Glad I could help, I remember being stuck on this problem myself. As for xruns, i get quite a few, about 1 a minute, it was better before 8.04 but i've not been able to get my setup back to it's old performance. I should probably get in the habit of not using gnome when i'm doing music, the difference when using something like fluxbox can be quite dramatic.</blockquote>
<div><br>Hey Joe :)<br>
<br>
Glad to report that I'm one happy Jack camper! Can't believe that something so simple eluded me for so long. Ridiculous! You're a lifesaver. <br><br>Will definitely give a lighter WM a go. I used to us xubuntu a while ago, so maybe I'll start using XFCE for my recording account. Thanks for the suggestion. What's your site/blog/whatever. I'd like to link to you so people can see the real brains behind my success here :P<br>
<br>I'll be posting this on <a href="http://www.norio.co.za">www.norio.co.za</a> and
<a href="http://www.guitarforum.co.za">www.guitarforum.co.za</a> (where I have a thread going on recording guitar
in Linux as affordable as possible). I'm hoping to, like you, save
people from the same hassles I went through to get something recorded!
There's so much genius out there (currently stuck on Windows) that, if we can just help them out a little, the
Linux music scene can grow exponentially!<br>
<br>
By the way, Jack-Rack with Caps LADSPA plugins is pretty darned
awesome! They simulate, for example, Bassman '59s and so on. And it
actually has a pretty cool valve-y sound. I'm uber impressed. Just wish I understood how it works so I could code something up (say something along the lines of a Mesa Boogie :D) but, alas, I don't think my PHP skillz will cut it ;)<br>

How far have you gotten and what happens when you try to run jack? I'm no expert but I'm sure someone can help you out. </blockquote>
<div><br></div></div>Yup, Carla, let us know. Let's see if we can help. Jack can be quite a pain in the butt till you understand how it all fits together and stuff. Then it's child's play, really.<br><br>(Waves at Cory. Hi :D)<br>
