hello users,
I have just downloaded Ardour to try it out, so I am very new to it.
I have Jack running and Ardour loads. I can import wav files in, but when I play them back they are very clunky. I have tried increase the latency, but to no avail. This is probable something pretty straight forward, so any help would be apreciated.
All the best,
Chris S

Apart form upping the latency I suggest you try running on 3 periods and not 2 and see how it goes (assuming you are running on 2).

Hello Lincoln,
Periods? You've lost me.

If you have qjackctl installed (Gui for starting jack) go te setup and there you will see Periods/Buffer, but apart of all this, a bit info on all your hardware specs would really help.
