I always find, whenever I loan Peter Van der Lindens’ “Deep C Secrets: Expert C Programming” book to a fellow colleague, I never get it back. For a while I had 10 or so spare copies to hand out as treats, but now I just refer everyone to this PDF:
https://progforperf.github.io/Expert_C_Programming.pdf
If you’re a C programmer, old or new, and haven’t encountered this book: Stop What You Are Doing And Go Read It! It’s amazing.
Same: a single StudioMix mixer with 2x FP10’s in the racks. This setup is just so lovely and functional I don’t want to upgrade it really, it just plain works. I have an old iMac as the DAW for the job, but the idea of replacing it with an ARM-based system, if it works, is so very appealing…
This is an awesome project.
I have a long-in-the-tooth investment in Fireware audio devices (Presonus) in my studio - 19” rack interfaces with 10 I/O’s, as well as the StudioMix mixer with 20 or so .. I’ve been keeping an aging iMac around to use all of this with and it still just plain works, but having the option to replace it with an rPi is really appealing. The system is mostly used for tracking, so having REAPER on the rPi, connected to all that FireWire gear, just seems such a nice idea…
I wonder what the load will be like, though? Can the latest rPi with PCI hat and Firwire interface handle 40 channels of audio over FireWire, I wonder? I know the issue would mostly be SD-card write speeds and so on .. maybe this disqualifies the rPi - but certainly there are other ARM-based SBC’s that this same technique could be applied to ..
