Manjaro-RT Cinnamon
I was happy to try this distro as it has both RT and cinnamon wich I like a lot.
To my surprise it runs very smoothly at average 0,7% cpu use on idle.
But... when trying to run reaper even at 5,6 ms latency (256 samples) Reaper freezes. It seems to happen mostly with Kontakt but I did'nt do extensive testing yet.
I run windows plugins through Linvst and use cadence to set things up.
All installs come from the AUR repositories mostly.
I see 2 things in HTOP that seems to be the culprit:
-PulseAudio blablabla Deamon is acting up 12-20% cpu use (maybe this is normal using RT)
-Cinnamon --replace is acting the worst 20%+ cpu use.
I did some of the tweaks suggested in another thread like turning off windows tiling and disable compositing.
I was wondering if you guys had any tips as where to tweak I tried to change PulseAudio for Alsa but I can't make it happen, do you guys know why when I choose my usb interface via alsamixer in terminal, it always reverts back to PulseAudio ?
Some pointers to change to alsa might be a good solution to try. Do you guys use cadence to set things up ?
I have more luck with Xubuntu so far.
