I'm so lost in this GUI. There's no settings for jack, and the name of the current preset is nowhere to be found. Am I blind?

Thanks!

Using Ardour and Helm, sometimes I'll record something (midi) and later find out that playing with some knobs like distortion or reverb yields a nice effect during certain parts. I can't do that "live" unless I'm playing with only one hand. So is there a way to record MIDI, play it back an...

ty for making me feel less dumb about it

Well I feel dumb now, solution was to use $HOME instead of ~

Doing fluidsynth -a jack -j ~/soundfonts/KawaiUprightPiano-20180102.sf2 directly from terminal works as intended, however, putting the exact same line within a bash script results in: Parameter '~/soundfonts/KawaiUprightPiano-20180102.sf2' not a SoundFont or MIDI file or error occurred identifying i...

Does Claudia work on your system even if it's based on Ladish? Have you tried? No, that's what I originally meant when I said ladish wasn't launching. Now I'm using patchbay. I'd like some more automation in the process of plugging my keyboard and having it produce sound, but I guess this is good e...

I've also been using patchage. I liked that ladish had sessions, and because I use cadence to start up jack, and because ladish is right there in the programs to open from within cadence, I woudln't have guessed that it's unmaintained. That is pretty odd, to keep a non-maintained program featured i...

Have you tried Claudia? It might just do the trick and it has sessions. I think Ladish is not really used a lot in itself but Claudia / Catia could be the way to go. In AV-Linux these work flawlessly. https://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applications:Claudia But Claudia is a Ladish front-end. This is wh...

Hi Yama, can you specify why you want to have other applications playing sound at the same time? Maybe there's a workaround to your problem. When working with jack: Have you tried patchage or catia? They work ab bit like ladish but are more recent stable. Hi. Yes, I wanted to transcribe a track, so...

I'd suggest to forget about Jack, ladish and all of that stuff. Jack is a great tool but can be a bit fiddly to setup. Simply use a recent version of Ardour in ALSA mode. Plugin your Keyboard, create a midi track with your favourite softsynth and set the input to your midi device. It's really easy ...

I'm astonished you are having so much difficulty here. Can you give us a run-down again on your kit? That's, hardware, Distro and applications. I managed to get linuxsampler running smoothly (and hence musescore), but I'm now hesitant of exploring other programs. Hardware: just onboard soundcard, m...

I find it confusing as well. Claudia is a ladish front end. If ladish is outdated, isn't Claudia as well? And if that shouldn't be used, doesn't that just throw out cadence as a whole?

Why should you use that ladish? Especially if is said it's old and no more supported. Keeping such software running is asking for problems. Ladisch? Sound routing? Why not use Jack? Or simply alsa? I plug in my midi-keyboard. And dedicate it to a wanted track within DAW and other music software. Th...
