I hope you can suffer me a few questions. I have a minidisc with some stereo recordings I have made, using a couple mics. I tried recording one of the discs to ardour tonight and I think I made an error in judgement by using two tracks. Now I'm thinking I should have just used one track with two inputs, n'est pas? I looked at the new manual but it stops short yet of some key info. Looking forward to seeing that completed. Mixing the two tracks together so I can burn a stereo cd is beyond my knowledge of the program now. I would like to preserve the stereo, though it isn't all that important. And it would be easy enough to re-record the disk. It is in real time.. analog.. so takes awhile. Don't know how else to do that. So is it easy to mix the tracks so I can burn a cd with stereo? Or easier just to re-record? It looks like I could just open one track and have two inputs for it. That would record my stereo track? However, when I look in the /sounds directory, it seems there's a bunch of ..wav's in there. Yeee, lots to learn. Which is which? Next question: I had a Xrun after maybe 25-30 minutes into the recording. That isn't the end of the world as I can just cut off the last tune and record again from there. But nobody wants xruns and it would be nice to just let it record and not have to keep checking to see if it stopped from an xrun.. which is what happened. I had jack running from qjackctl and had the default 1024 I believe. I don't really understand these numbers but I think another default was like 4 on the periods? I think I read if you bump up to 2048 maybe you won't get xruns? Another problem: I made a selection on the track, right clicked and hit 'remove', and ardour crashed. I've done this a couple times.. repeatable. I've also right-clicked/edit/cut and it crashes. It says something about a segmentation fault. I'm not saying I have my gentoo install perfectly configured by any stretch.. so it could be my system. Another problem: when starting ardour, I get two warning messages: "two keys bound to mod 1" and "two keys bound to mod 4". Mod1 = Alt_l and Alt_r, and Mod4= Super_l and Super_r. I've poked around and don't know how or where to correct this. I was running in fluxbox to try and keep overhead down. Should I kill syslogd and klogd during a session? Any other things? More than enough for now. I would appreciate any thoughts. Maybe a good book or online resources? cheers, Jim Delta 66 card Abit IS-7 motherbd Intel 2.8Ghz HT 1GB Ram WD 80GB 8MB cache hard drive on Sata channel Gentoo, 2.6.0-test9-gentoo-r1 kernel Ardour .9.beta8 (I think) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
