Recommended Linux-Compatible Audio Recording Hardware

[jcaum]

Hello all,


I want to convert a current Windows desktop to a Linux audio recording workstation, but I have a question as to what audio hardware is most compatible.

Is there a specific brand that touts Linux support (like M-Audio, Tascam, Mackie, etc)?


Thanks everyone for your support!

I have read some positive things about RME's Hammerfall, but not every version of it.
You should make sure the driver is in the mainline kernel already, not merely offered as a binary blob on the manufacturer's website. This means the driver is likely to have some active support. It will also run out of the box in that case.
