In case of a problem, do not panic! Ardour Manual is usually a good place to start. That's it, you are ready for recording music! Select ALSA sequencer as MIDI System, then click Start: If your devices were used by JACK, stop it first. When using ALSA, Ardour will take exclusive control of your sound card, providing better performance but forbidding sharing it with other applications. That's it, you are ready for podcasting! For the musician: Using ALSA In case of problem, check on JACK graph window that your controller is correctly connected to Ardour: If you do not see your device in the list, try to refresh it by selecting another Device Type, switching back and forth. Next select your controller for Surface sends via and Surface receives via. Select the appropriate Device Type (usually Mackie Control will do it).Enable the Mackie checkbox (or Generic MIDI if your Controller is not Mackie compatible) and click on Show protocol settings:.Then go to menu Edit > Preferences then Control Surfaces:.Note: If you were not asked this when launching Ardour or if you need to change some parameter, you may do it later by going to menu Window > Audio/MIDI Setup.
If for any reason you ever want to launch it yourself, simply run (after JACK server is started): When you start JACK, it will launch JACK MIDI daemon for ALSA MIDI which will make the MIDI device available for JACK. If you use QJackCtl, go to Setup, select seq for MIDI Driver:.

You can have a look at this post: “ How to record a Podcast with remote guests on Linux”. If you are recording a podcast and you need to record and broadcast at the same time, then you probably need JACK. On the other hand, using JACK or ALSA is entirely up to you and it probably depends on what you are doing.īasically, if you are recording music and want the best sound quality and the lowest latency, you should probably use ALSA. If your controller is compatible I highly recommend that you use Mackie mode as it is much easier (mapping is already correctly configured, LEDs will lit as you expect them to…). Not all controllers are Mackie compatible so this is not a real choice.
