I'm looking to buy a sound-card. According to past posts on the list, both the Midiman Quattro and the Ediroyal UA-20 seem like good options with reliable Linux and OSX experiences. Has anyone had recent experience to the contrary? Is there another 4 channel I'm overlooking?
The UA-20 isn't 4-channel.
I know, but it is cheaper.
The Quattro doesn't seem to work currently with kernel 2.6. If you can wait a week: I will test 18 USB interfaces on Linux the next days, and I will report about this somewhere. I do have a Quattro, and it's working so-and-so.
Has anyone unplugged these during a performance and moved them to another machine, leaving the original behind playing through the PCI (or built in) card? Mac and Linux.
Huh?
The most important channels for us in this performance are the INs. Once tracks are recorded, I don't mind (too much) playing back through built in audio.
As my machines seem to only be able to reach 100+- track playback (I'm not complaining) (at 44100), I am thinking of getting the 100 tracks recorded through the USB device, and moving it to the next machine.
That, or a network solution, mixing down on other machines and routing the playback through the computer with nice sound (which I admit may be a better solution).
Also, do either of these reduce CPU load? Do the PCI cards do this more effectively? Enough so to change my mind?
PCI is much more efficient than USB (1.0).
But does it reduce CPU load, as in, might I be able to get more of my tracks playing at once if I have a good PCI sound-card?
ciao
