CAMILLA DSP tutorial with 8xIN+8xOUT

[Raspiaudio]

@ArielAr

2ch USB TO THE CARD output jacks FROM THE PC, plus 8ch FROM THE CARD’s input jacks INTO THE PC ?

The reason for this clarification is that I have been dreaming for a long time to use Raspiaudio hat to connect -via USB- a guitar TO a PC, so that I can record/process the 6 strings as 6 separate audio channels in the PC, so I need to move INTO the PC at least 6 channels of audio. Some guitars nowadays have an internal speaker, so the 2 channels FROM the PC TO the raspiaudio card could be used for the guitar internal speaker, after having applied VSTs, effects,etc.in the PC.

I know that most users would move 8 channels of data in the other direction, namel

Good question, and not a dumb one at all.

In this tutorial, “2ch USB-in and 8ch out” means:

PC → USB → Raspberry Pi / CamillaDSP → 8 analog outputs

So the PC sends 2 audio channels to the Pi, and CamillaDSP can process/split them to 8 analog outputs, for example for active crossover use.

What you describe is the opposite direction, more like a USB audio interface:

8 analog inputs from the 8xIN+8xOUT → Raspberry Pi → USB → PC/DAW
and optionally:
PC stereo output → USB → Raspberry Pi → 2 analog outputs

This should be technically possible with the 8xIN+8xOUT, by creating a different USB Audio Gadget profile, for example 8-channel capture + 2-channel playback. From the PC point of view, it would appear as a USB audio interface with 8 recording inputs and 2 playback outputs.

It is not the mode documented in this tutorial yet
