Hi,
the Wiki [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Professional_audio ] opens with...

The article included wrong information, I already removed
"If you want to use any MIDI hardware you need to ensure the ALSA MIDI driver is loaded. You can set the MIDI driver to load at boot by creating the file /etc/modules-load.d/alsamidi.conf containing:"
IIRC apart from a bug that caused that the driver wasn't loaded, the driver always gets loaded automatically.
There are claims about rtc, 1000Hz. This was valid, but IMO should be obsolete now.
Etc., pp. ...
I don't want to rewrite the Wiki, especially because I won't and/or can't test every hint. Please contribute to the Wiki and/or to the "This and that" discussion [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Professional_audio ].

Hey Ralf, You're right. Many articles need expansion/ rewrite indeed. I have some things to add. Did a talk about low-latency setups on Arch during Linux Audio Conference 2015. There's some useful stuff in there, including realtime settings and systemd user service for JACK, that I just never committed. Thanks for the reminder! ;-) Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
