Those mixers don't replace my analog mixer for studio recording (or if you prefer a digital mixer or remote for Qtractor/Ardour mixers), those mixers are useful to handle the audio streams of the DAW, without extra latency, extra load, the risk to crash, the risk of update incompatibility issues. A simple example, excluding monitoring, external master recorder etc.: ####################### ############### #analog mixing console# #virtual mixer# ####################### ############### /\ | /\ | /\ | /\ | /\ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | mics effects ################### ########## synths # sound card # #software# etc. ################### ########## /\ | /\ | \/ | mics effects synth etc. A /\ and | are for several I/Os, not a just a single I/O. | \/ In a home studio you might have a usable analog mixer (or digital mixer and a remote mixer for software mixers), but neither the money, nor the space for an analog Neve with Flying Faders (or a digital replacement), so the way to go is to use a mixed set up. And btw. alsamixer to control the sound card is a PITA, but that's another issue. >Actually we could host on our own if we wish. Who is we? Can you do it? I'm not aware about any usable Linux FLOSS software mixer. Links to a package or to upstream are welcome.
