However, the board can hold only one dynamically automated mix at a time in its battery-backed memory - you don't lose the mix when you power down - so to store multiple mixes, you definitely need to use the DDX3216 File Exchange software, PC flash memory, or a device that stores bulk MIDI dumps. You can choose which parameters are to be recalled from stored snapshots - a nice feature. The DDX3216 stores as many as 128 snapshot files, which reflect the state of the board (except, of course, for analog settings such as control-room and headphone levels) at any time. I am using on the onboard audio card, which is really nice, its a Realtk that is capable of 7.You can also do updates through the PC Card slot, so one work-around is to find a Windows machine with a PC Card writer. I am building a new computer in November (hopefully when AMD releases their new stuff ), and am planning on going quad core (i need 4 cores for my research, so no, its not a waste).Ģgb of Corsair ram (CAS latency 2-3-3-6 if I remember correctly)
How will my latency be with the firewire400? Ever since USB2.0 came out, it seems like everything uses that. I think the MOTU has monitoring stuff in it, so I might be able to just run directly into the MOTU (if I need monitors).Īlso, I haven't used a firewire device since my old digital camcorder. I know you can plug XLR directly into the MOTU, but I was debating whether or not I wanted to send my drums to the Mackie, then from the Mackie to the MOTU. Well, what I wasn't sure about the MOTU was whether or not I would have to use the Mackie. Bang for buck these setups are unmatched. That entire system is under $700USD investment if you shop around.Ī more versatile setup I've seen recommended is using a Behringer DDX3216 & an RME HDSP9652.
Ardour allows you to use inexpensive control/interface products like the Behringer BCF2000:Īdd an M-Audio Delta 10/10 and you're good to go: Notice that ALL usb devices should work without a hitch. Anything that is ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) compatible will work. The other nice thing about it is your hardware options.
You can download the Ubuntu Studio bundle which contains ardour for free here: First off the software is free and continuously being updated. Next system I build will be an Ardour System. Drawbacks are that I'm stuck buying expensive control surfaces when I want direct interface/automation. It's got 16in and feeds an Allen and Heath Mixer. One of the systems I have in use right now is a M-Audio/ProTools rig. There are different versions, you choose based on the hardware you're planning on buying. Pro Tools doesn't require M-Audio correct? (better make sure before I buy it)
