[linux-audio-user] how to build a studio?

[Brian Redfern]

You can also get away with slower hardware, right now I'm running my whole
studio off my pIII 833 laptop machine with the quattro interface via
usb. I don't do much with jack and softsynths (except composing in
csound), mostly what I'm doing is using linux to develop samples, then I
load then into my asrx pro and use rosegarden4 to sequence and sweep to
record and edit.
