To be honest, I haven't had to worry about patching kernels or tweaking latency with Jack in quite a while... using something like Planet CCRMA or similar pretty much gives you a decent starting point for making music out of the box, moresore than Windows. If you have ever had to tweak a Windows machine for audio (an out of the box Windows machine sucks for audio, there's a lot you need to do to get good performance out of XP and especially Vista). Can't speak for Mac, since I don't use it, but it seems to be a better solution out of the box than Windows! -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
