Hello Forums

As i am using GNU/Linux on my main Computer (over some years periodically) and i am very happy with it, i am trying to make my Windows based machine obsolete. But as every linux user knows there are always stumbling blocks in regard of compatibility, as most manufacturers don't care about the penguin community.

There is software available (MIXX & Bitwig), but what is with the hardware? Which soundcards do run with ALSA? I realized that i probably won't be able to run my DJM850 on Debian. Is there someone who made it possible? Do i have to take the bitter pill and buy an external Interface?

What are your experiences and advices?

I've been using my Audio4Dj with Mixxx/Xwax on Ubuntu 12.04 for awhile not. Ive never played out with it yet - but I just don't play out much.

It works flawless.


Jack and anything that can use it: is the most powerful reason to go Linux. It's a pain to setup, and I'm no expert - but it makes a lot of different programs talk nicely to one another!
