Good point. Although I'm not using the -rt kernel anymore, my ubuntu jaunty (and<br>
intrepid before it) system works very well for audio stuff. I easily run ardour<br>
and jack and others and they are very stable. I found that I did not need the<br>
super low latencies (<5ms) from a -rt kernel to do the recording and playback<br>
that I was doing.<br>
<br>
Last time I had a really good -rt kernel was around Gutsy. I did a lot of<br>
tweaking for that also, but it did work very well with the workstation.<br>
<br>
Also FWIW I was never impressed with WindowsXP's latency - Stopped using that<br>
about 2.5 years ago and never could get the latency down low enough for live<br>
playing using a software synth. So one should not just assume that Windows will<br>
give you the super low latencies of a -rt kernel.<br>
<br>
The best low latency I've ever gotten from my current desktop was using the<br>
64Studio distro a few years ago. But I've never tried the Fedora, Suse,<br>
Mandriva versions so can't comment on these.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps someone.<br>
