..sorry, I just sent half an e-mail by accident.
I was about to describe how I tried recording with my quattro:
arecord -d quattro1 -r 44100 -c 1 -f S16_LE test.wav
arecord -d quattro1 -r 48000 -c 1 -f S16_LE test.wav
arecord -d quattro1 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S24_LE test.wav
..and a few others. The sound is very much like it was sampled at a very low
samplerate and/or bitrate. Can someone paste me a known good arecord line
for the quattro, or does anyone know about this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Denis de Leeuw Duarte

Hello,
I've been successfully playing sound through my quattro for a short while,
but today when I tried to record, I found out that is is very noisy. It
sounds a bit as if the sound is sampled at too low a bitrate. I can't
imagine this is actually the case, so I'm probably doing something silly.
Here's what I did:
- I have Patrick Shirkey's .asoundrc.
- I stuck a (good) SM47 mic into input number one.
- I recorded like this:
arecord
arecord -d quattro1 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S24_LE test.wav
arecoarecord -d quattro1 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S24_LE test.wav
rd -d quattro1 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S24_LE test.wav

i'm new to pro-audio world and i need some advice about
how to setup a studio.
i got my PC setup with an RME HDSP-9652 + SPDIF A/D D/A converter.
Ardour works great. i'm planning to purchase a FocusRite
OctoPre/ADAT and a bunch of microphones.
i think i need speakers too.
Is there anything like digital speakers or digital amps which
can accept ADAT directly from my linux box and turn it into
sound? Or do i need to convert ADAT to analogue and plug
that into a conventional amp/speaker system?
Considering how much care i'm taking to record sound digitally,
without noise, it seems like i should also take care that
the speakers can actually playback my recordings without
too much distortion.
Anyone have any recommendations?

Okay,
Now that I have pretty much decided to give up the ghost on the intel8x0
as a hardware patchbay seems to be a better option, (and I think the
onbaord audio system may have shorted .., the driver now refuses to load
all setting are as they previously were)
Has anyone got any suggestions regarding playing cd's while not doing
audio work? (as there is no cd input on the delta66). Is there a player
that will read the digital audio and send it to the sound card .. such
as an unmentionable player from another OS? Or do I need to begin
ripping and converting to mp3 (yuck)
cheers

This is a first for audio applications.
Native Instruments Traktor just appeared on Freshmeat! :)
I guess some people are starting to take notice of the OSS community. Though
it isn't OSS in itself and not available for Linux (OS X, + a few marginal
os:es).
But the most interesting thing was that they used Freshmeat as a marketing
channel.

Hi - i´m studiing tonmeister. My first tip: spend money on room acoustics.
(record a sinus-sweep and screen it. any omni will do.)
this point is more important than what speakers you use, because speakers
sound different in different rooms.
You need a D/A-converter with balanced output and active monitors. active
monitors have tech. advantages vs. the combination amp/passive speaker.
i would go for gaithain speakers (all modells, 2000 - 5000 EUR), but this
is matter of tast. tannoy reveal cost about 250 $. i dont recomend ANY
genelec speakers or yamaha. i personally like reveal a lot, for me there is
no competition in this price range. most important is that you get no 'bad
surprise' when listening to your mix on hi-end monitors. even if reveal
don´t sound so spectacular, you will have no such surprise with them.
reserve most of your money for mics. what thing are you going to record?
HTH,
