[linux-audio-user] MusE: Jack or Alsa

[BartonBosch at aol.com]

I have just installed the Planet on my linux partition and have started in to reading the jack and alsa user documentation.  

I want to do some basic composition and aranging in midi.  I was thinking that I would use MusE with Fluidsynth and various soundfonts.  At this point I am not trying to input any external signals from guitars, hardware synths, mics, etc.

I noticed that MusE gives an option to use Alsa only or to use Jack (which I assume would be in combination with Alsa as a driver).  Any opinions whether it is worth going to the trouble of learning to use jack with MusE to import, modify, create and playback midi tracks? 

Thanks,

Barton
