[SOLVED] Is a realtime kernel needed?

I have until now always used standard kernels, and it have (and still does) served me well for making music. Maybe because I have a very fast cpu and a lot of ram.. dunno.. It's a topic I really don't know much about, so here it goes..: 1. What are the main differences in having a realtime kernel in...

Re: jack not working says cannot start server

qjackctl cannot see the audio connections (connect button -> audio tab, nothing in there? connections windows in qjackctl wont show anything until the jack server is up running. Which jack do you have installed..? There are more than one. My distro have 3 different jack packages. http://www.jackaud...

Re: cannot start jackd with latency less than 10.7 ms

Have you measured it?

Code: Select all

Re: RME HSDPe AIO gets polluted by MoBo - any remedies?

My prefered setup is so minimalist that is looks worse than a windows machine from start 90's.. No DE, no icons, no menus, no network manager, no noting, mostly just scripts doing stuff I want it to.But I love it. I'm a terminal dude anyway, and don't like distraction.. And it is perfect as a studio...

Re: Guitarix starts pulseaudio ?

Installing XFCE and having pulseaudio not spawning didn't survive reboot. Window manager was not the sinner.. Avoiding dbus settings and swapping out jack2dbus with a regular jack2 did not solve any problems either But for the sake of completeness I found a fix, I'd share here for others in the futu...

Re: Guitarix starts pulseaudio ?

I can confirm that it actually was my window manager.. I just installed xfce4 to check and unwanted pulse spawning stopped.. Oups. :roll: I haven't figured out why, and I haven't installed or enabled any sound notification or stuff like that. The systray icon not showing is "normal" on th...

[SOLVED] Guitarix starts pulseaudio ?

I usually do a pulseaudio -k when I am working on music and recording, since I don't need it in that moment. But when I start op Guitarix pulseaudio suddenly loads up and it is impossible to kill it, it constantly respawns. I run a very minimal setup Arch 64bit, i3wm, no DE and I know 100% that it i...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with jackd: Unknown driver "hw:USB"

I just bought one of these also today (needed and extra card for my laptop also), and it looks like there is no control options in alsamixer for this card. It is not a big deal since the alsamixer channels for setting the level are kind of messy anyway. On my other Presonus 22VSL I have a few contro...

Re: Polyverse Gatekeeper airwave/linvst/wine

Wines d2d1 can be problematic. Try disabling d2d1 in the Libraries tab of winecfg and see what happens (type in d2d1 and then add it and then edit it and choose disable). That makes it not load up at all in airwave-manager. Some other vst's still work though. I Enabled d2d1 again. How does this dis...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with jackd: Unknown driver "hw:USB"

Here are some other suggestions.. Can you see the device with lsusb when you have the problem?, if not can you then see it if you unplug the device wait a couple of seconds and plug it back in..? It is a VERY good sign if you/the system is seeing the device. Do you have alsa-restore.service running ...

Re: Any recent DAW comparisons?

I really don't understand people coughing up hundreds of dollars for Ableton or Bitwig. But that's me. For me it is not much different than buying a new instrument or a piece of hardware. When I buy I tend to use the stuff a LOT, several hours a day, day in and day out, for years and years. For me ...

Re: PreSonus AudioBox 44VSL

I have the 22vsl from Presonus and have been using it on Linux for years. Mine has one minor bug, which is that the input channels are always muted on boot. My technique is following: 1. I start jack 2. Open up pavucontrol, which reveals that pulseaudio is confused, because of jack. 3. kill pulseaud...

Have you tried another cable and some og the other usb ports? - since it happens on both win/linux.. are there any usb power saving something enabled anywhere?

Polyverse Gatekeeper airwave/linvst/wine

Can someone help me test this vst. I have it running pretty ok in both bitwig and renoise through airwave/wine-staging, but the moment I touch the brush section which is supposed to open up a menu with different brushes the gui crashes. The plugin is still active and responds fine to both audio and ...
