"And now I need to use my Antares Auto-Tune or a Linux equivalent that
allows a similar workflow, to finish my Katey Perry production. I'll
call Patrick to explain me, how I can use it with Ardour on the Linux

The amateur:
"What distro should I use, what version? What printer should I buy? Why
can't I use my RME card, completely with a GUI, but need to use ALSA
mixer? Why do I have to act on my own responsibility? If I ask the
community how to get the perfect loudness-war mix, why do they call me a
troll and send links to Bob Katz?"
We Linux audio users are a minority.
