The difference is another step that can go wrong. I am not saying that it is not possible, I am not even saying that it is hard. It is is simply one more thing to go wrong. In the past 20 years I have picked up certain habits that minimize potential problems, regardless of the platform I am using. Feel free to disagree or to behave differently, I am only passing on techniques that have served me well. In the 90s my DAW was a Windows box dual booting BSD.

Real time and virtualization still have a little way to go yet. On my laptop I use Ubuntu (technically Ubuntu Studio) and I use VMWare to run Windows, BSD, voyage, Vyatta etc. My dedicated DAW has only the hardware and software that I need. It is an older AMD 4400+ but is working great. The point is that my audio work is done on the primary OS, everything else is a VM. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrgxD8ACgkQwRXgH3rKGfNkZACcCg4hbabudDSTHb/jsYDiDAXN hCgAoK102HceMywBq3KbmOBGTeImQN5w =PKrB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
