Speaking of RME: if your budget will allow it: the Babyface Pro FS is fantastic. I expect to replace it if I go pro with music, USB2 gets retired, or it somehow gets physically broken - so basically never :)

Thanks for this info! Are you also using https://github.com/MrBollie/bbfpromix ?

Re: I need help! What is the most perfectly functioning audio/midi Interface for Linux?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midas_Consoles Midas has been acquired a while ago by the same company that owns Behringer. Now Behringer can claim they have Midas preamps on board. It's all marketing I guess and for me the quote is spot on, we probably can't hear any difference in a blind test betwee...

Re: It's a real-time circus out there!

This looks cool! Thanks! I may be wrong, but I don't think Pipewire does any thread priorities. It makes use of IRQ timing when in Pro Audio mode, but I think prioritizing the threads may be a place where an extra boost can be achieved when using a RT kernel or a generic kernel using the /threadirq...

True, if you only use such an interface for playing or recording notes then they should work good enough.

Re: I need help! What is the most perfectly functioning audio/midi Interface for Linux?

If its only Midi one is after, I use this cheapo from Aliexpress (5 Euro incl. shipping): I've had one of those. Tossed it in the bin as it couldn't handle more complex MIDI data. Did a quick search on that and this was the first find: https://sound.stackexchange.com/questions/48160/midi-usb-adapte...

Re: Alpine Linux struggling toward a

Now I see, thanks! But you would like to be able to use QjackCtl right? Maybe you could try unticking the following options in QjackCtl to get rid of the D-Bus related messages:

  • Enable D-Bus interface
  • Enable JACK D-Bus interface

These settings can be found in Settings - Misc in QjackCtl.

Re: Alpine Linux struggling toward a

b) two USB devices. I learnt that one plays the role of a master to which the 2nd has to be synchronised via resampling. You mean word clock? I don't thing the Allen & Heaths devices support that. If you want to use two USB interfaces without word clock you might want to read up on https://ardo...

Re: Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI + Ryzen 9 7950X3D

Changing parts shouldn't require reinstalling Linux. I'm running a Ryzen 7 7840HS that works nicely with Linux so I reckon a Ryzen 9 7950X3D should work too as they were released at about the same time. Not sure about the GPU though, my notebook has a 780M and it doesn't work properly yet, can't use...

Re: Alpine Linux struggling toward a

Maybe it's related to real-time group scheduling: https://webhook.site/f9fe18da-ba86-4ac0-9ead-db6a73eb0752 As a side note, prioritizing applications makes no difference, you want to prioritize threads, like IRQ threads or audio threads. The latter is being taken care of either by JACK or by the aud...
