Re: Moving From ProTools to Linux? Good or bad?

Well, here's the score after about five hours.

Ubuntu Studio is installed. The computer appears to work. Audacity looks familiar. I can play back a WAV file but I can't record anything. There's little that looks familiar in the way of a control panel for the internal sound card, nor is it even clear that I've selected it (but I've tried all the options available). I guess it's the one with Intel in the name.

Where's something I can look at to see how far the audio is getting? Is there an equivalent of the Windows "mixer" applet? Jack doesn't tell me jack.

As I suspected, completely baffling. I'm not giving up yet, but I need something I can grab on to and I haven't found it yet.
