[ardour-dev] ardour2 + behringer BCF-2000 ?

[Christophe Combelles]

thanks!
we will be starting using ardour2 for production in a small studio as soon as 
next monday!! It's probably risky but we like living dangerously :)
(We've tried to use some previous 0.99 simple sessions with success, but once it 
is saved with 2.0, it's unusable on 0.99. )

Just to say, I've also tried vanilla kernel 2.6.16 + rt29 patch, and it gives 
very good results for latency. I still have a few problems with hard drive 
speed. I have two disks as raid0.
I was previously running Sarge with reiserfs for root and XFS for audio.
Now I've switched to dapper with full ext3 eveywhere, it's not better.
When I read just 4 tracks and I ffwd with the roll, it sometimes says that the 
drive is not fast enough. Otherwise I can read 30 tracks at once with no 
problem, but then it stops as soon as I move a window. I guess there are a few 
optimisations problems. (the card is a matrox M400 with xinerama)

regards
Christophe
