Hi,

I want to build an computer audio mixing/processing system based on PD. My questions are mainly concerned with the stability and reliability of the system. So what do I need to do to make a software design in PD stable? The software should be able to do some calculations, equalization and routing for 64x64 hardware audio In/Out.

What do you recommend?

• System? I thought Linux Debian.
• Soundcard. RME MADI and the corresponding Linix driver seems to be a good choice.
• Configuration of PD? Are there some tricks to make PD rock-steady?
• Software design? What should I keep in mind when programming?
• Long-term stability? This system should work on demand and for a long time. Maybe shutting down the system should not be possible for the user!?
• Does PD actually do multicore processing?

Thanks for any help!

best

Fabio
