are you a tekkie like me vestast ?
you gotta check this compiler out. pyxia.com ibasic.
the plus for windows is when you distribute your app ,
you dont have to include all the win bloatware dll's as it compiles to a small standalone win exe. they are also working on a linux version i believe.
also check out purebasic.com. another cool one. works on linux apparently.
peace.

From the ardour link above (Click on system requirements):

"For high-end use, the RME Hammerfall series and the M-Audio Delta series are both recommended choices. These devices are well-supported under Linux, have excellent hardware designs, and work well in more or less every respect."

I was hoping to hear from someone who had actually recorded multiple tracks with a linux box. What sound card did they use and any lessons learned.

LInux and 8 tracks

qjackctl - graphic front end for JACK JACK Sound Server
Audacity - multitrack recorder
Ardour - All in one Linux DAW
JAMin - mastering app
LADSPA - Plugin architecture for effects, etc.
Hydrogen - THE drum machine for linux
Rosegarden - "the closest thing to Cuebase on linux"

HI
Thanks for the URLs I'm just about to give Linux a go in the sound thing.
It would be perfect for me as I can remove my last XP box ( running sonar)
I have a digi RME 8 track sound card already as I know they run Linux.
Cheers

I've been trying off and on to set up a linux DAW for a while, but something always shuts me down, usually JACK. I've tried Agnula and Dyne:bolic, but had driver issues with them.

I use linux (Mepis, to be precise) for other tasks, I just think in all honesty it's still not there on the audio front yet. I'll keep waiting, though, especially as microsoft starts experimenting with things like subscription-based OS licenses and such. If linux audio ever matures it will really be a boon for starving musicians.

I Hope my RME and nvidia graphics will help in this.
These are both supported for LInux.


I'm still building the studio in a basement at the moment.

There is a lot of highend stuff on Linux now and hopefully this will filter down to us.
Chers

I do have a RME digi96/8, but do have some issues with it when running jack (under 2.6.x). No problems with alsa so far. The hammerfall works very well under jack (and 2.4.x). Not yet sure if it is a kernel issue or something else.

Just an FYI if you update. The latest Suse 9.2, Mandrake 10.1, Fedora Core 3, etc will seem to run in slow motion compared to Suse 9.1,etc. The mem=blah works. See the link below.

HI Thank you!
That will catch a lot of people out till they fix it.
A lot of daws will have a gig of ram these days.
Thanks for the link.
I'm still waiting on a hard drive for my daw,
So I can keep windows and linux alone.

Cheers

I've been using Ardour

I've been using ardour now for a while with great results.
Its difficult to configure... So its definatly an advantage if you are a linux geek.. Its difficult to configure, but its free, and runs very well. It's consistantly updated, and well supported by the community.

I use a delta 44.

The only function I can't seem to find in linux that I have in windows is changing the individual inputs from +10 to -4

Is anyone using an M-Audio Delta 1010LT successfully with Linux?

My Layala 24 worked in Knoppix. I was screwing around with recording in Linux for awhile and then my computer took a crap. Haven't touched it in a few weeks. Lots of fun so far though!

Ooop. Someone helped me out with this. The envy24control mixer has an "Analog Volume" tab... which helps adjust this. Or at least, helped solve the problem I was experiencing.
 
i gotta say, i'm really liking reaper and it's probably the only app really keeping me in windows but linux is starting to look interesting. what's the best distribution to try lately for audio/midi? how's the latency and stability of ALSA compared to ASIO?

did wired just come to a halt or is it just moving really slow?
 
look up dynbolic, its a complete build for video and audio

I tried dynebolic (made me feel like an idiot). I got my sound working but had issues with jack and couldn't get any of the audio apps (except the players) to put out sound. WTFM? :D
 
I didn't really like Dyne myself and used DeMuDi... now I'm back to Slackware ... RT processing was a little iffy until I found set_rlimits.
