2-Aurora 16 with LT- USB cards?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Currently, I have two Aurora 16 with 2 AES16 PCI cards.  If I get a new computer that does not offer
any PCI slots, would I still be able to run both Aurora 16 if I bought 2 LT-USB cards and installed one in each Aurora 16?  Would I still be able to record 32 tracks simultaneously with this setup? 

Thank you.

	Assuming this is a PC (?), no, you cannot use two USB connections simultaneously....On a Mac you can. Options would be: 1. Buy a Mac ;-) and use the two LT-USB cards. 2. Get two AES16e PCI Express cards (perhaps you can sell your PCI cards on eBay etc.); 3. Get a PC that has Thunderbolt and use an LT-TB Thunderbolt card in each Aurora and daisy chain them. This would be superior to USB in terms of latency performance and channel count. Edited by Mike N - August/15/2017 at 10:15am

	Hi Mike! Thank you for the prompt response. Sorry, I forgot to tell you that this is for a PC. I appreciate the information.
