Re: Renoise 3.2 released
It looks like a very good mileage so far. It runs very smoothly on my old notebook (possibly even better than 3.1.x). I didn't look at the changelog in details but I'd bet some very welcome performance tweaks were also on the menu. The only problem is that now that we have a screen detachable mixer ...

Re: SCARLETT 3RD GEN just announced
:mrgreen: Guilty as charged. I'm wondering if this announcement will result in a slight price drop on the resale of the 2nd gen Scarlett devices... You're reading my mind ;-) So far, 3rd Gen doesn't seem to bring anything really groundbreaking (except apparently new problems), but some destocking p...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
Ok, so: no HW issue and MX linux is supposed to be based on debian stable = you can very likely skip the avlinux step. -> before jumping on debian testing for the newer mesa, it could still be worth installing another window manager, select it from the lightdm greeter and see how things go with Reno...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
As merlyn said. If you don't have irq threading activated, all bets are off. Regarding that graphic issue: why don't you just boot avlinux from usb and try the renoise demo from there? This should at least tell you if it's a hardware issue or not. You have a working debian system, you shouldn't need...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
Nice one, even Taktik doesn't have a clue ;-) I wouldn't bet on the session manager, I was just meaning to install a minimal window manager and test the performance (after making sure all xfce related stuff is not running - preferably after reboot). This is the easiest thing to try without screwing ...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
Without compton I get an extreme load of xruns in Renoise, which is somehow related to how Renoise is drawing its GUI. That is even weirder, you shouldn't need a compositor to run Renoise, it is the leanest thing around. (I have no problem using it as a DAW with Guitarix at 2-3 ms latency on a 5y o...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
Ah, yes, rtkit is a dependency of pulseaudio, probably better not touch it then.
For the IRQ threads:yes you should see them in the process list (I usually check with htop).
The behavior of RT kernels is to have it enabled by default, if not you can use the "threadirqs" boot parameter.

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
A few shots in the dark here, after looking at your pastebin: - rtkit is abandoned for 5 years and running at RTprio 99, right in the danger zone. I wouldn't trust that nowadays, maybe it interferes with things that are now better done by the kernel. Did you try disabling it? - Is IRQ threading even...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
One idea here: Try to get back to "standard" buffersizes, so something like 512 instead of 528. I don't know about Reaper but this seems to cause problems with some applications (on my setup, Ardour didn't like it for example) By the way, if anyone want to take over the github project or j...

Re: Does anyone write a python JACK patchbay customized for one's own setup?
I don't think you need to re-implement something from scratch for switching between jack patchbay presets from a keyboard shortcut. You can do that with qjackctl by using command line switches: " -a, --active-patchbay=[path] Set active patchbay definition file" Then it should be just about...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
Thanks for double checking. So it looks like another configuration setting that could be detected better (although this is really a corner case) - at least we know about it. On my side I didn't have much time for more testing (or to look at the jack API), but I created the project on github: https:/...

Re: Standard test needed to benchmark XRUNs
Looking at your results I'd guess your processor is 2.6 GHz. That seems to be the most important factor in how many circles or cycles it takes to cause an Xrun. Quite close ;-) That's an old i5 3317u (Ivy Bridge) than can hardly sustain the max turbo frequency of 2.4 GHz. ...And I think I managed t...
