I'm not sure I can answer... running in ubuntu-land these days. The

alsamixer.. but as you say harder
Yes hardware is best. Using envy24control or
mudita24, go to the
patchbay tab and select "Digital Mix L" and "Digital Mix R" as your
output to 1and 2 outputs. Then on the first tab "Monitor Inputs"
unmute the track(s) you are using for mic in and set the levels where
you want. Then goto the next tab "Monitor PCMs" and set the levels of
the audio coming from the Ardour tracks you already have. That will
setup your monitor mix. The ardour inputs will see the levels set by
the analog volume controls
Thanks, this seems quite useful. 'Seems' because there's no
envy24control nor mudita24 on the system and, doing a 'yum list' does
not return any package with 'envy' or 'mudi'. The repo directoy
in /etc/yum.repos.d/ has livna, fedora and ccrma.
The system has alsamixer and it was possible to assign HW and HW/1 to
In0 and In1, but that's about it so far. I'd rather try with
envy24control. Is the package containing this utility bears the same
name ? Would you recommend envy24 or mudita24 - any significant
difference between the two ?
If you atre using h/w and h/w 1, you want to set them to "Digital". Then
you would set Mutli left to full and multi 1 to right full (these are
ardours ourputs). Then hit F4 to go to capture. go over to H/W Multi and
set the level where you want to monitor the input. (this assumes one mic
in input one) Using F5 (all) seems like a nice answer, but ends up
confusing things in this case.
Ya, envy24control is lots easier. I've been looking at QASmixer also,
still painful but nicer than alsamixer.
