I asked the author if it would be in the future and he said he might look at it but because Envy24control is out there, the need may not really exist. > > ardour has a pretty nice /flexible mixer even if you don't record. but > that requires jackd and some configuration of inputs/outputs. > but if you just want a consistent mixing desk, once configured you could > save it as a session and load that when you want to mix. > note that you would probably use this in addition to envy24control. i have been using Ardour expressly for this purpose. It has the flexibility and thru LADSPA plugs the ability exists for EQ, fx, etc. it is an extreme under usage for Ardour but hey, it is an applicable use nonetheless. > >> Are the outputs assignable or are they tied to >> their respective inputs? > > Assignable with envy24control. > >> What other hardware do I need >> aside from input sources, cables, balanced to 1/4" TIP >> adapters, amplifier(s) and speakers to handle 8 channel >> recording/playback? > > all you need is some audio sources that you can connect with > 1/4" plugs ... > > -- > > Paul Winkler > http://www.slinkp.com
