Compile ardour linux6/24/2023 I don't use the TV screen for normal work, but I do like to run things like VCV Rack (an open source modular synthesizer system) there because of the sheer size of the screen. An ASUS GeForce GT 710 drives two ASUS 24" 1920x1200 monitors via HDMI and DVI An ASUS Radeon R5 drives a 42" TCL 4K "TV". I don't need video power, I do need silence, so both of them are fanless. The Ryzen system has two video interfaces. I run macOS Mojave in an 8-core, 16GB KVM/ QEMU VM "within" the Ryzen system in order to do test builds for macOS and to check the functionality of Ardour on macOS. When that now takes less than 3 minutes, its easy to not hesitate about making changes. The Ryzen system takes 2m50s! This is really helpful for encouraging me to feel entirely free to make frequent code changes that may require full rebuilds. Compiling Ardour can take a long time - my previous system took about 9 minutes for a full build. This system has totally changed the way I work. It has 64GB of RAM, a 500GB NVEme drive as the primary storage, along with a secondary 500GB SSD and an external 2TB USB SSD. My current machine is a self-built system based on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X (16 cores). Before I got into audio software, I helped to get Amazon started. Sometimes I have to deal with Drupal and web stuff too, but I try to avoid it if possible. My development work spans just about every aspect of native programming, from the many nuances and complications of GUI and UX design down to bare metal performance considerations, parallel, real time and lock free programming, complex data structure design and large scale data handling. I've also worked on some other audio and MIDI software, most notably JACK which can be used to interconnect different audio/MIDI applications so that they can share/exchange data. Ardour has been my central project for the last 20 years, and I've made a living from it for the last 10 years or so. I'm Paul Davis, the original developer and benign dictator of Ardour, an open source digital audio workstation used for recording, editing and mixing music (or more generally sound).
