[linux-audio-user] What HW do I need?

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

 



If you don't need digital I/O then the Delta 44 is just as good as the
Delta 66 at a somewhat lower price.  If you want 8 I/O channels then I
would spend the extra money on the 1010 (not the 1010LT), the DSP 2000
C-Port, or the EWS88MT.  The MIDI support for the DSP 2000 is apparently
not there yet (I don't do MIDI) so you probably don't want that.  I'm
not sure about the EWS88MT.  M-Audio seems to be the best choice at the
moment.
