Re: [Rosegarden-user] Audio Distros
Its a lightweight music distro so running LXDE makes it fast to me. I understand the desire to run 86_64 software but the 32bit is probably better for compatibility (at least that used to be the case... maybe not so much anymore). My recommendation is to open the software sources and check the bandshed repos. The kernels are there and grab the 3.6.6_rt pae kernel. Or the 3.8 pae. I just built a kernel from 3.6.6_rt to 3.10.10-rc7-rt. They explain it in the boards. Trulan has great info there ... I am making kernels that are awesome by following his directions. I can run virtualbox 4.2 and then run Windows XP 64 bit. Yes, from this 32bit distro. So speed is very good. Jack audio server runs super fast with great reliability. Also check out KXStudio. If you want 64bit, this is your option, no question.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Audio Distros
can some body tell how this AVL 32 bit distribution runs on i64/amd64 hardware ?is this as good / as fast as 64bit CPU ? I mean running other apps than music : database, imaging (GIMP), word processors, web browser, and so on.thank you Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2013 21:51:16 -0400 From: david.tisd...@gmail.com To: mrbrianc...@gmail.com CC: rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Rosegarden-user] Audio Distros Thanks Brian.

Hi David, I use Xubuntu 12.04 and I am happy with it. My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. There are no stability issues. I use the synths as DSSI-modules (fluidsynth, hexter, whysynth) for minimum latency and easy storing/restoring their settings. - I use the distribution's kernel source with the following tweaks for minimum latency: make menuconfig Processor type and features Preemption Model: Low-Latency Desktop Timer Frequency: 1000 HZ make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg -j 4 --initrd --revision=1.0.hm kernel_image kernel_headers Then I have 2 .deb-packages that I install with dpkg -i - I tweak fluidsynth-dssi to run it on 24 instruments at once in dssi.h #define FSD_CHANNEL_COUNT 25 - I tweak hexter in src/hexter.h #define HEXTER_DEFAULT_POLYPHONY 32 Regards Holger -- Everyone hates slow websites.
