Hello,
On the Sd card faillure, I think I remenber reading somewhere that high class SD card can somehow cause problem. So for the raspbery Pi, the higher class is not always the better.
On my side I was happy with class 4, and I'm not carefull at all.

Some users has been particulary unlucky, for no apparent reasons, with SD card, experiencing many system faillure.
On one case the rPi was to blame I believe.

But yep, totaly have the same love and hate feeling about the Pi.

Best,

Grégoire

Hi Udo

Good to hear from you.

I'm sorry about your SD Card. Our SD cards have been fine, but they have just been sitting in one place streaming. 

On the plus, it sounds like you have found a solid alternative. Maybe this is one recipe we should hang onto: based on re-purposed iPhones, in future. I believe there is a Locus Sonus mobile app on verge of release; so that might be a useful part of the mix.

Maybe you can use you new setup to send us a daybreak  stream  for soundCamp on 3-4 MAY?

Info from the new site, and flyer attached.

Best wishes,

Grant

I thought of using my old iPhone 4 with a Tascam IXJ2, but my main issue is not having a way to auto-connect when a connection to the server drops with KoalaSAN, at least this was the case last time I tried.
I have used KoalaSAN with AudioBus and Boss Jock Studio for processing for mobile streams that needed it. Works pretty well. I might try some other processors that are audiobus compatible, but so many of them are not useable with VoiceOVer (a big deal to me since I am totally blind.) The Boss Jock dev put a lot of time and effort to make sure that was the case.

The IXJ2 is pretty clean at line level, gets a little noisy with lower output mics, such as the AT-822. The hotter your mic, the better off you are. I've gotten the best SNR with a set of Sound PRofessionals MS-BMC3's.

I also have a Zoom IQ5, which is a little sizzly on the high end, but has a pretty nice image especially for this kind of thing, but only works with lightning devices.

hi there,

my PI filesystem (on a HQ class 10 SDcard) is totally corrupted again,
though i have put write intensive stuff into ramdisks.
just after an update/upgrade. what does that mean... try another mini pc
with a dedicated usb/network bus? cubox or so? any experience anybody?

i love this pi and i hate these unpredictable crashes without an obvious
reason.

we'll see. since i sort of need a very mobile setup, i've bought a used
iphone 4s and a tascam ixj2 preamp, where i connect my okm or primo mics
too. works really nice and is the most lightweight setup i've used so far.
a tiny but useful detail of the tascam preamp: it has a mini usp port for
charging the phone while streaming, i.e. with an external battery.

i've tried the fancy �180 rode ixy mic too, but that needs a lot of gain,
which the streaming apps (koalasan, icast pro) can't deliver. so the audio
signal is very low, unusable. a pity, since this mic sounds quite nice and
has a good build quality.

bests, udo
