Hi Jesse, Thanks for the quick response. The Focus CommandPost looks close to perfect as well (though I hate to hear it has a poor jog/shuttle...I'm a bit rough on the jog/shuttle from years of working in television, as those Sony VTRs were built like tanks...but I have managed to use the wimpy shuttle on the DVD player for over a year with no significant damage). I'm stunned by how cheap it can be had for, though. At least one place (softwareandstuff.com) has it for $9.99! Anyway, I've ordered up one for myself just now (at $10 measly bucks plus shipping, I don't have to wait to save up more mad-money...I scraped it together out of the change in the drawers of my desk). I'll do what I can to assist with getting it talking to Ardour when it arrives. A search reveals that a suitable kernel driver exists for these types of devices, but that the events need to be accepted and dealt with. Looks promising. The thread is here: http://www.dragoninc.on.ca/mail-archives/linux-usb/2002-03/0152.html Now if only I can track down a local supplier of rigid fiberglass for bass traps here in my tiny little 'studio', things will be coming together very nicely. I love playing with all of this audio junk again... -- Joe Cooper <joe@swelltech.com> Web caching appliances and support. http://www.swelltech.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
