Phase 3: getting my interface to work.
Now, most of you know that most companies are making specific Drivers for Mac and Windows and not making anything for Linux. A good deal of companies are starting to open up to Linux and give people coding information.

I'm still saving up for a decent interface, so I decided to set up my old Tascam US 122.
Just by doing a google search for "US122 Linux", I was able to read several tutorials on exactly what to command in a terminal to make it work. The standard format is to set up code to be copied and pasted. All of the tutorials had me doing different stuff and none of them worked. However, I eventually found a tutorial that worked on the Ubuntu documentation site, which is where I should have looked in the first place.
Now my interface is playing all my sound, which is what I want it to do. Jack also recognizes the Tascam. According to most people, this is the most difficult part of the Linux switch. I was pretty frustrated in the middle of it.
