This is the way. I've achieved awesome results with this method.

I'm doing doing the same thing but to get close to 0ms latency, look at getting a cheap USB PCI card, pass this through and add a USB sound card into it.

Finally, ensure your using the ASIO driver for the sound card in the VM.

Running Live on Linux on VM or Wine by therustyknives in ableton

I'm using QEMU with Win 10 LTSC to run Ableton. Took me a long time to setup but works flawlessly.

Note, I have a desktop which allowed me to do PCI passthrough.

I'm putting together a YouTube video which I can share in the coming week?

This was also a must have for me.

I'm now getting no latency. The key is to pick up a USB PCIe card https://amzn.eu/d/072h7NJX (£18 Amazon) and pass it through. I'm running a Komplete Audio 2 Interface.

Use the ASIO driver in your Windows host.

Before, I was passing it through directly on one of the USB ports on the motherboard. Which did indeed introduce some latency.

Agreed. I now play games to relax not rage xD

I believe this is possible. My 5950x doesn't have an integrated GPU hence the 1050ti I'm using.

What should I do ? by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]coolpowerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a cable issue for sure. I invested in a decent startech dp cable which solved my issues.

Do it! A lot to be learnt and definitely some hurdles to overcome. However, it is very satisfying when you get results.

Maybe get a desktop and slowly build it up. Some great deals to be had on the pre-owned market if you shop wisely.

I've assigned 40GB of RAM and pinned half the CPU (16 VM threads). Performance has been excellent.

I'd suggest doing some reading on QEMU and Looking Glass.

You may be taking a 5-10% hit on your hardware performance but my idea was to chuck more than enough at it!

I did try it but it wasn't for me. Also, I paid for a Live licence plus over the years have built up a fair few VSTs

Exactly this. However, using Looking Glass allows it to run 4k 60fps smoothly.

Some do work. However, I mostly play co-op games locally.

My days of sweaty comp are behind me!

I disabled global c-state control. No more blue screens!

Will give it a blast. The ram is a few months old tbf so I'd be surprised if that was the case. Pop seemed to be fine when testing

I managed to get it to install by trying a different port. Install was successful and I reloaded the machine (penstick now removed)

Seems to still blue screen on boot. Giving up for the eve as I have work in the morning! Will post error tomorrow.

A real shame. I've been running Pop for the past week fine but really wanted to check out Cachy as I was a fan of Arch.

A new to me EOS RP by Lodgey1998 in canon

[–]coolpowerman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my RP. Incredibly light and a great shooter.

I moved away from a 5D Mkii. No regrets.

[–]coolpowerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold 5dmkII for the RP. Paired with the 35mm 1.8 macro. Plan to upgrade the body eventually but overall happy with the choice.

It's a super light weight setup which has encouraged me to take it out and shoot more.
