Hello, i am working quite intense on lerning ARDOUR by doing. Using its beta i exrerience some bugs that are more or less tolerablein such great an App for no cost (crashes when trying some adventurous routing-stuff, some lesser gui-issues). After all there are only 2 really serious problems: 1.)Importing .wav-files fails too often (regardless if these files are written by Samplitude, Audacity, rezound or even Ardour itself) How is that on your setups out there? 2.)Many xruns, (some after 2 seconds, others after 2 mins, mostly within 40 secs or so - sometimes i had testrecordings of unbroken 10 minutes) I use Ardour on SuSE 8.2 pro with jack0.74 as root only on runlevel 3 in Windowmaker, all networking is off, no kdeinit is running. System is: Athlon XP 1800, 512MB DDR, 60GB Samsung HD/IDE, Terratec EWX 24/96 I think about wether i buy another IDE-HD and spread the installation on 2 disks to get more bandwith or getting another 512 RAM to let Jack run without HD or investing in a SCSI-HD for installation and Projects and using the IDE-Disk for Archiving only. What would you prefer, how are your Experiences about this Bandwithissues? Thank you
