Hi everyone,
I didn't notice till now, but I have Jackd and QJackCtl installed on AntiX M11. Is there a way to obtain low-latency on AntiX? I read that some distros (Ubuntu Studio, AV Linux, etc) are"dedicated" to audio recording, with a special low-latency kernel.
I've also seen a video on Youtube where someone modifies/changes the kernel without changing distros.

Opening QJackCtl, I see that my latency is about 5 milliseconds, which is pretty good. Would AntiX be recommended for audio processing/recording?

Everything is in AntiX is so fast, it seems like the right distro for audio work!

Any thoughts?

There is some documentation on changing kernels to provide better response time when doing audio processing, like here:

and modifying IRQ priorities, here:

Anyone here familiar with these types of changes? Is this possible/practical on AntiX 12?
