[Coco] OT Linux question

[Bill Pierce]

Same here, I use professional multi channel audio recording software and Linux just hasn't caught up yet, though Ardour in the 64 Studio 2.1 distro is looking better all the time. The problem with audio software for Linux is (from what I've read) there's so many "plugin" loops that tie various Windows and Mac type drivers into Linux, that real time recording suffers. There is development for "true" drivers in this area, but I need ASIO (industry standard for studios) and Linux just hasn't got the full support yet. I record at 24 bit 48 khz and sometimes 96 khz using up to 8 channels (soon to be 16) simultainiously and the overhead of Linux's audio system is just too much for this kind of recording.

I'm using the Linux box to test my latest Coco creation on the Linux Drivewire server. I needed to see if the program responded the same under Linux as it did in Windows. Now if I could just find someone with a Mac DW server and a 512k Coco 3 running NitrOS9. I really need to test this format. Anyone interested, send me an email

Thanks guys
Bill

For windows print to pdf - have always used the free CutePDF program. 

I have never used a linux box as my desktop for very long.  I am always drawn 
back to windows because of work, and there are some types of programs that 
either do not exist in linux or the ones that do are so far behind I just can't 
fight with them.

Thanks John
I actually have Adobe Acrobat 5.0 for Windows, but it will not install under 
Windows Vista 64 bit. Too old
It allowed me to "print" to pdf from MS word which was great.
So this is exactly what I was looking for.

======================

There are several "print to PDF" utilities for Windows as well. I've been using 
a product called "PDF995" (www.pdf995.com). Works great. You can go to 
www.downloads.com and find something as well. PDF995 has you install Ghostscript 
and works though that. PDF995 installs a printer driver, you just select that as 
the printer and away you go, just like the Linux PDF printer.

I tried Scribus for DTP but it just wasn't developed enough for me yet, too many 
changes taking place. I bought a copy of PageStream (PgS) which is a mature 
product and works well. I don't mind paying for Linux software as long as it's 
reasonably priced ($100-150 in this case), is supported, and works well. PgS was 
originally written for the Amiga and was popular on that platform, was ported to 
Windows and Linux.
