Problem compiling SooperLooper
Hi All, I'm trying to compile SooperLooper 1.6.10 on Ubuntu (Hardy) and I'm having some problem with jack. I'm getting lots of errors like: /sooperlooper-1.6.10/src/jack_audio_driver.cpp:329: undefined reference to `jack_port_get_buffer' Basically lots of 'undefined references' to jack things. I have jack and the libjack-dev package installed so I'm a bit stuck on what could be the problem. Any help is appreciated.

Re: JACK almost working
2008/7/12 Carla [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Gosh it is confusing as to where i type. I have never typed at the bottom of emails before. Ok well I get really no where with Jack. I have read every tutorial in site but I don't really understand where to go with it at all. I am not plugging in any external devices except a microphone sometimes so do i really need Jack? I used to have audacity on my notebook and happily used it but then someone told me about Jack and it has been a pain from then on. I am still pretty new to Linux so I would like to be able to do something simple before I get complicated. I doubt with my lack of funds will ever get any more sophisticated in my setup. Carla(Thanks) Hello again Carla, If you're happy using Audacity on its own then there's no real reason for you to use jack. Jack does have lots of benefits of course, especially if you want to do more complex things, using soft synths, richer editing and multitracking with Ardour, live effects on guitars or vocals, and there's other things too. It's still not clear where you're stuck with jack, so it's hard to tell you what you need to do to fix it. It sounds like you're not really sure about the general idea of it though so I'll do my best to explain that. Essentially Jack allows you to take any audio output, this can be your soundcard (i.e your microphone), a software synthesizer, a recording your've made in audacity or another program, anything at all, and put that into any input, like another rcording program, an effects program (like JackRack) or your soundcard again (your speakers). You can take one output and put it to multiple inputs or multiple outputs into one input, it's very flexible. It seems redundant for me to explain the whole interface, but the important part, the connections window, is explained a href=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToQjackCtlConnections;here/a. Although this is a bit old and the connections window now uses the 'ALSA' tab to control midi conections with the 'midi' tab becoming somewhat mysterious, I haven't worked out myself what it does now. I hope this makes things more clear, and please let us know how you get on or if you want more help.

You're a lifesaver. Will definitely give a lighter WM a go. I used to us xubuntu a while ago, so maybe I'll start using XFCE for my recording account. Thanks for the suggestion. What's your site/blog/whatever. I'd like to link to you so people can see the real brains behind my success here :P Again you're welcome, though it's not really my wisdom. Like I said I got stuck on this problem earlier in the year and a kind soul on the ubuntu-studio irc channel helped me out. If you're interested I do post some of the music I make on http://adam-a.co.uk. (Waves at Cory. Hi :D) Also, there is no need to be rude to Cory after he makes a polite and reasonable request about how to post on the mailing list. He puts a lot of work into Ubuntu Studio from which we all benefit.

Re: JACK almost working
I thought jack did support two soundcards, as long as they're not both trying to record or play. In qjackctl settings you can pick a seperate soundcard for input and output, I do this and use my laptop's onboard for playback and an external usb for recording at the same time. Joe 2008/7/2 Norio De Sousa [EMAIL PROTECTED]: FINALLY figured it all out. My problem is simply that jackd can only support one soundcard at a time. So I can either record OR play audio. Not both, so definitely no monitoring of what I'm recording until I figure something out. The positive behind all this is that I can easily replicate jackd settings that work for recording from my guitar, which is super. I was beginning to wonder if the SoundTech LightSnake cable I bought was working at all! *Anyhoo... *Alsa supports running 2 cards as 1 virtual card. That should work for recording on the 1 and listening to the output on the other. But I just can't seem to get my .asoundrc file right.
