This is what I recommend to do, because nothing else, but jack#s default 32-bit float matters. >I was wondering about that 192k, but turns out it was a >miscommunication. 48k default then.

Corrections are appreciated through) In regards to space 192000 Hz seems to be the maximum provided by audio interfaces at the moment. >> It's not my wording, I quoted Audiobus settings. 128 frames isn't the >> frame size providing the lowest latency, just Audiobus mentions >> this.

In that case we just need to correct the text. Just me know >what it needs to say No, you misunderstand my words, frames affect the latency. Audio interfaces could work at less than 128 frames, at e.g. 64 frames. <= 256 frames, IOW <= 10 ms are required to use the computer as guitar effect processor. Stand alone gear should provide a latency of around <= 5 ms, but actually at around 10 ms they could already be usable. values much > 10 ms are more or less unusable for this task. ... >* We should steer the users toward 2 values, 256 and 1024.

This ensures that quasi all audio devices will work without xruns, as long as there are no serious issues, such as fishy hardware and unfavourable shared IRQs. Even if the audio devices shouldn't provide zero latency hardware monitoring, a user might have an analog mixing console or doesn't need to monitor at all. Not all kinds of audio production require low latency, even not music production. A user most likely will use the lowest frame value, IOW the lowest latency. Actually there's no value we really could recommend, because this depends much on the used hardware. The jack defaults provided by the jack manpage are more or less safe values. In short, jack's default is 1024 frames, but for many tasks a max of 256 frames is required. Now another issue. If you take a look at QjackCtl you'll see the rounded calculated values for the in + out latency at a given frames value, but related to the used hardware and software, the latency could be higher than the mathematical value. It doesn't matter that much, you could mention both, frames as well as the round trip latency. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
