ART USB Dual Mic Pre

Ive owned a PiSound for quite some time snd have stuck to Blokas’ native images for building pedalboards in Modep, but im really keen on the Zynthian softwsre snd would like to tedt s new setup.

Im a trombonist and guitarist and like te Flexibility to run either instrument through my effects.

To test out Zynthian id like to use a Pi4 with the official 7", Touchscreen and pair it with a soundcard ti get audio in, and use a usb midi footswitch (midi commander) for controlling it.
I picked up a Mic Pre to get my mic signal into the pisound in a better state, but ive noticed it also has its own USB output for use as an interface:

Does anyone have experience using Zythian software with the above Mic Pre?
Or am I better off adding the Pisound and keep the Mic pre purely for pre-amping?

Thanks!

Welcome @CraigHissett to our family.

There have previously been concerns about USB Audio latency but changes over the past few years have reduced the impact and likelihood of such issues so you can try it. You will need to get the device name and update the audio configuration in webconf but I would expect it will work fine. Let us know how you progress and if you get stuck.

Hi @CraigHissett welcome,

I’m quiet sure you wouldn’t notice anything different in terms of latecy or Xruns.

In webconf → audio, choose generic USB midi.

But maybe effects/settings levels in your presets have to be adapted.
