I just downloaded and installed Ardour - it seems like a really good music processing program, meant to be a little like cubase? or so I was told anyway.
Anyway - it has installed fine - trouble is when I click on the icon to get it going it comes up with a box that says -
JACK cannot be dedected
so I checked in YAST to see if I have something called JACK - and I seem to have it, so why is Ardour not starting?
This is odd......how am I meant to create crazy techno music at this rate?
You need to have the JACK daemon running before Ardour can start.
You can start it with a command like this, assuming you're using ALSA sound drivers:
jackd -d alsa &
If you want a GUI for managing JACK, you can install qjackctl.
I see, does the gui for JACK make it easier to start? - I would just open that then ardour would run?
Also, what is your opinion of ardour - is it any good? I used to use Cubase on windows and was looking for something simmilar.
Okay, actually I donwloaded the GUI for JACK and seemed to get it running, now Ican open ardour, but it says that there is no support for direct sound and then once open says cannot connect to JACK, any ideas?
