Dear Jeanette,
out of curiosity I created a RAM-disk
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G tmpfs RAM
and recorded to that one. As a result, I couldn't record 32 channel at 48kHz and a
buffer of 128.
At a buffer of 256 it ran without any xruns, however, in that case, storing on hard disk
creates
an XRun only once at a while. So I'm not sure, whether a SSD would improve much.
at least you could make a test recording to a RAM disk.
-> jackd: v0.125.0 (-R --timeout 4500 -d alsa -C multi_capture -P multi_playback -r
48000 -p 256 -z shaped)
Note, I made my test simply using ardour5 and jackd.
Best regards,
Peter
