Hi,
Maybe a silly off-topic question, but how would, say, 4 ART Usb devices
connected (and 'jack'ed with alsa_in or zita_ajbridge) compare to 1
(firewire?) device with 8 XLR inputs ? Is having multiple USB devices
for audio a good idea on Linux (or in general) ?
Thanks,
Kees

Subject: [LAU] small usb interface (1in 2out)

hi,
sorry to post YAThread about usb interfaces but I need a small usb one
with 1 in and 2 out (basically a mic and a loud stereo out).
I have seen the 2 following ones and I wonder if you guys and girls
could give me some wise advices about them (or any other tip really):
- esi ugm96:
www.esi-audio.com/products/ugm96/
the output seem weird, there's a line-out and a headphone
out. wondering if there's any difference between the 2 (i.e. can I use
both as mono-out?).
pros: very small, +20v for mic input
cons: no level control, wondering about outputs..
- m-audio fast track usb:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrack.html
pros: input/output levels, cheap
cons: RCA output (bouh)
hi yvan!
i don't know about those devices, but i just purchased an ART USB Dual Tube Pre and
am very happy with it. works ootb as a class-compliant USB device, with no drivers or
firmware required.

i believe it meets your requirements (and more) -- here in Canada, the street price is
about CDN$155.
cheers!
