Hoi Svend-Erik, I can't help you with the 1394 interface, but there's some other options: On 09/21/2010 07:34 PM, Svend-Erik Kjær Madsen wrote: > Hi > > I just bought a pair of two older Roland VSR-880 to record my band > during rehearse, I'm gonna use it with an analog mixer, but I would be > pleased to be able to feed Ardour with some of the recordings too, I have a VS-890 sitting around in the corner. I loved that device in the late 90's - its built-in effects are great as well. While one can access the raw data (either via SCSI or by simply taking out the HDD) it's a proprietary format. However there's http://www.thegoodlibrary.com/VSWaveExport.html - with some advanced wine device-config and tricks (see the troubleshooting on the page) it works on GNU/Linux. The drawback is: you get the raw data as stored on the device: not the mix (unless you bounce it). Another option is to simply use MTC/MMC to sync ardour to the VSR-880. I've used the optical S/PDIF-out to transfer two tracks at a time. It's somewhat lame but WTH. In my case I spent much more time recording, mixing & mastering so the few hours for transferring was negligible. > but > the only way to do it digital is through the R-bus which is a Roland > thing, but i found this device > http://www.thomann.de/gb/presonus_vfire.htm and wonder if anyone here > succeeded to install the device on Linux ? > > Maybe I used the wrong keywords but I can't find anything about it on > Google. The magic word is "ffado" (Free Firewire Audio Drivers) http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list In particular http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/108 says "V-Fire Support Status: Unknown" http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=9 "V-Fire also comes with a software control panel enabling the user to select the sample rate (44.1K, 48K, 88.2K, and 96K), latency, buffer size and clock source." Said software is only available for OSX <=10.4 and Windows XP. I don't know if there's a FFADO equivalent, but neither qemu nor virtualbox support raw1394. ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
