zequenceLen-nb: in deed02:02
zequenceAs -lowlatency is greatly improving performance over -generic, we still lack a few ms 02:02
Len-nbThe trends in hardware and software seem to be throughput over latency. I read through the PCIe versions and that is the progression.02:36
Len-nbThe overhead for small packets is the same as for large packets.02:37
Len-nbIt was good to get an understanding of why serial is able to do faster data movement than parallel.02:45
zequenceLen-nb: You into classical? Found some old stuff I did about 10 years ago https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12809728/1%20-%20Orchestral%20piece%20in%20g%20flat%20minor.flac03:34
Len-nbAlmost sounds like a pipe organ in some places, but then I guess the pipe organ is one of the earliest tries at trying to sound like an orchestra.03:44
Len-nbzequence, well from a keyboard03:44
zequenceLen-nb: It's my Roland XV-5050. 03:47
zequenceI've made some of the sounds myself. And the register at which some instruments are playing wasn't exactly optimally orchestrated03:47
Len-nbSynth and not sample?03:48
zequenceSynth03:48
zequenceI was working a lot with the synth module for orchestral sounds. The default sounds are not really all good for that03:49
zequenceOf course, I didn't create the synth "samples"03:50
zequenceThere's a bank of several hundreds of samples of which all presets are based on03:50
zequencewaveforms. I'm sure you know03:50
zequenceHere's a fugue https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12809728/4%20-%20Fugue%20in%20C.flac03:52
zequenceAnd a cinematic sort of piece https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12809728/2%20-%20Cinematic%20Piece.flac03:53
zequenceI did a whole lot of music, but have deleted most of it03:53
zequenceThis is more 1910 style https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12809728/3%20-%20Piano%20Piece.flac03:54
zequenceAll of them style studies, compositional practices03:54
Len-nbzequence, while I do have more appreciation than at one time, the fact that I can't read music in time says a lot  :)04:05
Len-nbI do chord charts and follow peoples hands and my ears.04:06
zequenceI got into classical music after seeing Amadeus as a teenager. Went to music high school. Got in after only playing music for 1 1/2 years, and learnt notes just before the auditions. During my time in school I felt the time spent on theory/composition was so small, I really just kept learning on my own. Went through everything they had in the library04:14
zequenceApplied to University, but didn't realize what they were looking for in composition students, so I failed to enter. I could easily get in now, but haven't felt like applying for the longest time04:16
zequenceI have a problem with the institutions around that sort of music04:17
zequenceIt's not that uncommon for people to start studying again at a later age. Schubert went back to school in his 30s04:19
zequenceTakes a long time to get your compass straightened out.04:19
zequenceJust like in life as a whole04:19
Len-nbzequence, ya, been there alright.04:24
len-dtzequence, interesting thread about RTC and HPET on LAU the last few days14:25
zequencelen-dt: Yep14:26
