-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi LA users, after approx. a 20-year-break as a musician, I decided to get some MIDI equipment and do something more fun with all these computers. And wow it seems hard. I still remember someday when I bought my first MIDI stuff and started with DOS - so this was pre-Cubase & Co, and everything worked fine with some soundblaster and the Y-cable. Now I am reading since days about low-latency, tried both the live and the install of DeMuDi, configured an older companies' laptop (Asus with P3-750) to make use of my MidiSport2x2, and since then I'm fuddling around with jackd, alsa, rosegarden4, muse, and all the like. The latencies are horrible. Ok; it's UNIX/Linux, and that is meant for more than one person, I know, but I didn't assume it to be *that* hard. So I'm greeting all members of this list, and since I'm obviously a (rather old, I know) "newbie", don't kill me because of the questions I might ask here. Oh, andd thanks to all the authors of these great & free applications - as well as all the others who are writing good articles about them. Life is fun again ;-) cheers, wjl aka Wolfgang Lonien from Bremen, Germany - -- Key ID 0x728d9bd0 - public key available at wwwkeys.de.pgp.net Honda NTV '94 still running on fuel - everything else here runs Debian GNU/Linux
