Re: [linux-audio-user] Opening up the discussion

As I explained in an earlier post, I did MIDI when we were still using DOS, but audio was (at that time) far without reach - with *any* operating system. Audio was still pre-ADAT, so we're talking 24-track tape machines... Coming back now and learning about USB-MIDI and kernel latencies seems harder than I thought, because nowadays' machines are way faster than these in the old days (I started with a 286 and later had a P1). Now I'm reading since days, and still I don't really figure out basics like: are you guys still on kernel 2.4.x? Is it my attempt to use 2.6 which gets me into trouble? The first versions of Cubase (on Atari and later on PC) I saw *were* somewhat fire&forget, so I see the point of the whole discussion (I think). Is it easier nowadays? If we speak only Linux, then maybe (with regards to DeMuDi and the planet), but if we see the big picture and think about the time in between and the demand of a "simple" musician who wants to plug & play, then there maybe is a point to that article on O'Reilly. Note that I *don't* want Windoze back. I'm a sysadmin, and my life would be much easier without it ;-) cheers, wjl - -- Key ID 0x728d9bd0 - public key available at wwwkeys.de.pgp.net Honda NTV '94 still running on fuel - everything else here runs Debian GNU/Linux
