Re: [Alsa-user] New Soundcard - What to get!?

[Bent B. J. <de...@da...>]

The thing is, I'm front man in  a band, and also the comnposer of the 
music that we play (sort of symphonic metal!). Up until now I have been 
using sound studios for windows (which I have found rather sloppy!) but 
since the rest of my software run in linux, I have finally desided to 
make the work of finding a good sound studio for linux.
I hav now done so. I'ts called "Rosegarden" and (as far as I have read) 
it supports the features I need for composing music (Combined MIDI and 
wav samples).
But I hit my head on the MIDI interface!
My Live Value card works perfectly well with the pcm output (also 
multichannel support), but I have found no documentation saying that eh 
MIDI interface should be implemented in the EMU10k1 driver.
-
Currently I'm reinstalling my system (got sort of sick of the 
nonstandart RH8) this time I'll try the Debian 3.0rc1.
I have found the missing drivers to be included in the kernel v 2.5.x, 
but have not been able to make it run on my system.

Rosegarden makes use of both ALSA and JACK.

If you need more info to help me, please write back! :-)

Thanx for the quick reply!
