[linux-audio-user] recording multiple input audio streams

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ardour and JACK are powerful (but still rapidly evolving) answers to a 
different question than the one asked here. I think that ecasound + ALSA + 1 
or more Delta 1010LT cards would be a plausible basis for addressing this 
application, but I don't actually have any of those cards and I'm still 
waiting for the day when someone explains ALSA configuration files in a way 
that I can understand....

The funny thing about this list is, no matter what question you ask, the 
question that gets answered is usually "how do I build a Linux-based musical 
recording studio?"
