I'm planing to record electrical and acoustical
instruments
(including voice), and I do need MIDI and (maybe) SPDIF I/O.
Looking around in the net I have got the impression
that both
RME Hammerfall (PCI Interface + Multiface) and the Midiman Delta 1010
would be good choices and about equally supported in Linux.
Do you think that these cards would be comparable
regarding quality
and Linux compatibility?
First of all:
Thanks a lot for the responses I got on the list and by PM.
The links sent to me kept me busy some days ;-)
I have received (very positive) reactions regarding M-Audio Delta 1010,
but nowbody talked about RME Hammerfall cards. Is this just an accident
or do this cards have any drawbacks (i.e. regarding Linux support) that
I should know of?
The combination of a PCI (DSP) card and the Hammerfall Multiface looks
interesting to me. How is it running under Linux?
One of the qualities that let's me consider it (beside M-Audio Delta 1010)
is the possibility to use a loooong (firewire) cable, so I could put the
(noisy) computer in another room to record low level acoustic stuff.
