Thx so much, dude! I would route Hydrogen outputs to separate single inputs in Ardour

Nice work! Thanks for sharing it.

Please keep making these videos!

Great vid 👍 what sound library are you using for the drums?

Thanks! The kit I use and how to replicate it is explained here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHyBurJ-pc3fops.html&si=5NexA_TW-w-EJCL6

Really great workflow vid! Thanks! I always struggle with latency issues, could you give an advise how to tackle them?

Yes! Buffer size must be 128 or below. 256 is still somewhat playable but annoying. If you can't do 128 without sound starting to crack and pop, then the CPU is the bottle neck. That's the whole recipe; no more, no less 🙂

@@virgildanica2372 PW supports e.g., changing buffer size and sample rate in the middle of session, which definitely breaks Jack clients. I know this because I've implemented some LV2 plugins myself and know for a fact that they can't handle such changes dynamically. Apparently PW was also doing some automatic buffer size changes based on DSP load, so this was definitely introducing a lot of random stability issues with Jack clients. Latest version of PW has at least some of these fixed via jack specific configuration, however, I still had some jack connection related issues using Ubuntu Studio 24.04 Beta. I don't want to be PW-hater, but for my use cases it adds zero value while of course not being mature like Jack is. I know the reason for its existence and it makes perfect sense. But I just can't recommend it for stable, professional and/or embedded system usage, yet.

@@SudoMetalStudio This kind of thing is the reason I abandoned (a few years ago) my attempt at using Linux for home recording. In Linux-land, things change all the time. You get a new update, and now some command you've been using for years is gone and replaced with something else. Jack is now mature and probably really good, but a few years ago when I tried to get to grips with U-Studio, and then AV Linux, it was a royal pain in my butt. Now it's apparently mature and working, and of course the upstream devs are gonna replace it... 🤦‍♂ If I get some time over the weekend I'll install U-Studio on a spare disk on my hackintosh, and see what's what. Thanks for your video, I'll try to follow your example as a test. Cheers.

Question: how to remap midi device in Ardour? I’m fingerdrumming on Presonus ATOM 4x4 and this crap can’t be remapped internally (not other). In reaper there is JS plugin to remap devices. How to map for example pad 1 to 36, 2 to 38 to match favourite drum pad layout to general midi map?

I have never really used them, but there seems to be several "MIDI Note Transpose" or "MIDI Note Mapper" type of plugins that I believe can be configured to trigger MIDI note X when MIDI note Y is played. Just drop that as first plugin and configure it :) Note that it will still record the original note but the recorded (or played) note is actively transposed. If you are looking to actually record the mapped notes, you might need to use 2 tracks. So you'd then link the pad to track 1 that has the "transpose/mapper plugin" and then output that to another track which records the translated note. There might also be some better ways to do that; this is definitely not familiar area for me.

@@SudoMetalStudio This could be really important for people playing e-kits where the midi map doesn't follow a known standard, and is uneditable on the drum module. I have a 2box kit, that I migrated to from a Roland TD-9 and I remember all sorts of issues trying to record midi (especially the hats position IIRC, that was a pain).
