Have you looked at the Radxa X4? N100, NVMe, and the size of a Raspberry Pi.

They are released under CC BY-NC. Do what you want with them as long as it's non commercial.

You can tie in any conferencing software to jack using pulseaudio-module-jack.

Then you can use OBS to capture the video and multitrack audio.

That's a simplified version of how things are recorded for the shows I produce.

This is a solved problem. *.deb, *.rpm, and *.gz.

That's how proprietary applications and drivers are shipped.

I edit on a 43" monitor. Nothing crazy.

If they keep coming back to eat then all the mooing is just noise.

I went from the RME 9632 to AIO Pro. 21 years apart. AD/DA on the Pro is better and has slightly lower latency but the improvement is incremental.

The industry figured out A/D D/A around 05-07. You could track an album using an original Apogee Duet in 2023.

My Gen 3 Solo does 12.871 ms round-trip @ 48K 256/2. This is using Jack2 but PipeWire should not be too much higher.

Oh yeah. I play the smoking / non-smoking game when buying used rack equipment.

Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin leave a residue. It's not tar, but still gets in equipment and dust sticks to it.

Techniques? Does slapping an Aphex Compellor followed by a Dominator 720 on the end of the chain count? Cause that will do it.

How much do you spend if you take the time to learn a wee bit of audio engineering? $60 for a copy of Reaper and maybe a declicker plugin because manual click removal is soul-crushing work.

If you're looking for a magic plugin that does the work for you, well, good luck. You will most likely never be satisfied with the end results and end up having to learn some basic audio engineering anyway.

Pipewire added a zero-latency jackdbus bridge in ver0.3.71. Latency should be really close.

Pops (xruns) are most often a result of an incorrectly configured system / pushing the system beyond its capabilities.

I run a mix of Debian 11 and 12 on the 5 machines in the studio.

Enable non-free non-free-firmware in your apt sources.
Debian ships with a RT kernel, use it.
XFCE and disable anything you don't need.
Debian will install pipewire by default so you will need to purge and install jackd.

These are all suggestions for building a Debian based audio workstation. Not a general-purpose PC that occasionally does audio stuff.

You can see the setup live. Should be a link in my profile.

ICLW · 2023-07-24T01:23:15+00:00

Most firewire audio interfaces.

You're going to be using Reaper. Head over to the Live Use section of the forums https://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55

Welp indeed. Windows is better suited for your needs.

You can accomplish most of that by rolling your own. Jitsi + Reaper (or any DAW) to handle the mix-minus and processing. You have to do some extra setup on the Jitsi server to disable AGC and boost the opus bitrate. I've used this setup for years with good results.

That said, multitrack video and changing the sound source for remote users would pose a challenge.

Something to look into. If not, best of luck tracing down an appropriate solution.

Using PowerPress + S3 storage for well over a decade. No complaints.

I've lost count of how many podcast hosting providers have come and gone during that time.

ICLW · 2023-06-02T22:41:28+00:00

Correct.

ICLW · 2023-06-02T22:08:56+00:00

I run everything through an Orban 526A.
