For a number of reasons I have over the holiday updated my home system
to add a 4-channel sound card to the stereo card, a 4-bus mixer and
two more monitor speakers.  My intent is to investigate quad sound and
maybe a toe into ambisonics.  All the information I have seen suggests
that Jack and Ardour should be part of such a setup.  Problem is that
I do not understand jack, how to set it up or exactly what it does.
Similarly experiments with Ardour have been less than successful -- I
guess my mind really is otherwise wired.

I have some memory that someone (VictorL, DaveP?) posted a tutorial on
Jack some time back which I thought I had kept, but I cannot find it
now.  Could someone point me at tutorials for Jack and for Ardour?

Made a little more important as the Faculty at the University has just
funded an 8-speaker rig with USB 8-channel soundcard, cables and lots
of toys, and I need to understand how to set that up.

One thing to remember is when creating a new session with Ardour click
on the advance tab and change the default number of channels on the
master bus to your desired number. Otherwise the master bus will be
stereo.

Fedora has a musicians guide which includes a chapter on ardour
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Musicians_Guide/.

For JACK, you basically install qjackctl and manage everything from there.
