[Rosegarden-user] Recording suggestions

[David T. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am getting ready to record a vocal track in a long piece with
several parts. Everything is sequenced in Rosegarden and I have been
using ZynAddSubFX and Hydrogen for Instruments (all software
instruments; none hardware).

I am worried that when I go to record that I am going to get a Jack
error about running out of RealTime processing power (which happens
when I do involved pieces).
I really want to be able to retain the ability to adjust volume etc.
on each track rather than being stuck with an instrumental mix that I
may or may not be happy with long term against a vocal track.

Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? I am feeling
pretty comfortable with Rosegarden at this point and have only
scratched the surface of Ardour and am not sure of how to accomplish
what I want to do in it. I would like to pull the whole thing off in
RG as I am more comfortable with the software. Is it best for me to
move to hardware synths to avoid the  realtime processing issue?

What are other people's experiences with this?

Thanks

Dave
