untitled part two
Okay, I found the Jack transport option in Hydrogen. It's near the top of the screen and looks like a meter. So, I can get Hydrogen to play with Ardour, but while... Nevermind, I got it. If I press play in Jack, I'll hear sound play in Hydrogen, but while that line thing moves across the bars in Ardour no sound plays in the latter. But I see now that they are working together after pressing play in Ardour (sync source is set to Jack). Cool.
I recorded a track this morning with amSynth (played through a midi keyboard - the Roland U-20) without too much effort. The track itself sucks, but I may be able to salvage a couple of pieces of it. I'll do more recording tomorrow (actually later today) after work.
I had some crashing issues a little while ago. Don't know what I did exactly. I thought, at first, it might've had something to do with the Jack Transport in Hydrogen. I had that switched on, but I also had amSynth on. When I'd open Ardour, it would be fine until I opened the file I was working on. I'd get a shitload of error messages in a log window. Then when I tried to play anything Ardour would either freeze, shutdown, or log me out. I avoided the situation this time by not starting amSynth, yet and waiting till I opened Ardour to turn on the Jack Transport in Hydrgen.
I'll see if it happens again tomorrow and take a closer look. Just tried opening amSynth and it won't cooperate. The Jack window logs another x-run each time I try.
