Having Trouble with Protools and Linux. 1068

You're dancing now Linonut. The breastle says Protools, which is a high end audio recording application and my post is in keeping with the context of that breastle.

IOW I don't care how long it takes your little bits and bytes to circulate around a somewhat bloated kernel, it's all GIGO to me.

I move a slider and the latency is adjusted accordingly and I can get very low latencies easily. No kernel compile required (hint hint!)

You're all over the place now Linonut.

This is a very simple concept. Windows does it easily, today and now. Linux? I'm sure it can be done, but easily? No way.

Somewhat correct. The amount of buffers effects the latency, but there are trade offs depending upon the OS AS WELL as the program and the hardware as well. IOW you may get 6 msec with Nuendo but only 10 with Sonar (made up numbers).

Also each independent application, say Soundforge and Sonar, can have their own latencies running at the same time. That is why the applications control it.

The soundcard is profiled during the setup of the program and it determines the amount of latency that is suggested, and this default number is generally a very low value especially with ASIO drivers.

It depends. But again you are all over the place.

You are talking theory, and I am talking here today, and doing it NOW.

I left the rest intact because I mostly agree with it.
