Anyone using ASI6585 Livewire Sound Card?
Howdy!
I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Audioscience Livewire card? It looks kinda neat.
Thanks!

No. But why use hardware when you can use Axia's IP Driver?

We do have two ENCO machines which use the multichannel IP audio driver and they work great.
We're kicking around ideas here, and some would involve adding multichannel audio to some non-ENCO machines. Regardless, I was just curious if anyone had used one of these cards in the field. I'll save my technical questions for Audio Science's tech support.

I was only wondering, because we had the same discussion in my company. We will try the Axia Mulitchannel IP Driver. I will tell you about our experiences after the installation.

Good question! At first it seems a bit counterintuitive to use hardware when you could opt for pure Ethernet. But there are some good reasons to use the ASI card, based upon your ultimate operational goals.markus wrote:But why use hardware when you can use Axia's IP Driver?
The AudioScience card works like our Audio Driver, in that logic and audio I/O connect to your Axia network via Ethernet. But ASI cards have some very high-end DSP functions in them. The 6585 supports realtime MP3 and Layer 2 compression and decompression on-the-fly. It can digitally mix audio streams with different sample rates. And it can do pitch-corrected time stretching or squeezing in realtime (as a former Production Director, I love this feature!). And it uses the Windows WDM so it'll work with any Windows editor or playout system that uses that model.
So like I said, it depends what your operational end-goal is.
Cheers!

Thx for the replay. This explains the reason of getting the cards.

ASI6585 Livewire Sound Card
One thing to add to Clark's excellent explanation of the differences between the ASI6585 card and the Axia Livewire driver:
The ASI card offers WAV and WDM drivers under Windows and ALSA and HPI drivers under Linux. If you have an existing automation system which works with any of the AudioScience soundcards already, this Livewire soundcard should plug right in.
We're proud to have AudioScience as another Livewire partner.

ASI cards / Livewire
I would say without any experience with the card, that it can probably be pushed harder than a standard NIC. The ASI card should have some processors where a NIC does not. I'm interested in seeing how the ASI card performs in a live multitrack recording environment. This is where the ASI card has an opportunity to out perform the standard LIVEWIRE driver. My opinion.

Has the ASI card working properly with the SS-32 application? I heard that there might be some conflicts with Scott Studios and Livewire via ASI.Catfish wrote:One thing to add to Clark's excellent explanation of the differences between the ASI6585 card and the Axia Livewire driver:

It works. I've seen it installed at a facility using SS32.George Seifert wrote: Has the ASI card working properly with the SS-32 application? I heard that there might be some conflicts with Scott Studios and Livewire via ASI.
