Hi, Im a long time linux user but in the music area im stuck to windows. I use Ableton live and my actual interest is to control virtual instruments hosted by Live with pd and then record them. My notebook is not super powerful (2 core, 2gb ram) and i tough that maybe Linux will be more stable in a live performance involving PD, Gem and a vst host. So, is linux really more stable/faster, specially in the GEM area (i find it very resource hungry)? and is Ardour a good alternative for Live as a host? I just read that Ardour 3 is finally out, seems a big update. This is not a windows vs linux or ardour vs live, i want to know the real experience of people in this kind of workflow. Of course that ableton is for live situations and ardour a clasic DAW, but in this case the clip launching of live isn't necessary.
