Re: [LAU] suspending with realtime kernel

Good point. Although I'm not using the -rt kernel anymore, my ubuntu jaunty (and intrepid before it) system works very well for audio stuff. I easily run ardour and jack and others and they are very stable. I found that I did not need the super low latencies (<5ms) from a -rt kernel to do the recording and playback that I was doing. Last time I had a really good -rt kernel was around Gutsy. I did a lot of tweaking for that also, but it did work very well with the workstation. Also FWIW I was never impressed with WindowsXP's latency - Stopped using that about 2.5 years ago and never could get the latency down low enough for live playing using a software synth. So one should not just assume that Windows will give you the super low latencies of a -rt kernel. The best low latency I've ever gotten from my current desktop was using the 64Studio distro a few years ago. But I've never tried the Fedora, Suse, Mandriva versions so can't comment on these. Hope this helps someone. Geoff
