@amadeus It's great to see more and more professional audio software on Linux. Now if only I could get the latency down enough to make recording feasible.

@shanesemler There are a lot of positive developments in #linuxaudio.
What setup do you use, if I might ask?
I use a desktop PC with a Ryzen 9 3900X and 64GB of memory, Manjaro Linux with the standard 6.13 kernel, PipeWire, an RME Fireface in CC mode and Bitwig Studio.
With 256 samples at 96000 Hz my #latency is currently 3.6 ms. With 128 samples it is 2.1 ms. And 64 samples is good for 1.1 ms latency.
Now, I don't know if these are amazing values, but it works very well for me.

@amadeus Manjaro with a Stienberg UR12 and Reaper. I can't get it down enough to play guitar along with a beat, the latency makes it impossible. I don't remember the latency, but it was bad. I've tried all kinds of stuff, and I'm just tired of screwing around with it. I'm not reinstalling my entire system for this, which seems the standard answer. I've never had this much trouble with audio, even on Windows 95. Yes, multitrack audio recording was easier on Windows 95!

@graves501 @amadeus Yes, I'm using Pipewire.

@shanesemler @graves501 I do record and overdub audio a lot.
