Hi guys, first post here!
I apologize if this is not the place for my question - but I figured I would get the best reply here…
I bought Ardour a few weeks ago, in 5.3.xx and am now in 5.4.0
I’m going to learn this thing from tip to toe, and am loving it so far… read a note on the Manual about it being/not “intuitive” but so far I’m amazed at how clear and clean everything looks.
So I bought a Presonus 1818VSL audio interface; it arrived today. I just tried it and the results were:
It sync’d with Linux (that blue light)
And I was able to - without doing anything related to setups - record and listen to 2 tracks, via USB. I recorded a voice on MIC1 and a guitar on Line2. Both went right to their tracks and I could listen to them as I played back.
So, as far as Ardour goes I have no issues …
My two issues/questions are - being a Noob:
-
I can’t listen to anything on the Presonus headphones out;
-
Is it possible to route the Linux sounds, like my Spotify playlists, to the Presonus interface?
Here’s what I have:
Presonus 1818 connected to my M-Audio powered speakers;
I’m using the MAIN outputs of Presonus to connect to the speakers as indicated.
The interface is connected with my Linux computer (Mint, KDE/Plasma) via USB
I have my mike and guitar on inputs 1 and 2.
…
So, no sound on the headphones
and no general sound from Linux coming in.
Ardour works perfect
…
Again, sorry if this is not the place, but I read a few things at the Presonus forum and it was like Linux didn’t exist, so…
Thanks in advance for any help!
