Same with Ardour, and I prefer the way Ardour does it. Just out of curiosity have you tried Ardour?

They're not the same thing. Ardour is free and open source. Reaper isn't. I think that should be a factor in your choice. The Reaper love is coming from people who produce electronic music. (I like your music guys, no offence). For electronic music MIDI is very important and (at the moment) MIDI is ...

RAM The received wisdom is that Ryzens work best with 3600MHz CL16 RAM. This is a specifically Ryzen thing as Intel chips don't seem to show any performance benefit going from 3200MHz to 3600MHZ. This is due to the chiplet architecture of Ryzens. There is inter-chiplet communication that AMD call '...

... the hardware support for my AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX is FAR superior to even the most recent kernels in Linux which are still leaving me with freeze ups and unpredictable behavior on this particular machine. Do you have amd-ucode installed? It's propietary but recommended. These updates pr...

Thanks Kott. The fact that your system is working tells me that there is no fundamental problem using a soundcard with a PCI bridge. I updated to kernel 5.12.2 and now threadirqs is working. Every time I updated my kernel I tried threadirqs and this time it worked. If you want to try out different k...

Yes, that's too hot. 90 degrees C is about the limit. It was me who posted that so my apologies for overheating your processor. I'm running a desktop and my processor idles at ~40 degrees C with those kernel parameters. Under extreme load it goes up to ~74 degrees C so it's OK for my system. An audi...

And me. Just going to the shop for beer.

Some things I used in Audacity :

- Spectral view
- Generate tones, chirps (frequency sweeps), silence and noise
- Zoom into sample level
- Polarity reverse for null tests

It doesn't look like some of the other software suggested does all that.

Not going to happen, ever. Anyone who would be interested in working on an audio editor is probably already contributing to a project like this already. I know you're familiar with logical fallacies and while I don't see an obvious one here it is a weak argument. You've heard of black swans I take ...

Audacity what got into you? WTF is going on with it? OK, so I was willing to tolerate the hideous UI, the fact that the JACK implementation is shit, and the fact it causes xruns if you do ... well, anything really because it was open source. Time for a fork? nilshi -- you're the forkmeister. :lol:

How would anyone check for? Use groups : $ groups realtime audio neo I use Arch so there is a 'realtime' group that isn't used on Debian. That's the groups, now realtime threads. There's a file that's either /etc/security/limits.conf or /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf and should have this : @audi...

It's basic but it's worth checking -- are you in the audio group and can the audio group run realtime threads?

I recently set up a new system with a Ryzen 3900x. It can do low latencies. I have tweaked quite a lot of stuff and unfortunately it wasn't very scientific -- I'm not sure what did what. :) Something I did notice was that the performance governor doesn't work the same way with a Ryzen chip. There's ...

The short answer is no. If you look at htop there are two relevant columns PRI and NI -- the priority and the nice. At first glance it seems to work backwards. The lower the PRI value the higher the priority. nice makes PRI higher which makes the priority lower. To give a process a higher priority n...

Very funny. I laughed about this all day.

BTW I use Arch.
