Trouble with setting up Jack

[Carla]

Yeah I was playing a bit with Hydrogen last night and I know I have used programs like it in windows way back in the past. Don't remember the names. I lost a lot of stuff due to computer problems that went on forever with the OS (windows) or whatever infection being at fault probably. Oh and software conflicts. Ah so I can add files....mmmmm didn't know that ok. Thanks!
So I can use my KB like a piano is that what your saying? Wow sounds good. Would like to try that.
Yeah ardour and audacity are what I have been mostly looking at. I dabbled with audacity quite a bit. Just some simple editing and converting files like wav to mp3. I understand ardour is like protools but because I haven't got sound I can't give it a good go yet.
Thanks for the explanation about jackrack....that would be a good edition especially if it has a vocador...or however you spell that word. Nice old school effect for the voice.
Qjackctl-is that just like Jack?
Gee i can't download any os's as I have a very low internet usage. Damn australia...backwards country. I do have dynebolic that someone also downloaded for me but gee I have asked too many favours to get what I have. Is it really that unstable. Ekkkk I would have to find new friends to get another os. It is just that here in Australia we are all restricted by small usage limits. Sending for an OS on dvd is also not an option for me as I am broke(pension) and struggling badly.

Zynaddsubfx (a modular synthesizer) has some interesting soundbanks, and you can change the sound like you want! Use the virtual keyboard (button VKB) to play the sounds with your keyboard.
 To do multiple tracks use ardour or audacity (the last is less convinient 'cose you don't have a mixer to manage your different tracks, but maybe easier to use at the beginnig ;).
With Jackrack you can play FX on your voice or whatever you want in realtime (the latency depending on your system and soundcard).
 Qjackctl is a soundserver allowing you to connect the inputs/outputs of your soundcard (as well as the ones of your audio softwares) in any ways you want it to work. It synchronizes all that.
Follow the tutorial to make qjackctl work. I have only one bad new : under 8.04 ubuntu studio Jack is realllllly not stable... I just moved to Studio64 (and it works well) : try both!!!

 OK I have 8.04 Ubuntu studio. I have soundonboard which is AC '97 and a Intel 1.8gig cpu, 512mhz rambus. Um how much more details? I can get a full report as I have a program on the windows drive that does that. I will be getting a proper soundcard at some point. I want to be able to make music with linux but I don't know what all these programs do yet. I used to use loops a lot but want to get more into making my own beats. I will use whatever program to record vocals and use effects on them. I make Hip Hop basically.

 Hi!

You have to give some details on the distribution you work with, your soundcard and your hardware, and what do u want exactly???

  Hi I have Ubuntustudio installed and previously had some of the audio production stuff on Ubuntu 6.10 and Debian. I have never been able to get Jack happening therefore have not started any type of production because i have no sound. I would appreciate someone that just doesn't send me a link as I have read all the help pages. I don't understand them. I have been battling for months and have a background in audio using a studio(Mac and protools). I have also used a lot of programs in windows for years like acid pro, free pro tools, Ejay(Hip Hop), Cool Edit etc. I have also noticed that there are a lot of apps in this distro that have the name Jack so I have no idea which is which.
