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.

Liner notes

A friend of mine, awesome music producer (https://soundcloud.com/omegachildproductions) had a hardware failure and decided to try Linux. He is very much in the Mac world. Logic is is usual modus operandi. I found myself recommending kxstudio. A bit sad really considering we are maintaining the Jam spin. How can we make this better? I would have loved to recommend the jam spin. I'm starting to think perhaps I should take this outside of Fedora, or maybe join forces with CCRMA, and/or start a remix. I love the ideals of Fedora though. Anyway B

Fedora 21 and beyond
by Brendan Jones 24 Jan '14

Hey all, Where to next? (ha ha Fedora next - we will see) A few points: - we have had the same wallpaper for 3 spins now (yes I created it and it is awesome but could be better - should change with every release) - there is a legal issue with the icons we are using - there is a bug raised but not actioned. We really need the offending icons removed or choose a new set. Maintainer is AWOL - we still haven't solved the problem of seamlessly integrating pulse and jack I'm starting to think that there is little point having a spin at all. My original idea was that having the spin would encourage more users to use Fedora and as a result create some kind of community (and hopefully attract more upstream developers). This hasn't happened. I'm too busy to blog, promote, berate the goodness of the Jam etc. Maybe someone else is. Maybe we are not promoting ourselves enough? I don't know. Maybe we are being lazy. In any case, I will not be taking on any more packages, unless explicitly asked by someone who actually gives a damn. Brendan
