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
I haven't had much chance to continue with this setup since then.
Today I'm trying to monitor a hardware synth going through a LADSPA
echo effect, set in Ardour. The echo would be used in such a way as an
integral part of the playing, and not jut as a cosmetic add-on. Is it
possible to monitor the output of the Ardour synth track + the LADSPA
delay which is patched after Ardour's volume control for that track (I
also tried patched before it) ? Ardour shows that there is signal
coming in. Sounds go out only in playback mode.
Is it possible to monitor it w/o Ardour actively recording and with
Ardour recording ? I have connected the track's L+R output to playback
3 and 4 using QJackCtl, but the envy24 VUs are not showing any signal.
Hmmmm... I reckon that it might be not so easy to picture the setup.
envy24 patchbay digital mix for both
envy24 monitor inputs 7+8 are hardware synth inputs, signal is shown,
audio is heard.
envy24 monitor PCMs are all very quiet, nothing.
Ardour's track gets capture 7 and 8. LADSPA echo is added pre or
post. Signal is shown in Ardour. No audio heard. After recording, at
playback, audio is heard, shown on envy24 monitor PCM 1 and 2.
How can the signal with the echo added be heard w/o recording ?
Any hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
