Studio (mostly sound) N.B. jack libs, dssi's, including zyn synths, ALL must work. Try this departure setup: qjackctl started and a backing track loaded in VLC set to audio jack. To earn a passing grade in the top row I want to hear my guitar when I plug it in and I want to hear it SIMULTANEOUSLY in all the headsets and speakers that are physically connected; I want to be able to launch qSynth, Rosegarden, ZynAddSubFX, Audacity and maybe Hydrogen and all this with or without qjackctl but definitely without having to fuck around with any other tweaks to rob me of my guitar time. So far, not a single distro has come up to scratch. |
