My gosh, i can't thank you enough, i've been struggling to get mozzila's audio and being able to record on reaper for 2 days on mint not finding anything useful in youtube until i found the link to this on a forum, i even had to do a full reinstall since my system wouldn't boot anymore for some reason... And now thanks to you guys it's all fixed, i'm so relieved !
Hey there. Great video. I know it was a few years ago, but I think one of the best for jack. You really lost me when the second video started with Carla-rackfx and I had no idea how to create it or make it work. I kind of got everything working but my mic sounds horrible. I'll work on it. I was so looking forward to more from you, but thank you for a great set of videos
It's embarrassing that I've worked with Linux for decades but I didn't know about JACK and the whole audio ecosystem with bunch of great open source tools and vst, lv2 plugins.
Thanks for this video, it was great. I have a question. I want to connect my Bluetooth speakers through Jack using and sound enhancer (soundpimp), but I don't know how to add the Bluetooth speakers to carla. please help
Here's what I've found out - by experience 1 you don't want to remove or uninstall pulse audio; I can't speak for other distros, but it's very apparently the default audio 'server' for Ubuntu. Remov it and no audio will play 2 there's a definite conflict with JACK audio 'server' when using both. Browser audio will not play when JACK is started. I have not yet figured all of this out. But, I'll watch your video again and maybe something will click
Hello Ryan and Skrappy! Excellent! I was waiting for this since several months! Could it be possible to increase the font size in the future videos? I could hardly read or see the parameters and the config lines. Best regards.
Great tutorial. Do you know if this also will help with audio for Microsoft teams on Linux. So far my experience with teams on Linux is horrible when it comes to sound.
Not sure it will help with the quality on their end, but it can help the quality on yours. Using a simple gate plug in to "auto mute" when your not speaking is a secret sauce for any streaming/confrence call setup. I use lsp-plugins suit.
Hey man, I followed the video and has been working fine for months...but now I have a question and cant resolve it...I want to use a headphone connected to the soundboard of my notebook, not my audio interface, but the only options of audio output is Jack Sink. How can I change this without disabling jack?
This is a great video but there's no need to set your sample rate past 48kHz. The limit of human hearing is around 22kHz so you only ever need to set it to 44.1kHz or 48kHz if you want a more gradual anti-aliasing filter.
There is a practical application for using the highest sample rate possible. Latency. Unless you are gonna hardware monitor, the higher rates are useful when software monitoring.
Was this before Qjackctl came along? Do any of these tools provide functionality that isnt available with the standard jack2 toolset as of 2021? Thanks.
I use Cadence and Carla from the kxstudo repos. It's a much better UI and maintained by FalkXT. These videos are 2019 I think. But I still use pretty much the same setup. I should delete this and make a new and more concise presentation, but I suck at video editing. And yes. Carla allows for using racks of fx and allows you to build your own very complex signal chains. Also, the pulse audio bridging with jack allows for as many virtual iO ports as you need for capturing/playing different applications audio separately. Voip, browser, gaming, ect. It can be a great way to just sample a UA-cam video for a post edit, or to use as a game streaming setup with full control over your audio levels and what goes were at any given time.
@@skrappjaw.studio I'll try it out. From what I can see, it is definitely a step up from qjackctl! I can tell as much without downloading. Thanks for the vid, and for the prompt response. Subbing now...
I have a foolish question from a novice. Is this jack audio procedure for making videos to improve sound quality or live streaming or both ?? How did you acquire this knowledge by trail and error approach or did you found this info from various audio courses? just curious ...thanks for the video.
This is for all the things. I use pulse and jack for daily tasks, broadcast, and recording. Trial and error. Digging through forums and asking around is how I got here. Compiling all the knowledge into this channel is my goal. Glad you found use in it! Stick around for more.
Yes! Many people claim that the only reasonable way to use jack is for audio production on a system that has pulseaudio REMOVED. This is a false belief. I also use jack as my 24/7 audio server, with pulse running for compatibility with browsers/games/soundboards etc.
Hello Rose! Here is a good article to begin with: libremusicproduction.com/articles/demystifying-jack-%E2%80%93-beginners-guide-getting-started-jack Watch the videos of Skrappjaw and Ryan about it but do read! Best regards.

@@moonlitmurloc It just depends on how they are linked. If you run input to Jack to pulse to output and have a jack output as well, you'll be all right. Your signal will not touch pulse at all. However, if you try this same configuration, but with Jack and pulse reversed, you better hope you have a super computer or else your input monitor will likely be unusable due to lag. At least I'm guessing that is the case, as I've never tried it myself. I remember trying to record with pulse audio alone. That's it; I just remember it. Nothing else. It's a big deal because I've been trying to forget it for a long time... XD
Ugh! I seemed to have it working but it has now regressed! : / When switching between Bitwig DAW and other desktop audio (music player-cantata & browser) I have to keep force restarting Jack in Cadence. I noticed that I under config in Cadence that input & output had reset to none and that Clock source & Server Synchronous mode were disabled. Clock source & Server Synchronous mode will not stick! Going back into config shows them unticked again! Also, all the input/output sources no longer show in Plasma audio settings. What can I troubleshoot? Also, were is the script available from? Thanks!
Ok, I found Skrappjaw's script on github from a reply comment - and this has worked to get consistent audio across the device. Yay! Thanks Skrappjaw! I have set Cadence to autostart but this does not seem to start Jack. I have to do so manually. Is it possible to have Jack autostart? Great intro music btw!
I love linux for being trully and unconditionally democratic but when it comes to sound it feels like youre sitting at the round table with musicians from different genres trying to write a song together..

Your tutorial worked great. I have Jack up and running. Thanks!

Thanks for this video. In case no one told you by now, kill picom to stop the flickering in the video.
t.y. flawless setup!! ppl can super-trash their system with one teeny error :)

Did Skrappjaw ever make that second video setting up recoding software?
Yes, but it's marked as unlisted atm

What is the dock used at the top of the screen?
Hi,
Great video. Thanks a lot.
Where can I find the script to download?
Github.com/skrappjaw
Also, skrappjaw.studio for more links and resources to come.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
Cadence says i'm not in audio group, but the terminal says i'm already in it :(
