hmm. so i un-reinstalled qjackctl and the problem is gone for now. i had unplugged the mic. i don't really need the mic for what i'm doing and my time with this system is short. so it looks like i will be keeping this as is for now. the only annoying this is that the midi perc (hydrogen) track seems to sputter/stutter: it goes silent for a bit then spits all the notes out at once and continues on in rhythm. i think i can get a good bounce though, if i leave things alone and mute other tracks during the bounce. i did it before. anyways thank you!
