| I agree to disagree :D.
Linux is an excellent platform for audio, it's cheap stable and versatile.
Jack let's you route things anywhere you like, and well the best audio card for linux is the RME Hammerfall 9632 or 9652, which even comes with a software mixer!
Sure I'm all outboard on my part, because I think the plugs aren't that great, but I'm anti plug.
But with the new Harrison mixbus, which soon will run on Linux, you get really good plugs for a very low price. Plus the stability and the route naything anywhere approach! I have been working for a long time in Linux now and I like it. The Ardour DAW has been supported by several companies including SSL, SAE, and Harrison to name a few. And Harrison has been helping improving this DAW for years, and years to come.
So Price quality wise, you get a lot for less.
And with Jack you can even transport audio realtime via network to another Ardour DAW anywhere on this planet..
And ont jte plus side, Ardour is cheap, but doesn't look cheap. I'm as comfortable sitting behind Protools as Ardour.
But that's just my 2 cents |
