Enjoy new linux for audio distribution at http://www.jacklab.org/
more of 70 audio appz,sequencing,sampling,synth and drum and the super stable low latency jack audio server,sin on scope dont work,bat I think one parallel machines with linux for controller via sequencer the scope and the second pc

Seriously could you expand.I am interested and it's been said of how stable Linux is.

You said that it doesn't support Scope so how would we use it?

Jacklab is the firs package for audio linux user,is made on suse ditribuition,linux with ALSA(support for most professional soun card in linux) and Jack audio server (the same asio in windows) give more stability an d very low latecy around 1,5 ms with professional audio cards,I with integrate intel on boar audio get 2,9 ms,linux become have a killer windows app for multitrack recording and midi sequincing,in this distribution you find AUDOR professional mutitrack recorder and Rosegarden complete audio midi sequencer and much more like softsynth drum machines and windows VST support,the midi timing seem very rock solid and I have intention of made one workstation whit another soun card parallelat my windows DAw also only for esperimental proupose exapol for send midi rock solid signal trought anoter machine with windows and scope for mix the audio from linux and parell use your midi timing,is always one audio resouese and is very stable.Sure scope dotn run on this bat in future linux give much of spike of him,the jacklab ditribution live also in your windows machines with linux boot loader and you can try this also whit you generic integrated audio cards

sorry for my english

your english could be understandable if you would make kind of sentenses... preferable more than one

if any non veteran linux user can get this to run and actually get a production done on it, let me know how it goes. Maybe I should invest in a linux box with a dedicated sound system (some firewire system?) so the linux box can exist as its own separate entity.

i think about that solution too for the future.
the realtime linux kernel is much faster then normal OS kernels.
i think it could be perfect for live stuff, midi events/automation, recording... everything where you need exact timing and low latency.

but in my eyes that will be all for the next years.
i dont believe that we see highquality plugins or dsp card drivers for linux next years.

I'm not a Linux user, I installed Ubuntu Studio yesterday for the first time and what I see is a stable and ready platform for pro software and hardware with no restrictions, high usability and extremely customizable.

Vista is mandatory, market dictat, but imho Linux/Unix/OSX is THE way to go these days, see current Apple sales and Logic pricing...

Linux Azalia audio codecs can be easily used with a simple patch on OSX/intel with low latency Core Audio, so it should be quite easy to develop drivers for both systems.
The porting of Scope shouldn't be so dramatic when the framework upon which Scope is built is already cross platform. A revision to get cross compatibility might also help to improve the Windows side.
I'm not thinking of this realized in less than several months of work, but not several years even if proceeding slowly!
I would be happy to see only beta drivers, with minimal functionality, of course with no support. How many months are necessary to have a minimal not-working/demo implementation?
...anyway it would be important to start asap.
I as a C++ developer would be happy to collaborate in any way possible.

cheers
