#Lexicon alpha driver install#
*EDIT* Okay so I've done a little more reading and seems I've misunderstood the use of Jack and it is infact a foundation on which to build more software in order to get the results I want? So, assuming this is correct I should also install Audacity as a popular multitrack editing software and calf reverb to add effects, then run these through Jack? Although I'm still not sure where the compatability with my Lexicon Alpha comes into it. Your time in replying really is appreciated If there is a a step by guide around I'd be very grateful to be pointed in the right direction or if someone can at least give me a few things to try I'd be equally pleased!

I've downloaded / added JACK, a metronome and a tuner but cannot find anything that makes sense in getting JACK to 'recognise' my Alpha. I've read in so many places that the Alpha works straight 'out of the box', which may well be the case but to be honest I'm only a beginner with my guitar, a newbie with Linux and this is the first audio interface I've ever purchased so I feel up s**t creak without a paddle! The usb light does come on on the Alpha when plugged into my laptop via usb so I'm assuming that it's being recognised but I'm not sure which 'software' I should be using to record and add effects in place of the Windows software that one would typically use.

I realise I'm opening an old wound as it were but I'm having real trouble with my Lexicon Alpha and my Linux Mint 14 distro.
