A week or two on from 2.0rc1, and its time to offer up 2.0rc2 and the Mac OS X DMG, which we hope will be the final release before 2.0.
At this point, we don't anticipate any code changes at all before
2.0. Read more below for the
changes since rc1 ...

control protocols had been used in a previous one.
Fixes this release from Paul, Sampo, Jesse, Carl and Doug. Thanks to
them and all our beta testers.
There’s nothing new in RC2 that should’ve caused compile times to become noticeably slower. Ardour does take quite a while to compile.
Were you perhaps running something cpu and/or disk intensive while compiling?
Do you have a frequency scaling processor? Some boxes (for examply my laptop) sometimes go in a state where the processor speed gets locked down. For me this happens when my PSU connector is not plugged in completely.
Nice, I’m gonna try this once I install fiesty fawn, I’m running suse 10.0 right now and I wasn’t able to compile ardour then for some reason. Anyways, I have a question: What’s different from the regular kernel and the RT kernel? and do I have to use the RT kernel to run ardour?
The new 2.6.x series kernels (from around 2.6.15 onwards) are very good for most audio work. The RT kernels are patched to provide better scheduling but they are not as stable as the mainline kernels.
If you do tracking, mixing and mastering on Ardour and do not require low-latency for software monitoring or play live software synthesizers, a standard kernel will be good for you. If you want to play your electric guitar “through” your computer and run realtime effects on it, you might want a RT patched kernel to do that.
Ubuntustudio is something you need to keep an eye out for if you decide to go for feisty.
Hmm I see, But I will be able to record audio with mics and maybe the guitar going right into the comp through and external audio card and then apply effects afterwards?
What about external audio cards, which works with linux and which doesn’t? I’d also like to hear some general suggestions about what card to get.
Brilliant. Just compiled (on Ubuntu 7.04 AMD64). BTW this took absolute ages to compile, I think considerably longer than earlier beta snapshots. Is this to do with
a) my perception?
b) my new realtime kernel not being optimised for throughput?
c) lots of stuff to compile in this big program?
It’s worth the wait though.
Excellent work. But till I not able to buy your old version and you launched new one. You guys are really very speedy.joint life insurance work from home
