Anyone using any Digidesign hardware and their Cordeaudio driver to accesss Ardour? Need some assistance getting it going. Having some difficulties getting Jack and the Coreaudio driver to play nice and see each other. Of course, it could be pilot error and not software or hardware’s fault.
Thanks folks.
I’m using [Tiger] OSX 4.7 & Digi CoreAudio 6.9.2. I’m also using Ardour2.beta.2. Ardour loads up fine. Looks good too, I might add. But it is not connecting to the Digi 001. Could be that I am also using the ADAT interface to connect to my Yamaha 01v mixer. Not seeing options for all 18 outputs, but I do see 18 inputs in Audio Midi Setup.
By the way, have you folks seen this post from the Digidesign DUC?
I think I have my Digi 001 and Ardour finally playing nicely together. As you can see, I don’t use the program much. I began to check it out as a great option for community-based, after school projects that I do with teens. Ardour is great and gets better monthly. I try to pass the word on the as many folks who will venture here.
My setup —
PowerMac G4 w/ 1.5Ghz upgrade
Digidesign Digi001
Yamaha 01v mixer w/ ADAT I/O
OSX 10.4.7
Digidesign CoreAudio Driver 6.9.2cs2
QuickTime Player 7.03
Ardour 2.05
Jack version 0.101.3/Jack Router 0.8.3
First, I open Digi CoreAudio Manager and make sure it is set up properly.
[I have 18 in and 18 out]
[512 Buffer Size]
Then, I open JackPilot.
Before I start Jack to connecting, I check preferences.
I make my Driver -CoreAudio
Interface -Digideisgn HW (001)
Sample Rate -44100 or the same in the Digi CoreAudio Manager
Buffer Size- 512 or the same in the Digi CoreAudio Manager
Interface Output Channels - 16 [Don’t know why I’m not getting 18, but it’s ok for nw.]
Interface Input Channels - 18
In the Routing page in Jack, I see my inputs and Outputs.
Then, I start Ardour.
Takes a minute
I get some audio on my tracks, but I think I have to get back to the manual and study the Ins and Outs of Ardour and Jack. It’s probably far easier than I think.
If anyone has any feedback or insight, please feel free.
Did a little more work today, trying to figure out what I have been doing wrong in terms of the Digi 001, Jack, Yamaha 01v, Ardour and the Digidesign Core Audio Driver. For the first time, I’ve set outputs “to Physical Outputs” instead of “to Master Bus” in the Ardour Session Control at start up. Got sound from each channel when I set it up to outputs 1 or 2. I could actually mix.
Clearly, I need to “study” the manual. A quick read-thru will not do. This program, like Pro Tools or Nuendo is packed and of course, each plug-in is a universe unto itself.
