Hey, I just recently upgraded my STG2 (Studio to Go, 2) box from: ALSA 1.0.14rc3 jackd 0.102.20fervent-1 qjackctl 0.2.21-1 HDSPMixer 1.6 to: ALSA 1.0.25 jackd 0.121.3 qjackctl 0.3.2 HDSPMixer 1.11 with the assistance of Patrick Shirkey of Boost Hardware. It has resulted in faster smoother performance with an updated modern interface, and most importantly - NetJack! With netjack the updated HDSP interface can be used for recording and monitoring over a network. This permits me to use a backend "mini-supercomputing" cluster for synthesis and AI tasks. Only with Linux can you do these kind of things - no wonder all the big movie studios are Linux shops. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with paying for Linux upgrades and support. In fact, one's money goes alot further because you only pay for what you need newly developed - and the entire community gains to build on that again. Serious media developers use Linux - everything else is "toy town" Regards, Rich Marschall http://www.hydrophones.com/MAI-Audio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
