Well, I just bought a M-Audio Quattro interface and some MIDI gear, and Mandrake 9.2 will be released this fall, so my objectives are: 1. Get the damn Quattro working. 2. Get all the MIDI gear working. 3. Get Ardour 1.0 and whatever verison of audacity we ship working well. 4. Get jack-realtime/alsa/kernel-multimedia working properly. 5. Update the Mandrake Audio Workstation HowTo to reflect these changes. Ardour Beta 2 is already out, so I assume 1.0 should be ready by the fall, right? I'm hoping to have my first 100% linux produced song recorded by next week. Thus far I've been working with four-track analogue gear, and ALL my old tapes are fading, hence the Quattro to at least preserve the master recordings. Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.
