I have begun work on the serious part of testing DAW software on Linux. Yesterday I exported each track from a demanding mix into seperate .wav files so that they could be imported into Ardour. It looks something like this:
and this, for the curious, is what the mixer looks like:
As you can see I haven't got busy adding plugins just yet, but there is a very good reason for this. Simply put, I can get a single noise out of Ardour. Despite managing to get Ubuntu's different media player software to dispense sound out of my speakers, so far Ardour is simply not playing ball. Initially I had a problem that Ardour would only let me have around 11 tracks at once. I got around this by doing something with the 'JACK' application. I do not have a clue what it was that I did, however today I managed to import all 24 tracks without any technical hassle.
Sadly, where as on my Eeepc Ardour got quick and happy with the audio outputs, my Soundblaster (Audigy 2 ZS Platinum) seems to have it confused. The auto-connect is not working, and manually telling Ardour to talk to system playback 1 & 2 doesn't do the trick either!
I shall push on and try to figure out what is going on to ensure that this side of the project isn't a let down. If anyone has got any pointers or ideas, please add in your two cents worth. I have pratted about with Ardour, the 'Sound' settings in preferences and also the volume control.
