I wanted to see if there's a way to set up a home recording
mini-studio using Linux.  In Windoze, there's things like Cubase,
Ableton, Reason, Wavelab, etc...  What's available in Linux for that
purpose (recording, sequencing, mixing, sound effects), and which of
those does Gentoo have in the Portage tree?

The only app that i can think of off the top of my head is audacity. 
Have a look through media-sound though, audacity has some nasty
recording latency issues, but it's fine for arranging and mixing
tracks.

You could have a look at ardour, rosegarden, muse, hydrogen, qjackctl etc.
These are all in the portage tree. For a overview of linux and audio apps see:

besides the things gerrit aalready mentioned, it's important to 
understad that you need a low latency soundserver: JACK.

At first become familiar with JACK and then try to run only JACK enabled 
applications. ardour, rosegarden, muse, hydrogen and qjackctl are. Even 
recent versions of Audacity can be run on top of JACK.

JACK cannot (yet) transport MIDI, so for MIDI use the ALSA sequencer 
instead of the outdated OSS devices /dev/midi*. The ALSA sequencer 
allows arbitrary MIDI connections between hardware- and software ports.

BTW: THe advantage of JACK is not only low latency audio but allowing 
arbitrary audio connections as well.

For support I recommend to join the linux audio user mailing list.


Best regards

Try a search of the gentoo-users archives on gmane.org.

Mark Knecht lead several discussions of exactly this topic.

Good luck

Visit the archives of the linux audio user mailing list. Better yet,
join the list. There is plenty of software, and Gentoo is a popular
distribution for it.

Audacity "used" to have that issue.  And they only had that issue when doing 
playback and record using integrated sound cards.  This is now a non-issue.

Does anyone know if the "E-MU" sound cards are well-supported in Linux
sound recording?  I still havent made up my mind which pro audio card
to invest in for the final result, but it would be nice if the card
has good support in Linux.

I guess this question is better placed on linux audio user.

To be honest, I have a notebook and that's why I stay with USB devices, 
and many of them just work great under Linux.

Actually it used to have that issue with my audigy2zs, regardless of
simultaneous playback and record or not, but moot point.

I'm pretty sure the answer here is no, have seen a 1212M in the
"trying to use" phase only recently and the result was nothing but
static.
