This is a very good point. I've looked at Ableton Live and although overall nice, it is not easy to find a supported sound cards list. emailing them does not work in Firefox/Linux (403 errors or unresponsive web page). I did find a thread in German (from last month) that reports latency problems with the 1010LT card (should be thrown away...), and recommends a RME. If it's a problem with the 1010LT and Windows drivers (certainly do not have latency problems with Ardour on Linux) then I might be in for learning more about Windows that I'd want to, in order to make it work (eg. provide support :) FL studio seems quite good too, but with perhaps less of that pizz that Ableton has. To bring the thread back to Linux a bit: does this Abelton Live work with using Wine ? Just out of curiosity. For that matter, are VST plugins working in Linux with Ardour (and Wine) ? Is it like 100% go ahead get some, or is it on a per-case basis ? Surely there is no support from the VST plugin makers when running them under Wine in Linux. Thanks again for all the comments ! _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
