This is very cool.
Thank you. That's the plan
Some of your feedback is very helpful. Some of it though, I will not add to the howto, because it's already discussed in the Linux Audio Users FAQ.
The main intent of my document was to explain sound daemons and show people how easy it is to set up Mandrake 9.1 for audacity and ardour. The rest is just to make the document more practical and more fun. It is intentionally very Mandrake-specific. I tried to avoid crossover with the LAUG FAQ unless it was from my own personal experiences.
You should consider forwarding your original message to the LAUG FAQ. There's lots for cool info for them. Or you could volunteer to update their FAQ for them.
3. DJ'ing.
Have you tried freej? It's on PLF.
> If you're really serious, use as much outboard gear as you can. I disagree. You want to use as _little_ outboard gear as you can.
Yeah. The way I wrote it is confusing. I meant outboard DAC and outboard preamp is better than DAC and mic preamp used in an SB card. I didn't mean more gear produces better sound. I'll rephrase it.
But everything you do inside the computer is perfectly loss-free.
This is only true for digital signals. Analogue mixer/preamp on consumer grade cards is crappy.
Thanks again, Austin
