This evening I managed to record 30 minutes of nothing with it. Today's job was to try and get vst instruments working under linux. Learning Ardour was going to happen some time next week. I can't do everything at once, but if there are no easy tools to take away some of the pain you end up having to be an instant expert in order to be able to do any creative work. There is also the instablity of many of the linux audio packages to be considered, particularly if you made an unfortunate decision somewhere along the line (SuSE 9.1 in my case - it's fine for a business desktop, but not for audio). The more complex and minority-user-targeted the application the more problems you are likely to have. For what I needed to do this evening I would have used kRecord if it worked with Jack. Something simple that works (unlike me - I am both intensely cerebral and unemployed). Is there Jack support in the Audacity source code? If so that may push me that bit closer to ditching SuSE and going back to Gentoo because Gentoo builds usually do actually build (except on macs). If the audio applications I've got running now are as unstable as they seem and won't play ball with each other I might as well do audio work with a casstte deck and an abacus.
