Still working on getting ardour to play back, but if worst comes to worst I can just export the wav and play it through VLC :) -- rbmj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I have not used jack much or ardour at all, but qjackctl has helped me with a few little audio tricks I have done. Perhaps it will help you. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
