BTW, I have tried several sample rates, buffer sizes and periods, including the default values. None worked.
And to be absolutely clear, this is on vanilla Ubuntu Studio 20.04, installing Ardour 6 from Ardour.org and both trying the Scarlett and the UMC404HD? The next thing to double-check is that you are record-arming and making sure that the input is correct in the mixer strip (not that I had to select anything new when I tried on the laptop/404HD)
The screenshot above is NOT from vanilla Ubuntu Studio 20.04. However, when I did use vanilla Ubuntu Studio 20.04 with Ardour 6 installed from Ardour.org, I saw exactly the same thing. I know that the input is correct; if the Scarlett is not there, I don’t see the input. I did not record-enable. I just plugged an electric guitar into the Scarlett, turned up the gain on the Scarlett so that I saw a response, then looked at the track in Ardour 6. In Ardour 5.12 I saw a response. Is that different in Ardour 6? I will give it a try and see what I get.
I just record-enabled the track and tested it - I did get a response. This is different between Ardour 5 and 6. I have always checked my response in Ardour 5 without the need to record enable. I did not see anywhere in the changes to Ardour 6 (and I did read them), that this was different. For me, this topic can be closed. The problem was my lack of knowledge about how this version of Ardour acts.
Hurrah! Glad it is working for you…In 5.12 you must have had auto-input enabled in the session properties? That would automatically monitor live input on transport stop even without recording armed: https://manual.ardour.org/appendix/monitor-modes/
It’s probably some setting you changed in 5.12 and that is as default in Ardour 6. I’m glad you got this sorted out
Thank you @anon60445789 and @mhartzel for your patience, help and guidance. I was going crazy trying to figure out why Ardour 5 worked and Ardour 6 did not. I’m glad you kept providing suggestions so that I could get it working (and I learned something about Ardour in the process). I’m looking forward to recording with 6.
