If you make the signal of longer duration, you will need to buffer the time difference. If you make the signal play faster you will get gaps in your stream.. Flo -- Palimm Palimm!

Consensus is that USB.2 has more bandwith than USB.1 but latencies (and jitter) stays the same, that is to say in the milisecond range. (Two miliseconds for a roundtrip.) The OS in use along with its associted drivers may or may not add to this. As far as I know, MacOs on PPC doesn't, Linux on Intel doesn't. Various Microsoft products (on Intel) reportedly do. (Dunno about Linux on PPC.) Please check your Internet sources for what kind of setup they were talking about? mvh // Jens M Andreasen

I use my griffin imic usb for recording my dj sets, plugged into my Ecler HAK320. It's a very nice sounding card that does 24bit 48khz, however full duplex is currently a problem with jack. Alsa and oss work fine in full duplex but jack doesn't yet. This is a problem with the alsa drivers for a few usb card that hasn't been addressed yet, though I have put a bugreport in about it and hopefully it will soon. question 1, yes, except a bit more flexible. 2. I record at 16bit 44. and am very happy with the quality of the recordings. For recording from vinyl it is much more important to have a good mixer and good needles. I use the Ortofon Elektro's (the white ones) and recommend them. Using any of the ortofon needles is a good idea especially the nightclub or elektro's. The shure whitelabels are also good. I'm guessing by your mixer you do scratching so the elektros or shures are the best bet. Scratchers should keep away from eliptical needles, ie any of the ortofon e series. I only ever use Ortofons. I'd keep away from anything made by anyone but ortofon or shure. Don't try recording with Stanton needles... also the mixer might make a bit of difference. Hope it's all good, Loki

It should work with recent driver versions. With a mixer, you probably don't need things like a preamp or hi-Z inputs. Something very simple like the Edirol UA-1X might suffice. Yes. (Nowadays, all operating systems have built-in ASIO-like features.) Probably not, but it wouldn't hurt. :-) (And the perfect way to record CDs is to rip them digitally.) HTH Clemens
