Hi,

Just thought I'd share the fun. We were transfering an
album from a couple of Yamaha 4416s through a Motu
2408 to Digital Performer running on a Mac. The Motu
driver kept locking up and the opportunity to showcase
Ardour arose. :)

I'm certain it took less than three minutes and  we
were streaming the tracks into Ardour. No crashes.
Afterwards it took another three minutes to whip up a
Resample script, 48000 -> 44100, and after returning
from coffee the songs are ready for mastering.

Bill, Dana's brother and the third partner in our
studio, said, "That was fast. Why aren't we using
Ardour all the time?" I said, "All in good time."

Bill is an old school analog engineer/producer who
wants as little exposure to technical computer issues
as possible. When he saw how smoothly Ardour
performed, he was sold. Trust me, that says alot for
Ardour.

Unfortunately, we'll be mastering the files in T-Racks
running on a Mac later this week.  My question is,
when is someone going to write the ultimate jackd
mastering client?

Here's the ultimate mastering chain; Ardour (multi
mono channel mix in control room A) stereo out over
analog speaker cables to jackd/client mastering
machine in Studio B...seperate room, seperate speakers
are a must. Export Ardour, ssh -X ardour, to the
mastering machine. There's no realtime or sync issues
between the stations because analog breaks that chain.

This is the ultimate in control because I can walk
into Studio A, modify the mix, return to studio B and
continue mastering. No wasting time with mastering a
printed track, returning to modify that track and all
the redo that goes with that. Simply stream it on over
until you've got something that you want printed. 

I'm not describing this very well but if it's ever
available we'll need to distribute it with mops and
buckets because audio engineers will drool for it. 

AFAIK, there isn't a real good mastering interface
that doesn't cost way to much money and I don't think
any of them do what I've done a poor job describing.
Ah well, I talk to much.

Thanks for making my day,

Ron "I need a bib" Parker
