Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

building the jam spin (Re: Where is the kickstart file for the audio spin?)

The various .ks files that the spin depends on are the versions in the spin-kickstarts fedora package, however during the Fedora development cycle the spin-kickstarts package is not kept up to date. This means you can't build a pre-release spin reliably with them. The solution is to: 1. Check out the music-creation git 2. Check out git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/spin-kickstarts.git 3. Copy spin-kickstarts/fedora-jam/fedora-live-jam-kde.ks from music-creation to spin-kickstarts 4. Use the jam ks copy in spin-kickstarts to actually build. ... I'll try to add that to the wiki when I get a minute. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

Did we ever look up the specifics of "no people" in Fedora branding? Christopher.

Ingen
by Martin Tarenskeen 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, After installing a whole bunch of dependencies - many from fedora, a few from SVN sources - I managed to compile and install the stuff from svn co http://svn.drobilla.net/lad/trunk drobilla-lad And now have working versions of, among others, Ingen and all the MDA effect and synth plugins on my Fedora systems. To be able to build Ingen I also had to get the SVN version of LV2. Even the official Fedora version wasn't new enough. I don't think the official Fedora repo's should be filled with hardly tested alpha and beta development versions from SVN or GIT or whatever. IMO this is already happening too often. That doesn't mean I do not like to experiment. I am having a lot of fun with Ingen. For example I can combine the MDA synths DX10 and JX10 with all kinds of filters and effects to create really fat or weird sounds. I do get crashes once in a while - that's part of the game if you want to experiment. Also I found, compiled, and tried a nice little LV2 bass-synth called "minaton". Could be a nice candidate for Fedora also. Anyway: after being a "promising and improved" alternative to DSSI and LADSPA only in theory for years, now it looks like LV2 is slowly growing to something that is actively supported by developers and actually usable for users. Nice to see more and more LV2 stuff showing up in Fedora, and there is more of it waiting! -- MT

Looking for volunteers
by Brendan Jones 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Hey all I'm looking for a volunteer to take on the visual requirements of the spin from now until release. My packaging backlog is getting a bit crazy. Whilst I'd love some more help in this area, I also think this is a great opportunity for the more visually minded members of the list to contribute. I've tried garnering support for this aspect of the spin but it is really hard - frankly that's surprised me. I've also tried to enlist the support of the design team but thus far that has also come up with nichts. Where both design nor packaging interests you, Christopher Antilla also needs some bodys to upate the Fedora Musicians guide. I'm sure he will be able to point you in the right direction. So this is a call out to those who are eagerly anticipating the audio spin, but have no interest in packaging or playing with kickstarts etc to step forward and take this on. We don't have much time before release, so we really need to start now (no I'm not nervous :{ ) For reference here's what Jorn and I have posted on the designs list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2012-June/005594.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2012-September/005748.… http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2012-September/005808.… Brendan
