Please, HELP with configuration JACK driver and BCD3000

Post by radar155 »

hi!!! i don't speack a very good english so i hope you will understand what i mean!!!!
i am an amatorial producer and from same day i am trying to use linux for this scope. At the moment i have only the integrated soundcard of the beringher bcd3000 controller. I was triyng to configure it with jack driver.
i'm using linux mint16.

i installed jackd2 and qjackctl (gui).

i don't find any linux driver for bcd3000 but the system can see it like and audio device (i can link system outpout to bcd3000) and like a midi devices (bcd3000 is a midi controller with an audioboard usb)

i want use the new DAW "btwig studio"..alsa drivers can see bcd3000 and i can setup the outpout to it. But i read that the best driver for producing are jack audio drivers

i can start jackd server by using gui and Btwig studio can see jack drivers. The problem is that jack driver con't see bcd3000 like and audio card but only like a midi controller. So i can't configure anything! By pressing connect , i can only link the system outpout (internal audio card) with the outpout of Btwig studio.

Can you help me???? I vould like to set up bcd3000 with 4 outpouts. (and i am a new linux user. i can use terminal, bot not so good..so if i had to use it, please explane good cause i am not so expert :D).....

ooh, another question: i have linux mint x64 mate. you think this is a good lite linux distro for producing?? you think i had to install a low latency kernel?? thank you very much!!!!!

The crucial thing to do is telling jack to use the right audio card. In qjackctl, there is a "interface" field where you have to select the Behringer (but alas, it won't appear by its name). Once jack starts with that configuration, you should see some "system" ports in qjackctl connect and, I suppose, in bitwig.

Note that in jack terminology "system" refers to "the card jack is using" rather than "the default system card".

For a better help, please, show the terminal output of

Code: Select all

arecord -l && aplay -l
Also, there are specialized distros, like Kxtudio or AVLinux. But if you want to use Linux Mint, I suppose it will be good for now. Yes, a low latency kernel is recommend, also cpu governor ondemand is bad. Also, your user must belong to the audio group. I think these tweaks are the most important ones. For a better out of the box experience I recommend the afore mentioned distros or some other.

i have a bcd3000 and it works with no problems, you just need to choose the correct device in qjackctrl

In qjack control you will want to change the interface from the default to select specifically the usb connected interface. I dont use qjackctl as running kx studio which uses cadence instead. But it should be similar, select the hardware for both input and output.

it might be something like hw:USB0 (BCD3000) or HW:USB0 (Behringer)

Old thread I know but just case anyone is still monitoring this, I believe the BCD3000 only supports 44.1 Khz, and it looks like you were trying to start in 48 Khz. Good Luck.
