The Mobile Pre looks nice. If I read this correctly, it will provide two output pairs, which is important for DJing. You might also want to take a look at the much cheaper boxes like the Audiotrak Mayas. As multichannel PCMCIA cards are in general much more expensive, USB is the only way to go in cost effective audio interfaces for DJs, regardless of what the Jack folks are saying. ;) One nice thing with USB is, that you can setup ALSA on your laptop in advance, then take it to the shop and just test an interface in how good it works. For multichannel interfaces you should also get the asoundrc from the Quattro page on alsa-project.org and try things like "aplay -D q4 some.wav" on your machine with any USB interface. USB audio might be flawed in its specification, but in many cases it Just Works (tm). Jack is one of those cases where you might run into problems. But I remember, that on the first Linux Audio Dev conference this year, several of the developers present had USB boxes (e.g. the M-Audio Quattro) The rich and famous had RME PCMCIA cards, of course. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
