Hi, sorry for going offtopic for a little question, but this seems a good place to ask.
I'm running Win-Reaper (offtopic) under Wine (ah, smells a bit like topic again) on Ubuntu 17.10 - kernel 4.13.0 - lowlatency.
Code:
uname -v
#43-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 14 16:20:01 UTC 2018
The lowest buffersize that I can get an ok performance out of is 256 - which will give me about 5-6 ms latency (depending on the number of buffers/periods and the samplerate). This is ok for playing guitar or running a VSTi - but the minute I put effects on, the latency starts growing and xruns starts flowing.
I'm wondering if a realtime-kernel will help me. I've searched the net for good tuts on installing an RT-kernel, and it all seems very confusing and daunting.
You guys think it's worth going for an RT-kernel?
(again - sorry for being offtopic)
