# mavmic — the Scarlett Solo 4th Gen microphone alone, for mavwaked. # # The card's USB capture stream is 4 channels, not 2: # # ch1 PCM 01 <- DSP 1 <- Analogue 1 the line/instrument jack # ch2 PCM 02 <- DSP 2 <- Analogue 2 the XLR microphone # ch3 PCM 03 <- Mix C <- PCM 1 loopback of workstation playback, L # ch4 PCM 04 <- Mix D <- PCM 2 loopback of workstation playback, R # # plughw asks ALSA for mono and gets a downmix of all four, so half of what # mavwaked scored was whatever the workstation was playing, at unity gain and # untouched by the front-panel gain knob. Measured 2026-08-09 with the gain at # 0 and a show playing: ch1 rms 0.00000, ch2 0.00002, ch3 0.08834, ch4 0.09045. # # Air and 48V are named for Line In 2, and both belong to a microphone preamp, # so Analogue 2 is the XLR input on this card and Analogue 1 is the jack. # # This takes slave channel 1 and nothing else. It does not change the card, so # the loopback stays available to everything else on the box. pcm.mavmic { type plug slave { pcm "hw:CARD=Gen,DEV=0" channels 4 } ttable.0.1 1 }
