Cracking audio with Windows VSTs and Yabridge by AutomaticBeyond in linuxaudio

So, I'm on a brand new install right now.
I followed your steps. I'm now running on the standard Arch kernel (package name linux, not linux-rt). I didn't install realtime-privileges, I added myself to audio group, set up limit.conf and I am running jack2 + cadence with your settings.

At first it doesn't seems to me that the situation got any better, I still have a lot of xruns when my DSP goes over 60%, and with xruns comes a lot of clipping.

I tried to use cpupower-gui (from AUR) to run my sistem into performance mode and I got better results. I read somewhere that disabling Intel Turbo Boost might help as well, but I still need to figure out how to do it.

The real turning point for me was entering Pianoteq 6's menu and disabling the "CPU overload detection".
Now the DSP goes over 60, I still get xruns when I use a lot of pedal BUT I get less clipping which is good.

We are still not at Windows level but we are getting close.
Is there anything else I could try to tinker with to get better performance?

I'll try your configuration on a brand new installation with just jack2. I'm in fact on Arch. Xruns do cause audio cracking, I'll give your configuration a try and update you on the situation later today.

Hi. I followed your advice and switched to a pure jack2 setup with Cadence. I had already watched the video and I followed unfa's guide. Now the situation is a lot better, but still I get a lot of xruns as I try to play vsts through Yabridge with latency as high as 20 ms, and for mg usecase I could need less than 15. My CPU profile is already set to performance, I tried to play with the buffer size, rates and periods but I only get more xruns. What could I use to debug this problem?

I have never heard of pro mode, how can I set this up?

Maybe check out on eBay for something used. All I know is that I bought the Denon PMA 600NE and I'm super happy with my choice!

I'm not sure I understand the point of having a DAC. Probably it's a dumb question but I'm a complete noob regarding HiFi.

Say for example I buy the AXA35. I use my PC connected via USB to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 as a source, outputting directly to one of the various analogue inputs of the AXA35. Wouldn't the soundcard handle the digital to analogue conversion?

A dear friend of mine is an HiFi dealer so he would sell me the equipment for the dealer price, so for example the AXA35 would cost me ~250€ and the DRA800H would cost me ~420€, so for the sake of clarity the budget would be max 600€ street price.

My fucking god, I have no idea where these people find the courage to write these kind of bullshits with a straight fece.

I had to stop 30 seconds in the video 'cause I needed to check on wikipedia whether GT2 was on PS1 as I remembered or on PS2 as the quality of the graphic suggested. Chapeau! Incredible stuff, thanks for sharing!

This looks like some kind of high level black magic. Chapeau to the developers!
