Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to get a sound card(s) to work with
linux to record multiple audio inputs at the same time and track them. I
was looking at the Midiman 1010LT as I would want to process more than
four inputs at once, but I can't find out if you can use all of it's
inputs at the same time, or if there's any software that would even
allow such mad creations to be born. Any suggestions as to where to go
or what to use would be very helpful indeed.
Thanks,
Simon

You can get sound cards with more inputs, like those from RME. You can
run multiple sound cards as a single 'virtual' sound card if you do some
.asoundrc magic AND AND AND you sync all the cards through some hardware
method like Word Clock or a clock over ADAT or spdif.

Oh, absolutely! The M-Audio cards are a good choice for this. I've got
a Delta44 and the drivers and performance are both great. I can do all
four channels in and out, with effects, tracking, and monitoring with no
problem.

Check out http://ardour.sf.net to start. There's tons of cool software
out there that will help you do this.

Of course you can use all the inputs at the same time, and outputs for that
matter.
You need an app that is real-time friendly though, to be able to cope with the
load. Ardour would probably be your best choice.

I don't have a 1010LT, but my 66 works perfectly with
all inputs and outputs simultaneously.
A bit of googling and the alsa project page suggest that recent versions of
alsa support the 1010LT.

The answer of course is yes. The M-audio cards, and the RME multichannel
cards are fully supported in linux. You can do full multitrack,
multichannel recording with ardour, ecasound (cmdline), and various others.

Yes, with an M-Audio card (on the cheaper side) or an RME card (on the
more complex side) you can do that.
You probably want to route the sound internally through JACK, but that
depends on your requirements.
