I second that emotion Geoff!!
Last weekend I finished 3 days of recording a band. Each day was an 11 hour
day using jack and ardour on FC1 with a 512 buffer. The ONLY xruns occured
when shutting down and restarting ardour to set up a new recording session.
I believe this was discussed in a previous thread. It's a SOLID system and
I'm estatic. I preach the gospel of linux whenever I run into another
persond involved in music. I'm up to my ears in mixing and mastering now and
having a great time.
Keep up the fantastic work everyone - this is an awsome system.
Brad.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] My experiences
Well, my studio has never been such an exciting place
as it has been
this last week. The reason is all those great developers on this and
other groups who have been developing and evolving this most brilliant
audio solution. I am currently running TAP reverbED, JACK Rack using
G2Reverb and Freeverb, Ardour, Qjackctl, Jamin and Rezound all on Planet
CCRMA RH9.
This I call my Linfx machine incorporated into my system of 3 other
standalone Windoze machines. Using a C-Port as an interface (I have 3),
I've integrated the rev's into my send/return network on the desk and
use Ardour to mix to, then Jamin to master.
It runs all day, without any x-runs ( 512 buffer size) and my lust
factor is beginning to grow daily.
Your efforts as a community have begun to pay off; if you setup a
machine properly on the hardware level first, then follow the elegant
and clear explanations provided by Nando (you rule guy!) even a newbie
like me can can get this up and running to this level of totally stable
functionality....for real !
I can't tell you how fantastic it is to be finally using Linux with
these outstanding apps.... and it's looking so good for the future.
My sincere congratulations to
Paul,Jan,Tom,Jack,Nando,Rui,Dave,Steve,Bob,all the LADSPA dev people and
of coarse Linus !
And a very special thanks to Dave Phillips 'cause without him I may
never have heard of any of you !
Very well done.
Geoff.
