Hello! 

I'm using an old Behringer UMC1820 and have no issues with routing.

So my opinion regarding hardware is always buy something that goes a long time, especially when you buy it as a 'personal' product.

Or make it part of the invoice for the project if it is for a client / part of it.

Regarding recommendations;

- It depends on the Showmachine, according to your signature you are on Windows 10.

For sound you then want to look for an audio device that has proper drivers / ASIO support for usage within Isadora.

Couple options here:

- https://www.thomann.de/intl/motu_ultralite_mk5.htm

- https://www.thomann.de/intl/tascam_us_16x08.htm

I am not saying that other products won't work, it is more that I used the above before / or a variant of said model.

Please also be aware that you need some converters / plugs to go from a line-out to the type of cable that your output is requesting.. They often have it split in XLR / and Line-outs.

An other option is to rent an audio-desk like an Allen and Health - SQ5. Since all those desks are also audio interfaces that you can pipe audio thru. Then from there you often have 8 outs (XLR) or you can simple attach a stage block to it to extend your options.

The nice thing about a audio mixer is that you can actually edit / set the mix in the space a bit clearer.

@armando ! Oh no....I did't you are right 

Also I will need it for Kinect V1 right?

Can you walk me on the Rosetta activation or procedure please? 

[Is there any uncompatibility using rosetta with others softwares?]

Thanks a lot

Hi everyone,
I'm putting together a project that needs 4 discreet stereo channels that can be cued independently.

So my instinctive solution is to use as audio interface/external sound card with 8 output channels then just use matrix routing to send the audio where I want it.

unfortunately I don't currently have such a device.

So I was wondering if any of you have any hardware recommendations or potential pitfalls that I need to look out for. 

eg. if I was to use an 8 channel audio interface like a scarlett or something from behringer etc.; would all 8 outputs be independantly addressable?

or would a 7.1 surround enabled external sound card be better for the money? (given that this project doesn't need the inputs) 

Thanks.

This is what I have tried on my own... any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

*also wondering why the text output from Isadora looks a little jaggy and not clean even when the resolution is set to 1080P

@jdachs Why don't you run the powerpoint on your machine on a second monitor and you yse the screen capture actor to import you ppt like a vide feed ?

@ril Hello. I've been testing RTMP streamer for 2 years now on an M1 MAX and I never experienced a crest turning on broadcast. Are you using Rosetta ? 

Hello all,

I have 2 questions about text spacing. My objective is to create a lower third for speakers with their name and title. I've added some screenshots created in keynote to help illustrate what I'm trying to achieve.

1. Is there a way to make the line spacing go into the negative value? I would like to make the 2 Name lines closer

2. In some cases the name is a little longer and would create a second line. Is there a method to automatically set the spacing of the "Title Text" to be of a certain distance if the "Name Text" is a single line or a double line?

I have tried taking the text height value of the "Name Line" actor, putting through a calculator to add a "space" value to it. However, if the height value doubles, the spacing does not scale accordingly.

Wow! Really appreciate this community's knowledge. Thank you very much

Hi Juriaan,

Thanks for your reply. Here is the screenshot of the Fireface UC Audio MIDI setup:

And a screenshot of an aggregate device I created with more than eight channels, but causes the same problem for me in Isadora (only first eight channels available):

As I said previously this is quite strange to me because all other audio software can see the full 18 inputs and 18 outputs of the Fireface UC. For example, in Reaper:

Thanks.

Jonathan.
