I experienced that Quantal's version of Qtractor is absolutely stable using DSSIs and I also had nearly no CPU load. Especially Fluid-DSSI in the past made Qtractor crash very often. Just selecting DSSI plugins after LADSP plugins were selected, only was possible with a trick. Qtractor is one of the most important apps for me, but I wouldn't recommend to use it on stage. > Another annoying thing I have encountered is linuxsampler clicking and > crackling with multiple notes.

I experienced AVlinux 5.0.3 with Kernel 3.0.23-rt40 and Kernel 3.0.23-avl-7-pae threadirqs as a less good audio distro, even after removing compiz. I didn't run linuxsampler. I also dropped Debain stable 64-bit, because it's dated as AVLinux 5.0.3 (quasi Debian stable too) and dropped Debian testing 64-bit, because it's to unstable. My read is, that things will become more worse for Debian. Keeping init would cause dependency, resp. maintaining issues and a transition to e.g. systemd is known to cause issues. I'm using Ubuntu (Studio) at the moment (upstart), dropped Arch Linux regarding to transition issues (init -> systemd). Ubuntu, Fedora (systemd) and maybe some other distros that already switched, perhaps are more stable at the moment. YMMV! _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
