Some class compliant USB devices have now an agnostic mixer/panel control over ip, like the Motus AVB range. But not all... On the high end it would be cool to test the
Antelope range (Zen, ...) that have such a mixer in browser. Bernard Le 13/11/2019 à 16:04, Brent Busby a

Yes, I know, I'm resurrecting an old thread... I'm starting to find it frustrating that I don't have more control of routing on the control panel of the Babyface. My main computer has a Multiface II, which lets me use hdspmixer to get all the same things TotalMix would give you on Windows/MacOS, including routing that can do anything, and I'm used to being able to setup any monitoring I want. But that's a now-defunct breed of interface, which has a PCI-E host card, a real Linux driver, and a nice GUI mixer application for Linux. But because the Babyface is a class-compliant USB device that doesn't have a real Linux driver or mixer app of its own, I can only do what the control panel allows. What I'd like to do is have a mono input on channel 1 routed to the headphones on both sides (left/right), so it isn't all in one ear, while a stereo signal coming in on channels 3&4 is sent as stereo a pair to the headphones at the same time. As far as I can tell, it only handles inputs in stereo pairs, and I haven't found a way to send a single channel to both sides. I'm sure on Windows/MacOS, the TotalMix application would let you do this. This opens the larger question of where Linux recording is going now that it seems interfaces with PCI-E host cards are becoming scarce, and things seem to be moving toward all interfaces being USB. Aside from USB having latency issues we never suffered from PCI cards, what is this going to mean when the Linux solution for every interface becomes, "Just run in class-compliant mode," when that will not give you much control over monitoring in situations like this. Maybe I should have gotten a digital mixer, since that would connect to the computer as a class-compliant device, but mixing and monitoring would truly be handled on-board. |
