Assuming this an open question, I&#39;ll share my thoughts...<div><br></div><div>I love Linux audio for its ideology and the huge efforts of its contributors (something beyond my capabilities). But I do find I&#39;m constantly&#39; battling against the elements&#39;. Ardour 3 closes spontaneously during sessions, xruns are unavoidable under certain circumstances no matter what settings I use and there seems to be a limit as to which plugins will work alongside one another (e.g. QSynth and JAMin can only be used with a very light Ardour load).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I understand many won&#39;t have these problems, but that&#39;s the point -Linux audio&#39;s stability varies from system to system and that&#39;s the only negative thing about it compared to corporate OS/Audio. The engineering process sometimes sucks the life out of my creativity because I spend more time searching for solutions to tech problems than revelling in the creative musical process.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But I love it. When working well it has everything I need, the design of it is great and I love the jack system. It will, with a few hitches, allow me to record my music without having to take out a bank loan.</div>
