5.0 JACK I/O
I/O ("system") and any
•Rescan: If any new Jack applications were launched since the dialog was created, click Rescan to show the new state of the software.
%Note: If you select the "ardour" tab, you will see that you can select any Mixbus port to feed the track, includ- ing another track/bus output, or the output of the Master bus. This is a quick way to "bounce" the output from
one or more tracks to a single track, or to set up a routing scheme for complicated effects setups. Ardour's routing provides nearly infinite flexibility, but does not guarantee the timing of complicated routing, so please check the tim- ing of any complicated bus setups.
Track/Bus Inspector
Found under the Window menu, the Track/Bus Inspector allows you to route the track inputs, outputs, and redirects from one convenient location. The tracks/buses are listed on the left, and the right side is similar to the track I/O dialog, but it allows connection to redirects as well.
%Note: The Mixbus sends, and the Master assign button, are not
bus.
The Jack Menu
The Jack menu provides some "global" controls over Mixbus's connection to Jack.
•Disconnect / Reconnect: Mixbus can be "disconnected" and "reconnected" with the Jack server. Normally this is only used for troubleshooting.
•Latency: On systems that support it, the latency "buffersize" of the soundcard can be adjusted "on the fly" with these menu entries. A smaller latency setting makes Mixbus feel more responsive, and reduces the delay from soundcard input to soundcard output. A larger latency setting provides less DSP usage, and a more stable sys- tem with fewer clicks or glitches, even with a high CPU load.
