Using Linux, keeping the workflow can become a PITA, just by updating
the DE ;), there are no updates for a 8 track analog recorder.
So just buy an already setup, tested, and warranted computer from
someone who knows what they are doing. Then, ***do not update it
yourself*** - use it as is just like a dedicated piece of equipment.
Down the road, get that same person who knows what they are doing to
update it for you or build you a new one.
I am not saying that these problems do not exist, and things can get
better for those who don't mind knowing a bit. I am saying thought
that for the person who does not want to know anything, they can avoid
the knowing somewhat if they will take an approach along the lines
mentioned.
IMO the issue is "stand alone" vs "computer".
Regards,
Ralf
all the best,
