Hi there Linux dudes....I hope you can help a super
green newbie...
I have been recording my entire life in the analog
domain and now I have decided to "Go Linux"...
I am clueless but determined and so far have been
advised that Jacklab as opposed to Ubuntu Studio due
to the low latency factor is the way to go
A reasonable decision. As you get more deeply into this you'll
eventually try other distro's once in awhile. The nice thing is you're
lot locked in.
I have avoided digital for this reason....I have tried
to record in another studio when there was latency and
it drove me nuts....
what do you guys suggest...I would be super
appreciative of any input...
Have you decided what your signal flow wants to look like? Is your
Vaio a laptop? Sorry but I'm not intimate with the whole Sony line. If
it's a laptop then you need to look at USB/1394 type interfaces. If
it's a desktop then you have lots of alternatives. I use RME
HDSP9652's. Nice cards with good Linux audio support. There are other
more simple cards that have great support also if you don't need so
many inputs and outputs.
What sort of pre-existing audio equipment do you need to tie in with?
I will be running a little Sony Vaio a few yeard
old...
I have to say this is an amzing place and you guys
should all be proud of your success at spreading Linux
I will do my bit here in Nashville USA..I am here from
NYC via Scotland....
peace,love and trust the Universe
