ok, an update after playing with the new daw today...
The plusAll sofware works.
I can use Audacity with all LADSPA plugins, I've tried an audacity project with 18 tracks and all went well.
Allso resolved the problem with the import of a win audacity project
Note : You must be sure that the project rate is the same !
The sample rate of the project isn't stored with the project.
Audacity works with alsa & jack.
Rosegarden works, I've tested it with the native synths and allso with the soundfont player. Pretty good software.
Dindn't test it yet with the routing of the midi trough jack.
Ardour is a great piece of software and pretty easy to learn, if you know how a hardware mixing desk works, it's pretty simular to a hardware desk.
Hydrogene is a great drumming machine !!
The minus Something went wrong with Ardour....
I had a project with 8 tracks and around 20 plugins on different tracks, my laptop handled it without any problem. At the end of the work, I saved the project as an ardour project.
When I restarted Ardour and tried to load the project, Ardour just said to me that he couldn't read the project file
And i have no idea what went wrong...
The mastering software Jamit is unusaeble on my laptop, when i load it together with ardour and connected trough jack, i get CPU spikes of 100 % and the whole user interface gets incredible slow...
Connected with audacity trough jack it is a 'litle' bit better but still unusable.
Not a big deal for me, I don't know anything about mastering and have some friends here that know a lot about mastering
All in all it is a good result, I think i will have fun with this configuration.
