Hi folks,

I am moving into a house where I'd like to set up a little studio. I would
really like to have it run on Linux if I could, and replace my aging ADAT.
I have been reading about various software on the Web, like Ardour &
ecasound, and the ALSA drivers, but I have a pretty fuzzy picture in my mind
of house this fits together with audio hardware and the "live music" world.

Ideally I'd like to record 8 tracks (using 1/4" or XLR inputs)
simultaneously. What hardware/interface can I use? I know MOTU is big in
the Mac world, but have not heard anything about it for Linux. What
hardware options are there for multiple inputs (and outputs, for that
matter)?

Also, what kind of system should I consider purchasing. I know ecasound
will run on a fairly low-end system, but I imagine it would have to be
pretty speedy for this many tracks.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
Jay
