Anybody know how I can hook up a USB sound card (with external) power and record some decent multi-track to the N800? Is there even enough CPU power for this?
Watch as details of the new device emerge - it will have better audio system software, meaning it'll be easier/possible to port existing linux audio packages. And the new processor should mean that at least 2-track audio recording will be possible. Still lots of details to be discovered, so we'll have to wait patiently.

I'm a musician, too, and I think there's a lot of potential for a device like the N8x0.
Metronome, tuner (based on mic input), and tone generator could all be handy. It could also come in handy as a remote control for software like Ardour.
There's a drum machine for the iphone, but it's definitely more of a novelty than a serious or useful musical instrument. Still, I think a touch screen is potentially a very powerful thing.
If nothing else, maemo recorder is handy for getting a quick, if not good, recording of something.
BTW, Ardour is a great piece of software.
So while there is potention you really want optimized UIs like http://www.synthtopia.com/content/20...r-synthesizer/
