Hello. Welcome. I'm fairly new here too but have already got some great advice and now my system is runing well and performing great. If you are just doing simple editing, I would highly recommend Audacity. It doesn't need all the low-latency stuff to get going and can do multitrack with ALSA support. Should be fine for 4 tracks. -l[e^2] ------------------------------ http://www.fallingforward.net/ people experimenting with music, art and technology On Sun, 20 Jul 2003, Mr. Spock wrote: > Greetings > > I've got just back on this list after a year of lurking and learning more > Linux.
