Hi Friends!
I've been more or less absent from this list the last years (oh, so many
new names here!) but do want to say hi again and maybe share some songs
and projects with you. I'm currently making a living with music (mostly
as a mixing engineer), which in my case means that I'm too often totally
broken, but things are slowly getting better and better. I do all my
work on Kubuntu with the KXstudio repos connected to it. Well, here we
go:
My self: A Journey
==================
I love, play and works with almost any kind of music. This is a sort of
musical shamanic drum journey. If the beginning is too boring, just
start from around 2 minutes. I'm playing guitars, bass, and drums ( +
drum sequencing) here. DAW: Mixbus32C. Video edited in Kdenlive. Yes,
the video is a real amateur work, but that's the way it is.

Malin Larsson: Hälsingevalsen
=============================
Malin was in my small studio and recorded a demo cover for the Swedish
folk-inspired song, Hälsingevalsen. I play all instruments here as well.
DAW: Mixbus32C. Video edited in Kdenlive.

Ola Stinnerbom: Sapmi Power
============================
Ola is a South Sami native and yoiks to traditional, EDM (as this song
is) and many other music genres. I mixed and mastered the whole album
this song belongs to and several singles he has done. Mixed in
Mixbus32C.

I'm now starting to get my own stuff out, so stay tuned, and: enjoy!

Hi list,
I know that having different soundcards for in and out will lead to
clock deviations and is generally not a wise thing to do, but my
question is differently:
Surprisingly it works quite well with ALSA, but not so much with jack.
Both is from Pd. Jack has a plethora of settings, so this could have to
do with it and make my blanket statement above too simplistic, but I
wonder is there a general design in jack which makes it harder to rund
different cards for i/o or do i have the wrong settings? Where to look at?

Fernando Lopez-Lezcano discussed the pitfalls of using the MOTU AVB
external audio interfaces with Linux in his paper [1] and also in the
keynote at LAC-19.
Let's start another thread around this card.
Fernando mentioned that different firmwares expose different issues, but
downgrading is possible. Issues are:
1. Channels are not persistent and swap around.
2. Total number of channels has been reduced in newer firmwares.
3. An endless card aquisition loop between Jack and Pulseaudio caused by
the long time the card needs to switch sampling rate.
4. Seemingly erratic behavior, opening the device fails, fails again,
again, then works suddenly.
I have a couple of questions and experiences.
Is there a table of the firmware versions somewhere (linuxaudio wiki?)
which tell me which versions has which features (removed)?
Are all the Class Compliant models having the same quirks as listed
above? For example the
MOTU UltraLite AVB versus the MOTU 624 AVB?
Is it possible to use the Thunderbolt port to connect the card to a
Linux computer?
Why can't I tell ALSA to use only the first 2, 4 whatever channels of
the device? I can only open the device if all channels are connected. Is
this always like that or is that a limitation of MOTU's implementation?
On my laptop with only one USB bus, If I connected the MOTU 624 AVB and
then another high speed usb device, the computer could not connect the
later, because the MOTU reserved all the bandwith for itself. Connecting
the other device and then the MOTU worked.
