Thanks, that seems like a good workaround, although it's not quite the

the recording.

I have a medium-sized Ardour session with a
couple of plugins on
most tracks, in which I'd like to record some additional tracks.
Due to the number of tracks and plugins, it's not possible to run
Ardour/JACK at very low latencies.
The same machine (and the same sound cards) is also used for
monitoring for the whole band, using a huge instance of JackMix.
This needs to be run with as little latency as possible (128
frames per period, tops).
How can I solve this dilemma? Ardour's latency doesn't really
matter to me, as long as newly recorded regions are properly
aligned with existing material.
Bounce a temporary mix of your already recorded tracks and
temporarily inactivate those tracks (Track menu or right-click menu
on the strip) to make room for the new ones. Use the bounce as the
only track playing and active while you record the rest. Maybe this
will save enough horsepower so that your system deals with the load.
At mix time, relax the latency constraint and reactivate all the
tracks.
