| len-dt | ailo, http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2012-July/085677.html this looks promising. | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| len-dt | If jack/alsa can see all the input tracks on the R16 or R24, that would add to the list of USB units that just work | 01:47 |
| len-dt | The R8 is 2i/o but the 16/24 are 8in/2out | 01:48 |
| len-dt | What does make me a little leery of things is the suggestion on the zoom web site that two units can be synced via USB... to within 2ms | 01:50 |
| len-dt | I guess they are talking time code sync, not audio. Don't put stereo across the two machines. | 01:51 |
| len-dt | Oh and the syncing is only for stand alone use. | 01:51 |
| len-dt | My local music store doesn't have them so I can't try. | 01:52 |
| ailo | len-dt: It's usb 1.1, so that explains it | 01:59 |
| len-dt | 24 bit? | 01:59 |
| ailo | The R8 doesn't require drivers as far as I can see | 02:00 |
| ailo | I'll check the manual | 02:00 |
| len-dt | says it requires a USB2.0 port. | 02:00 |
| len-dt | The manual is a long downlaod | 02:03 |
| ailo | It is | 02:04 |
| ailo | len-dt: I found something about a driver now.. | 02:06 |
| ailo | http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/r8/software/ | 02:07 |
| ailo | It says it offers lower latency being ASIO | 02:07 |
| ailo | So, maybe not actually needed for full functionality | 02:07 |
| ailo | len-dt: I'm starting a list here, but not putting links for it anywhere yet. Would like to go through a bunch of known devices and add them first | 02:14 |
| ailo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/SupportedHardware/ListOfSupportedUSBDevices | 02:14 |
| ailo | len-dt: Reading the manual. It wasy 96kHz/24 bits, but haven't got to how and when | 02:28 |
| ailo | Also, seems like a great tool | 02:29 |
| ailo | Has sampler builtin, and sequencing | 02:29 |
| ailo | If you don't mind its' interface | 02:29 |
| len-dt | ailo, seems good to use away from the computer for sure. | 02:29 |
| ailo | But it says if you import stuff into it, it can only handle up to 48kHz | 02:31 |
| ailo | And on Mac, no driver needed | 02:31 |
| ailo | So, I don't know | 02:31 |
| ailo | The trouble with jack is that you don't know if it's actually running in 24 bits | 02:33 |
| ailo | Even if you are using that for your project on whatever software you use | 02:33 |
| len-dt | Wed Jul 11 19:38:31 2012: ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit integer little-endian | 02:34 |
| len-dt | This from the jack log | 02:34 |
| ailo | There is a way to know, but I have forgotten. Thinking about implementing that to -controls. | 02:34 |
| len-dt | That is for the d66 | 02:34 |
| ailo | len-dt: Yes, but that's not what the card is doing | 02:34 |
| ailo | Knowing what sample rate the card is working at is what I mean | 02:35 |
| ailo | I mean, bit rate | 02:35 |
| len-dt | With my USB1.1 device it says 16 bit | 02:35 |
| len-dt | I can't remember what it says with my HD internal. | 02:36 |
| ailo | If that is so, then that would do it | 02:37 |
| ailo | I just remember asking las about it, and he gave me a hint | 02:37 |
| ailo | It says 32 bits for me too, but my card only supports 24 bits, and I don't think there is still a device that supports more | 02:38 |
| len-dt | I wonder if L&M would rent me their R24... (I can't aford to buy one.) | 02:38 |
| ailo | I could probably try a lot of devices here. | 02:39 |
| ailo | Just need to prepare something, so I can store the results | 02:39 |
| ailo | And get my finger out of my .. | 02:39 |
| ailo | There are plenty of shops around | 02:39 |
| len-dt | It may be that alsa uses 32 bit for anything bigger than 16 | 02:39 |
| ailo | I think so | 02:39 |
| len-dt | I think Ardour uses 32bit internal too no matter what the input is. | 02:40 |
| len-dt | floating point? | 02:40 |
| ailo | Yes | 02:42 |
| ailo | Usually you can choose between 16, 24 and 32 | 02:42 |
| ailo | But when you set the device, it's either 16 or 24 | 02:42 |
| len-dt | It is interesting:• USB hubs are not supported. | 02:47 |
| len-dt | • Intel® chipsets recommended. | 02:47 |
| len-dt | I wonder if they are talking about the USB chip set | 02:47 |
| len-dt | just to confirm: | 03:04 |
| len-dt | Wed Jul 11 20:08:51 2012: ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 16bit little-endian | 03:04 |
| len-dt | ailo, That is my USB1.1 device | 03:05 |
| ailo | Cool | 03:05 |
| len-dt | My old ensoniq is the same. | 03:06 |
| ailo | I'm really getting too little done right now. I was hoping to finish this puredata project (or at least wrap the major part up) within this week, but it just keeps draggin on | 03:06 |
| ailo | The problem is, I can't find the peace of mind to do anything else until it's done | 03:07 |
| ailo | But it doesn't help trying too hard either | 03:07 |
| len-dt | ailo, the heat is getting to me, I end up coming home and sleeping. | 03:07 |
| ailo | Just has the opposite effect | 03:07 |
| ailo | Well, no need to worry too much. Just try to relax and have a bit of fun | 03:08 |
| ailo | I would probably share the project with other people, but I don't think I will be able to get even one other person to help on it, or not very easily | 03:09 |
| ailo | len-dt: Have some lime drink. I usually like that on a hot day | 03:10 |
| ailo | Think I'm going for a run soon. bbl | 03:10 |
| len-dt | ailo, I'm ok now, it is just after a 3 hour fast walk with weight, I'm done for a bit | 03:19 |
| ailo | I can imagine that will make you hot :) | 04:28 |
| len-dt | I look for sprinklers | 05:02 |
