What format are the waves? 44100KHz 16-bit, simple PCM waves without any sound sample synthesizer format? > let me know : are you musician ralf ? Yes, I'm a musician. This is my second hardware that isn't fine with pro-audio Linux and even if you will have better luck, it depends to your needs, if you will be fine with Linux. > can i hear somewhere homestudio music made by linux only (i mean, no > hardware except the pc !), just to ensure linux is the good choice > (after 8 weeks of tests, i'm not sure right now)) Please search for it by using google. I would say it's possible to do professional audio work in home studios by using Linux only. I'm very poor for an European and had bad luck with my motherboards, if you have some money it should be possible to get the right hardware and maybe the hardware you have is fine with Linux. When you are talking about homerecording I guess you don't need polyrhythm. Polyrhythm often is needed to fix sound effects to film, while you wish to change the tempo of the music. Extravagant features like this aren't advantages of Linux. Depending to the music you make, you might hear that sync isn't perfect. I wasn't able to do a job becauase of Linux and now there will be another project, so I'll have to repair my Atari ST running Cubase 3.1. Even if your hardware is fine with Linux, you won't get such a good sequencer for Linux, but I think for most needs you don't need a sequencer like Cubase. I'm not familiar with Ardour, but this seems to be a professional hard disk recorder, only the mixer seems to be less good than those for expensive Windows and MacOS digital audio workstations. A very good application is JAMin. It's one of the best compressors I ever heard and as an audio engineer I heard very expensive tube compressors. Those expensive tube compressors have a better sound quality, because of no dither and no sound card, but the compression wasn't better. The question is, what does fit to your needs and to your ears. Maybe you can use Linux even if there will be some handicaps for you. Linux isn't a company, the community is sharing knowledge. There are non-free algorithms for digital signal processing, that are better than those free and open once for Linux, but the commercial thinking of companies can't be the future. We need free and opened knowledge. > anyway, thank you for the reply and have a nice night > > fred > > ps: does HTH means "hope to help" ? Thank you, have nice night too. HTH is for 'hope this helps'. Ralf
