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.

Currently number 5 out of 11 for torrent downloads! Not bad for the new kid. Its very quiet on this list at the moment, so tell us what you've been doing with music! Fedora / Linux / recording etc etc Me, I've been trying to organize my many samples into sfz format for use. Also found new interest in guitar (my new schecter rocks!) I'm no drummer, but have been studying drumming a lot lately to fill out some triggered recordings. Would love to hear other peoples experience in this area. kick out the jams Brendan

Jam spin F20 beta test
by Ian Malone 16 Oct '13

16 Oct '13

Tests done for Fedora Jam, Fedora 20 Beta TC2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_jam/Test_Results:Fedora_20#Beta_TC2_D… https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Releases/20/Spins&oldid=357146 Moved the previous alpha tests page to Fedora_jam/Test_Results:Fedora_20 and created subsections for alpha and beta. Jackdbus seems to be working relatively well provided you don't stop and start it much. (If QJackCtl loses hold of the one it's responsible for then it must be manually killed.) -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

liblo + dssi bug
by Martin Tarenskeen 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hi, I'm on Fedora 19 It's a known issue that liblo-0.27-1 somehow prevents dssi plugins to work correctly (GUI does not show up) on 64bit systems. Using liblo-0.26-6 instead fixes this problem. But everytime I use yum update, I need to add something like --exclude=liblo-* to prevent liblo being updated and my dssi plugins stop working correctly. Pretty awkward. Is there a fix for this issue expected yet? -- MT
