Ardour is pretty great, but I'm not so sure the state of audio in general on linux is. Granted last time I struggled (as in a couple of days of trying out different things with god know how many different audio subsystems there were at the time) with it is about 5 years ago but it still seemed impossible to get a configuration with really low I-O latency (say <10mSec), nor did it 'just work' as on the other two main operating systems. Is this better with Ubuntu Studio? Does it work nicely with e.g. RME cards?
- mmjaa 10y agoFor almost a decade now, I have had rock solid, high-performance audio running on my multi-channel DAW running Ubuntu Studio. Rock solid. Better than Pro Tools. How? I chose my hardware wisely. In my case, I've got two Presonus Firepod FP-10 interfaces, which work out of the box with JACK. Truly superlative Firewire audio interfaces, and I chalk that up to the fact that the Bridgeco chipset used in these devices was developed in a pro-Linux environment. Of course, ymmv .. especially if you fall into the PulseAudio trap, which is designed - imho - to make Audio suck on Linux as much as possible. Not so with Jack and Firewire audio - in this case, its the best possible combination of audio hardware and software components, given superlative latency and multi-channel I/o capabilities ..
