hi folks!
My first day here and first day using Ardour.
I’m newbie in recording stuff. I play guitar and wanna try to record some stuff I play alone or with my band on rehearsal.
I have basic knowledge of linux OS
problem:
unable to listen track input while recording/playing.
software:
Ubuntu 8.10, ardour 2.5 (built from revision 3525),
JACK Audio Connection Kit - Qt GUI Interface Version: 0.3.2, jack 0.109.2-3ubuntu1
hardware: i386, m-audio jamlab usb audio interface(one input, one headphone output).
I have JACK configured with usb device as interface, input and output (well, there are two usb devices on the list - hw:1,0 USB Audio & hw:1 JamLab - I use the second one but first one works as well). Other settings as follows(only modified - the rest default):
- Frames/period=128
- monitor=true
that’s it. server starts, runs with a lot of :
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
16:36:11.195 XRUN callback (8 skipped).
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
16:36:11.779 XRUN callback (500).
**** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 1228472852676.608 msecs
in the JACK’s gui log (but this is not the issue).
So having Jack running I start the Ardour, make new mono track and enable recording button on it. Now I can see in level-monitor for single track as well as the master’s level-monitor that the signal comes in while playing my guitar. but I don’t hear anything ;( . If I press record, signal get recorded. Still not hearing anything… Finally, If I start playing recorded stuff I CAN HEAR IT!
Does anybody knows what could be the reason that I don’t hear any signal before?
Best Regards
