This is one of the most common operations in DAW use. When recording a second track while listening to the first track, the two interfaces must be in sync. Ok, I think I understand the implications of using unsynced devices for recording at the same time, but if I wanted to use one device for recording and the other one for playing that problem would still exist? The zita package will be called zita-ajbridge if you wish to install it. ![]() The zita-a2j version is better quality resampling and uses less CPU to do so, but alsa_in is already included with jack, so if you have jack you already have alsa_in. You may run as many instances of these utilities as you have USB mics if needed. In Ardour you will need to manually connect this input to the channel you want it feeding. With both of these utilities you can name the port that Ardour will see to something you can find easily (like mic1). In the case of Linux with Ardour, you will have to use jack as the sound server and add either alsa_in or zita-a2j to add the USB mic as another port to jack before starting Ardour. Ardour and Jack do not do this by default though the sound servers in some OSs do. So using a USB mic with internal sound or some other output audio will not work unless they are externally synced or there is SRC involved. Ardour needs to have them both open from application start, it is a DAW, not an audio editor after all. Might have to use my phone for that second bit I guess.Ĭould probably make it work on my main machine, but it’s fans are way too loud.Īnyone got any clues for next time? Probably too late for tomorrow now.Īudacity only opens the device when it is using it, so it does not matter if the input and output devices are in sync or not. Which is disappointing, and will mean extra editing work and less ability to play the existing dialogue lines to the new actor recording the next set. ![]() Gonna have to just use Audacity for actual recording now. I suspect Jack is mostly to blame, but when I select the USB mic for Input it changes the output to “none” and when I select the output to the inbuilt it unselects the USB output. Hardest Linux install I ever did, and I was Linux in like 1998.Īudacity lets me just select the Samsung USB mic and plays back fine, giving up now on trying to make Aurour do so in time to record tomorrow. I can’t seem to find a combination that’ll allow me to use my USB microphone for input while also using my built-in soundcard for output, while using a QE62 laptop like this one: Īnd a microphone like this one: with Ubuntu.įrankly, if I’d understood the graphics card I was buying properly I wouldn’t have brought this laptop at all.
