Hi, untested comments follow: 2006/6/23, Markus Herhoffer <markus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:> I need a recommendation for a sound card or USB device for a PC that> will serve as sequencer and virtual instrument on stage. I need a cheap> yet powerful sound card with the following features:> - - about 4 ins and 4 outs. (If there are more, the sound engineer will go> crazy)> - - ultra low latency> - - compatible to be built into a 19'' rack.> - - MIDI-In/Out M-Audio has the Delta 44 which is 4in and 4out. With a smallbreakout-box to jack in your cables...PCI has the advantage that rather a lot of cards are tested andfunctional on linux. If you prefer USB, you won't find 4x4 devices. Because usb1.1 can onlycarry four streams reliable (which is stereo in and out) and usb2.0hasn't an audio standard, so most of these devices don't work onlinux. Firewire has some devices available through the FreeBob-project, butthe devices with more channels aren't cheap. (You didn't say anythingabout the money you want to spend.) So long, Arnold-- visit http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/---Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklichverhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner undeinen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.
