Hi folks,
I am running a Delta 1010LT, which is hardly a pro
card, yet capable of reasonable sound and flexibility. The box is an AMD
x64 3ghz dual core, ASUS mobo with 2g RAM and Nvidia graphics card.
Absolutely sufficient I'd say I run 50+ tracks projects on half as that.
If you have a recommendation, tell me what
distro and version you have Ardour, Jack, etc running on that you can
trust your art to! What version of Ardour / JACK is running stable...do
64Studio 2.0 was the most reliable I ever used. Now I run Debian5.0 plus
Dure:Dyne overlay/kernel. It feels the same as reliable but is not that
solid in terms of integration in the DEbian-Repos so I`d recommend to
build Ardour, Calf, Invada and other important stuff on the machine from
source.
If you had a single shot at
recording an all time super hit piece of ART, would you trust your
platform to capture it safely and recreate it cleanly?
Well--- yes...
in 3 years using a Linux machine as a DAW for approx. 800h I had a
single case of a crash while recording. And no case in witch recorded
material was destroyed by some bogus behaviour of a application.(There
was no material destroyed at all that is...).
It is slightely different when it comes to
editing/arranging/sound-design stuff - big plugins in complex set ups
can have unpredictable effects but crashes in heavy work like this are
seldom still.
