New PCI motherboards are still available, and many wholesalers have "new old stock" of what were high end, i.e. extreme gaming, motherboards from just a few years ago. Also many, somewhat older, server motherboards have PCI slots. I've found new(ish) high end motherboards to work extremely well with older professional audio cards.
Another approach I also use to keep legacy, but very high quality, audio interfaces working is to operate them in an old refurbished machine that is a Linux "thin client". I do my actual audio creation and editing work on a Linux cluster and just use NetJACK to send the audio to the thin client and audio interface of my choice. This should work for recording as well, but I don't do much recording in the studio anymore since the advent of high quality multichannel portable audio recorders such as the Zoom H2n which allow me to go to the artist/concert hall/ambient location and capture recordings there. Some of my work (which used Rosegarden) can be heard on the streaming audio site: http://www.lowcostrestaurantmusic.com on the "Jazz Spectrum" and "Space of Hearts" streams. Hope this helps! P.S. Google gmail is still bouncing non-government emails from outside the USA so I recommend users get email addresses with another provider. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list [email protected] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
