<br><br>You may get better results if you go into qjackctl and boost your periods per second, however you may still run into problems. You might also try finding a comparable effect (some work better than others).
<br><br>Unfortunately Ardour doesn't have a feature where you can quickly mix-down your effects destructively to the wave file - however there is nothing stopping you doing this in an outside recording program (I recommend Sweep).

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Hi All,</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I've been using Ardour with Fedora Core Linux now for a couple years without too many problems. I recently upgraded my machine (Intel Duo processor, 2 gigs of ram..., SATA drive) and I'm running Fedora Core 5 with the CCRMA kernel
2.6.16-1.2080.16.rrt.rhfc5.ccrmasmp </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I use an M-Audio Delta-66 audio interface.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I've recorded a musical composition with between 20 and 30 tracks at 96khz sample rate. The recording went
fine but now as I am mixing and adding the LADSPA plugin TAP Equalizer to many tracks, I am running into problems with either Ardour saying that �...Jack may have disconnected because Ardour was not fast enough� (most frequent error) or an error about Ardour not being able to read the disk fast enough to keep up with playback. I've noticed many xrun lines in the Jack messages window.
</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Any advice about I go about solving this issue? Its getting to the point where I can't play back the mix for more that 20 seconds without an error. Are there any adjustments I can make to improve performance?
</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Thanks a lot,</div><span> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">S</div></span><span> <p>
