[06:04] <BrianC> hello everybody, are there any resources on what hardware to buy if I were to build a desktop or laptop specifically for ubuntu studio?
[06:18] <hansfbaier> BrianC: M-Audio Delta cards and RME are great for linux
[06:19] <hansfbaier> BrianC: I have the M-Audio Delta1010lt a great budget card
[06:19] <hansfbaier> BrianC: If you have more money, buy an RME
[06:19] <BrianC> awesome. i'm going to check that out
[06:19] <BrianC> thank you sir
[06:19] <hansfbaier> BrianC: For Laptop RME Hammerfall DSP is probably the only option
[06:20] <hansfbaier> you get killer low latency
[06:20] <hansfbaier> But you need cardbus
[06:20] <hansfbaier> or expresscard
[06:20] <hansfbaier> BrianC: USB interfaces are possible to but latency isn't nice and not all work
[06:20] <hansfbaier> BrianC: check out alsa-project.org
[06:21] <hansfbaier> BrianC: You might want to avoid firewire
[06:21] <hansfbaier> BrianC: y/w
[06:21] <BrianC> dang 500 bones for hammerfall dsp
[06:22] <hansfbaier> BrianC: That's not all, you still need the Multiface
[06:22] <hansfbaier> BrianC: I have an Edirol UA-25 for Laptop
[06:22] <hansfbaier> BrianC: works very well with Linux
[06:23] <hansfbaier> BrianC: but latency is somewhat above 10ms
[06:23] <hansfbaier> BrianC: If latency is not such a concern (you don't need realtime effects/plugins), you can get away with direct monitoring
[06:23] <hansfbaier> of many USB2 cards.
[06:24] <hansfbaier> Check out alsa-project.org for support
[06:24] <hansfbaier> BrianC: Don't forget googling too
[06:24] <BrianC> i'm there man, thanks for all the info
[06:25] <hansfbaier> BrianC: This might be interesting for you too:
[06:25] <hansfbaier> http://alsa.opensrc.org/Alsa_Preferred_Soundcards
[06:26] <hansfbaier> But the page is pretty dated.
[06:26] <hansfbaier> y/w
[06:26] <hansfbaier> got to go now.
[06:26] <hansfbaier> Bye!
[06:26] <hansfbaier> Have a good day
[06:26] <BrianC> thanks, you too
