Re: ubuntu realtime.

[Marcel Marti <marcel.marti@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you want to do music with Linux just try a focused audio distro like Musix, Jacklab, Studio64, and so on. (I've just tried Musix so I can only recommend this one). But if you like to spend hours tweaking the system and trying to get a stable and reliable platform for your audio production (as I used to do) just try Ubuntu Studio. It's up to you. 

I really love Linux and free software philosophy, and I've learned a lot by reading manuals, books and being helped by the comunity. But I also have learned that if you want to do music you have to know the right moment to stop with the tweaking spiral and start doing what you like most which is music.

Asmo, to be able to reach latencies of 3ms does not mean that I always work at 3ms. It was just an example, just as yours with the 4ms jack-settings. I usually work with 11ms just to assure the work I'm doing. 

And please, let's help people instead of boasting. ;-)

Good luck!

Many have had good success with:

Ubuntu 9.04

2.6.29-1 with ingos patch
built with preemption set to realtime and the timer to 1000hz.

As mentioned previously: 8.10 is to be avoided
