At any rate the interface cards... But digiface doesn't have conerters? I think my poor English has lead me to be misunderstood. We don't want converters external to the HDSP, we just want the preamps to jus be preamps and no converters (as to remind, the preamps should be TL-Audio Ivory II serie). By the way it looks we can use till 3 Multiface with Linux, so the dedicated card + 3 multiface is a quite nice solution. The question was also about the choice between Multiface (x3) and an Alesis HD24XR. They have the same converters, but the clock, the jitter, etc. aren't the same. It looks like the RME are better, but the HD24XR seems to suffer from the HD24's reputation. I don't know what the best between those two solutions, indeed, and if someone has tried the HD24XR (eventually linked with ADAT to an HDSP9652), I'd be glad to read his feelings. > > http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdsp_pci_interface.php > http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdsp_pci_e_interface.php > > Difference being PCI vs PCI-E OK, thanks. > > And the Digiface interface, which sounds like it would be a better choice > than the Multiface for what you are looking for, as you are aiming for > external pres and converters...

As it's gonna be a mobile studio, there are many configuration that shall exist. but anyway, I think we always prefer have the DSP/PC/sound ingeneer/loud machines in another room. So, I think we can take a bit loud hard drive (I suppose it's not something untolerable). -- ============================== ORL /// AMMD Booking (www.ammd.net) ° Sebkha-Chott (www.sebkhachott.net - Ohreland [FR]) - next touring period: 04-06/2008 ° Unexpect (www.unexpect.com - Montréal [CA]) - Europe tour w/ Sebkha-Chott period: 09-12/2008 ° La Muette (www.myspace.com/muette - Paris [FR]) - next touring period: 03-05/2008 ° Mel-P (http://melpmusic.websanslimit.net - Le Mans [FR]) - next touring period: 01-04/2008 Phone: +33 (0)95 234 72 48 _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
