Did you set the jack-options according to nrpacks=3D4?

I once tried playing with this option but dropped it as it brought no=20

advantage for me.

Mine currently works with several different settings, I have attached my=20

I get this error occasionally on my desktop-system. But as this has two=20

=20

disable network while recording.)

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what t=

Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be=20

replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
