Hi there.
I’ve just built a Linux comp running Elementary OS 6.1 Jolnir and I’ve got a new Behringer X32 rack and I’m running Ardour, also ‘new’. I can drop loops in and I have just recorded from the main outs of the X32 but I just can’t seem to find where to choose say inputs 1+2 (the TR8s) on the mixer. I’ve been into ‘audio/midi setup’ and ‘audio connections’ and I just can’t find anywhere that offers me the hardware inputs on the X32 despite is saying ‘xUSB’ in the AMS pane. In the Audio Connections manager all I see is main in 1 and main in 2. On the X32 I can add channels to the USB card and they will then show up in Ardour, main 3 etc, and although I haven’t tested it I’m assuming I can route audio in the X32 to these card channels and it will then be recorded in Ardour. Is this how it should be? When I was running Cubase on the Mac, Cubase addressed the inputs on my interface directly without having to do an extra step of sending audio to special ports or whatever. I expected to hit ‘shift +e’ then in that left pane there would be a drop down list of inputs and I just choose the right one.
If someone could clarify the architecture for me and point out where I have gone wrong, that would be great.
Thanks.
