JACK Audio Connection Kit

Setups for professional music production. This usually requires JACK (<a href="https://jackaudio.org/" rel="nofollow">https://jackaudio.org/</a>) as audio server, which allows synchronizing and connecting multiple applications.<p>For example, you can have Ardour (<a href="https://ardour.org/" rel="nofollow">https://ardour.org/</a>) as DAW, but use another application like Hydrogen (<a href="http://hydrogen-music.org/" rel="nofollow">http://hydrogen-music.org/</a>) for creating drum samples. JACK connects the two applications using a virtual patchbay that allows using Hydrogen as an Input for Ardour. Essentially any application can be an input and/or an output.<p>JACK also provides synchronization using a "master clock", so that Hydrogen starts playing as soon as you hit the "record" button in Ardour.<p>Many people also use a Linux kernel optimized for low latency audio.<p>With PulseAudio, these things are not possible. On the other hand, consumer applications like web browsers don't usually offer direct JACK support. So bridging is necessary, by using PulseAudio as a JACK input.
