[Alsa-devel] steinberg digiset

2003-09-01 Thread David E. Storey
Folks, Does anyone have a steinberg/nuendo digiset? It looks like an OEM of the RME digiface and at USD$250, I'm wondering if this is the exact same product... Even the steinberg docs reference RME for technical docs. So why pay RME prices? d! --

ditto. I have cardbus hdsp + multiface connected to CD player via S/PDIF coax and RME ADI 8 Pro via ADAT. All appears to work. Yay! no longer do I need to load firmware via windoze. d! On Thu, 2003-07-10 at 00:00, Jesse Chappell wrote: > Thomas Charbonnel wrote on Wed, 09-Jul-2003: > > > You ca

Anyone care to shed the light on the math for what totalmix does regarding fader-to-mixer, fader-to-db and mixer-to-fader values? What I have works, but it's UGLY. (well just the constants... I like things to be simple.) d! On Wed, 2003-06-11 at 00:48, tom burkart wrote: > Today, Paul Davis wrote

hey, uh... is there something like this for the HDSP? I was going to write something, but if someone already has, I'd rather not re-invent the wheel... otherwise, I'll get a crackin'! d! On Tue, 2003-06-10 at 15:35, Paul Davis wrote: > >Maybe we can add some rme9652 switches to rmedigicontrol!? >

2003-06-08 Thread David E. Storey
folks, thought I'd bounce this off the list in case anyone has seen it before. I'm trying to write something like TotalMix for the RME HDSP, but more suited for mixing in-ear-monitors. So I wrote this mini library that uses the snd_ctl_* api of alsa. Wrote all the functionality, tested the functio

2003-06-05 Thread David E. Storey
I'm also having problems with the hdsp driver, however, I can get my multiface + PCMCIA card working just fine so long as I boot XP first. XP will load the firmware and when I reboot into linux and do a "modprobe snd-hdsp", it loads up just fine and states that the firmware has already been initial

2003-06-03 Thread David E. Storey
Well, I would have answered your question, but I personally don't have the answers you seek. For starters, I wouldn't use alsa for doing such things. I'd use Jack. It's so much more flexible, powerful and easier to code for than straight alsa. Having said that, your questio

Re: [Alsa-devel] 24bit hdsp

2003-05-29 Thread David E. Storey
I was reading http://petertodd.ca/hdsp.php and the only place it mentioned 24 bit was down toward the bottom, implying that it wasn't supported. But now that I know it is and looking through the source for jack, it would appear that by default, it will open the device in 24bit mode, that's good.

[Alsa-devel] 24bit hdsp

2003-05-29 Thread David E. Storey
Folks, what would it take to support 24bit audio in the hdsp driver? Would it take away from the number of available channels? I'd like to use an Alesis AI-3 (mostly due to cost) with my multiface, but I'd like to be able to utilize all 18 channels the multiface provides. Is there any way I can he
