![]() Running jackd with realtime priority minimizes latency, but may lead to complete system lock-ups by requesting all the available physical system memory, which is unacceptable in multi-user environments. Accept this option to create the file /etc/security/limits.d/nf, granting realtime priority and memlock privileges to the audio group. If you want to run jackd with realtime priorities, the user starting jackd needs realtime permissions. As part of the JACK installation script, I get the following dialog: Installing Ardour also installs JACK, a dependency. I could also switch to another DAW where VST hosting isn’t crippled, but for now I am sticking with Live.I am apt-get installing Ardour, a sound mixing program, just to try it out. I’d rather use standalone VCV and Reaktor and send the audio into Live instead of trying to navigate Ableton’s botched VST hosting. In the standalone VCV I frequently use multiple (>= 4) audio inputs/outputs and multiple MIDI in/out channels this is trivial to do in VCV but impossible in Live due to how it limits MIDI and audio ins & outs for VSTs. Try getting 4 audio ins and outs and 4 MIDI ins and outs from the Reaktor VST in Live and you’ll immediately see what I’m talking about – Live simply doesn’t allow it, even though the Reaktor VST itself does allow it (and you can do it in other DAWs). The problem with VST hosting in Live is that it forces the VST to only accept the single MIDI input from live, and only audio routings from Live (usually only two, even in VSTs that support more than that). I haven’t figured out a way to do the same kind of routing in VCV Host without loopMidi. Maybe I’m misunderstanding but I’ve found Ableton’s MIDI routing with VST’s to be very good. audio and CV for my hardware modular to process and send back) Also, Rack V2 is set to have multi-soundcard capability, so it might be possible to have some IO talk directly to the soundcard, bypassing Jack (e.g. There is a small latency price to pay for the flexibility - I have set up Jack with 64 samples going in and 64 samples going out, which I think is added on to the soundcard buffer (which for me is also 64 samples) - but overall responsiveness to live controller input is perfectly acceptable for me. Bitwig sets itself up to connect to everything in Jack when it starts up, and if I then start up Rack (with a patch that uses JackRouter ASIO as its Audio IO), Bitwig detects the launch and connects all the Rack I/O to the dedicated Bitwig channels for me.Īpplication launching when loading routing presets isn’t possible, at least as far as I’ve seen - but I know there are some more sopisticated tools available on Linux that haven’t made their way over to Windows yet, perhaps it’s something that could arrive in the future… Personally I have everything set up to work how I want it already, I hardly ever have to look at the routing, just kind of works in the background - and it’s stable too. I know you can save routing as presets in Carla but I think a lot of the persistent linking in any case is actually handled by Bitwig, as it’s a native Jack client Can you save these Jack setups so applications are automatically started and autowired for a play and forget experience? Optimally like presets, so you could use applications like plugins that are automatically loaded and unloaded when the preset changes?
