[ardour-users] OS X Ardour - Any Presonus users?

[Mark Knecht]

So that sounds like a Jack/Ardour issue. If Cubase SX works then the
hardware is fine under OS X.

I'm looking to buy a unit that would fill potentially 3 slots:

1) OS X recording using a Mac app

2) OS X recording using an X app like Ardour

3) Eventually Linux based FreeBob recording should I need it.

I don't suppose anyone has tried Stephane's new Jack server with this
yet, have they?

Thanks,
Mark
