From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Focusrite and ADAT on Linux (lemmy.world)

Anyone have experience using ADAT to extend their Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (or similar devices)?

I can buy a used Focusrite Saffire PRO 40 for about 60Euro and wanted to use it to extend my Scarlett 18i20 to get a total of 16 Mic inputs, but I don't have any experience with ADAT and would prefer not to buy something that'll turn out to be a 60Euro brick.

I have basically this setup. Word of warning, use bnc word clock. Don't trust adat word clock. I dont care if people say it works fine, its way too risky and plenty of good interfaces have wordclock, if it doesn't, its not worth gettung.

Also, adat cables suck ass and are highly fragile. If you dick around behind your stuff and it gets jostled a lot, watch out for problems. If you set and forget and keep the dust off your equipment theyre generally fine.

I learned this from years of real world experience!
