I questioned mine for quite a while :-) I am going to also suggest that we both try posting at the LinuxSampler forums. Many LS folks seem to be very results-oriented.<br>

I will be eager to hear results. I also encourage you to set ALSA up according to two patterns I recently learned right here; I have summarized them here:<br>

<br>
I have found that better general stability is a result. I am beginning to be convinced, that relying on ALSA device numbers, is a very bad idea on many levels. And yet this is what every distro does right now. Hopefully a change can be motivated.<br>

sample, perhaps?), which used to sound good to my ears.... UNTIL I <br>
<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"></span>>
discovered the sound of the Bosendorfer. Compromising on the sound is <br>

Well said, Guru. Given your words, I will probably just have to blow the $ on the Bosendorfer (unless you found a free one?), because my priorities are identical.<br>

switching to OSX and Logic Pro.<br>

I'm looking forward to further suggestions on making jack (relatively) <br>

crash-proof. Meanwhile, I'm pinning my hopes on AVLinux... (and then <br>

Sabayon/UbuntuStudio-RT kernel... but I pray I never have to).<br>

We will see. I will hopefully find myself motivated enough to go to the LS forums in the next day or two :-)<br>
