Soundcraft Signature 12mtk with Reaper in Linux?

[Carlier74]

Does anyone here have any experience with the USB connection of the Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK into Reaper on a Linux-based system?

I read in another post that a user was struggling with the latency, but they were connecting to Audacity.

As long as you won't use Audacity and will properly set up JACK server, the problem would be nonexistent. If that console is class compliant, then you'll be up and running in less than three minutes.

Hi Alex,

I'd be using Reaper, so that should be ok then. Thanks for your comment.

If the device works in linux, you could also just use reaper's alsa support, no need for jack unless you want to route midi and audio around to other jack clients.

Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. On my machine, there's a vast difference in Ardour's performance between JACK and ALSA. JACK is a clear winner.
