- themodelplumber 5y agoSome Qs I've had about this recently in case you or someone else could offer insights: Is it realistic to run Ardour for music composition on regular Intel sound hardware these days? Is it still pretty easy to migrate from Ubuntu to (presumably realtime) Studio? Thanks for any input; I'm interested in Ardour, Jack, etc. but not "buy new sound card" interested, as LMMS on ALSA is not too bad for what I do.
- speed_spread 5y agoArdour does not have significantly higher requirements than other audio software and should work just fine with any decent-ish machine. The audio interface is really up to you, it's just a matter of sound quality. If onboard audio suits you, then who are we to judge? I myself used the onboard audio with an external mixer for quite a while. I've since upgraded to a 24 track FireWire rig assembled from cheap used hardware that no longer ran on Mac or Windows because of obsolete drivers. In-tree drivers is major advantage of Linux when it comes to hardware support.
- marcan_42 5y agoYou don't need a fancy card for music production if you're not recording external audio. As long as it has decently good quality output and you're either using amplified speakers, a headphone amp, or it has a good enough internal amp, you can get away with internal audio. You'd be surprised at how many music producers do all their work on a laptop and headphones these days. If you just want to mess around, any internal card will do for sure. This applies to all DAW work on Linux regardless of what app you use. LMMS, Ardour, it's all the same. JACK runs peefectly fine on internal cards.
