Hi ev Hi everyone ,i chose beat -Alx Plato

Nice. sounds dope !

Hi again, good luck everyone Feliz dia de Muertos

You know what I didn't read it properly that you wanted it to work without the computer being on. Leave your PC on all the time, problem sorted. The other suggestions are sensible. You could get a small passive switch box for a tenner if you need to maintain the exact signal path as is.

nice reels brah i really dont need any more tape decks but i also really want to make a tape delay out of a Tandberg, they have those badass nixie tube style VU meters which glow iridescant turquoise.... thats a good reason to buy something right? my ZK120 has the same thing but doesnt do delay unfortunately... you can peep it here.... along with my wack tape cuts back to weird wonderful hifi though..... my mate showed me this the other day, a tone arm that avoids tracking error, keeping the stylus lines up exactly with the groove through the whole record.... kinda cool

could you somehow use the aux send on the mixer to go to your interface, and run master out from the mixer to the speakers? so you jsut use aux send as a kind of "record mode".... duh i just realised mike already suggested exactly that.

Unfortunately most audio interfaces dont have any disconnect/standalone capability, they load their configuration from the running computer, these are the sort of things that set the RME miles apart from everything else. Easiest way to do what you want is to buy a cheap mixer and sub mix before the audio interface (like i say though, cost builds up to the price of an RME which is more reliable uses less CPU and has lower latency

I went a little bit into this a few months ago - http://www.digitalvertigo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=40089&do=findComment&comment=423107 I believe the Numark NTX1000 is 99% identical (made in the same factory and everything) and costs half as much (£349) The Reloop RP-7000 is also a good choice at £375.00

I have no formal knowledge about this sort of thing but I have always done things linear. It requires more gear but it's simple. I use a spare mixer that runs the line out from my recording computer (which is playing the tracks I've already laid down) and it mixes that signal with the live signal I'm recording. It seems to do away with all the latency issues. I never fucked with DVS until recently but I have a separate laptop I use for that so I record that just like I would real vinyl (I tend to use outboard effects so I kind of need to do this to record my effects anyway). If you're just working off of DVS I hear the newer Rane mixers can record the separate tracks straight into your computer but my setup is so antiquated at this point I haven't had a chance to try that out.

What mixer are you using?Does it have an aux output or sends? You may be able to have everything running through the mixer and use the alt/aux/send outputs to send to the duet, with the duet master output plugged into the mixer but only sending to the main out.

Remember when i said get an RME, now you know why, all these little things it can do soon add up to gizmo here and gizmo there, look i have just spent more than the RME would have cost.

Haha.. I have PLENTY of other collections if you want to continue their anguish...
