Hello Charlie I've never tested debian per ser as a mm system, just used 64studio 3.3b which is based on debian also and it worked as a charm. Now I'm using ubuntu 9.10 with 2.6.31-9 rt kernel from official repositories and I works very well also. I've compiled last RT kernel from pengutronix and it worked great also. (2.6.33) >From what was expressed by 64studio developers a new release (4) will be release in april based on last stable squeeze version.
I think that it will be a good idea to keep in touch with the LAU and LAD mailing lists: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/ In the following links you'll find some information about linux audio distributions and related resources: --- Linux Audio Bundles & Distributions http://linux-sound.org/distro.html http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/linux_audio_bundles_distributions -- Linux Audio and Sound - Application and Software Index http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/start linuxaudio.org resources http://linuxaudio.org/resources Good luck Diego 2011/3/12 Charlie Gray <[email protected]> > > Hi everyone > > I'm trying to build a reliable semi-pro studio to expand on what I can do in > Apple's Logic Express, or make the decision to buy a new mac and run Logic, > though I'd rather not.
