Hello dear list,
I was thinking of buying a IBM Thinkpad (not sure which model yet) and a RME Fireface, to do both live and "dead" electronics. I had some experience with linux before, but now I wanted to go deeper in it (but also have windows on the side for emergencies). Has anyone had any experience with either from these devices?
I don't have any experience with them, but firewire audio support in linux is practically non-existent. It seems people are working on it, but if you want something that just works and are unwilling or unable to do some fairly heavy coding I wouldn't use it.
It may be very different in a year though. RME is pretty good at giving their specs to driver developers.
