Fire up Ardour and record 32 channels of audio at the same time set to |
| 31 |
<5mS latency using Jack and see if whatever version of the mainline |
| 32 |
kernel you are running doesn't have. I've recorded as many as 48 |
| 33 |
channels @ 48KHz across three hard drives at less than 2mS on my main |
| 34 |
recording platform, but that requires rt-sources. I doubt I could do |
| 35 |
better than about 25mS with vanilla-sources. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Just my experience, |
