Which DAW, from your own experience with a completed music project of 1 or 1,000 songs, is "best". Before I get the responses of "one must consider for his own needs, which ...", please note that I have placed the word "best" in quotes, and ask the question, not on obje...

Thank you for responding, luster. I really appreciate it. However, I must first apologize to all who read my message. I am really sorry for blowing off steam here. I hope you understand that I meant no harm. I was just (more than a little) frustrated that I was not able to plug, play (or record), di...

OK, I have spent hours upon hours with this, and to no avail. Would someone please help me? I go to the IRC chat for linuxmusicians and kxstudio, and no response. Here only one person responds. I am new to this system. I am trying to learn it. However, I also need to produce as I learn. Can someone ...

I am a newbie getting used to the Linux way of doing things. I have been poking around with KXStudio for about a year. It is only recently that I have been seriously preparing to record. So here is my problem. I want to use Ardour as my DAW. I have a bunch of original midi tracks that provide the ba...

I want to use Ardour as my DAW. I have a bunch of original midi tracks that provide the background orchestration. I want to record some instruments - like color percussion and the lead instrument live and mix the two sources together. How do i do this? Please note that I do not get any sound from mi...

OK. I have been unable to maintain progress on learning my studio. I actually had to dismantle and reconfigure everything. In the meantime I have forgotten a lot of what you guys told me to - yes, another one - get help from you folks on getting this system to produce sound. I know part of it is goi...

... connected to the internet while recording. Is it nobler in the minds of Linux to remain connected to the Internet or to disconnect while recording. It seems like most sources say disconnect.

This is a dedicated machine.

Don't know anything about Alsa support of the Alesis MultiMix 8 - it is not listed in the Alsa sound matrix: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Alesis . The only hope is if it uses the USB2.0 audio standard. If it requires proprietary drivers there is not much chance of workin...

How do I set up the distro for full function with a Alesis MultiMix 8 USB mixer? I need to once again submit screens and stuff, right? The machine I set up a couple of months ago quit on me. I am now running a system with the AMD 3, I have 4 GB of RAM and nearly 2 TB (soon to be over 2 TB) of disk s...

I had already read up on the board. Upon reading this, I then connected my USB version of the board. Worked fine through USB. I think I will go with this option, and maybe set up either an XP machine or find some other way to utilize the firewire mixer. Now to learn Ardour, and see if there is a not...

So lets see what is loaded on your system: open a terminal window and type: aplay -l and post the results. Then type: dmesg | grep -i firewire and post the results. Also look in synaptic and see if you have these packages installed (quickfilter ffado): jackd-firewire ffado-tools ffado-mixer-qt4 ffa...

This is what I got under Cadence-Tools-Logs-JACK. A2J and LADISH were blank.

If you click on the (small, downward pointing) arrow just to the right of

Device/Interface: hw:0

you should see a list of possible master audio interfaces/devices.

Nope!
