I can second that.
A2 works production-stable for me both on a quad-core with MAudio 1024
card or Presonus Firebox under Suse 11.2 with jengelh-RT-kernel and on a Thinkpad T60 with MAudio Mobile pro or built-in HDA
under Fedora14/CCRMA
-- with the very same 30+ track projects with dozens
of plugins
including experimental CALF-SVN-Snapshots. With less than 10ms latency.
Nice to hear it.
I suspect problems with the system-setup and/or
kernel.
I have no clue.

You mean: automagically slicing, then "quantizing" everything? I seldom do stuff like that. Remember, that all the
other instruments in
the band have played with the drummer as you have
recorded the material.
Repairing one or 2 glitches in timing may be done with technology-tricks
but if really the complete drum-track is off, would it
not be
considerable to re-record?
At the other hand: if the drums should be "desynchronized" alltogether,
they should be in time internally. so you would not need to slice, just
move the complete regions.
...and problem was related with "lack of auto slicing functionality" but
with difficult navigation / moving clips.
Anyway: the band has actually *played* the songs like this. Within 1.5 h
it should be possible to make a better recording?
Not exactly - access to studio was only one day on saturday, on wednesday
guys wanted to distribute it...
I read that piano roll will be part of ardour3 - thats
sounds very
promising...
yup, a3 might be your cup of tea exactly.
