Hi
I'm about to consider trying out ableton live. Since I don't have
windows (or macOS) installed, I'm thinking about installing the windows
(vista) I got with my laptop in vmware. But first I'd like to ask a few
questions here:
1) Doesn't anyone here have first hand experience with running ableton
live through vmware?
2) Does it run fast/slow?
3) Can it be used with jack?
You can't access JACK from inside vmware, at least not without going
via the alsa-jack plugin which means quite a lot of extra buffering.
4) How about jack transport (for syncing other apps)?
you're inside a windows bubble. no JACK stuff is going in or out.
i suggest you try it under wine instead if interaction with native
linux apps matters, though you will still have no shared transport via
JACK.
