Hello,
Can anyone give me some input on minimum hardware requirements for single
track recording/playback? This machine will be updated later for
multitrack, but right now I have the following to use:
celeron 1 gig
256 or 512 megs ram
40 gig or 80 gig ata100 ibm harddrive
soundblaster live value
I may end up doing dual pentium 3 866 and 512 megs (or more) depending on
how my upgrading goes (this is my old machine).
I run would be running either slackware 8.1 or 9 with the alsa, jack,
audacity/ardour combination.
Any input would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

This is plenty, plenty.

This is plenty as well.
For recording, you don't even need so much CPU power. Much ram and
fast fat hard disks are more important. But even if you do a lot of
synthesis the 800-900 MHz class is quite powerful. I use an Athlon 900
in my main machine a lot with Pd. My new laptop has a Celeron Mobile
1.3 GHz which feels faster but my main machine doesn't actually feel
slow at all.
Of course you can do things, that kill a 1 gig processor but you can
do things as well, that kill a 2.5 gig CPU.
ciao

I'm thinking about a page with common hardware recommendations at
djcj.org... Something like a table:
Hardware unit | Purpose 1 | Purpose 2 | Cost
--------------------------------
name of unit | is good | isn't good | $$$

Bryan,
Check out my page at
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html. It covers a
lot of this ground with a lot of links to other info.
