I have tried linux for pro audio work, and the base systems are horrifically bad, ubuntu, arch etc. I have seen some custom built stuff for studios, but thats not anything thats available in the public sphere. It can work, but its not comming cheap and it certainly doesn't seem to be available. Jack also has its issue playing with api's above it.On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 4:41 AM, Simon Taylor <simontaylor1@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:This is might be an unpopular thing to say here(!) but have you considered switching to Linux for TT? I'm clearly a big Haiku fan and want the project to succeed, but if I was in the market for a radio automation system then Haiku it is not a platform I would choose to use, regardless of how excellent your software may be on top.I see the pragmatism in your reply, but the audio system on Linux is horrible, I would never build any commercial system with it. I mean Linux couldn't even mix audio streams with Alsa, and PulseAudio has been troublesome since it came out. And I say this as someone who generally likes Linux and uses it a lot in my work.
Haiku also has superior performance to winxp/7 in terms of latency round trip soft mixing. Which is something I imagine TuneTracker has a real need for.
