:Perhaps the SB PCI64 (Ensoniq audiopci / ES1370) cards are interesting for
:you? These are PCI boards don't use ISA DMA, and have in addition 2 stereo
:outputs. (ie. 2 in / 4 out). You'll still need some hardware modification
:to sync the clocks.

:Frank.


Please, could you explain why we have to synchronize the clocks ?

I understand we have to synchronize video cards or frame grabbers but why
synchronizing
audio cards ? Can't we just see them as separate 'recorders' ?

I ask you this because this set up (3 or 4 AudioPCI) interests me a lot...

(AudioPCI are cheap and high S/N ratio so -> cheap multitrack)
