Better than
that, the ZKM has a pretty amazing eight-speaker
system in the Kubus theatre.
Is any of the music stuff that was presented (Neuron, then the
composer's exhibit) available online now?
I understand there were some licensing problems with the broadcast of
live music from the event.
So that's
what those eight soundcard outputs are for!
Heh... RME? M-Audio? ;-)
There is another use for eight analogue outputs if you have an
analogue desk with 'tape' monitoring. You can hit the 'tape' button
on each channel and get a comparison of the original signal with the
post-processed sound. That's why I got an eight-output device,
anyway.
