Good. So the technology exists, but there is not enough of a market for a motherboard company to spend the time making one. That's fixable. It's called Kickstarter. Raise $100,000, then partner with a motherboard company to design and print off 100 of them. I may just do that.
There are 1000 other studio users who are looking to get into the Threadripper craze right now, but what stops someone like me is the fact that I have zero confidence that a new computer will let me use audio freely and confidently. Graphics cards, USB3, RAM, and PCIe slots enjoy this luxury. It is now audio's turn.
What I mean is this:
I have a Yamaha MOX that can stream usb audio
I have a Korg M3 that can stream Firewire audio
I have a mixer that can stream usb and Firewire audio
I have three Zoom mixers that can all stream usb audio
I have web cam that can record usb audio and video and
a Camlink that can do the same.
And I have the motherboard audio.
As it stands now, I can only use one or two of these devices at once without running into all sorts of problems.
I want to be able to use them all at once, or at least the first three all at once.
Some sort of control panel that manages all these devices in one place (like the asio4all panel does) would be a must. That might have to be another Kickstarter.
I think this is probably impossible...but I wouldn't know for sure.
