Hi

I'm actually thinking about a project of home studio, linux based.

Do you think Ardour could be a serious choice for a personal but
"serious" home studio ?

I think it could be. Two observations I'd make:

Once you have a linux system configured for your application, it's
generally a very smooth and consistent experience from that moment
forward.

As long as you don't have habits such as, to install every VSTi plugin
you find, it should be a good choice. Ardour is a pretty good
recorder and editor, and there are some good MIDI sequencers and
realtime effects available.

Personally, I am a linux fanatic, yet my home studio runs on WindowsXP,
Adobe Audition, energyXT, and this is mainly because I want to use
certain VSTi instruments and I would prefer not to struggle with
emulation. But if I were strictly recording Audio, Ardour would
certainly be worth considering.

Linux agnula

Sure -- a "turnkey solution"

Delta 1010 or RME Hammerfall

I can tell you with certainty that any ICE1712-based Delta card will
work very, very well under linux. With a kernel that's been tweaked for
audio performance, it may even give you lower latency than the same card
with ASIO drivers under Windows.
