<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks for the responses.<br><br></div>The generic kernel runs fine, and it might be good enough for my needs. Really, I've been a bit greedy with my audio setup; I want to be able to run low latency (around 3 buffers of 64 frames at 48000) all the time with no dropouts, when this really might not be realistic (especially when I have a web browser and a lot of tabs open).<br>
<br></div><div>If I use Cinnamon (haven't tested plain Gnome much), I can't keep audio very stable at low latencies; I get tons of xruns when moving windows around.<br><br></div><div>Things are way smoother with Openbox. It's pretty ugly and confusing compared to other window managers, but for audio work it probably won't be too bad.<br>
<br></div><div>I might also need to look into reducing MIDI latency; I tried setting up a mic in front of my MIDI controller and another one in front of a pair of headphones, and it seemed like there was a pretty big delay between the time I trigger a sound and the time I hear it - probably never less than 20 milliseconds even when running jack and pd at a level that should have given me about... 5 milliseconds.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>If things don't work out on Fedora, I might test my luck with Ubuntu Studio or KXstudio, which also have readily available lowlatency and realtime kernels.<br><br></div><div>But for now, I'll try seeing where I can get on the generic kernel.<br>
