I've got just back on this list after a year of

Linux. The audio software is developing amazingly, so I finally took the
plunge and ordered an RME Hammerfall DSP Digiface and a couple of Frontier
Tango24 A/D convertors, when I noticed a bargain at Turnkey in London (UK).
Awesome.
So I'll at last be entering a world of sound, to
edit a few years worth of
DAT tapes, instead of sitting here in silence listening to my PC fans
(well, my CD player too!).
Awesome.
I'm running Debian on a few Pentium III 450MHz
machines I've got here; I'd
been planning to get a dual Athlon system but decided to wait (forever? :)
until they are cool enough to run quietly. For the time being I just need
to edit stereo and 4-track recordings, so 450MHz should do.
Here is where I _highley_ recommend the program 'sweep'. No offense to the
authors of audacity, but I just find it to be a very clunky program to use.
Sweep is very very similar to the program 'soundforge' on win32. It has
recently been jackified thanks to Torbin Hohn (thanks Torbin!). You have to
download his patches to sweep which you can find on the linux-audio-dev
mailing list. Anyway, here is the link to sweep:

Have fun!
