hi, search the archive for low latency on windows (playing with priority). but of course i recommand you to switch to linux with a realtime kernel. i have a firepod (firewire soundcard - using freebob / ffado) and my latency is very low, it's around 7 ms.
this is how i start pd -nosleep -rt -audiobuf 64 -jack jack audio connection kit (low latency for soundcard). you will need to play with priority in linux too (/etc/limits.conf - search the archive). i would recommand to uninstall or disable updatedb. use qjackctl to simplify your life. pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Newlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "pd-list" <pd-list@iem.at> Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 2:30 PM Subject: [PD] Best PD+OS/Hardware combinations for low audio latency? >I want desperately to be able to process guitar in "real time" with PD. > > I have a Sony VAIO laptop and Edirol FA-66 Firewire soundcard. > > It seems that using Windows is not an option, since I get outrageously > high audio latency with PD, and a search through the mail list > archives suggests that the consensus is that this is unavoidable in > Windows. > > I'm trying to get the FA-66 working with Ubuntu, but I'm not quite > smart enough to understand how to do this. > > What I'm wondering is: > > 1.
