Hey, list!
Im a bit of a newbie on this list, so forgive me if I do something wrong
(as usually happens. ;)
Anyway, I am working on a realtime sound application for use on stage in a
band setting. The purpose is for general prerecorded sound effects,
sequencing, and real time singal processing(like from a guitar to an amp).
It appears that in order to do this, i am going to need to use a sound card
with low latency, as well as a low latency kernel. (I'll most likely strip
the whole operating system down to the very minimum so that my application
is essentially the only application that needs to be scheduled).
My question is this-- where can I find a card that is both linux
compatible, and low latency. Although I've done some serious reading on
writing my own drivers, and im about a step away from doing it for some
preexisting card, i'd prefer to use some preexisting card. The other
problem is that my budget restricts me to about $200 or so. I mean i could
probably sqeeze about $300-400 if i really needed to.. but Im a poor college
student. (what can I say?) anyone know of a decent card that I could use
in this price range? I would really apprecaite your feedback.
Thanks
Craig
