I think Jan replied by stating that he thought jackd might be reading the period buffer and compensating accordingly--if "-p 512" then move file to compensate for the inherint latency of that period. Six months ago when I produced an album in Ardour, I did a bunch of nudging on files but I think it was bug related issues with Ardour that were causing peak files to misalign. I'm not seeing that behaviour now. I've got to setup a session but will come back to learn more about the RAID latency issues that you're outlining. BTW, I'm running RAID 5 but have thought 10 would be optimal for performance but expensive. ron > Cheers, > Mark > > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
