Exactly. Audacity has no need of jack... or low latency. It is a tool that
is very good at what it does... record audio, not track over track, just
record. It does not need low latency, it can do any effects in the
application. It is and audio editor, cut/paste/morf audio. but not always
real time. It is not a good tool to listen to one track/set of tracks
while recording more. If you wish to do that use ardour. It will set up
and run jack for you with reasonable defaults for your first use. You can
lower the latency on the fly if you need to, all from ardour's menus. Good
place to start.
