Thanks for that information, falkTX. It does help knowing.

I just got a fresh bare bones install of xubuntu 14.04 loaded. I then took the code supplied here http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Repositories#Ubuntu . My question now, having looked at the repositories list (Other Software Tab) in Synaptic, I notice there is a lot of PPAs for Ubuntu Lucid beside Ub...

Thanks sysrqer, You saved my day by the suggestion of using the terminal to track what was really going on. Somehow the config file: /home/usr/.config/ardour3/ardour.rc was corrupt and unable to be read. I then went to the software center, removed ardour3, then went to the file system and removed th...

Phase next!!
I tried to run ardour3 using the boot disk rather than using the loaded KXStudio OS on a HDD. That works, and I could run and record with ardour 3 through that method.

Makes no sense to me!!

Hi folks, I just did a fresh install of KXStudio 14.04b 64 bit, which worked fine. I am trying to run ardour3 for recording through a Scarlett 18i20 interface. This stuff all works if booted to UbuntuStudio 12.04, (on a different HDD) but there seems a problem. Ardour 3 fails to open. My process: 1....

Thanks Pablo, I am now one step farther along. I think Ardour is vary unstable as it crashes a lot while trying to write midi from the piano roll input. It seems to sort of work other than the crashing though. I have gotten the soundfonts working now at least. Again, thanks to all who help with my i...

First of all, thanks for taking the time to look at these issues for me. I find it all difficult but... I have spent many hours today attempting to get the soundfont files to interact with the midi piano roll function in Ardour. I have had minimal luck thus far. I went through the tutorial suggested...

Thanks for the clarification about this stuff. I am sorry I've been slow at getting back. This road of linux DAW is difficult due to mostly to the use of language (spoken and written) or so I think. I only understand about a quarter of what is said here. Being dyslexic has many drawbacks, it is a fi...

So I am back to this today. I can't seem to get the soundfonts downloaded from http://www.bandshed.net/sounds/ to work with ZynAddSubFX. I guess that synth doesn't use the file type I downloaded (type .sfz). It is either that or I totally don't understand a thing about what I am attempting to do. I ...

I have run into the grub issue in the past. Make a live.iso CD-R disk of boot repair file you found. Use the same method you used to create the live ubuntu12.04.3.iso disk. Then boot to it to fix your grub issue. It is a simple program to run. That will get your grub issue fixed. Save that disk for ...

Hi, I got a scarlett 18i20 last month also. It works for me. It took two things for me to get it working. I had to realize that the unit had to be turned on before opening Jack. I also had to adjust the jack setting from the stock PC sound card to the correct input and output device. It sounds as th...

We'll have to see how it goes.

Carla didn't load when I installed KXStudio, ??? I don't know why, nor does it matter. I have it now. I wonder why the package manager installed wine along with Carla, that doesn't really matter either. It may invite my trying out reaper sometime! For now I am having enough of a time learning to use...

Varpa, Thanks so much for the assist here on this topic. It shall take me a while to gain the fundamentals of this build your self style of a DAW. The language with all its acronyms (which are meaningless ie, your use of SSD which to me means Social Security Disability) is very hard to deal with. Ye...
