Part of the problem is that the Ardour community is not as big as the
Live community, so there aren't lots of people to ask questions or
examples to see. Lluis Carbonell taught the basics of this kind of
Ardour set up in a workshop in Gijon, Spain and I was really
impressed. I had also just downloaded Ardour and poked around and
never really knew what do with it. Seeing Lluis get a room full of
people getting this big Ardour set up going was a great demo.

I have not tried Ardour+Jack+Pd+soft synths yet. I tried downloading
Ardour one time to show my 7th grade math/audio tech student.
However, it was with my G4 PowerBook running OSX 10.4 and was very
shaky. He does like me showing him Ableton though, and even a bit of
Pd!I'll give Ardour+Jack+Pd+soft synths (thanks copy/paste) a shot now
that I have a newer-ish refurbished MacBook with OSX 10.5 on it.
I'll probably end up tossing a Linux distro on here too, so we'll see.I finally got a decent synch between Live and Pd using Live's
external instrument/effects devices. I used SoundFlower and Apple's
IAC MIDI bus, and the test was with Andy's trumpet patch and
fibonnacci reverb. It got me excited about the possibilities. I'm
going to try using Jack again also.It's exciting to try these options. I don't want people to think I'm
a hater!~Kyle

very differently that Ableton Live, but I think that is actually
quite competitive in terms of what you can do with it. It is a
different system that requires as much learning as Live does.You have been able to run Pd patches in tight sync with Ardour and a
multitude of soft synths for years now. You just don't have nifty
little embeddedness. So this really seems to me more a classic
example of the core innovation happening in free software, then
proprietary software taking the ideas and packaging them really
nicely, and promoting them a lot. (I am not saying this is a bad
thing).The iPhone is the classic version of that. The App Store is nice,
you've been able to do that on Linux-based devices since the late
nineties, but mostly with a command line interface..hc

Live is not garbage. Incremental improvement != planned

what you pay for.Open source is great. I appreciate everything that Pd and it's
users stand for. However, trolling about a DAW when the free
alternatives are 5 years back in the dust in terms of optimization,
ease of use, and plain crash-resistance is just silly.Some people prefer to make music, not software. Some people prefer
to make software, not music. Some people prefer to make software

music. Some people make great music but crummy software.~Kyle
