No problem, excuse me, I've lost control, it takes me a lot of time to read your mails, even if I don't give you many help. In fact, the only thing I can say to really help is: I'm working on music with linux since 6 years now. I've even recorded a CD entierely with linux tools. If you want to get ride of hardware stuff, and be more on artistic or professional side, I'd say that you have to "pay the price": 1) A good CPU 2) A good motherboard 3) 2 good hard drives 4) A _*really*_ good sound card _My system is:_* *(this is what I found 2 years ago) 1) AMD athlon fx 3000+ 2) Gigabyte motherboard socket 939 (second hand 50€) 3) 2 scsi drives with a tekram PCI controller (one drive for the OS and the other for the datas) 4) RME hdsp 9652 With a setup like this, you can do almost anything you want (exept the coffee !) I would recommand RME cards, because they are really _*PRO*_ cards, and the support under linux is really _*PRO*_. Of course, you can go on with a Terratec card, but keep in mind that if you hold on with Linux and audio, you'll probably change your soundcard. Few years behind, I always wanted to buy things to make music, but the cheapest as possible. When I think about it today, i'd say that I did loose money and time ! Hope it'll help Cheers _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
