Sad news for you guys (maybe)

[Atealtha]

after many many endless nights in a row experimenting with Linux, I must throw in the towel for now. I admit I learned a LOT during the past week. And I accrued quite a number of posts here, sharing and learning from you guys. But I can't stick with Linux too long.

Music is a big part of me, and right now, seeing how I cant fully utilize my sound card nor find a music creation software equivilent to Reason, Linux is not for me, at least not yet. There was a use for Linux, but now I have a WAMP setup, and am going to continue my web developement with Xemacs.

I'll still be around the forums. Maybe not as much. And when I buy my new system (whenever that may be) I hope you guys will guide me so I have 110% hardware compatibility.

Thats about it :rolleyes:

Need I say more?

Here is one hell of a collection of sound/music editing/recording/authoring software for linux. There are more but these are the ones that I liked the most.

I guess no one really minds if you step it aside for a little while. We'll be more then happy to welcome you back to the fold. What might bother a few people is that you posted about it. The best idea might have been simply not to show up for a while. Its cool though, when ever your ready, drop back. I always thought MS hid subliminal messages in their BsoD's. :p

[Atealtha]

no no, I'm special!

those links are nice, but I cant get sound from my turntables to the computer. Any idea with that? I use audigy platinum.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the thread. (http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68078&highlight=audigy) Hopefully it'll help you. I have the Audigy Platnum myself, and have enabled the RCA inputs from the Audigy Drive.

Of course you did the simple things like turning up the volume on the mixer slide bars.

-I don't think Linux really offers the best multimedia at the present time - personally I think what can be done with a Mac and music accessories is incredible.

I myself am using audigy2 platinum
everything works great here. Check the mixer as CMonster mentioned.

# P4 3.06 ghz CPU.
# Asus P4G8X deluxe.
# 2 gig ddr ram.
# Maxtor ata133 200gig 7200 rpm HD.
# PNY GeForce4 Ti 4800.
# Aopen 16x DVD/CD-rom.
# Mitsumi 52x CD-RW.
# Creative Audigy2 Platinum.
# WinTV-Go tv capture card.
# 2 raid IBM 10,000rpm SCSI 73gig Hds.

haha yes, I made sure all the knobs, sliders, mixer volumes were set. I also made sure to configure /etc/modules.conf /etc/modules.autoload and other emu10k1 files correctly. I still couldnt not get aux1 (or line 3), the mic, and digital in to work. All out ports, digital, headphones, speakers, and I assume spdif works well.

maybe when I have the time I'll dualboot a 'lesser' distro like suse and try it out. thanks for the tips

[CMonster]

yeah, maybe ... SuSE is pretty good -not OS-X goog but okay
