Just got my march issue.. ARDOUR on the cover.. YEAH
BABY YEAH....
but there is some confusion..
the author writes that the m0audio delta66 has "12" input channels.. ?
(page 65 under the qjackctl image)
I don't get it.. are they digital inputs?
I thought them-audio had 4x4 ...?
As I understand it, the 4 analog inputs + 2 SPDIF inputs divide into 2
channels (left/right) each, so you could record 12 tracks at once. But
you could also think of it as 6 channels with left/right pan on each.
I seem to remember reading that the audio capture always comes over the
PCI bus as 12 channels, but alsa's plughw can reduce it to 2.
