Hi Derek - Some colleagues and I have built up a system that we call "Audiopint" that's just like what you have in mind. You can see what decisions we made about hardware, and more at: http://audiopint.org/
Our systems boot a stripped-down Ubuntu from a USB pen drive, and they boot completely into PD so there is no requirement for a keyboard, mouse, etc. The thing to note about the audio was that we ended up getting better latency and sound quality (lower noise floor) by using a relatively inexpensive USB audio device rather than the mini-itx board's built-in audio. In my current system I actually have disabled the on-board audio. Let me know if you'd like to know about other aspects of the what/why for out setup.. best, -David Merrill On 6/30/07, Derek Holzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm currently shopping around for a small motherboard that I can put in a "headless" (no screen, mouse, keyboard) box as a laptop replacement for live performance. There's quite a few different processors to choose from on the Mini-ITX site, but I wonder if anyone has any experience using them for audio? Of course there's Intel Pentium M and Core, Core Duo and Celeron processors, as well as various VIA and Nehemiah CPUs. Any recommendable? Any to avoid? The system will be harddrive-less (Linux OS on CF card), so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. best, derek -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 174: "Water" _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
