Debian Testing: Nice little surprise
Posted: 2018-01-20 06:40
In my spare time between messing with Debian, building guitar effects peddles and doing up schematics with Eagle (and soon, KiCAD) I enjoy over dubbing backing tracks.
When I ran Windows 10, this want an issue but when I moved to Debian, I wasn't sure if my old M-Audio Fast Track would actually work.
Low and behold after I plugged 'er in, dmesg showed it as recognized and active! The next step was to install Audacity and give it a whirl. I had to spend some time figuring out some settings (as far as what to use via ALSA - but damned, it worked and this saved me having to buy a new unit just to have it work. Funny - I don't recall it working with Ubuntu so that in itself is impressive.
Well done!
Cheers
