I am a very newbie with the ubuntu studio, although I use kubuntu many years by now as a simple user. I play guitar and I want to record my playing for sending it for an audition at a jazz university! So, due to financial restrictions, I have just bought the T.BONE USB-1G from Thomman. <a href="http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_usb1g.htm?sid=a939dfae3529d54ead5d2523ae73a789" target="_blank">http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_usb1g.htm?sid=a939dfae3529d54ead5d2523ae73a789</a> However, I need your help to make it work, i.e record my guitar through any programme, like Ardour which I am trying to learn currently! Please, could someone guide me through the steps that I need to go, in order to be able to record my guitar? The only thing that I know to do is run on the konsole "lsusb" where I take : alex@alex-ubuntu:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0d8c:0008 C-Media Electronics, Inc. Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub alex@alex-ubuntu:~$ where C-media Electronics is the TBone usb (I suggest!) So, what do I have to do in order to be able to record through Ardour? Should I be able to see the usb device on QJack Connections manager? Thank you all in advance, all help is valuable!
