A plugin to aurdour would be more efficient. My system cannot run > such a setup either. the CPU utilization of JAMin would be scarcely any different as a plugin than as a standalone process. the overhead of running two JACK clients is also relatively small (probably on the order of 40usec per interrupt from the audio interrupt). when mastering, you can generally reduce CPU load by using larger latency settings. unlike mixing, where you may need/want the instant feedback you get with low latency, mastering is a more subtle process that doesn't necessarily benefit (and may even suffer from) constant tweaking over short time intervals. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
