SaffirePro26IO_Hi Eickmeyer, thanks a lot for replying to my message. I understand Reaper isn't in the official repo, my issue is mainly related to getting my interface (SaffirePro26IO) recognized in FFADO so that it will show up in Reaper (or any DAW like Ardour)02:08
SaffirePro26IO_do you have any experience with FFADO?02:08
EickmeyerSaffirePro26IO_: I don't have any experience with that interface. For whatever reason, we've been hearing about difficulties with FireWire interfaces, and have reason to believe the problem lies at the kernel level.02:59
EickmeyerI have only used USB interfaces myself.03:00
SaffirePro26IO_Oh really? dang. Is a kernel downgrade something that is worth considering? I also have a MOTU 828 MK3 Hybrid interface connected via USB that I haven't been able to get going with linux either :/05:49
EickmeyerSaffirePro26IO_: Do you know if any of these interfaces work with Mac? Asking because most interfaces that work with Mac work with Linux. The other question is, which version of Ubuntu Studio are you using?05:55
EickmeyerActually, looks like MOTU has come out and said that their hardware devices do not support Linux, and nobody has been able to (or taken the time to) reverse-engineer an open source driver to include in Linux.05:59
EickmeyerSaffirePro26IO_: Looks like both of your audio interfaces are generally problematic under Linux: http://ffado.org/?q=node/1706:01

Eickmeyer^That might be your answer.06:03
SaffirePro26IO_Thanks a lot for the links - much appreciated. I'll try the suggestion in the 2nd link and report back. Both interfaces work fine in Windows and Mac, but yea, due to MOTUs stance on Linux I haven't really expected the MOTU interface to work. However FFADO's website stating that the SaffirePro26IO has 'Full Support' led me to think that it *should* work...  I'm using Ubuntu Studio 18.10 by the way08:55
cinchi just got a used Saffire LE and it works well with FFADO12:01

cinchother plugins work fine12:11
cinchwith the Calf Reverb one12:13
Eickmeyercinch: Known bug, remove the calf-ladspa plugins and you should be just fine.15:10
OvenWerksEickmeyer: The latest motu devices in the avb line are known to work just fine with linux. Not only that the mixer control is http and so can also be accessed.15:12
EickmeyerOvenWerks: Must be the older devices then?15:13
OvenWerkscould be. The rule is that if it works with mac it will work (in default or last set configuration) in linux.15:14
