I'm stuck with some JACK problems, currently researching. What I want to do is capture my improvs on the other laptop, then move the files to the internet one and have Reaper installed and working to prepare the tracks for use. I have installed the Linux Reaper on AVLinux and all I can report is that it opens and plays, haven't really used it much. "Music Production", heh, all I do is run the Windows looper Mobius standalone via WINE, I capture my improvs that way. I have an internet laptop with Manjaro and just started using a music production laptop with AVLinux. I just found a bunch of threads, searching because having trouble with it. For discussions here on JACK, do a search for "qjackctl". If you work with sound on Linux, Carla is a program you definitely will not want to miss.ĮDIT 2: Whoa, KXStudio has a lot of other applications that seem to make managing JACK much easier. In our lab, Carla proved to be absolutely exemplary when it came to stability and totally frugal in its use of system resources.

It uses JACK as the default and preferred audio driver but also supports native drivers like ALSA, DirectSound or CoreAudio.ĮDIT: long article about Carla from from 2015:Ĭarla supports practically everything capable of generating and processing sound on Linux. It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CC (and send output back as MIDI too) and full OSC control.Ĭarla currently supports LADSPA (including LRDF), DSSI, LV2, VST2/3 and AU plugin formats, plus GIG, SF2 and SFZ file support. They got Kontact Player working in Carla.Ĭarla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin formats.

I found out about it from this random video of someone running Ardour on Ubuntu. And almost everything in AVLinux can be installed in Manjaro, and most other distributions

They also have an excellent manual for further reading.

Worth checking to see a fully loaded audio distribution with realtime kernel. It isn't free, it takes a bit of time to work out, but no financial cost in software allows for buying better microphone, preamplifier and other hardware. I know this isn't same use case as musicians and many others, but audio on JACK has been running and sounding good for me for years. Most are competent audio technicians sharing knowledge with a few experienced Linux guys. I am part of a group of 15 broadcasters, many have been using Linux reliably for years. First time I heard a friend test Linux broadcaster IDJC and play some familiar tunes I could hear much improved audio quality. I started as producer on live shoutcast radio shows using windows XP. Manjaro has special position for me in audio production.
