Hi,
I am thinking of buying Ms. Pinky in stead of using cd's to spin my beatport tracks & own productions.
The problem is: I prefer using three decks and therefore need to be able to run three MP3's at the same time!
Was just wondering what I should use to do this.
Apart from that, the system I want to run these tracks from is a computer that I built from three identical systems that I broke apart. Specs:
- Asus P4 mainboard
- Intel P4 2.53 GHz (Northwood)
- 3x512MB = 1536MB RAM (DDR333)
- 3x40GB + 1x160GB HD (IDE)
- 3x SoundBlaster AWE64 PCI soundcards
- 3x ReLoop RP-5000 turntables
- Both Fedora Core 6 and WinXP
Can someone advise me on what to do/buy? Or should I start building my own application?
More decks & more soundcards - the software?

The way I'd recommend doing a 3-deck setup with Ms Pinky is to run 3 instances of the Pinky Pluggo inside a VST host, like Ableton. But I believe that would require a soundcard with at least 6 inputs and 6 outputs. You might be able to gang your soundcards together using ASIO4ALL or something, but I can't guarantee you that would work. For ease of use and good sound quality, you should invest in something like a MOTU 828, or an Edirol FA-101. Either of those audio converters will have enough ins/outs to do what you're wanting..

If you do parties maybe could catch some money and buy a better soundcard... In the past I configured a SB card for ms. P and it was true difficult and latency is a determinant subject...
If you will be consider a professional buy a professional interface... such emu maybe?
Try to save money but not with the interface, its too important!

I recently posted asking about multiple decks. I found if you drop the .xmf file for Maxi-Patch into an already running program you can get four decks running but switching the audio settings if you are only using 1 or 2 decks can only be done the first time you load the program. I am searching the forums for answers...
