hey all. there's a good possibility the studio i work at is going to be getting an ssl e-series, a 2" tape machine, and a 1/4" mastering deck. I've been mulling over some different ways of incorporating these into our daw system (digital performer/apogee/motu).

Has anyone here ever used [="http://ardour.org Ardour DAW[/]="http://ardour.org Ardour DAW[/]? I want to run it on Linux ... any thoughts / advice? ps it's free ...facepalm

And the winner is, exactly what I use for tracking and hybrid stem mixing. However, sound quality and clocking is a different animal and not to be confused over these test results. I use a Prism Orpheus for capturing my 2-bus and as you can see, its way down on the list.

I'm going to use my audio interface to record my friend when I travel. He uses garage band and I use Cubase and I heard garage band doesn't export tracks. Is this true and how would I be able to use it when I comeback from florida onto cubase?

Hi All,

Just a quick question (I hope :rolleyes:): For a DAW is it then preferred to use a 32 or a 64 bit system? I'm considering Samplitude as a recording software (but not only this software), will use win7, and need a quite fast machine that is also future proof (to the extent possible) ...

Thanks for any insights you may have :redface:

Jesper

Hey guys Im new to Recording.org. I do have a question real quick if yall can get back to me on this, I am using Logic 9 right now and the CPU usage is so high its always crashing. Any suggestions on a great DAW that can run any Plugins/Vsts/etc. That will not crash?

I have got to the point where i need to build a new PC as a DAW as my old Athlon machine just won't cut it anymore with all the new software i am running
i.e. Superior Drummer 2.0, EZKeys, Pod Farm plugins etc. Also I want to upgrade to using Pro Tools 10.

The question is for Audio am i better with a xeon or an i7?

Greetings everyone,

First off, I would like to say hello to everyone.

I have a feeling the next big buzz is going to be new DAW controllers. I am so sick of a mouse so I'm looking forward to whats ahead.
