Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe
I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel
talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're
getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the
preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results
(2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling
my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this
is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for
the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases.
I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less
kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as
well.
I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels
compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be
off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just
utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements.
I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a
2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

Comps group for Fedora Audio Spin packages
by Brendan Jones
Hi all,
does anyone have any objection to a new comps group containing packages
currently present in the Fedora Jam audio spin?
We will be discussing names further within the music creation SIG /
fedora-music mailing list soon, but Audio Production or Music Creation
are two that immediately spring to mind. Suggestions welcome.
regards
Brendan

Sponsor and Review needed
by Brian Monroe
Hey guys,
I was finally able to figure out what was going on with synthclone.
I've got the rpm built and successful koji builds but I still need review
and a sponsor. I do want to get to a place where I can help out brandon and
others with some of the packaging.
