[arch-general] Arch Wiki Professional_audio
Hi, the Wiki [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Professional_audio ] opens with... "This article or section needs expansion." and a link to the discussion, but I still don't understand what actually is missing. ...followed by an unrealistic claim about grotesque low latency. 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 ]. Regards, Ralf

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

This is the talk, right? http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2015/video.php?id=60 It is right up my alley. Thank you for mentioning it.

Exactly. The stuff is also still available in AUR, even has seen some upgrades and I'm still using it successfully in large-scale and multichannel setups. -- https://sleepmap.de
Great to know there was a talk about Arch pro-audio in LAC! I think there is a lot of information there that you can add to the wiki. I did a rewrite once but as Ralf said, rewriting again can be quite difficult. Ralf, David, and anyone else invested in pro-audio now -- let me hijack this thread a bit: Can you guys have a look at https://linuxmusicians.com/ viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17034 and see if you're interested in taking over the ArchAudio project? Thanks. On 30 March 2017 at 22:36, David Runge <dave@sleepmap.de> wrote:

I did a rewrite once but as Ralf said, rewriting again can be quite difficult. Yeah, there will be even another this year, but mainly on Arch Linux ARM on Raspberry Pi 3 (for teaching sound synthesis using the jack API and C++) this time.

Thanks. Sounds great. Before the beginning of July I don't have much time though, as I'm in the same boat you were in (thesis and all that madness).
On the plus side: I have been using Arch for about 10 years now and it would be nice to get a little more into packaging (aside from the AUR) and signing. I don't see myself going to use another distro for audio in the future, so I'd be happy to revive it somehow. Guess Ralf might also be interested (from reading a lot about real-time kernels in his mails)?! Well, you got my contact. Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

Hi Ray, after being long-term unemployed I'll sign up tomorrow or next week. I will work full-time for at least 1½ years, so I not only have less time, it's also an issue that I'm not used to this kind of inflexible daily routine. In short, no, taking over ArchAudio is ill-timed. Regards, Ralf

Ok thanks guys. @Ralf sure no obligation. @David I will let Jon know about your potential interest. P.S: Apologies for the top-posting and HTML, I forgot I had enabled HTML for some "corporate" communication. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
