[linux-audio-user] Newcomer to the list

Greetings I've got just back on this list after a year of lurking and learning more Linux. The audio software is developing amazingly, so I finally took the plunge and ordered an RME Hammerfall DSP Digiface and a couple of Frontier Tango24 A/D convertors, when I noticed a bargain at Turnkey in London (UK). So I'll at last be entering a world of sound, to edit a few years worth of DAT tapes, instead of sitting here in silence listening to my PC fans (well, my CD player too!). I'm running Debian on a few Pentium III 450MHz machines I've got here; I'd been planning to get a dual Athlon system but decided to wait (forever? :) until they are cool enough to run quietly. For the time being I just need to edit stereo and 4-track recordings, so 450MHz should do. I really welcome the advice you guys have poured into this list, and am looking forward to joining in the banter, instead of sitting on the fence. Malcolm Smith http://www.canopus22.demon.co.uk/
