No apparent input

[giadawlk]

Hi, using Ubuntu Studio 20.04 supplied Giada 0.15.4. Hoping to use Jack. Tried a few things, but no love so far. Cleared out the .giada directory a few times to start over. So, starting from scratch:

1) Select Jack from config. Set Debug to file. Save and restart.
2) I see the beats going at 120 in the sequencer bar. I set Output device to a2j and Input device to a2j. Save and restart.
3) I no longer see the bouncing sequencer. I do see Giada show up in jack as both input and output. I connect Hydrogen (for example) output to the input of Giada in Jack Audio Connection Kit.
4) I don't see any input on the meters in Giada.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hello!

You're using a fairly outdated version of Giada and I can't think of bugs that could relate to this problems. I'd suggest first of all you get equipped with the most recent AppImage from Giada website and see if it helps.

Well, I made some more progress with 0.16.1, so we can close this out. Fixed seems like such a strong word. Resolved sounds better. I can't tell you how many times a developer told me the "optimized" some code, and it turned out to be crap, and they "optimized" it again! Just bustin' balls, I definitely appreciate the work and the product!

Well, keep in mind Giada as a whole is a project under development (hence versions starting from "0") and things are expected to be unstable sometimes, however the team here is taking a close look at every bug report and issue.
And help is really appreciated around here, so if you feel like doing some coding for a good cause, just fork it
