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. 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?
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).
