Hi and thanks for your help, it was more than useful
I came up with this solution as it is a non Linux geek which shall start
and stop the record-process
>SCRIPT<<
#!/bin/sh
#script for using a graphical dialog to jack_capture
cd /home/sem/liverecording
while true
do
Xdialog --stdout --yesno "PRESS YES TO START REC" 10 40
case "$?" in
0)
jack_capture -c 16 -p system:capture* | Xdialog --stdout --msgbox " RECORDING IN
PROGRESS\n PRESS OK TO STOP REC " 10 40
;;
1)
Xdialog --msgbox "Ok no recording started" 10 40
;;
esac
done
<<SCRIPT>>
I then made two icons on the desktop, one to start the script and one to kill it by
killing jackd.
I admit it's not that pretty, but it works and I hope it'll do the job saturday.
Thanks again

Hey
What would you bee using if you should record a large music file in
let's say 14-16 tracks ? Next month my band have a live-gig I want to
record, and I am on the brink of letting my old and heavy ADAT tape
machines be left back, and only bring my notebook and my multiface amd
my mic-preamps for recording.
jack_capture:
jack_capture --port system:capture*
Or if you only want to record the 14 first inputs:
jack_capture -c 14 --port system:capture*
Is it stable and secure to record in Ardour in
one go ? I could raise
latency since we're not using any kind of live monitoring from the
computer.
Ardour is probably stable and secure enough, but
jack_capture is made only for recording so the
chance of unwanted surprises with jack_capture
might be theoretically smaller. No, seriously,
both of them should work fine, but jack_capture
is simpler to use.
