  • I’ve ran a 4 in, 4 out ADAT-CAT5 snake thingy on Linux, so 32 channels in and out. The remote end was synced via Word Clock with the Linux box providing master clock. RME RayDat for a soundcard, RME converters in the remote rack. Worked 100 % flawlessly, I even did live sound on it. ADAT is a ‘just works’ thing, go for it. You just need to understand that one device needs to be the clock master and others follow that.












  • The Linux way:

    • write a script: you can use the find command to find for example rars in a folder. find ~/thatfolder -iname ‘*.rar’ -exec uncompresscommand. Read ‘man find’ for specifics. Script’s first line is #!/bin/bash. Say ‘chmod u+x script’ to make it executable.

    • set up a systemd timer unit that calls a service unit that runs your script at intervals.

    • you can use something like for file in ~/thatfolder/* ; do sed trick that extracts the file extension and puts it in a variable ; case $variable in ; bunch of cases for different extensions. Variable $file will hold the source file name. Read up on bash scripting to figure it out.

  • Ite olen käyttänyt Linuxia iät ja ajat, mutta musassa pidin vielä Macistä ja Nuendosta kiinni. Kunnes joku nelisen vuotta sitten päätin että nyt riitti.

    Ja kyllä kannatti vaihtaa; Archissa ‘pacman -S pro-audio’ asentaa kerralla kaiken mahdollisen, projektit aukeaa näinollen samalla tavalla työpöydällä ja läppärillä, ei dongleja ja lisenssihölmöilyjä, Ardour on loistava ja plugarit samoin. Kaikki toimii upeasti, JACK-synkka sovellusten välillä on silkkaa ihanuutta.
