Nothing. I got it cheap on craigslist years ago with a broken USB jack.
I use its MIDI input, both of its headphone amps, its line outs to my speaker system, its SPDIF optical input (for my second PC's audio), and rarely a mic input.
You donate to FOSS projects right?

Generally pretty good for options, I have an ancient UME midi controller/keyboard that works perfectly and a Sennheiser USB DAC as well. I can't help you with your specific hardware but if it's just MIDI controllers or audio interfaces you should be able to manage just fine. If you need any other help setting up the audio stack let me know, also make sure you get a realtime kernel so you can get those incredibly low latencies going.
FOSS projects require donations in order to be kept alive unless they are sponsored or the creator has a serious dedication to it. Ardour in this instance is sponsored by Harrison Consoles (the same guys who created the world's first digitally controlled analog console)
The lv2 and ladpsa plugins available for Linux cover nearly every effect you need, including grain delay, they don't have fancy interfaces to make everything easy like Glitch, but you can accomplish everything in those suites with individual plugins. Oh, yeah, we also have WINE and github.com
Well, at least it was cheap.
Scarlett's have poor internal build quality, most of the streamer's I know have bought one and they all died within a year or 2 of heavy usage.

How are you people honestly this dumb?

I-I'm gonna donate to LibreOffice later since these guys are doing so much for many college students that can't afford Microsoft Office.
I think I will donate 100 to them soon and then 400 after I get a job once I complete some business classes because I'm still a stinky "some college, no degree" NEET with no experience.

Libreoffice writer AND MS word are garbage. WYSIWYG is a bad paradigm. If you want professional looking output you should use LaTeX.

If you're trying to get hired by an 80 year old, maybe.

I wanted to learn LaTeX some time ago since I wanted to become a math major.
But given my current circumstances, I do not think I will ever use this unless I become some kind of amateur mathematician.
Or don't tell me the feds and all other high-ranking public sector jobs use this thing?
Nathan Edwards
Eh, feds use some open source tools, i definitely wouldn't doubt they use LaTeX, but here's the thing: Even Microsoft knows Word is shit. That's why there's Publisher.
In a professional environment, you have people who know what to write and different people who know what places to put the text and what fonts to use and how to put the team's collaborative effort together into a cohesive whole. LaTeX is perfect for that.
Ayden Parker
What kind of college students go to a college that doesn't have free Microsoft Office provided to them? Lmfao
