SH-201 in Ardour/ ubuntu studio 8.04

Post by zedius »

I'm trying to set up the Sh-201 as an audio interface in Ardour, and I'm having a hell of a time. I've been able to set it up such that when I record it has crackling on playback, and also 'fixed it' so that when I record it doesn't crackle but it has a noticeable delay from when I want it to record and when it actually records.

Does anyone have tips abou audio latency? What frames/buffer do in JACK? Anything like that?

Anyone try hooking the SH up to linux, and while I'm at it, any luck getting sh-201 editor on there?

Or if anyone has any info about getting the USB audio to work on anything, that would be good too. I'm a complete newb when it comes to this. I just can't seem to get the balance right.

Since there is no official driver for the SH-201 on Linux, you may not be able to make it work properly. If you really want to do it, you can find out which driver it uses and contact the developers for assistance.

hi there,

I've just installed ubuntu 9.10 and was able to record off the sh201 using ardour; recording off the mic worked straight out of the box with no crackling or latency issues at all.

I installed the software using wine but have yet to get it to work.

A bit of googling suggests that there is a kernel patch for the sh201 that should get it to work out of the box. See following links:

I wrote this patch, and should works out of box in any recent distro (with kernel >= 2.6.23-rc1).
thanks franko for your feedback
