Hi,
does anybody know which would be the most efficient kernel for low latency with Ubuntu Studio on Lucid?
(BTW I am using Pd-extended 0.42.5 on an Athlon II X2 dual core with one audio patch and one separate Gem patch connected with netsend / netreceive)
I am not sure if the realtime kernel is any more optimized than the regular Ubuntu Studio generic kernel since it hasn't been updated in a while. Can the generic-pae kernel actually slow down Pd or is this more of a theoretical additional delay in addressing the extended memory? I am using 4GB of ram but could live with 3.2GB if the non pae kernel is faster.
I have made the experience that I need the proprietary ATI graphic drivers for smooth audio playback. I'm not sure if these drivers can interfere with the realtime kernel and make it even less efficient than the generic kernel.
It takes a lot of time to actually try out all of these options. So, any experience would be greatly appreciated!
