Jack Transport
Jack Transport
Jack transport enables audio and MIDI communication between programs “JACK-aware”, while acting as timemaster to keep all programs synchronized. JACK can be initiated either with CLI (Command Line Interface) or GUI like qjackctl.
Jack transport is compatible with various sequencers such as Hydrogen and Rosegarden, making the setup of JACK for each easy.
Early Life and Education
Jack’s parents encouraged him to spend his Sundays outdoors, collecting specimens and exploring nature. Over time, his neighbors became intrigued with this child who so keenly focused on nature. They found him odd; indeed, some even called him peculiar for this singularly focused pursuit of it.
He spent the winter of 1877-1878 boarding at a family friend and artist with liberal ideas regarding education; this period represented his longest period of uninterrupted instruction.
Jack worked at the Arnold Arboretum while living in Boston and was charged with collecting plants from Cuba and West Indies for their herbarium. Additionally, he conducted springtime classes on trees and shrubs for public, which became immensely popular and were later continued by others. Furthermore, Jack was active member of Optimist Club as its president – something many can relate to his job of collecting plants from these regions!
Professional Career
Jack has led numerous successful projects in highway planning and geometric design. He directed research projects examining roadway geometry for the Bureau of Public Roads as well as working as a consultant.
Stone’s other passion lies with painting; he keeps a studio in his garage where he paints. He holds great admiration for modern art – specifically that by Jackson Pollock.
JACK provides an ideal realtime latency level required for professional audio work. It allows one application to control multiple apps using transport control sharing the same audio device; all thanks to its kernel-based real-time clock.
Achievement and Honors
Jack earned a well-earned reputation as one of the finest pilots worldwide. A B-24 combat pilot during WWII and C-54 pilot during Berlin airlift. Additionally he held positions as staff officer in Pentagon.
He earned an NBAA Lifetime Achievement award and served as an esteemed professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UConn, you can help honor him by contributing to Professors Remembered campaign here.
Rosegarden can easily be configured for JACK synchronization by selecting an option in its Files/Options dialog, shown here. This enables it to share JACK transport peer status with applications like Hydrogen, Ardour and QJackCtl; its timing information will then be exchanged via timebase callback running in realtime process thread.
Personal Life
Jack was born with a wide cleft palate and jaw and underwent surgery to correct it. His parents fought tirelessly on his behalf, making use of the GI Bill so he could pursue a higher education while providing him and his siblings a fulfilling life.
The timebase master invokes a callback that updates position data while transport is moving, accessible from any thread and effective within two process cycles.
Many applications that utilize JACK, such as Rosegarden, Ardour and Hydrogen support this feature. When enabled, all three applications share one transport control to start, stop and move their transport together. JACK also supports low latency which is an essential element for professional audio work.
Net Worth
Dangermond amasses his fortune through ownership of Esri, the leading GIS company which generates billions in annual revenues and boasts billions in market cap. Furthermore, he gives generously to both charity and environmental causes.
Jack Cooper currently manages over 4,000 trucks and employs over 60 staff across North America. They plan on expanding into Mexico in the near future.
They have found much success through lucrative brand deals and chart-topping hits, as well as having an engaging social media presence which has increased fan engagement and consequently their net worth has continued to increase. Most recently, they signed a major label contract, which should only further their earnings.
