[LAU] NEWB mixing with ardour

First, want to say thanks to all who have given assistance directly and on more than one occasion asked a question before I did and still helped me anyway.   Also appreciate the patience on all this, not to mention the friendships around the world. Second, still working on getting my own kernel going with the following as had been suggested last week: preempt_RCU No_Hz HZ_1000 and the other Rock-solid low-latency audio tweaks  99 ff migration  99 ff posixcputmr  98 ff IRQ-8 (real-time clock)  97 ff audio IRQ  80 rr Jack Found the preempt_RCU and HZ_1000 spots in the debian/ubuntu kernel hack, still looking for the rest please.  Third, is how do we get Ardour to add effects and other psychoacoustics?  I have some cool stuff am redoing from the now former redmond mess and cannot figure that part out.  Would love to post something once I get these and a few other things figured out. Continued and appreciated all assistance   Paul
