Just genius!!!
But since my mother language is not English there are some parts I can't quite
undertand... could you post the lyrics?
Hey all,
Noticed the Phase88 in the new Musician's Friend catalog - very,
very attractive price for such a loaded interface. I have two
questions:
1) Is it supported under ALSA? I've done a bit of research and it's
difficult to find anything on the Phase88. It looks almost exactly like
the EWS88 MT, straight down to the layout of the breakout A/D conversion
box. In fact, a post on RAP hints that it might just be a rebranding:

2) Does it sound decent? I'm currently using an M-Audio Delta44 and
dying to get more channels. This is much cheaper than a Delta1010. If
I had the cash now to drop on a 1010, I'd do it, since I know the
M-Audio stuff rocks. I've been unable to find any reviews online, web
or Usenet.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here's a link to the Tape Op article from the site of
the guy that sells the tube mic pre kits:

Poke around the site, you should find some interesting
stuff.

Hello all:
I am looking for advice on using a Shure sm57 microphone directly into the mic
input of a Creative sbawe64 gold soundcard. I am using an impedance matching
XLR to 1/8" adapter and I have raised the "capture" level in the mixer.
To record anything (say using arecord) I have to crank up the mic-in level to
full and the result is that I get a lot of hiss and the signal is still
pretty quiet.
Do I need an external preamplifier to use the sm57? If so where can I go to
find one or schematics to build one?
Or is there a simpler way?
Thank you for any suggestions,
Paul

I own one and I would say that doing multichannel recording or monitoring
is not possible. Perhabs using two soundcards would work, but don't expect
them to run in sync.

Hi.
I'm confused about whether or not I have a low-latency kernel, and if not why
not. I installed the multimedia kernel and booted into it but:
[root@olaf joe]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.22-21mm.1mdk (dtholen(a)klama.mandrake.org) (gcc version 3.3.1
(Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-4mdk)) #1 Tue Oct 28 15:05:18 CET 2003
[root@olaf joe]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency: No such file or directory
Does this definitely mean I don't have low-latency? Any ideas why not? Can't
identify anything relevant in /var/log/messages.
Does /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency relate to the pre-emption patches or Andrew
Morton's low-latency patches or both or what?
Thanks for any help.

That's probably because these are the only ports the sound card directly supports. (I can't be sure, I don't own one) The multichannel support is probably only available when you send an encoded digital stream to the card (something like AC3 for example) and the card then decodes it with an onboard chip for multichannel sound.
Cards like these are generally not true multichannel cards in the sense that you would use for professional audio applications. They are consumer grade cards that feature onboard multichannel decoding so that Joe wintel user can have his surround sound while watching DVDs on his computer.
You could try looking around in the documentation available on ALSA's sound card matrix, online documentation or wiki.

Yeah, it looks to be, but just to make sure, what all should I see to make sure? (BTW I got it working decently using the sdl option... I don't know how preferable that is.)
Thanks,
Matt
