I've been doing 30-track editing on a P4 system with 512 MB memory, no problem at all, Ardour handled that very well. That was just editing, mixing with a lot of plugins etc. could be another matter. The *only* case when I've seen it fail was strangely enough when recording just a single stereo track on a dual quad-core machine with 4GB of memory. Input was coming from firefox playing a Youtube video, routed via ALSA's Jack plugin, and recording failed repeatedly with 'your hard disk was not fast enough' messages. Yet that same system does 80-track sessions without a wink. So I'm pretty sure firefox is the one to blame here. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
