Why not get a focusrite?
Don't know which one I should get. And how much could I get out of my GoXLR Mini?
Well which one comes down to compatibility and features you need, which I don't know atm heh. But I take it you ran the GoXLR script and it's still not working?
I want to connect my e-piano, speaker, mic and headphones. I think it would be nice to have one extra input for maybe a console in the future or some other stuff. I ran the script. Don't know where the problem rly lies. Had the same problem on vanilla arch. It worked one time but hiccups but when I rebooted it didn't work anymore. Strange...
Well this would be my last resort but I don't know if this will work
mod note: command removed to prevent potential issues for other people in the future
Worth a shot.
So basically 2 XLR, Mini in/out. Most things should do that. The caveats outside that is do you need phantom power and what kinda output connections do you speakers etc need.
Right now 3.5 to 2x6.35. But with focusrite I should get new cables anyway
2 Line Ins would be perfect
I'd kinda like to know what that script is automating but I'd say just look for interfaces that fit your needs then check for compatibility. However you're on a desktop so as long as you've got a PCIe slot you can go internal too.
I don't know any internal with XLR-Port for my mic. If I go with smth like this : Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen it should be alright. It has all the ports I needed. Do I need to setup it up in any kind or is it more hardwarebased than GoXLR?
It's hardware based but an 8i6 will be kinda overkill for what you said you wanted/needed heh. Even a 6i6 would be overkill heh.
I'm looking at the GoXLR stuff atm
There are some PCIe cards with breakouts for XLR, quite a few actually but might be too pricey. Normally the card has a breakout that will do XLR or unbalanced to a board or raw input.
BTW Is jackd running? This GoXLR script looks basically like what my session audio start up script is.
Look at this script I'm not ready to give up, but I am ready for bed...F(*king need for sleep!
Think external is better if at some time I won't be using a tower anymore. Don't know how to look it up.
How to look up what? Jackd? just open a task manager or in a terminal
ps auwx | grep jackd
ps auwx | grep jackd
marcus 3218 0.0 0.0 6860 2492 pts/1 S+ 18:09 0:00 grep --color=auto jackd
I'll come back later. Going to eat now
So it's not running, do you have jackd installed? If you don't install le asap! However the script should have installed it for you. Did the script give you any errors ?
I also noticed there are two versions one won't work in arch it's debian based.
Tomorrow perhaps we can run through the two scripts below but I'm not ready to write this off and say "go spend money." From what I see in the scripts it's very similar to my set up. I just sets the real time priorities in pulse, sets the name for alsa, assigns the sinks for alsa to jack etc. I think if we just go through the script we can get this.
The script should have installed jack. It also asked me to install it.
It should have also started it so I'm wondering where it crapped out. However with it assigning the sink to jackd you in theory won't get sound until jackd is running.
From what I know jackd is Jack2 package right?
I'm fairly sure both jack and jack2's daemons are just jackd once installed but I could be wrong as I use jack.
In the script the package was called jack2 so I think that's it.
yeah the script calls for jack2 but that won't be the daemon when it's running.
Just to check do
ps auwx | grep jack
