I noticed that Linux has a kernel specialized for low-latency audio developed by the crew at Stanford University called “Planet CCRMA at home.” There is evidently quite a bit of audio/MIDI software developed for Linux. The most intriguing bit is JACK which is a low-latency audio server and transport control interface.

Anybody have any comments, flames...

Ok, here's a flame... pick a forum and post in it! Once! we'd be happy to have you around here, but this kind of flooding isn't cool. Be patient and someone will probably respond.

Update on using a Tascam 428 on Linux. It appears that the ALSA drivers for Tascam USB devices have recently been added. I havent personally tested them yet, but they are there.

It's really a shame that hardware companies think they need to keep hardware specs a secret. This could have happened more than 2 years ago. .

Well, after a few years of avoiding Linux, I finally took the plunge (again). Well, maybe more of wading in the shallow end at this point. I tried installing it a few years ago, but quickly decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Windows was working just fine for me at the time...these days, it seems that windows is more trouble than it's worth, though...So, here I am.

Merging linux with computing

I would like to thank everyone that contributed to this forum and an extra big thanks to the mods for all the effort. Because The linux forum is slow so I'm merging it with Opus's forum in the next 24 hours. One computing forum seems sufficient.

Cheers!

I just had the oputunity to check out the AGNULA (A GNU/Linux Audio distribution) release 1.0 for RedHat 8.0. The install was very straight forward, and worked well. I just did a fresh install of RedHat Linux 8.0 (including all packages). Then copied all the AGNULA files to a directory and ran the install.sh script.

Ok, guess who just made a deal that he gets one of these cf audio cards, in exchange for working software on ipaq and zaurus running qtopia and opie environments...

hmmm...

There is a group in the process of developing Mastering software for Linux. There is not a web site as of yet, but you can check out the mail list at:

Hi, this is an edit of a post i put on slashdot about VST under linux using vstserver and wine.
