[PlanetCCRMA] FC3 versus FC2 - experiences [was: wierd hanging of jack, or some other process using fc3 edge kernel]

[wayne]

hey shayne,
  just a question about your settings: you have

input channels: 16


 does this mean you can record 16 audio channels at a time?  i didnt 
think the emu/sblive supported more than recording 1 input audio channel 
at a time... could you explain your setup?

thanks, wayne
