Renato Fabbri <renatoftato@xxxxxxxxx>: > -what is ardour oposed to cubase? can it do everything > as well? Two obvious differences: Cultural background and Ardour's lack of MIDI tracks. The latter is asked for by many, it's lack raising eyebrows on a regular basis. Personally I couldn't care less. You can sync a MIDI sequencer to Ardour/JACK. The former is underrated, neglected even, I think. Your question "Can it do everything as well" is serious bait I cannot resist :) Cubase actually did some things well when I last laid hands on it (SX), like editing stuff being close to fool-proof (me being the fool), unified and very accessible, good gui. Some things appeared to be outright ridiculous though, like limited bus/track counts. The Ardour/JACK infrastructure could be called "bare-bone routing monster" and works very well and reliable. There are issues, some deep, but none that seem to prevent people from recording albums with it. > -I´ve heard about linux/jack/alsa not working well > above 48KHz. Seems waaky to me, but..? and 24 bit? You've heard wrong. Certain audio interfaces might have problematic alsa drivers, true. I believe some of those driver issues would turn out to be vendor issues really. > -Linux and Vst do well? It's very usable but it's a hack and it resembles much an arranged marriage: Practical maybe and definitely not happy (License issues preventing the distribution of vst enabled binaries, gui issues etc.).
