Nope, no question about it, Audacity is simpler and easier (it's also a
great tool). If you're going to do serious multitrack though Ardour is
worth the effort. It's basically the equivalent of ProTools.
Welcome back! Check out my web site:
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html
Ardour is the best multitrack available but it takes some setup
to get running.
I've documented the scratch setup on my web site (since you
already know your way around Linux this shouldn't be a problem).
So, I went to the Ardour website and checked it out. Seems like
ALSA/JACK/Ardour is a pretty good combination. But I'd like a
little more input from folks who have tried this stuff. Any
comparison tests out there among the various attempts at developing
a Digital Audio Workstation? Ardour seems more robust than Audacity,
yet Audacity seems easier to use. Is this just my newbie sense leading
me astray or is my intuition telling me something?
So how about this one? - Creative Labs SoundBlaster
MP3+ USB Audio unit
Yeah, it's a cheapo, about 40 bucks at Fry's. Anybody using consumer
grade stuff and getting decent (demo qulity) results? Or are the stock
soundcards and/or motherboard sound units all crap? Remember, my last
recordings were on reel-to-reel tape. I'm not looking for pro-studio
2-track ulti-bit quality here. I just wanna make cool music that
sounds clean enough for my friends and fans to play in their car stereos
and MP players.
I've done good demo quality stuff using an Ensoniq PCI card (ens1371).
Basically about the same quality as what you've got.
