[linux-audio-user] Building a Multitrack home studio

[Matt Henley]

Just a question, I was looking at building an inexpensive studio for
playing around at the house.  One unit that looked promising with 2
XLR with phantom power was the Edirol UR-80:

Based on what I have seen in the kernel checkin logs, it appears that
this would work for recording... what would be required to get the
control surface to work with Ardour?

Thanks 
Matt Henley
