![]() ![]() ![]() There's a newer version on Flathub, but I can't seem to get JACK to work correctly with Flatpaks, so we will have to use the system package instead. ![]() Preparing Hydrogenįor this demonstration, I'm using an older version of Hydrogen from the Ubuntu repositories. Otherwise, Ardour is ready to sync with JACK. If this button doesn't appear green or say “JACK”, check the “transport masters” list under your Ardour preferences.

Preparing Ardourīefore we start syncing any JACK application with Ardour, let's make sure Ardour is using JACK as it's external sync. In order to access this functionality, you will need an application like qjackctl, Cadence, or for this tutorial Carla on your system. This allows JACK compatible applications to be synced up to one master timecode controlled by JACK itself. For this section, we are going to take advantage of JACK's transport system. This section assumes that you already have JACK setup with the necessary bridges needed for Pulseaudio. Hard Way: Sync Hydrogen and Ardour through JACK. Session tempo must match in order for drum sample to work without time stretching. (Reverse, Slice, Pitch Shift, etc)Ĭan't change drum pattern in Ardour, need to re-export changes from Hydrogen and re-import. Pros:Ĭan manipulate this sample like any other sample. Now you have a drum beat from Hydrogen, inside your Ardour project. Before hitting import, make sure “Mapping” is set to “one track per file”, this will create a new track for your audio sample.

It's powerful enough to create some nice sounding drums for your song.
