[02:42] now i'm puzzled.... :? :? i have jackd set to the largest buffer size, with 8 periods/buffer, and i'm still getting really low latency.... qjackctl reports it should be 743 milliseconds [02:42] i even rebooted the whole computer with these new settings to make sure it's not some idle process i forgot to kill or something like that [02:44] still getting imperceptible latency, which in my case would be < about 12 ms [02:47] not too often someone tries to RAISE latency, but i'm just testing stuff =) [03:01] weird.... moving my .jackdrc out of the way produces different (but also erratic) results.... [03:08] it looks like qjackctl is not controlling jackd at all. Although, it does write a .jackdrc file with the desired command line, except something's not working.... i need to figure this out [03:11] moving that file out of the way, i get a ringing effect, like the buffer size was waaaaay too short... [03:12] with xrun count saying "0 (8786)" [04:27] ? [05:20] hello cfhowlett [05:20] how are you? [05:21] delt, greetings [05:23] cfhowlett: do you use midi keyboards and/or production audio apps? [05:23] delt, nope. sorry. [05:23] delt, #opensourcemusicians [05:23] cfhowlett: thanks [05:24] delt, happy2help! === Samul|AWAY is now known as Samul` [12:24] great job on latest lts release, love it === scott_ is now known as Guest23779 === Sakrecoer_readin is now known as Sakrecoer === Samul` is now known as Samul|AWAY === LikeVinyl is now known as PepeEstropajo === PepeEstropajo is now known as LikeVinyl [22:21] hey, neat trick i just learned - send SIGUSR1 to a dd process to make it output progress info to its stdout! [22:22] i was always under the impression you needed to use a hacked version of 'dd' to get any verbose output, but :D [22:22] I think it has been that way for a long time. [22:23] yeah, i don't know if it's part of the original unix design, or some new linux/freebsd/etc. addition [22:23] i still have an old unix manual lying around somewhere, i should check [22:24] if i can find it. [22:25] HA FOUND IT!! This manual dates from 1986 [22:25] published by AT&T [22:28] whoa, i totally forgot i had this!!! Given to me by a teacher when i was in college [22:28] because of my interest in linux/*bsd [22:31] The manual says siginfo works too. [22:31] OvenWerks: linux manpage? didn't see it [22:31] info coreutils 'dd invocation' [22:32] oh... that info thing :/ they should just merge all that 'info' into the manpages [22:32] dd is not really a part of Linux so much as the GNU tools which have been around longer than Linux. [22:33] true [22:33] but still, manpages have always been the standard unix way to document a command/tool/application [22:34] anyway... gonna try out booting the desktop machine in tango linux, see what it looks like [22:34] bbl =) [22:34] info is the extended documentation. I don't know how long it has been around but it was there in 1995 or so when I started looking at Linux/unix [22:35] heh, you've been a linux user about as long as me [22:35] anyway bbl
