JACK gives the user an environment where a pro audio workflow can happen. JACK might be overkill for your purposes though. what would i suggest? try ubuntustudio live, and see how JACK works for you... i personally think you would be better off with lubuntu (which doesnt ship with pulse) and just add the applications you use (such as audacity). if you are using something like audacity to record and edit a podcast, then ubuntustudio is certainly capable, but arguably overkill. something like lubuntu would not have the unnecessary overhead of running a large desktop environment, as well as pulse audio, when you dont need either. lubuntu could also be tried via live CD. > > > -- > jack wallen, jr <--- lover of entropy > > Writer of the I Zombie, Fringe Killer, Shero, and Screampark series as > well as the upcoming The Book of Jacob Series. > Learn more @ www.monkeypantz.net > > > -- > Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > -- MH mikeholstein.info <http://www.mikeholstein.info/>
