I'm freaking out here. I finally got around to trying ardour today. It's AMAZING. Up yours Cakewalk! :-) It's a bit crashy, but if you remember what NOT to do, it runs fine. Sound is great. Works great even without the multimedia kernel, but better with. I'll report of comparisons later. Gotta go record a song I wrote a month ago, but I was wating for audacity to become usable. So much for that.
Moral of the story is, getting our ardour/jack-realtime/kernel-multimedia setup for 9.1 is going to be SO worth it! Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.
