Bookmarked, and reading as I write - thanks for sharing those links. I am in the process of freeing up an older machine after a hardware upgrade, so when thats finished I could try out some of the more dedicated distros for audio work. I had 64 Studio, and Ubuntu Studio lined up. I've added AV Linux to that list. > Have installed it but am still working out ( when I have time) how to > get guitar into PC etc. Just dabling so cant advise whether its useful > or not My reasoning behind trying out my slightly aged but loved HD8 as a control surface is I have a 'tactile' (not sure if that's the word I was after) approach to recording. When I stuff up a take, or am tweaking a volume level adjustment, etc, I barely look at the unit - I just reach out my hand, and nudge the slider for example. Or _feel_ for the 'record' button. I'd lose that approach I'd imagine relying on a DAW on a PC without that piece of hardware sitting in front of me. So perhaps the best of both worlds could be achieved for myself with the control surface setup? I'm not sure. Might be trying though. -- Trevor D.
