Everything is working splendidly, until I start to record Midi or Audio. Then everything freezes. I tried other audio-engines etc but only ALSA works. I also adjusted the buffer size and thereby latency.

Does anybody know what settings might possibly fix this?

Gratful for any and all suggestions no matter how outlandish.

If I could do all my recording on Debian I could ditch the airgapped windows machine I currently use for recording and finally be 100% FOSS.

    FWIW, I regularly use a Zoom H8 and do my major editing/mixdown in Tenacity, minor quick stuff directly in the H8. I give Ardour a try every few years, and things are definitely getting better. I just don’t have a lot of patience for getting the audio working in Ardour. I still support Ardour because I see that things are improving.

    Edit to add: I think it says a lot of good things about the Ardour project that one has to dig a bit to find the donation link. For people who can and want to financially support Ardour, here it is: https://community.ardour.org/donate
