Hello, i am Beate from Germany, notably from the surrounding of Frankfurt.
Almost an elderly Lady, with a few decades of Unix/BSD/Linux usage and administration. And i still hate configuring ALSA ... In the past i have usually been lazy and did recordings either with my Zoom R8 or with Audacity.
I am also playing bass in a few projects and can solder a bit in tube amps...
My concern here is using Linux as a DAW. Especially on older hardware with all its limitations, and maybe using "exotic" Linuxens like Devuan or even Alpine.
My current project is actually setting up an Alpine based DAW (Ardour + Jack + zita-ajbridge, no dbus and no other sound demon installed) and that is everything but working out of the box, to use with the USB interfaces of two small mixing consoles.
I.e, a very lightweight setup on old hardware.
If there is interest i can describe what i have achieved up to now.
best wishes
Beate
