Over here in Thailand many DJ's have final
scratch and use 300kb mp3s
for an entire set, I hear it's happening more in Europe and the US
too.
I would lean towards FLAC files for performance on large PA systems, though I don't
know the CPU benchmarks for decoding FLAC versus extremely high bitrate mp3. I have a
feeling decoding vorbis needs more CPU than either.
Part of the specs require adding midi cc support
to jackEQ.
How do you feel about QAmix? It controls the sound card's hardware, therefore you get
all the advantages of ALSA's hardware support. With a Delta 1010LT this gives lots of
options. Obviously MIDI control on a software mixer like jackEQ would have even more
possibilities but I wouldn't want to ignore the option of hardware mixer control via
MIDI.
