#1

Maybe this means something to someone… I load latest Jack… set it up as instructed… start it running with correct audio drivers… then run Ardour and this is what I get… naturally there’s more… but this may mean something to soemone…
I’ve been working on this for 2 days now. … 81 crashes!! getting nowhere…
and apart from this forum… where is Ardour contact info??

Jump on IRC (See the support tab above) and ask there, I haven’t seen this particular problem before so it will likely take some time to work out and IRC is a much better area to solve that on as it is realtime as opposed to the forums which will take some time.

@toodamnloud:

Try removing the 2C Aether plugin and see if the problem goes away.
