Hi all!
Just wanted to let you know what we decided.
After much thought put into this we decided to take the plunge into the
Arch Linux world.
We just liked the idea of tailoring our own system that answers to all our
needs, and felt that with Arch this would be the most simple approach.
I wanted to thank you all for your inputs and very interesting posts!
Warm regards,
Moshe

if someone needs such a kernel for debian, they are available at

I tried that once. Booting it just led to panics. I decided it didn't
like my hardware for whatever reason.
I'm doing ok with the stock Debian Sid kernel, but I don't need latency
as low as others might.
Just to spread some KISS :-)
Compiling a debian RT kernel is quite straightforward.
Download debian sources or vanilla ones from
kernel.org
Patch according to your release (
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ )
Run `make oldconfig` inside the sources dir, you will probably be asked
about configs in the newer kernel not found in .config-YOUR_RUNNING_KERNEL
Then follow the common workflow, run `make menuconfig`, at least change
only the PREEMPT opt and seti it to 'complete preemption'.
Create your linux-image debian package with make-kpkg (
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s06.html.en)
If your running kernel works this one will too 99.9%

Hi, I'm using Debian Wheezy.
I'm not comfortable in building kernel on my own, so I try Liquorix, that
hasn't the RT patch, but is built with the kernel system timer set to 1000
hz (instead of the standard 250 hz), and that seems to improve the midi
timing. (I read this somewhere in Rosengarden site, can anyone confirm
this?)
I work mostly with midi and samplers, so with rtirq and Liquorix it seems
enough for me.
Are there better kernels for audio/midi operations in Wheezy?
