| hagisbasheruk | just downoading Ubuntu Studio right now but what kernel would work best for live midi keyboard with soft synths ,preempt kernel,lowlatency kernel,realtime kernel ? | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Blank__ | hagisbasheruk, realtime would be best but it seems to affect some (proprietary) video drivers | 12:03 |
| hagisbasheruk | i have x3100/gma 960 i think | 12:04 |
| Blank__ | hmm, what brand is that? | 12:05 |
| hagisbasheruk | Intel | 12:05 |
| Blank__ | ah | 12:07 |
| Blank__ | well that should be fine | 12:07 |
| persia | Depending on the synth, you might be fine with generic. | 12:07 |
| Blank__ | i haven't heard of problems with the rt kernel and intel | 12:07 |
| Blank__ | persia's right though | 12:07 |
| persia | Most synths don't need the entire processor for a relatively new chip. | 12:07 |
| persia | If you're using something like fluidsynth with a soundfont, you *definitely* don't need realtime. | 12:08 |
| hagisbasheruk | good stuff :) never tried studio for long in the past but deciding to give it aother go | 12:08 |
| Blank__ | from what i've seen lately, you don't need to change kernel, as the generic can do per-process pre-emption | 12:08 |
| Blank__ | and the latency isn't really that bad | 12:08 |
| hagisbasheruk | also i may want to do some realtime dsp processing for software defined radio tranciever | 12:09 |
| persia | Try that with generic. If it's not tight enough, then change the kernel. | 12:10 |
| persia | The key is to focus on trying first, then changing kernels: focus on the kernel first leads to more effort than you need,. | 12:10 |
| hagisbasheruk | okay and thanks | 12:10 |
| Blank__ | i've heard that the realtime kernel has some problems with power-saving features etc | 12:10 |
| Blank__ | something about it being a bit of a hack | 12:10 |
| Blank__ | so probably best to start with the generic and yeah, work your way up if you feel it would improve something | 12:11 |
| hagisbasheruk | well i really don't use power saving anyway :) | 12:11 |
| hagisbasheruk | thanks persia and Blank__ | 12:11 |
| Blank__ | no problem, good luck hagisbasheruk | 12:12 |
| hagisbasheruk | i'll start off with EnergyXT as i know that program well and they have a Linux version and i own a key for it , then i'll progress to the open source stuff later | 12:14 |
