Implications of kernel without BKL for RT/Low latency ?

by Fritz Meissner

I noticed this announcement of kernel 2.6.37-rc1 http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/1/82 , and in particular that the BKL is largely gone. To my (fairly uninformed) mind, it sounds as though taking the lock out of the kernel should make the kernel more responsive and maybe make the RT or low-latency kernel easier to do, or even unnecessary maybe ? I'd be interested to hear the comments on this from our experts. Fritz

Write down music for practicing?

by Erik Steffl

I have lot of sheet music for practicing (guitar) and would love to have a simple way to put it into computer so that I can play it. Something that makes it easy to write music, could be just text (like http://abc.sourceforge.net/) or regular music notation or tabs or... whatever is optimized for writing down music... Just to be clear - I am not looking for a way to record the music, I want to write it down in some kind of notation. playback is not a focus, if it produces midi or audio file and the rhythm is correct I'm happy. (looking for opinions based on personal experience) (and yes, looking for linux solution) thanks! erik

Compression/EQ Tutorials

by Darrin Thompson

I've found that there is no end to tutorials on youtube explaining what the various knobs on a compressor do. Very few, though, explain how to obtain different results. Anyone know of a place where I could learn about how to take my dry tracks and make them sound "good" for more than one definition of good? Now that we all know what the knobs do, what should we actually do with them? -- Darrin
