Can anyone help me with some pros and cons comparing these two programs?

Harrison Mixbus 4 vs Reaper 5.40

For today's purpose, I am running Ubuntu with XFCE. I do not have an interface picked out yet, so that can be factored into the discussion.

Many moons ago, I won a contest from recording.org for a copy of Sonar 8.5 Producer's edition. I have been happily running the software on a Windows 7 desktop.

That machine has gone on to a better place so now I am putting together a new desktop. I am looking into running a Linux system (but may just do a dual OS install for audio).

Hi
I'm a complete noob and want to record track by track (me alone) and so some sequencing/looping.
I plan to build the following setup:
1. A linux machine with rt kernel
2. ECHO Audiofire 4 (yet to buy)
3. mic to define (sm 58?, some diy with WM-61A?) to record voice and conga/kalimba/bongo (yet to buy)
4. Line in from Rockman + Guitar

Hi,

I hope this is the right part of the forum to post this in :)

I am sick to the back teeth of Windows and want to jump over to Linux (probably Ubuntu). But, I have an Edirol FA-101 audio interface and from what I can see this is not supported at all by Linux, is that right?

Have you or do you use Linux and Linux recording software?
What are your thoughts and where can you see Linux going for the studio?

Okay here is a wonderful question for everybody. Are there any good linux based audio recording programs, I basically need a 2 track editor, and on very rare occasions mulitracking.

Hello!

What would you suggest as the best sound editor for Linux?

I am fed up of Windows and am happy to use Linux for web and email but I need an audio editor. Currently I use CoolEdit Pro. I like its large host of features and ease of use.

Hi All, I am new to the forums. My question in this post drove me to googlethe problem, and now I stumble upon this gargantuan resource that is called recording.org.

Nirvana?...No, but close to it. Great forums that have in the last hour answered gazillions of questions that I had from years. So Many thanks to all of you that post/posted over time.

Awesome!

Is anybody out there successfully using Linux based audio applications? If so, which programs are making you happy?
