pkane, I can't understand that because REW, Arta, Spectraplus works just fine with Cosmos ADC, and they don't change the ADC volume as well(why need to do that?).
That's what I suggested. No need for a new app, just a setting on the tweak app to defeat volume control behavior.Exactly, so you'll see why one man, who designs the hardware and writes the current application, doesn't have time or the inclination to do more.
How about a suggestion - an addition to the current COSMO application that forces the unit to stay in a single mode regardless of volume? For example, 'Force Stereo' / 'Force Mono' / 'Volume Auto Select'?
Well, while you're at it, that could be with 3 positions: Remote (linked to volume control, and default option), Mono and Stereo (which won't change whatever the volume control is).need for a new app, just a setting on the tweak app to defeat volume control behavior.
I'd prefer stereo as default. Mono has caught me out a few times (as when monitoring it still looks and sounds like two channels)well, that's also an interesting point, some people ask me why the default(but actually it is Windows default) is MONO, they believe STEREO default is more reasonable.
I thought MONO is the best for measurement so would be better if MONO is the default.

If that will be possible :Would this signal chain be possible ?
2 SDC Mics >>> 2 E1DA Cosmos APU ( using preamp in and out) >>> Cosmos ADC >>> Computer >>> Combo DAC + Headphone amp
If yes, would it be better soundwise and specwise than audio interfaces like Rme babyface pro fs and Motu ultralite MK5 ?
Thanks in advance,
Unlike an integrated audio interface, Cosmos ADC and DAC are not synchronized, which would need resampling in software. This would not necessarily be an audible issue, but high-quality resampling takes quite a bit of CPU power and bit-perfect playback from ADC is ruled out.Would this signal chain be possible ?

don't forget that Cosmos ADC may accept 10Vrms, and Cosmos APU output as well, so, 10V/50=200mVrms is the mic's output clipping level.My mics are Line audio CM4 which have a -42 dBV sensitivity compared to the 36 dBV of the Neumanns so 34 dB gain should be fine. Would a more simple 2 channel mic pre (DAV BG1, RME Quadmic, FMR RNP) be better than the audio interfaces I've listed ( still with the cosmos ADC )?
Should be OK up to 122dB SPL on the mic cap...don't forget that Cosmos ADC may accept 10Vrms, and Cosmos APU output as well, so, 10V/50=200mVrms is the mic's output clipping level.
Correct me if my memory serves wrong but you 1 year ago recommend me the gain of about +30db, right?Should be OK up to 122dB SPL on the mic cap...

It uses resampling (or "drift correction" in macOS) to do that.In macOS you can sync the clock of different devices.
Yeah, that’s fine I think.It uses resampling (or "drift correction" in macOS) to do that.
me too, if anyone can explain it would be nice.Yeah, that’s fine I think.
Or rather, I should say, I don’t really know why it’s important really.
