I wish ther were pro tools or cubase for Linux :-(
One excellent thing I've discvered is Audacity, it's very basic (beta) but works really well.........that is the windows, MacOS 9, versions. I haven't been able tp try the Linux version yet but I know for a fact that the Mac OS X version is WAY behind the others, if anyone's interested it can be found here http//audacity.sourceforge.net/

I know this is a very old topic, but I just thought this link might be helpful: http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/

Dependencies.

I was just on the Ardour page and i was wondering about these dependencies:

 
quote:Requirements
System Level
I recommend that if you want to run Ardour, you use a 2.4 series
kernel with Andrew Morton's low latency patch applied. You can find his patches
here.
You will also need the latest version of the ALSA drivers, 0.9 series.
You will also need the latest version of JACK, the Jack Audio Connection Kit, which Ardour uses
as its underlying audio engine, and as a mechanism to share data and run in sample sync with
other applications.

Now firstly, should i need a patch applied to the kernel? will it harm my kernel if i do get this patch? what's the deal?

Secondly, how can i find out if i have the latest ALSA drivers, and what exactly are they responsible for and so on?

Thirdly, Jack Audio Connection Kit, looks like i will have to get that, and hope that it does not have any dependencies of it's own.

I am not asking a specific question here, really just asking about ALSA drivers and kernel patches, how necessary they are, what i can expect while installing this program and its dependencies (remember i am not used to installing and so forth in linux) and so on...

I recently setup my analog cassette recorder so I could run it through my sound card (line-in jack).  I successfully copied an analog cassette as a .WAV file, and then burned it DAO to a CD-R.  I didn't need to change anything, just did the mechanical hookup.  I'm using LibraNet 2.0, based on Debian "Woody" with kernel 2.16.
