If ecasound can record in freewheel mode (someone mentioned it can), then really I'm happy enough with that and some console-based MIDI sequencer. I dislike GUI's for most things besides browsing the web, so I think I'll feel at home :) It's really what Ron Parker is talking about, more than anything: once I have the settings perfect and I'm ready to bounce, I want it to happen quickly. But, at the same time, I don't want to have to check every single operation by ear to listen for little glitches because at some point I ran out of CPU power. Anyway, it looks like I've waited just long enough now to switch over (2.6 kernel, freewheel) and again, I appreciate the response. Still interested to know what's up with Ron and Ardour and JAMin though ... Cheers, Chris
