Re: [LAU] ecasound + jack

Hi Mark! Your ecasound seems to be without jack_support. What I do (and I only use ecasound WITH JACK) 1. start jack 2. start ecasound like this: ecasound -B:rtlowlatency -b 64 -r 30 -c -a:1 -i jack -o some.wav 3. Launch engine: ecasound> engine-launch 4. change console and use jack_connect: jack_connect alsa_pcm:capture_1 ecasound:in_1 jack_connect alsa_pcm:capture_2 ecasound:in_2 5. start recording: ecasound> t Note: The options upto and include -r are some realtime options very handsome to have. What I mostly find much more useful is: ecasound [realtime options] -c -a;1 -i jack -o some.wav -a:2 -i null -pn:metronome,120 -a:2 -o jack_alsa Note: I use the seperate -a:2 -o jack_alsa because I would end up like this: ecasound [realtime options] -c -a:1 -i jack -o sometrack.wav -a:2 -i null -pn:metronome,120 -a:3 -i monitor.wav -a:4 -i other_track.wav ... -a:2,3,4,... -o jack_alsa Additional note: I like the clicktrack ladspa-plugin much more than ecasound's metronome effect-preset (-pn = preset-name) So youcould do: cd /usr/local/share/ecasound (or whereever) vim effect_presets [add the following] met = -eli:1769,%1,0.6,0.5 -ppn:bpm \ -ppl:44 -ppd:120 -ppu:244 -pd:click_track Now you can use (instead of -pn:metronome,120): -pn:met,120 If there's more, e.g. editing/fx-processing, just ask.
