Computer Any 32 or 64 bit Intel-compatible computer (non-Intel hardware can be used if you build Ardour yourself or have someone else build it for you). CPU speed limits the amount of signal processing you can do. Operating System Any version of Linux with a kernel newer than 2.3 and libc version 2.25 or newer. This applies to almost any Linux distribution released in 2009 or later.

RAM 2GB is recommended, more is always better Disk Space Minimum 350MB of free space on /opt to install Ardour. You will want lots more disk space for recording. This need not be on a separate disk but performance will be improved if it is.

Although more or less any Linux Intel/AMD system will run Ardour, the incredible variety of hardware used to build systems running Linux means that your own computer may not be able to run Ardour with the sort of performance you (and we) would like. It is extremely difficult to provide specific guidance about this. It is worth noting that the same problems tend to affect Windows users too. Contrast this with Apple Mac computers, which are built to precise specifications by a single company that actually cares about audio software. We have a slowly growing about some of the hardware issues that can affect Ardour users (and ways to deal with them). You can also find much more information online.

Audio Interfaces. Ardour (and all advanced digital audio software) will work better if you use a professional or semi-professional audio interface that is capable of simultaneous playback and recording. The use of separate devices (e.g. USB microphones combined with your builtin audio) is generally discouraged, though it can be done. Desktop/Server Devices Any ALSA-supported device will function with Ardour, either directly or via JACK. We recommend: 2-4 channels 2-12 channels more than 12 channels more than 26 channels M-Audio Delta 44, 66 or 2496 M-Audio Delta 1010 RME HDSP, RME HDSPe RME MADI.

Acclaimed audio interfaces, studio monitors, and keyboard controllers. This is a really great idea that you have describe about 12-home-studio-necessities-1-computer. I have got more necessary idea from your website. Thank you so much.

Firewire devices Firewire audio interfaces are supported by the, which you should visit to get the latest status on hardware support. We can recommend the following devices from among the many listed there: • Focusrite Saffire Pro series • Echo Audiofire series • RME Fireface 800 & 400 • Edirol FA-101 & FA-66 You will need to use Ardour with the JACK backend if you want to use FFADO with a Firewire device. Very current versions of the Linux kernel will support most of the same devices that FFADO can support, directly via the normal ALSA audio device driver layer. The provides complete details on all USB and PCI hardware support, covering devices from more than 120 manufacturers. Computer Any 32 or 64 bit Intel system. CPU speed limits the amount of signal processing you can do.

Operating System OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). Note that Ardour is an 'unsigned application', so later versions of OS X will ask for extra confirmation the first time you run it.

Arctic Monkeys Discography Torrent Kat here. RAM 2GB is recommended, more is always better Disk Space Minimum 600MB of free space to install Ardour. You will want lots more diskspace for recording.

This need not be on a separate disk but performance will be improved if it is. Audio Interfaces Any device supported by CoreAudio can be used with Ardour, either directly or via JACK.

Alex, how much did you pay for that decade-old unit, Guy? Do you honestly expect drivers are still being written for that long-discontinued item (discontinued long before AVID sold off M-Audio to inMusic), and with these newer 64-bit computers now flooding the market? Even Trigger Finger Pro (brand new units can easily be found for as low as only $149.99 -- the complete kit!

See if you can get a refund and rid yourself of that dinosaur and get on the bandwagon with TFPro, son! And before buying used gear, go online and learn about what you're getting yourself into next time.;-).

The last drivers available for the original Trigger Finger will support up to Windows 7, though you're welcome to download and try it out on Windows 10: If you do get it recognized, you'll still need software to use it with if you don't already have anything. The easiest ones to get started with are probably Ableton Live or FL Studio. Both have trials that you can test out: There are plenty of tutorials out there for both software's to help you get started and set up a midi controller, but if you have any questions, please let me know!

Hi, and thanks a lot for having made this forum. I have bought a used Trigger Finger (not the pro) for curiosity and I would like to know. I am a newbie so I apologize for the many questions I have here.

If the drivers made available here go with any version of Windows 7, and, if not, which is the recommended version. What kind of use/connection is given by the MIDI out port (I ́ve read the manual, but frankly didn ́t understand well: also difficult for me to understand the advice given over here by user Bryce Kinsey. As I just have the hardware, where may I find the Enigma Librarian, or the demo set for Ableton Live Lite 4?

Is it possible nowadays to have such a software installed for practicing on a laptop, old or new? Hi, and thanks a lot for having made this forum.
