There are many single board computers out there…quite a lot actually, but the ODROID U3 has a nice chipĪnd the free Ubuntu they provide is hardware video accelerated by default in the MAIL 400 (quad core gpu) There are several that do This cloud idea is infact the cheapest idea to get into Pro audio but you still need a laptop to actually do that…really… You can, ofcourse, RENT computers inside the cloud internet and run Ardour in them.These are surprisingly CHEAP to rent per hour and offer great performance for money…once you find a virtual computer provider in the cloud that supports AUDIO over the internet. The DAW called “Audio evolution” on Android is excellent but it won’t run VST’s and such But its not really atĪ professional level. I think the cheapest commercial way into audio right now is Android. (this is, infact,a very good idea with them) You can also CHAIN these odroid computers together using cat 5 cables and CELT inside Ardour and thus produce an audio processing farm of Real power. But you won’t get this kind of performanceįor your money …i don’t think… and also this device fits in the palm of your hand. Yes you could buy a second hand laptop and run Ardour. It has many more audio tools in it set up ready to go. There is also another operating system which is extremely good called “Dream Studio” for these boards.

Really, it’s the cheapest computer going that can actually handle PRO audio and actually do something You are best to use the emCC flash card and also if you are lucky your cell phone charger will be right for the ODROID. The graphics performance of these devices is amazing. PRO audio Linux will probably be built for that model also. Soon the price of the 8 core model will also drop. They are deceptively powerful computers in the palm of your hand.
