Paul,thank you for all you work that you have done. I am new to linux and still getting my head around JACK. it shouldn’t be that hard considering i had to teach my self Scope.

Oh yeah i did laugh:)

I said earlier on Planet Z tonight, there is a world of amazing audio software made with lots of love that is there for me to create with,this software compares to the DAWS and plugins that you pay lots of $$$$$ for.
But the cost is not the point! i am not being cheap by wanting to use linux. i have already paid an absolute fortune out in hardware and software.

why cant i use what i have paid for on what ever OS i like!

If i am going to buy a Protools rig i would want the same option, which i am going to do……because I hate Cubase. (sorry Qbase fans)

Logic audio is not available for pc and i am stuck with 5.5 with no support, it does’nt even use my hardware properly, memory or processor.

And the BIG one, my loveable Creamware/SonicCore Scope has no native recording software!!!!!!!

It could have a better play in the market if it did.

Its all about the art and making “Noise” and people having the power to create in there home studio.

I recorded an artist in 2005 on a p3 X library server with a luna 3 DSP via Behringer ada8000 at 24/48khz.
JJJ still plays that recording today.

so its not the quality of the recording its the quality of the art being made!

I am not a tweak geek, i just like the art form, no avenue should not be disregarded, left out or over looked, because the pleasure that could be found could be priceless.

thanks for reading my rant about art and the technology that allows us to do it.

maybe you can buy such a dsp for 150$

but the XITE-1 box has 18 SHARC dsps, and a single sharc is way stronger regarding audio than the dsp you mentioned.

18×150=2700$ and then you have to bring them into one box, make them interact in one system with routing optiones, and develop very high quality synths and effects.

Good look!

What a stupid comparision….

Actually there is a new granular synth plug-in being shown at Frankfurt Messe by Sonic Core, called the Gizzmo. It is the first new synth architecture for this platform in many years. SC just took over things a year ago, and now are showing the first results of their renewed commitment, including this new XITE hardware.

I will say this: despite the relative challenges of developing for DSP hardware, the simple fact of the matter is that DSP processors are coming down in price/performance just as general-purpose processors are. That means, simply, these things aren’t going away. So I do appreciate James bringing them up from time to time, even if most of my time will remain on the CPU.

I think this device is probably priced a bit higher than a typical CDM reader would be looking for (new at least), but I might be wrong on that as I am just gathering from the comments that I’ve read here over the last few years. That may not be a bad thing for SC at all though, as I think a lot of Creamware’s problems over the years were from positioning their cards too low in the market, and dealing with the support issues and badmouthing that resulted from it.
