hey there - i have the HDSP 9652 and love it - it was a bit of a pain to it really working at first, because there was a driver
issue that we (the
linux audio community in general) were having a hard time ironing out.
the
issue didn't exist with the digi9652 card that was
almost exactly the
same,
just the HDSP 9652
in reality though you have to consider what other gear you have - the 9652
was necessary for me because I needed it to interface via ADAT light pipe
to
24 channels on my digital mixer. But if I didn't
have the digital mixer
to
do my A/D conversion, the 9652 would've been wrong
because it doesn't have
a
breakout box with analog inputs like the multiface or
something else -
the
HDSP 9652 has 24 channels optical i/o and a stereo
spdif - that's the only
in and out of that card...
TotalMix doesn't run under linux, it doesn't matter. Under linux, you'll
be
using a program called hdspmixer - it's the exact
same thing (am I
remembering that right? yes I think so)
what is your studio/other gear situation like?
Hi Aaron,
I will use the HDSP mainly with adat I/O and s/pdif I/O, so I think it's the
right choice.
Could you please be more detailed regarding HDSP 9652 problem?
Thanx!
