What other apps and distros do you use to round out your studio?

Starting jack in terminal, Cadence does not "see" it

Post by mmaceachran »

I can start my jack in a terminal like this:

Code: Select all

jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:U192k -r92000 -p512
But when I launch Cadence, it does not see that Jack is started. QJackctl sees it. I really want Catia to work, but does not see that jack is started either. If I start jack from Cadence then everything works fine.

I am trying to script startup and I need the command line to work.

Cadence use jackdbus, not jackd.
The usual command to start jackdbus from terminal is

Code: Select all

jack_control start
But I must admit that I didn't use jackdbus, so I may be wrong with jack_control.
On the road again.

Could you use Patchage instead of Catia?

I suspect you have jackd installed if Cadence cannot see it

if jackd is replaced with jack2 the same start command should work - /usr/bin/jackd
but if jackd was replaced with jack-dbus may need to adjust start command to - /usr/bin/jackdbus
