-<p>
- This is a tabbed-dialog within the New Session dialog that will
- appear only if JACK is <strong>not</strong> already running as you
- start Ardour. It provides a simple interface to configure JACK, which
- will then be started by Ardour. For more control and options regarding
- JACK, it is recommended that you start JACK before using Ardour, via a
- JACK control application such as qjackctl (sometimes called "Jack
- Control"), JackPilot, etc.

-
-<h3>Device Tab</h3>
-
-<p> On this tab you can tell Ardour about the device it should use.
- The driver setting will tell it what driver to attempt to
- access.
-</p>

- <dt>Driver</dt>
- <dd>
- On Mac OS X this will typically be CoreAudio. On Linux usually
- this will be either FFADO or ALSA, depending on whether or not you are
- utilizing a firewire device. Advanced users on all platforms may also
- use NetJack which provides network audio I/O
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Interface</dt>
- <dd>The selector should show all availiable interfaces that driver
- provides that are duplex capable for Ardour to
- use. <strong>Important</strong> if you are using an Intel Mac
- running OS X and the builtin audio interface, you must
- first <a href="setting-up-your-system/us
- ing_more_than_one_audio_device/">merge its separate input and
- output devices into a single "aggregate device"</a> before
- Ardour will be able to use it.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Sample Rate</dt>
- <dd>
- The selector will allow you to select from any sample rate
- supported by the device selected above it.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Buffer Size</dt>
- <dd>
- You can adjust the size of the buffer used by your audio interface
- to allow for either lower latency, or lower CPU usage and higher
- latency.
- </dd>
-</dl>
-
-<h3>Options Tab</h3>
-<p>
- This tab has a few options that should be rarely used by most
- users. The Realtime Option allows Jack to run with Realtime
- privileges, which allows for smoother audio. The Verbose Output
- checkbox is primarily used for troubleshooting, it will cause Jack to
- use verbose messaging and output it to the console. The client
- timeout will help prevent clients from disconnecting from Jack if they
- don't respond to Jack fast enough. The number of ports changes the
- total number of ports that Jack will provide to all clients. And the
- server dropdown will allow you to change the path to the Jack
- executable to match where it is installed on your system.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Advanced Tab</h3>
-<p>
- The Advanced tab lets you to set some advanced settings that
- are rarely needed. By default the input and output channels will
- automatically try to give you the amount of inputs and outputs as
- requested by the software, however some software doesn't always
- request as many as you need. This option provides more channels to software that can handle it.
