Bullshit. I'm on pro and can't use Fable anymore. Fable's gonna stay on top maybe a month or two more, and they want to loose customers like this? I really don't understand their strategy. I cancelled my pro, gonna try something else

I dont think your comment justifies calling out any form of simplistic view. It doesnt make sense. All the big players are bad. They"re companies, their one and only purpose is to make money and they will do whatever it takes to do it. Most of which does not serve human kind.

Thank you for being awesome! I still use RockBox on my old tiny 8GB "mp3" (flac really) player

Hey man, thanks for elaborating, I do understand the limits you are presenting much better now. Aaand, this actually makes me want one of those cards myself! I could just have one of those PCI cards and 3-4 of the Behringer ADA8200 and I could run ALL of my synths into my PC.

Because I don’t know of any USB device that can do 96 channels of pro IO

Holy crap, that's a lot of input channels, didn't know it was possible. I also have a Behringer ADA8200 that connect to the 1820 (ADAT) which gives me 16 inputs. I'll admit it's not enough to run all of my gear in at once and this is just a home studio. I can imagine 96 channels is very useful. Maybe 6x my setup would work = 96 inputs ;)

How are you clocking the cards?

You are obviously more advanced than me, not sure what you mean here. I'm using the NI card basically just for the output and the Behringer for inputs, 24/48. When recording, if there is a latency (which normally Bitwig can "fix") it's just a matter of moving the audio a couple of ms.

PCI

I've had earlier problems with PCI cards, in that they pick up a lot of internal noise from the motherboard, so I've stayed away from that after firewire/usb cards became available

Why do you want/need a PCI based card? Most audio interfaces run off USB these days and Linux supports almost all USB audio class-compliant cards.. Personally I use NI Komplete Audio 1 and Behringer UMC 1820 (yes, on Linux with pipewire and Bitwig you can use multiple cards!)

The good'ol "organize your stuff" problem. The problem with "categories" is that a) usually a "thing" can only belong to 1 category and b) a category often belong in a hiarchy of categories and can only be 1 place. So that is why I've used _tags_ instead, which is more of a many to many "flat" releation. Not sure I understood your comment correctly? ..I've certainly given this quite some thought already, but nothing is perfect

hehe! ..I come from Ableton on Win7. But, Bitwig (formed by ex-Ableton devs) saved the world for me as it is a) similar but better than Ableton (ofc subjective) and b) it runs on Linux! Check it out, take it for a spin!

You're most welcome! Yea, I know _exactly_ how you feel. This is why I had my last Win7 partition for so long, but now it's gone as there all I really need is available on Linux. Bitwig + u-he, what more do you really need ;)
