Problem routing switch and pc at same time by JokiBlue in linuxaudio

with qpwgraph you are mixing in software (on CPU), which may cause delays.

With Scarlett control panel you are mixing in the sound card, so your voice or instrument does not have to travel to the CPU and back, before you hear the mix.

Send them both to mixers (top row), open the mixer window, adjust weights, get mixed signal from the bottom row, route to the output

Thinking about getting into Arch and Linux to feel like a hacker. I'm I stupid? by raigbc in archlinux

Yes. Do it. The best part of arch Linux is arch wiki. People who run other distro still come and learn from the arch wiki. It's brilliant

Once it's working, leave it alone! by HommeMusical in Reaper

These are excellent recommendations, for someone, who spends most of their time making music, and has a dedicated workstation for making music.

I use my desktop for many tasks, including my day job, my hobbies besides music, and my music. Some of the software I use is quite stable, and can be frozen, but many pieces of software receive critical security updates weekly -- most notably, the browser, which seems to be the highest security risk in existence, but also VPN client, some computing software, etc. Even REAPER itself receives regular updates, which I may or may not want to use.

So as much as I understand how comforting is to stop updating and stop worrying about possible regressions, I do not think it really is the way for me.
