That's all those issues with IRQ and PC design that made me think in the past to start a PC brand. Having a laptop with integrated 96khz would be awesome to open some projects "on the road" without the need to have the usual external device connected. However, I never found someone skilled enough with architecture to start something.
Len, based on your experience, is there a PC brand that does things better than the others? Some of sound engineer friends trust Levono Thinkpads, for it is often recommended by some audio system vendors (but with Windows). You told that Mac / Coreaudio is great for low latency. However, what about Windows / Asio? I mean, it also depends a lot of the PC architecture... Can we compare Linux / Jack, or direct use of Alsa like Ardour is able to do know, with Windows / Asio? Which one is better? An other question comes to my mind: Harrison is well known for their digital live mixing consoles, and they told in the past that they are using Linux as the operating system. Is it still the case? of course, they are designing custom hardware, but is there some best practice that we could get from them? _______________ Antoine THOMAS Tél: 0663137906 Le jeu. 27 sept. 2018 à 01:29, Len Ovens <l...@ovenwerks.net> a écrit : > On Wed, 26 Sep 2018, ttoine wrote: > > > > After all, the point is to be able to install an optimised system > without > > spending a lot of time searching for all the software, plugins and > configurations > > > You can do that with some metapackages, scripts, or even a tutorial. > Does that > > justify the work and energy to maintain a distribution?
