Is he annoyed that someone else got there first or that he didn't?
Because the idea in itself isn't that revolutionary. What is
revolutionary is that it isn't owned by Sony. Although who knows what
big multinational has control of Stanton?
Have to say that the case looks suitably spacey and futuristic. It's a
pity that it cannot record both streams. On the main page it says they
originally had two soundcards. I wonder why they haven't secured a deal
to use a card with multiple sample synced i/o. Could be that the cost of
that technology at the moment is to high so they have gone for an early
release to get a jump on the market.
Pity they don't use ALSA yet.
