IIRC one of Rosegarden's drawbacks is that the system freeze, when trying to use HPET. The HPET/hrtimer might be needed to decrease MIDI jitter. Btw. a drawback of Qtractor is the file management. It's hard to archive snapshots or to play a song using different directories, e.g. to play a copy of the song. Rosegarden does those jobs very good. OTOH does Qtractor generate MIDI files, while IIRC Rosegarden has got it's own format. - Ralf -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
