SSL ships no Linux software for the SSL 12. Audio works out of the box (UAC2), but everything SSL 360 controls — internal mixer, monitoring, phantom power, loopback, routing — is unreachable. The card ends up a fixed-function box.

So I captured the USB traffic between SSL 360 and the card, mapped the control protocol, and wrote the tools:

https://github.com/xenicle/douze

- sslctl — CLI for the gain matrix, monitoring, preamps (48V/HPF/inst/polarity), loopback, headphone buses

- Douze — local web GUI (127.0.0.1) with the matrix, live meters, profiles - Douze FX — VST3 host that drops plugin chains into the PipeWire graph, one process per strip; a strip can publish its own virtual mic or sink, so any app picks it up as a normal device

The control interface is a separate vendor-specific USB device behind an internal hub, with no kernel driver — plain bulk endpoints, so everything is user-space (pyusb). No decompilation, no vendor code.

-> The protocol docs and all 25 captures are CC0 / public domain. A documented protocol is a fact about hardware, not a literary work — I'd rather it ended up in a kernel driver than stayed in my repo, so there's no attribution requirement at all. The code is AGPLv3 (JUCE).

-> Caveat worth stating up front: this is verified on exactly one card, mine, firmware bcdDevice 1.44. I use it daily and the protocol is mapped end to end, but I don't know if another unit behaves identically. If you own an SSL 12 I'd love to hear whether `sslctl status` returns something sane — that's the one thing I genuinely can't test alone.

So I just started using Audition, and it's all well. But I can't figure out why this happens. When I record voice on a new empty track with the Recording arm toogle on and only this track selected for some reason audio clip gets copied from track above and linked together with it's copy. When I click "convert to unique copy" and delete the pink one whole program fails and stops and I loose all my work. And it happend 3 times already.

Hey everyone!

I’m currently updating my casting package and portfolio for acting, voiceover work, and creative collaborations.

Beyond working on-camera and behind the mic, I’m also a writer, world-builder, and scriptwriter, so I really value seeing how my visual brand translates to character archetypes.

I’m looking to narrow down my lead images for casting platforms (Actors Access, Backstage, casting subs, etc.) and would love your honest feedback.

A few quick questions for you all:

1. What immediate character types or archetypes come to mind when you look at these? (e.g., tech innovator, antagonist/villain, detective, mentor, creative, etc.)

2. What age range would you read me for on-screen or voice roles?

3. Which shot stands out to you as the strongest overall primary headshot (commercial vs. theatrical)?

4. From a writer/creator perspective, do any of these looks jump out as a character you'd write a script or voice role for? Appreciate any honest feedback on the framing, lighting, and overall casting appeal. Thanks in advance for taking a look!
