But still; it looks like I have to load a sf2 file into the GM player manually for each track? To be more precise, you have to load a GM soundfont file into the soundfont player. Do you mean in ardour, right? So the soundfont player is Calf fluidsynth plugin, I assume. A quicker way: In the mixer w...

To put it simply, Calf fluidsynth and qsynth are sf2 players and they expect you load at least one soundfont file into them. If said soundfont is a GM, such as FluidR3_GM.sf2 (which you have installed via fluid-sound-gm package), you will get the desired GM player with both Calf fluidsynth and qsynt...

I have just installed fluid-soundfont-gm and fluid-soundfont-gs, but there's no /usr/share/sounds/sf2/ on my computer Did you double-check? /usr/share has a lot of subdirectories, you might have missed it. Just to make sure, to see the files a particular package installs in your system you can use ...

This is involved, I can't help with the random numbering more than the link I gave. Maybe you need a udev rule or something. I strongly recommend you call the cards by its short name. hw:Generic only has one HDMI device. hw:Generic_1 has a playback device, probably duplex (check arecord -l). So, use...

From the log, I can't see any problem. Although I agree that 64 frames/period is unnecessarily low and risky, Jack seems to start correctly. In the connection manager the Scarlett is called "system". A quick test is playing some music from Audacious with the jack audio output (Archivo, Pre...

To solve the problem caused by the random card numbering each time you reboot the computer, either you call the audio interface by its short name (the names between square brackets in the output of "cat /proc/asound/cards" that you can also see just after the colon in the output of "a...

Check the input devices arecord -l and the output devices aplay -l If the Zoom H4n doesn't have a duplex capable device (i.e., one that appears in both lists of capture and playback devices), then you have to check "Duplex mode" in Cadence's Jack Settings, alsa driver configuration so you ...

Is Audacity considered sub-standard? Audacity is a nice audio editor, but for multitrack recording and quick non-destructive editing I suggest ardour. On the other hand, although standard ubuntu might work, it is not a good choice for a home studio. There are music oriented distros, ubuntustudio fo...

First of all, check that you have selected the right audio card in Cadence, System tab, configure button, driver tab, ALSA driver. Output device has to be set to your USB audio interface, not to the onboard one which is normally the default option. Note that this configuration (jack configuration, t...

Hi josie, It seems that you haven't added a channel. It should appear in qsampler's main panel. Edit -> Add channel This is where you load the instrument and configure the MIDI input and audio output. You can also use Jack MIDI for MIDI input so you can connect jack-midi keyboard directly to linuxsa...

(connections in JACK are ok, but my coputer just somehow decided to start using internal mic instead of my USB soundcard, imagine that audio feedback :( ) Yes, this is is frustrating. You should refer to cards by name, not by number, in jack's configuration. Card numbers sometimes change when you r...

There IS sound for me, with this clarinet SFZ (thanks to j_e_f_f_g):

Maybe your SFZ instrument expects notes in a different note range?

I see similar messages in qsampler log.

It works for me with "xhci"
RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="xhci"

Go figure (or ask Rui)
