[Ardour-Users] suitable multi-channel recording card?

[david headon]

RME- Hammerfall HDSP 9652- 
 
plus


Focusrite OctopreLE with ADAT card option.
Slightly better preamps than the Saffires (i HAD the Saffire Pro 26i/o - sent it back)

only problem for now is i'm limited to 48khz.

The Hammerfall goes up to 96khz though, and i'm looking at other i/o options .
When i bought this stuff, relying on Freebob was not an option.
Perhaps i'd decide differently today, but this setup is very reliable.

Focusrite Saffire Pro 10io (although I think it might be EOL) has served me well
for most of this year.. 

However the ffado driver and mixing app is not as stable or reliable as what is
available for the Delta 1010 .. I used to have one of them.. 

I don't regret the change though as the Focusrite has a better sound.
