So, anyone on a linux system that uses ardour that's willing to get me<br>
started with it?<br>
Maybe best off list?<br>
<br>
I'm an overall computer n00b, but I got Fedora 9 installed, got my Delta1010<br>
working and I was able to record some audio with it.<br>
<br>
My main problem now is, let's call it inconsistent latency. When I record a<br>
few tracks at the time, they are perfectly synced. But when I'm recording<br>
additional tracks, they are shifted a bit. (a few 100 samples)<br>
I think sync points are the answer, but I haven't tried that.<br>
Also this region stuff is very confusing to me...<br>

As long as you are on Fedora there is the marvellous ccrma repository:<br><a href="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/">http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/</a><br>"Planet CCRMA at Home is a collection of rpm packages to transform it into an audio workstation with a low-latency kernel, current audio drivers and a nice set of music, midi and audio applications."<br>
