Hi,
I'm, again, going to try to step into linux world, and see if I can do
something more useful with it than visiting webforums this time.
I wanted to ask if someone had any tips for the following configuration to
work with Pd (both vanilla and extended), and maybe later also
supercollider, both only for audio:
- ibm thinkpad r51
- Ubuntu 7.10
- rme multiface
- intuos3 tablet
- arduino board (old model)
Any hints useful for these specs? Are there any guides worth visiting?
Which repositories should I be checking? How to get -1ms latency? Does
Ubuntu studio makes a difference? Why is jack so complicated to start? Is
ardour already working? (last time I saw it in the school's studio, the
only way to have a session open for a long time was not to touch it) ...
... . . .
I'm not a beginner with computers, but I'm not yet very at ease in unix
console, because quite soon it gets very frustrating - although I would
like to learn, but don't have time to be spending on man pages. And I
don't do emacs, or won't go straight to debian.
Thanks for your help,
João Pais
