Hello!
I'm looking for the best multitrack for linux. I was used audacity,
and protux.
I think that ardour is the best [just only reading the features and
watching screenshots] but I have a problem with jackd.
What is the best multitrack, hard disk recording for linux?
Anyone have jackd working with es1370 chipset? [sound blaster awe
128]
I have a Turtle Beach montego... but is a little bit difficult to
compile the module for me [vortex 1]
thanks a lot,
Félix

Félix,
Ardour is the correct answer. I was using SLAB prior to Ardour (it's
pretty nice but not on the same level). When I first started with
Ardour I was using an es1371. Check out
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html to get an
idea of what's involved (I haven't updated since the tarballs came out
so it's a bit easier now). Also, "Planet CCRMA at home" has a ton of
stuff and is the easy way to get started on Red Hat
(http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/).

What about ecasound? I have used it as a multitrack a lot of time ago (years) successfuly.
http://www.eca.cx
It's powerful and quite easy to learn|understand|use.

I was working with ardour and it looked really good. But then I kept
running into problems with Jack also. So I went back to using ecasound.
It's a command line multitrack recorder, but does a lot more, (like fx,
file conversions, ladspa plugins...). I plan on getting Jack running
some day. But for now, I can do everything I need with ecasound. It's
very stable and powerful. And there's a very good Front End called
"tkeca". But I would wait for the next version of tkeca because the
developer said that He will be working on fixing some bugs and/or adding
certain features. But the last version of tkeca was promising. But if
you don't mind a command line multitracker go with ecasound. I recomend
using the "-c" option. It puts it in "interactive mode" so that You
can
do "t" to start, "fw xx" to fast forward xx seconds, "setpos
xx" to seek
to xx seconds into the recording (just to name a few).
By the way, if you use Midnight Commander (file utility program),
ecasound becomes much easier to work with because you can create a bash
script with all of the ecasound settings in it and press enter to run
it. then You can press F4 on the file and make changes with the Midnight
Commander's internal editor and and then simply press enter on the
script file to run it again. You can use Midinight Commander's ablity to
reconize a file type and configure it to use ecasound to play a wav, mp3
or whatever file format you're using, so You can quickly view a single
track if nesesary. ecasound also has a few of it's own file formats that
you can use along with Midnight Commander also for "quick viewing" or
testing of things. I found this set up to be a quick way to make
changes, view things quickly and record quickly and efficiently.
type "mc" into the bash shell to see if you have Midinight Commander
installed.

Besides, I'm not sure whether either of them is being actively worked on
any more. The last minor release of Anthem (0.0.17?) was over a year
ago according to its SourceForge page, and the last Brahms snapshot was
an informal one from last October.
I don't want to suggest that either project is actually dead, because
the Rosegarden project used to look dead for several years and it's
very active now... well, okay, maybe it was sort of dead at the time.
Anyway, I guess at least I'd like to know if anyone else here has any
more information about what's happening with either of them.

I hope I am not spreading the wrong info but I know Cinelerra was
orriginally a multitrack recorder. It seems rather intuitive at
recording many tracks at once. The thing I think that is not intuitive
about is overdubbing or recording a track 3 while listening to tracks 1
and 2 that gave been previously recorded. If it is possible it totally
went over my head. I tried unclicking the record on tracks one and two
while leaving record on then I figured I could either hit r to open up
the record window. That did not play the tracks one and two while I was
trying to record. I also tried it in the main window by adding an extra
track and then I did not have a clue on how to record from that. I
believe you could actually record with bcast2000 from the main window.
I have alot of mixed feelings about Cinelerra It has a beautiful gui
that for the most part has gotten alot more intuitive since bcast2000.
It kind of bothers me that it is so difficult to compile and that for
the most part it is only for x86. The reason for this is because it has
hand made assemly code in it. I heard some people tried to port it
to it to the ppc but it was not incredibly stable. I like many of the
features. Don't get me wrong it has some incredible features. I just
wish that I think there is only one guy working on it and he does not
accept patches from developers and there is no cvs.

There's a copy in the audio turnkey package. At least there used to be.
I'm sure you can get it elsewhere as well. Mandrake, maybe?

I know that you can get the code, betas, backups, etc...

It is difficult to compile. You can get it from planet ccrma though.
