JACK Audio Connection Kit Reviews and Details

Is JACK Audio Connection Kit good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Drumscript: A simple MIDI drum machine scripting language

  It's linux only, and MIDI only, and it needs GTK2, but yeah, it should work on modern linux. You can use jack[1] to connect the midi output to a softsynth, or another drum software (e.g. Hydrogen[2]) or to actual MIDI hardware. There's a video demo[3] of my program I made 3 years ago. The pasting of drum tab is demoed at 6:20 in the video. [1] https://jackaudio.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Delay on EZDrummer 3 with Millenium mps 850.

  Im pretty sure that asio4all drivers dont run on linux, I think its a windows exclusive driver. But I think that JACK is something similar, Im not sure though, since all I have ever used is windows so I havent had a reason to look into it. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking an alternative to AudioMulch

  If you're looking for a realtime VST Host, I use Carla with the JACK Audio Connection Kit for low-latency EQ and other FX which are realtime on my Microphone, which then get redirected to a virtual microphone (all on Linux, should still be possible on Windows). So far that worked greatly. Source: about 3 years ago

• Share device audio along with audio call

  Jack is supported on main platforms . Make sure to read the wiki . Also, some Realtek drivers has the Stereo-mix option that allows you achieve what you want. If yo have the default audio driver that Windows install it may be missing. Source: about 3 years ago

• Anyone know if its possible for a moniter with no speakers to **Appear** as a sound source?

  Wonder if a virtual audio cable would help. https://jackaudio.org. Source: about 3 years ago

• The pros and cons of building packages from source as SOP.

  Well if you want to do audio DAW stuff you'll probably want JACK, but most folks don't want that and it can sometimes cause problems if it's installed without your knowledge. Source: over 3 years ago

• Accessing RPi 4 audio jack with a C program

  You can also run an audio server like JACK and then write your code as a JACK client. JACK can be useful if you need to route audio between different programs as well as hardware devices, but probably isn't worth it if you just have a single program that needs to output audio. Pulseaudio and Pipewire perform similar functions but are primarily intended for handling the audio needs of graphical desktop environments. Source: over 3 years ago

• Challenging algorithms and data structures every programmer should try

  Although it is somewhat embarrassing to admit this, when I wrote JACK [0] I was unaware of topological sort, mostly due to a lack of any formal CS education. This was a major error/failing on my part, because that codebase was more or less made for TS. There have been few other instances where a lack of formal CS training has been an impediment, but not knowing that there was a well-known algorithm for ordering... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Using Reason 9 in Cubase 12 Pro

  But you can still try JACKaudio, which is a similar protocol to rewire and is open source - https://jackaudio.org/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Program (macOS) that forwards data from MIDI in to MIDI out

  I've used jack for this on windows and it worked out alright. Seems like it supports Mac. Source: over 3 years ago

• [NEW] jack is a HTML renderer library for Emacs Lisp | you might find it useful

  Consider changing the name for the sake of discoverability/troubleshooting/docs searching because Jack is a pretty well known linux audio server API/daemon. Source: over 3 years ago

• Use Linux PC to emulate usb/minijack microphone

  Thank you for the info. Actually, I'm making a tool for automation testers to run such tests on various apps, not only assistance. So these apps might and might not take audio files. I'd try with microphone setup first and then fall back to files. I like the idea of using the audio jack and I'll check it out, thanks. Do you think https://jackaudio.org/ will work for this case?

• Noob Question: How to sample not from microphone

  On Windows or Linux Jack (also 3rd party software) might work but I haven't tried it. Some other suggestions come up if you google "Soundflower alternatives for Windows" too. Source: over 3 years ago

• Alternative to ReWire on Windows and routing audio/MIDI between programs

  Use JACK Audio, which apparently can do everything rewire does and more. Problem is it's not the easiest program to set up - I can't really figure it out either - and there's very little community support in terms of tutorials and guides. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Noise Gate Software

  Which you might need to set up to route audio through JACK (for which Carla has native support) https://jackaudio.org/. Source: almost 4 years ago

• ReWire alternative

  Maybe Jack Audio can be used this way? But I haven't used it in ages since well, I was relying on ReWire too. I haven't opened up Cubase in a while but I used RW to route Max/MSP and stuff into it. It was very convenient and straightforward. So I'm curious if there's already an alternative, especially if it works on Windows. There's programs like Loopback that do routing but they're Mac only.

• Extracting audio files from html games

  Jack for Windows or Soundflower for Mac OS routed into something like Audacity is probably the way to do it. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Where’s ASIO??

  ASIO is Windows-only. You might look into JACK as a cross-platform alternative, although I can't personally vouch for it and I've heard it's kinda wonky. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Microsoft fixes 40-minute Point of Sale bug in Windows 11

  I don't know about specific audio drivers for the linux kernel. But we have different sound servers (ALSA, Jack, perhaps others). Each sound server behave somewhat differently and come with their goods and their bads. For low latency, you'd want Jack, and no pulseaudio or pipewire. Source: about 4 years ago

• Dj software/ableton conflicting (windows10)

  That is because ASIO drivers can't be shared by multiple devices. Get JackAudio from https://jackaudio.org/ and you can patch the devices together. Make sure to start Jack as first audio application, or the audio server won't start. If you need help, then check the FAQ, internet or hit me up. Have fun! Source: about 4 years ago

• Somebody know what program that is? With the spotify logo in it.

  I see… You can download and try more alternatives from here. Maybe JACK…. Source: over 4 years ago
