How many channels going at once with those specs you posted? How's the hardware mixer? bump, great questions, i wonder the latency at 96k via TB3? It will be the same speed. |

Well now I feel like a genius too, thanks.
Did anyone here know "Random Access Memories" by Daft Punk's primary converter was the Lynx Aurora (not the N)?
That album won album of the year at the grammys.
And you know why? Because they used Lynx converters.  I recorded a great drummer recently, in a great room, with great mics, through a brand new Daking console to a rack of original Lynx Aurora converters. Guess how it sounds? 😀 Great with Daking flavor? |

The old Lynx converters don’t sound bad. In comparison they are a bit thin, but that is easy enough to compensate for since you’re monitoring through them. They were pretty ubiquitous 10 years ago.

Reaper shows me 1.1/1.4 @64 samples buffer @96khz via T-bolt 2 on a Mac mini m1. I think that is in/out. 2.5ms round trip. How many channels going at once with those specs you posted? How's the hardware mixer? Can record from all 24 inputs at those numbers. Do you mean for mixing with plugins etc? Not sure exactly if that's what you want to know. Mixer is good. It takes a minute to learn it, but once you do, hardware monitoring is good. Saves real estate because the screen basically doesn't change in N Control. |

Saves real estate because the screen basically doesn't change in N Control. Yeah, I'm talking about tracking/recording, not mixing. That's good to know about all 24 inputs running at those numbers. I'd be looking to get 40 to 48 channels, all over thunderbolt, I think. |

Oh that's no problem. They did tests at Lynx early on and talked about how they could daisy chain units via thunderbolt for some totally obscene number of channels no problem. |

From Lynx
"Whereas some earlier Thunderbolt equipped converters are limited to two units and 32 analog channels, the LT-TB can be used in a chain of up to 6 Aurora converters for up to 96 analog channels, plus 96 digital channels on one Thunderbolt port. So theoretically, the 6 port Mac Pro could deliver up to 1,152 channels."

But the N is not the old converters, whole new design. I was responding to the convo about the old ones in this thread. The N’s are a significant step forward IMO, but the old ones got a lot of good use. |

Considering one of the 24 channels as my current old model 16 channel needs a cap job and has the old USB 2.0 bottle neck. Users who upgraded from previous generation.... noticeable sonic upgrade?
