[TriLUG] Linux Digital Audo Workstation and Control surfaces

[Roy Vestal]

I am setting up a Linux DAW and want to run a Control surface for Ardour 
and Audacity. I'm looking at the Tascam US-2400 or FW-1884 with an FE-8 
expansion. I've googled till my eyes literally hurt. I'm trying to find 
if JackIt/ALSA or something will allow either of these, or the Mackie 
equivalents, to control the software. I don't wanna have to go to XP 
purely because my controller isn't supported.

TIA
Roy
