What is JACK Audio Connection Kit?
JACK is a powerful low-latency audio server that enables seamless real-time routing of audio and MIDI data between applications. Through its API, JACK provides a robust infrastructure for building sophisticated signal processing and music production systems. Users can leverage the capabilities of JACK1 or the enhanced JACK2 implementation, also known as jackdmp, which offers optimized performance on multi-processor machines
