[23:50] <david__> Just installed UbuntuStudio 11.10 today
[23:50] <david__> Any tips on achieving low latency?
[23:50] <david__> The documentation seems to be out of date.
[23:52] <holstein> david__: just try it 'as-is'
[23:52] <holstein> you can try abgogani's ppa
[23:53] <holstein> https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa
[23:53] <holstein> if you dont use JACK, you'll want to get familiar with it
[23:54] <holstein> you can ask around in #opensourcemusicians if its slow in here
[23:55] <david__> I'm new to audio recording (other than audacity on Windows)
[23:55] <david__> On Jack it says Latency 46.4 msec. I've read that it is supposed to be below 10 msec
[23:55] <holstein> david__: i say, fire up ubuntu, and install audacity, and 'get your feet wet'
[23:56] <holstein> david__: supposed to?
[23:56] <holstein> i can get under 1
[23:56] <holstein> but i dont do that all the time
[23:56] <holstein> david__: what are you doing?
[23:56] <holstein> software synthesisers?
[23:56] <holstein> realtime effects?
[23:56] <holstein> if not, you dont need low latency
[23:56] <david__> I'm needing some of the features of Ardour which is actually why I'm trying Linux
[23:56] <holstein> pesonally, i think 10ms is fine
[23:57] <holstein> anything over like 12ms, and i can tell
[23:57] <holstein> so, it really makes no difference
[23:57] <holstein> 15ms... 50ms
[23:57] <holstein> who cares
[23:57] <holstein> ardour compensates if you are overdubbing
[23:58] <holstein> im mixing something right now at 60ms or so
[23:58] <holstein> but, if i need a software synthesiser, i can push it to 2ms or whatever
[23:58] <david__> I want to record from Rosegarden to Ardour
[23:59] <david__> You say I don't need to worry about latency?
