[LAU] kontakt 5 - finally, I am hearing something...

Hi, After fixing the jack 32bit/64bit issue, now finally I can run kontakt5 1. As standalone exe, using WINE / WineASIO 2. As a VST instrument, using WINE / WineASIO / SAVIHost 3. As a VST instrument, using Festige / FST. All approaches can show the GUI, and play some sound. Great! I can see the following differences: - While approach 1 and 2 give me 2 output channels, approach 3 gives me 8, 16 or 64 output channels (depending on which DLL I pick). I only need 2 for stereo.. - I would think that approach 1 and 2 involve emulating more stuff than strictly necessary, so I would like to stick to approach 3, if possible. - Only approach 3 gives me direct JACK midi input. (But I guess I can solve this with a2jmidid for the other two approaches, too.) * * * Anyway, what comes next now is to 1. Set this up in a networked way: host1 has the physical midi input and audio HW, host2 is running the VST. (I have already done this with jack2, but now I have to re-do this for jack1.) 2. Tune the system to decent latency/performance; currently I get a lot of xruns... * * * Is there an up-to-date guide somewhere explaining - how should I choose my kernel version , - what to compile into my kernel, - how to configure my kernel run-time, - how to patch / configure wine, - how to configure jack - etc .... to get the best possible audio performance? (I know this gets talked about all the time, but everything is changing so fast, and half of the info I find the net is already obsolete; I am not asking you to repeat what is is already stated, but to point me to the relevant and current docs.) Thank you for your help: Kristof
