It's very useful when setting-up to be able to run Jackd non-realtime if you're having problems configuring / diagnosing realtime operation. There's also quite a lot you can do musically without realtime being enabled, obviously (?) you wouldn't want to master a MIDI piece without it. > 4) Regarding the "Force 16-bit" option: When would a normal user want to > activate this option ? I've not encountered a situation where this appeared necessary. I keep it enabled just to save a couple of egregious error messages. All my machines are 16-bit, They don't need to consider anything else. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim
