[LAT] RT kernel for audio and dynamic vs static ticks

In móst guides on how to build an RT kernel for audio you advised to
untick the Dynamic Tick selection and change the default tick period
from 300 Hz to 1000Hz, during kernel configuration..

I have built an RT kernel without unticking the Dynamic Tick
selection, i.e. the kernel has a dynamic tick length.
With this kernel I do not experience any audible difference from the
same kernel but with static tick at 1000Hz rate.

Is the advise to use static ticks at 1000Hz still valid?

Anyone that has insight on this are more than welcome to share their
knowledge :)

Kind Regards

Lars
