Keep in mind that, even if it is advertised as 96kHz, you can only record or listen at that sample rate (not both). In duplex mode the maximum is 48kHz. The GT8 digital out is 44.1kHz IIRC, so it is ok. USB 1 is ok for two channels. You can achieve less latency with PCI cards, but this is an issue only if you want to monitor the signal processed inside the application. The UA-25 has a direct monitor (0 latency) that you can use to listen to your processed guitar while playing over a track. UA-25 works OOTB with linux (MIDI works great too). Hope this helps, -c. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
