/ttnzIu4 https://imgur.com/ttnzIu4 I'm seeing the four (4) inputs AND outputs. I strongly suspect there's a config file somewhere that Jack is using from my previous UMC-202HD dev...

Maybe they're using Jack. PulseAudio can output sound to your speakers from more than one application at the time. Alsa and Jack can't.

I think the topic starter lost interest in our posts.

Linuxmusician01, Thanks for responding so quickly! I believe jack is started with Cadence, when I switch from my onboard soundcard to the USB Behringer 404HD. Typeing the suggested command in terminal yielded this: jim@Asus-TT:~$ jackd -d alsa --device hw:3 jackdmp 1.9.12 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul D...

@Hedon: I think that you're not using Jack as a layer on ALSA. On my Linux PC the 404 doesn't work w/ only Alsa either... (only just found out). The 4 in/4 out only works w/ Jack. You can start Jack w/ the following command (if the 404 is audio device number 3, like in your post above): jackd -d als...

[...] the trouble however is that as soon as I activate the output in rosegarden to be my keyboard, it changes the sound of my keyboard. It is most likely playing back everything I play doubletracking the keyboard as I play. I don't know Rosegarden, but knowing Midi this seems logical to me. I thin...
