In my experience, 10ms roundtrip is the borderline. Anything below that is safe ground, even for Bluegrass-Banjos at 150 bpm ;-) at the other hand: it is also my experience, that a system with a good audio-interface that cannot run okayish with 10ms will not run okayish with 100ms either. If normal load (1-2 synths, a sampler, 2 dozen standard-processors for filters and dynamics plus 3-4 FX like flangers and the like, ardour project with 40+tracks, 48KHz) produces significantly more then 2-3 xruns/h at 10ms - then there is something, that needs tweaking. Often it is a badly programmed processor or really freaky settings for a synth. Or you have a bottleneck in the data-transport line like some conflicting SATA-controller or trouble with ffado etc etc etc best regs HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksovHYACgkQ1Aecwva1SWP7/QCfdiKycCrPT4dGjYmzJMGeoaQ3 zogAnj/QNIdbmx8lLu86rDGBjDw4NGBA =h5Cj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
