Poking around a bit, I opened up the "options" on the master and it
says
Frames/Period: 256, I open up options on the slave, and it is grayed
out
but says: Frames/Period: 512.
My questions are simply:
1) is qjackctl reporting this correctly on the slave?
No, qjackctl is displaying some old values, opening up the Messages
window -> Status tab shows the correct value (256)
3) is this why I'm seeing massive xruns?
nope ... while looking at the Status tab I noticed DSP load was between
95% and 100%. I found the offending windows program and all is well
again
Out of curiosity what software are you running on each OS?
I just finished building a semi-stable working environment made up of:
Linux:
- jackd
- patchage (to visualize and manage the connection graph)
- jkmeter, gmidimonitor
- non-session-manager (and the ever essential JACKPatch, without
which I would have given up on linux audio)
- ardour3 for all live recordings and all mixing -- just starting to
be able to see it as stable replacement for Sonar X1. I miss some things
for sure and had to fall back to X1 a few times for a paid job with a
deadline, but ... it's almost there and high time for me to contribute
some $$.
Windows:
- loopbe30 (virtual midi ports)
- jackd
- Plogue Bidule (vst host and connection routing manager)
- Various software instruments e.g., EastWest, Vienna Instruments,
Garritan etc.
- Notion4 (notation software)
The rest are becoming obsolete:
- Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 (very impressive piece of software)
- Sonar X1
I've had success using wine and/or vsthost for many of my windows VSTs
but the major deal breakers were always eastwest and vienna because they
require a dongle so I just manage all windows stuff in windows and route
everything using jackd(net).
