Greetings:
Many thanks to all who responded to my orginal query. I just purchased
a brand new Delta 66 on eBay, for a very good price, with cables and
breakout box included. I'm looking forward to finally having some more
professional recording capability here.
I'm still undecided about the mobo. Is it possible for me to continue
using an 800 MHz machine for recording ? I have 512 MB RAM, which seem
like it should be plenty, and I have a fair amount of free drive space.
Money's tight, so I'll stave off buying the mobo if my current system
will do for small-scale multitracking. Any & all advice will of course
be galactically appreciated !
Before I got my athlon box back in January I had my delta66 in a PII 400
system w/768M RAM and was able to do live recording/mixes with ecasound
playing 4 tracks from disk and recording a new track live. I wasn't doing
much effect processing, just panning and amplitude controlled by ecasound
control oscillators. If I remember correctly I was running jack at -p256
and -n2. Latency was almost noticeable, but bearable.
