Plus: xruns occour from time to time but only if I start up critical Apps like Zynadd, load huge Projectfiles etc. So to be sure, that xruns do not cause any harm, I only need to avoid starting major apps while a Recording is running... When I close a usual session after 3-5 h I have maybe 3-4 xruns and none of them influenced the recorded material in any way. Even if I run into real trouble with jackd (by playing a problematic Zynadd-Patch with too much polyphony or the like), the session recovers usually without need to restart, when stopping the apps, that had caused the trouble. So I fail to get your point: what are you doing with your system and your other-side-of-the-globe Musicians that a single xrun can destroy your work?? best regards Z -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFs6UF1Aecwva1SWMRAtc8AKCNjtaYkgV7KAx9Uwk49Rp3OKktwACggp8u r1DTFUElAiNAA9H98CVpCXw= =3KiY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
