are you using the 7.13 drivers then?
I know aardvark cards can freak out over the weirdest things... when I first bought my Q10 XP decided that it HAD to be a network card and DHCP was always messing with it :)
I tweaked XP by formatting the drive and installing DeMuDi Linux :)
but
At least in the XP SP1 era msconfig has a bug that requires product reactivation each time it's used. I called MS wondering about it and they said don't use it... use services.msc which if typed in Start->Run will bring...
Their tech support gave me some wrong information when I was trying to get a compatability question figured out before purchace... fortunatly the wrong answer caused me to not buy it... and I went with Edirol.
But I know your pain... I run http://asg.hopto.org (the Aardvark Support Group) ...
I'm running DeMuDi (RC1.3.0) and it completely kicks my old DAW's (XPpro & SONAR 2XL) butt... inexpensive ($0) and a heck of a lot more stable and lower maintenance... no tweaking, etc... heck I didn't even need to install anything (except for video stuff)
For midi I use Rosegarden... audio is...
I'm in the market for a used midi keyboard controller in the $300 range... any ideas of specific models I should look at? I'd preferr weighted keys... the sounds on the keyboard itself don't matter as it'll just be controlling software...
I'm a drummer and know little of these things...
hmm... not really... 11ms is realtime generally speaking... it's just that some people crank it down to 1ms with a crapload of softsynths and plug ins and wonder why thery have problems :)
are you recording to an external hard drive? if that lacie is firewire and youre trying to use a...
<sarcasm>
just think... all I did was install an audio optomized Linux distribution... I know those nongraphical install prompts can be so challenging compaired to doing it all manually in Windoze...
</sarcasm>
I'm slightly intoxicated so I'll be haoopy if I make any sence... does the board take an adat card/ad-on?... if you can get adat outputs for it then you could get an RME card to you could plug all 32 channels in to the computer... generally at 44.1khz though... but 32 channels of workroom is...
are you recording though an onboard soundcard or creative? It could be clock jitter. Hopefully it's mixed sampling rate though. no idea ho to check it in CE
Jack is pretty much like rewire. It makes virtual "outputs" that different audio programs can connect to. But in general JACK support is more diverse than rewire... like you can't hook WMP or WinAMP to Rewire... but you can hook linux's xmms up to Jack. because the developers don't have to...
It's a not so friendly video from the Jehad Media Battalion wanting us out of iraq.
One nice thing about running linux is I can care less about links I click and things I download than the average windoze user :)
I use it in my DeMuDi workstation... I like it... very nice once you get JACK figured out... I switched from XP and SONAR 2.2XL over the winter.
but basically... linux audio works differently than Mac or PC... there are no all-in-one solutions that are decient... but with JACK you can take...
