Hello Michael, 
I have nit followed the whole thread, so sorry if I misunderstood
something...
Jack is indeed something like a universal patchbay in
Linux-audiosystems: 
According to Your screenshot it seems that You have NOT connected the
Inputs and outputs. There should be lines between capture_x on the
left- and ardour_input on the right side as well as ardour_master or
Ardour_bus -or whatever You want to use as output- on the left to
playback_y on the right, indicating that they are connected. 
You have to connect a virtual mixer and recording machine as well as
their hardware equivalents!

Hope it may help

Peter

Re: Recording with M-Audio Delta 66

2009-09-21 Thread Sergio Bello
I own only passive pickups guitars (Fender, Gibson, S.D. Curlee  Manne,
the last being passive but with a relatively high output) and a
DI/Preamp is a must. I can hear some signal, but the signal/noise ratio
is devastating...

About the ultragain, you can read on the behringer site:
Ensures outstanding signal transparency when used as a high-end
DI-box.
From what I read on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DI_unit) the
MIC200 falls in the 'active DI boxes' category. But, I'm not a recording
expert, I just collect guitars ;)

 Ardour? I know that I have to use Jack and this is running, but to
 tell the truth: I cannot really see the point in how to connect the
 signal to a track in Ardour. I created a track in Ardour called
 Bass, but no matter what I connected, I could not even get a in
 signal in the mixer of Ardour - so the next steps would be:
 
 1. Get the signal into the Bass track of Ardour
 2. Connect the Outputs of the Bass track of Ardour to the Output 1  
 of the Break-Out-Box.
 


You want to open qjackctl and click on 'connections'

Then you need to make sure you have the following (select one from the
left and one from the right and then 'connect' or 'disconnect' to get
it right)

Delta66 Input 2 (check name)  Ardour Track1 In (Bass)
Ardour Track1 Out (Bass)   Aurdour Master In
Ardour Master Out - Delta66 Output1


You could as you stated connect the output of the track straight to the
sound card output, but if you end up multi-tracking then you will
benefit from having a mixed output you can control from ardour's mixer
and automation.



Also,

If you have multiple sound cards active in your setup, make sure that
jack is using the correct sound cards for its inputs and outputs.

Ah, I see. I was actually looking at this page when I checked it out:

http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-MIC200-Tube-Ultra-Gain-Preamp?sku=182491src=3WWRWXGBZYXSEM=0

Which expressly has the word 'Pre-Amp' in the title of the item. But it  
does seem to be built more like a DI, now that I look through the features,  
so there you go. :)
