Jamin is not the right tool for playing live through
it. It has a builtin
delay of >10ms which adds to jackd's latency. Use jack-rack for the effects
you want.
Thanks for the hint; I was just using it for testing.
1) There is an electrical difference between mic- and
line-inputs/-signals. It
is _no_ wonder it sounds strange and distorted. You have to use a line-input
or even better an instrument input. And the SBLive has line-ins as well and
they are usable with jack.
So running jackd with default ALSA backend settings (i.e. hw:0) just
provides the Mic in as capture ports?
And with a LiveDrive you get even more...
What's that?
The best bet is to use some external (guitar-)effect
that has instrument-in
and line-out and connect that line-out to the line-in of the soundcard.
Can't I use a software noise gate or other software filters?
What's a piece of hardware got that I can't do with software?
And if you use hw:0,3 for playback and hw:0,2 for
record in jack you get 16
ins and outs and you only have to find the right ones (with meterbridge for
example).
Why are there 16?
And is there a way, read program, to show all available ALSA devices?
Thanks a lot so far!
