Hi
Seeing as we have the ability, we'd like to record and mix @ 96Khz but
my band mates internal laptop sound chipset can't do any better than
48Khz hence he can't use it for mixing and he's looking out for
something that'd work well with ALSA thats guaranteed to be able to
run JACK (at least for playback) at 24-bit/ 96Khz.
Essentially I'd like two recommendations for this- a real budget
device that just has audio out (maybe 35mm input too) but also a
slightly more costly alternative with a phantom power capable XLR mic
input should he want to do overdubs at home.
Thanks!

Hi!
my name is Michael and I am a newby to this list as someone on the Orca
list pointed me in the direction of this list as regarding a question I
have.
I am running Ubuntu Lucid and was using Audio CD extractor for
extracting tracks from CDs.
I have one CD of a 2 disc set where only the first 10 tracks on the
second CD only want to be extracted to my music folder.
When I look at the check boxes in Audio CD Extractor I see all of the
check boxes checked apart from track 11 which doesn't appear at all.
I use the Orca screenreader and when I read the table with the arrow
keys I have track 1 check box checked, track 2 check box checked right
up to track 10, it doesn't say any status for track 11 and the next box
appears as track 12 and that is checked down to track 19 which is the
list track on that CD.
I notice that I get a message about the album not being recognised by
Music Brains or something and possibly asked if I want to submit the
album for adding to the database so I am wondering if this is the reason
while only the first 10 tracks are converted and sent to my music folder
so I don't get the whole of that CD when I copy the contents to my
Plextalk player.

I like the Edirol PCR1, but unfortunately it has a bug and doesn't
work on Linux yet.
But Usb 1.0 devices does not seem to be a big problem.

I am not so sure you will get that many recommendations given that you seem to
need 96kHz.
The problem is that usb1.1 doesn't have enough bandwidth to do 96kHz, at least
not when there is two channels each for input and output.
And usb2 didn't have an audio-standard for a long time, so all devices use
their own protocol and therefor don't really have a linux-driver.
If your laptop allows it, I can recommend a firewire-device like the focusrite
saffire pro24 which would do 4 analog inputs and 6 analog outputs at 44kHz,
48kHz and 96kHz. And additionally has spdif io and an adat input. And the
price is somewhere around 300€.

This device is for a laptop with no firewire or expresscard/PCMCIA
slots. We've got a saffire pro26 but can't afford another nor use it
on the laptop in question.

I still don't get why you want to have 96kHz but only need a stereo-out. For
quality? Why then go with a small TRS output? And why go with a cheap usb
soundcard? The output amplifiers and dac will be cheap, which will drastically
reduce that "gained" quality of 96kHz. Probably it will reduce the quality
below that of a better-brand 48kHz device...

I don't know OSS from a whole in the ground. I know it exists. I haven't

I think the original poster said something about not having Firewire on
the laptop in question, and apparently not having a modern PC Card
connection available, either. I don't know about that. My old laptops
have plain old PC Card connections on them, and apparently there are
many Firewire PC Cards available.
I'm not the original poster. My 5-year-old low-budget Toshiba laptop
came with a Firewire port. As did the Sony Vaio Superslim Pro my wife
used to have. Don't know about modern stuff, I don't have any of that
around here!

Yes, FW used to be common on mid to high end laptops. First Sony
pulled it off their PS3 then that ignited a trend that spread into the
PC world where FW has become rare on new laptops and there has been
rumours of the intentional 'murder' of firewire so these days you
often need an expresscard slot if you want firewire.

Thanks to Mr Mayer and Jeremy for pointing out that, if we could
afford it, we could potentially get a few different USB2 audio devices
that work with Leenooks'ah- they're all a bit pricey though
considering I have seen Fousrite Pro 26's going for £200
The Audio Control 1 would seem to be the device most closely the
fitting what I was hoping would be available but its twice the price
we were wiling to pay for something like that. Instead I think we'll
just cobble together an old deskop machine and slap a £10 firewire PCI
card in if it doesn't have firewire already and just lug the Pro 26 as
required until we can afford another such device.

However, since I own none of these devices, you should check with
owners to see how well they work, and which distro has an up-to-date
enough ALSA to support them.

So there are no known USB 2 audio cards that work with
ALSA or OSS?
I don't know. ALSA's site might have a list. I'm not the original poster. My 5-year-old
low-budget Toshiba laptop came
with a Firewire port. As did the Sony Vaio Superslim Pro my wife used to
have. Don't know about modern stuff, I don't have any of that around here!
Yes, FW used to be common on mid to high end laptops. First Sony
pulled it off their PS3 then that ignited a trend that spread into the
PC world where FW has become rare on new laptops and there has been
rumours of the intentional 'murder' of firewire so these days you
often need an expresscard slot if you want firewire. From what I've been able to find, you have to jump
through some hoops to
get that last device working.
Once you get any of these working, I'd like to see someone confirm that
they can use more than 4 channels in each direction under Linux.
If these things really work, I think there should be a good bit of
effort to get the word out since I still see a lot of places insisting
that there are no USB 2.0 HiSpeed audio devices supported under Linux.

The latest ALSA snapshot has some jumps built-in, but there are no
mixer controls, and playback has regular burps because the sample clock
isn't properly synchronized. This device needs a separate driver, like
the UA-101 already has.
The E-Mu 0202/0404/TrackerPre are also supported (playback and capture
should work), but I don't know the overall status.

Probably not.
Thanks for the laugh! When I bought my laptop NEW it wasn't a mid or
high end laptop! In fact, I think it had been discontinued that year. ;-)

Vendors continue to chase cheapness. I wouldn't characterize that as
intentional "murder" of Firewire. My laptop has a PS/2 mouse port, for
instance. Now laptops don't come with enough USB ports for me to plug in
mouse, keyboard, MIDI and USB soundcard ...
Outside of Toshiba or Asus EEEPc, I don't recommend cheap or "budget"
laptops.
