Re: Hard lock-ups plus MOTU UltrLite Mk3

What makes you say the M-Audio stuff is cheap sounding?  I've tested it extensively, right next to almost everything else that does 24/96, and it sounds nearly identical....measures that way, too, with an Audio Precision workstation.  I've had no problems with my Delta 1010 under Linux.

Well, given my experience so far under Linux, maybe switching back to
Windows isn't such a bad idea after all. Maybe I'd finally get some
music made. Of course, if these are hardware issues, I can't really
blame Linux for that. I can blame Linux for its lack of direction and
major fragmentation, but that's just me being a cynic.

There has to be something that works well under Linux that isn't M-Audio
mediocrity. If the only choices are M-Audio (cheap, and sounds like it)
and RME (way too expensive), then I think I'd rather spend my money on
good software that will help me make music.
