True. 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.
Most probably it was flash draining all CPU or something.
For this use case I'd recommend using something, such as youtybe-dl
(which also provides a nice --extract-audio flag), to download the audio
contents and then just import that into Ardour.
