Hi, running ST 9.91 standalone under Linux.

Can ST support two separate outputs, each with its own presets and scheduler? IOW, one sound card provides the input audio, and there are two sound cards for output. One would be heavily-processed for broadcast, the second more lightly-processed for stream?

Thank you!

Use the jack version of ST, copy the binary and give each a distinct name and fire them up.

Then wire up as needed.

Or even better, use a distro that supports pipewire and do likewise.

Thank you. I have found jack to be weirdly opaque -- no doubt a lack of understanding on my part. If I understand what you are suggesting, I could run two instances of ST, and with jack route the same USB audio interface input to both, and send their respective outputs to two separate hardware output devices. Is that a fair summation?

Yes exactly, though with jack this is a bit awkward to do because Jack can only control one single audio interface, and needs an additional jack bridge instance to get audio to/from a second device.

That's why I suggested looking out for pipewire, which does it "all in one". Every sound device appears as sink and source, as do the applications.

Pipewire is one of the few software projects recently that made me "wow", it's very early development but major Linux distributions are switching over and it combines the best of pulseaudio and jack worlds.

I've heard good things about Pipewire. I'd have to take the computer offline -- it's in the broadcast signal chain 24/7. I am presently running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and this post -- https://gist.github.com/the-spyke/2de98 ... id=3976215 -- seems to suggest that installing it will be as easy as cake, simple as pie.

Okay, many thanks. It looks like the way to go.
