I think you really try to be certain you understand

production flow might be like.
This is a very good point. I've looked at Ableton Live and although
overall nice, it is not easy to find a supported sound cards list.
emailing them does not work in Firefox/Linux (403 errors or
unresponsive web page). I did find a thread in German (from last
month) that reports latency problems with the 1010LT card (should be
thrown away...), and recommends a RME. If it's a problem with the
1010LT and Windows drivers (certainly do not have latency problems with
Ardour on Linux) then I might be in for learning more about Windows
that I'd want to, in order to make it work (eg. provide support :)
FL studio seems quite good too, but with perhaps less of that pizz
that Ableton has.
To bring the thread back to Linux a bit: does this Abelton Live work
with using Wine ? Just out of curiosity. For that matter, are VST
plugins working in Linux with Ardour (and Wine) ? Is it like 100% go
ahead get some, or is it on a per-case basis ? Surely there is no
support from the VST plugin makers when running them under Wine in
Linux.
Thanks again for all the comments !
