Hardware:<br>
- Most of Blackmagic hardware work great with Linux for video<br>
- I would recommand to avoid PCI sound card now, and use USB2 compliant sound<br>
card instead: I can work at 3ms of latency without issues with Focusrite,<br>
Presonus or Allen & Heath devices, and we can expect to have less with Arturia's<br>
Audiofuse (can't wait to test it)<br>

unless you have a working pci IF already. There are still new mother boards with working pci slots, mine has three. I don't know about buying a pci card though. I might buy a pcie AI like one of the AudioScience boards if it fit my needs, but USB would give more bang for the buck for sure.<br>
<br>
To take this one step farther, I think it is reasonable to assume that most Studio users will have a USB AI and default tweaks/setup in that direction. Those with a PCI will likely have some experience setting it up.<br>
<br>
Your breadth of experience is very helpful.<br>
