I think, it is more or less the same as capable. In Linux you can have much better results with cheap hardware since the drivers do not try to implement any marketing policies- there is only one Linux driver for all cards, that come with a given chipset so you get the same driver for a cheap card with a decent chipset as you get for a pro-card with the very same (there are cards out there for Euro 50 and for Euro 500 - all with the same envy24-chip...). It takes a bit more configuration to make the stuff run but basically all of this is a 30-min point/click operation and should be done within a day even for someone, who has installed Linux the first time. In the end you can do the same: run your computers soundsystem stable with latencies below 10ms (and down to freakin fractions of a single millisecond, if you run one synth and a simple recorder only...) > true, that would be a big deal for me.

Depends: I mostly record guitars/vocs etc accompanied by programmed drum loops - I have to programm the drums with a standalone seq plus sampler for Ardour 2.7 does NOT have MIDI-Tracks. I also use a standalone Guitar-Amp emulation for its quite clumsy to build an amp in ardour itself, so its basically the same, as if I would record from a real amp - - very OK with me... In the end I am perfectly happy with it and get quite OKayish results: http://lapoc.de/demos/lapoc-sos-ashita-141008.ogg - and that result-thing is, what one is out for is it not ? ;-) > What other music/audio apps are so great? Specimen (Sampler), Seq24 (fast, trustable sequencer), Hydrogen (Drumsequencer-suite), Rosegarden (big sequencer with scoreeditor), Qtractor (lean and mean audio/MIDI sequencer), AMS (great powerfull Modular-Synth - I build my guitamp with that), LMMS - fruityloops-like sequencer with a set of his own plugins.... A diversity of synths and more and more cool FX-plugins (LADSPA and LV2) we saw 2 new great releases of plugin-sets in this very week... There is a lot... But be careful: about 50% of the software available is abandoned/not working/experimental - all the tools named above belong to the other 50%.... see you ;-) HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkl+Sx4ACgkQ1Aecwva1SWPauwCfWs6y1fEDLZNL9wSML0pF6LMo AYcAni2ThufZQU5s5o4seUBucBoGxlJm =hGYi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
