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