Envy24control is out there, the need may not really exist.
I'm looking at getting an M-Audio Delta 1010
for the
music workstation I'm building and have a few questions
about supporting hard/software requirements. Does the
1010 route all ten inputs discretely into the PCI
interface such that there is no need for a hardware
mixer to process the inputs? If so, what software
provides the best alternative to an eight channel
mixer?
depends what you want to do with it.
if you just want to set levels, configure the card's options,
and patch inputs to outputs, try envy24control.
if you want a more full-featured mixer, I dunno...
qamixer might be useful: http://www.suse.de/~mana/kalsatools.html
ardour has a pretty nice /flexible mixer even if you don't record. but
that requires jackd and some configuration of inputs/outputs.
but if you just want a consistent mixing desk, once configured you could
save it as a session and load that when you want to mix.
note that you would probably use this in addition to envy24control.
i have been using Ardour expressly for this purpose. It has the
flexibility and thru LADSPA plugs the ability exists for EQ, fx, etc. it
is an extreme under usage for Ardour but hey, it is an applicable use
nonetheless.
Are the outputs assignable or are they tied to
their respective inputs?
Assignable with envy24control.
What other hardware do I need
aside from input sources, cables, balanced to 1/4" TIP
adapters, amplifier(s) and speakers to handle 8 channel
recording/playback?
all you need is some audio sources that you can connect with
1/4" plugs ...
