Just for start one fresh technical topic without fight...
Finally, after month of waiting, seem that the Linux developers have fixed my OLD features request for the Mediastation.
I have Windows XP OS too, but seem that there still is NOT possible install multiple Audio cards and mixing the all IN/OUT's under one application, because Win OS still dont have the drivers for install virtual cards.
( IF i'm wrong, please just let me know how is possible configure that, because I need to resolve this problem under XP too)
Under Linux OS now this is possible, the Jack ALSA developer have developed the patch and drivers for creating multiple Virtual PCI cards and external USB 2.0 cards.
http://www.sound-man.co.uk/linuxaudio/ice1712multi.html Under this new setup, that we wil release under the new ISO 2.0:
http://www.lionstracs.com/store/msiso-20-p-179.html the Mediastation is able to connect under USB 2.0 multiple Soundd cards, Like the all M-AUDIO or Pre Sounus Audio cards.
I made here some test with the M-Audio Audiophile USB and is working really nice.
Under this new drivers and the powerfull of the USB 2.0, you can connect how many external audio cards you like for expanding in realtime the all audio Inputs/Outputs ( or MIC ) that you need.
This for example for routing one external Lexicon hardware reverb, FX processors, TC-Electronics Voice tools... under the full MS JACK control.
With the AM2 CPU and USB 2.0 the system is really fast and still remain the 2.9ms latency.
Of couse we have still a lot of work for develope the new MS styles...but for this all new features the MS is really unique...
If you have some other OS suggestion let me know
