Audio and MIDI
Hi all,
I'm looking to get back into music recording. Audio and MIDI on Linux
has moved on a lot in the last couple of years, and I'm ready to ditch
my investment in Cubase as the Linux tools look very much the part now
and of course, upgrades are free. :) Apps like jack, ardour, hydrogen
and muse, are just the ticket.
I was thinking how it might be cool to build my new DAW on e.g. an Ultra
10. I used one of these running Solaris in an old programming job for
two years, and it was great. They are now on ebay quite cheap.
My basic needs are:
USB 2.0 PCI interface with hard disk for audio data (SCSI disks of the
capacity I need cost too much) and alsa-compliant audio/MIDI interface.
(Possible) 802.11b PCI card
(Possible) PCI video card to run xinerama
(Possible) SATA PCI card. Can an Ultra 10 boot from such?
I have scanned the archives of this list, and haven't been put off yet.
Is anyone doing this? Anything I should know? ;)

PS I was also tempted by a SGI Octane but that is just too nuts. :D
