Milliseconds, that is ;-) I got a PIV 2.8 GHz Box with 1Gig RAM and envy24-Sound. Usually I run jackd with 128 F/P and 44100 SR so i get 5.8 and can doo all the desktopstuff (Mozilla, OO, GIMP etc) while i experiment with new ams-patches or give some improvements to arrangements in ardour or test new versions of Muse or RG. If I find the time to work with sound only for 2-3 h I switch to 64 F/P (gives 2.9ms) to have the whole stuff (Ardour, Midi, Synths,FX) working at the same time. And to 32 F/P 96000 SR (0.66ms...) to do stuff with just one synth and record it with qarecord... Jackd runs all day and i usually get about 1-2 xruns/houre, especcially at start up of ZynaddSubFX and caused by smaller bugs in rezound or really insane patches for ams. Still my edgy is not perfectly patched for audio, if I use 5 or more complex instruments with ZynaddSubFX or load very complex ams-patches with more the 4 voices polyphony(and have them played all at the same time) I get lots of xruns. So, as long as I do only "reasonable" stuff like playing 2-3 synthpatches plus working with Ardour and/or Muse and some sampleplaying with specimen at the same time, it works perfectly well for me... > So I understand Ubuntu is "based on" Debian.

Like MacOSX there is no active root-account and you (as the normal user) get root-powers via sudo, if you need them. Lots of generic deb-packages work OK in ubuntu, its own repos hold more or less everything, one needs to do music-stuff (Ardour, RG, Muse, SND, Rezound, Zynadd, AMS, OM, H2, PD, Csound, Specimen etc etc etc) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFbXhl1Aecwva1SWMRAr0oAJsENfL725ABPo1FMXafaLDJNu1TRACfaYQH 8yQIYA83nQejvf+Xjt3iG/c= =2ttR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
