It's more likely that I do... I'm not sure I understand what you mean
by "recording". If you mean "press that red button in RG and start
playing", then well, yes, I do that in RG, and everything's fine
(usually). But after all the tracks are done (recorded), I'd like to
record (maybe this is wrong terminology; let's say "save") the
resulting audio as, say, a wav file, that one can listen to without
RG, hydrogen and all the synths being around. It's this that I have
problem with if there are more than one synths that are producing the
sounds for the tracks.
Does jack transport help in this second step?

I think you should just look for audio export in rosegarden. It should
be able to do it and rosegarden has rather good documentation available.
I'm guessing that audio export is available if one has audio (as
opposed to midi) tracks in RG. Is that correct? Or is there an audio
export option somewhere deep in the menu-structure of RG?
If you already recorded everything into
rosegarden (the audio out of
hydrogen, the audio out of qsynth, ...) then you shouldn't need another
app to get that into a wav file.
This is yet another sense of "record", I'm afraid. I didn't record
_into_ RG; I recorded _with_ RG (in the "push that red button and
play" sense). I don't think RG has any audio data at this point
(though I may be wrong), it just drives qsynth and hydrogen. (I did
connect qsynth's and hydrogen's outputs to RG's input, but that
doesn't seem to make any difference.)
I think I read something today indicating that you could record RGs master
outs back into an audio track in RG and then get at that wav somehow.
Jack transport is for simultaneous
playback/recording of different
apps. You press one button and all jack transport enabled apps start to
roll.
Cute!
Thanks,
