Lets see if y'all hate me after this
First up, i am a little bit sceptical about the USB/Firewire mixers that are available, since i dont know anybody that has one, and i cant find any local places that will let me fart about with one, (latency is one of my big concerns)
I tried this with windows, to no avail.
BUT linux appears to work with it kinda....
I currently have generic PCI cheapies (with the onboard sound disabled at the BIOS)
Now Fedoracore 5, recognises all three cards as seperate devices.... Great me says.
But it seems to only be able to select them independantly... So if i run it as follows
card 1 - computer speakers
card 2 - headphones
card 3 - to amp to FOH mid/highs (RCF 15" i think, but i havent looked)
and thru the sound vol i select each device, and it will play through the card i want... great...
But that being said, i cant run them simulten..... simultaene..... eh bugger it, at the same time.
And the same goes for recording (my real reason for doing this), as i figure it'd be handing to record 2 or even 3 tracks at the same time... Ive tried with Audacity (not a big fan of this), and with Ardour.
I did try it with Windows and CEP Pro 2.1 but windows didnt like the multi soundcard thingy much...
Has anybody done this? or got any idea how to do it? or am i on my own to figure this one out?
Thanks
Matty
