On modern Linux systems, the most effective low-latency audio optimizations are:

1. real-time scheduling (rtprio, memlock, realtime/audio groups)

2. letting the DAW set CPU DMA latency (e.g., Ardour, REAPER)

3. Using preempt=full and threadirqs

4. Disabling HT/SMT

5. Configuring PipeWire for low latency

6. Setting the CPU governor to performance

7. Using the Pro Audio profile

8. Prioritizing sound card IRQs with rtirq or rtcirqus

I wrote to ORRA AUDIO about #Linux. You can see the answer in the screenshot.

If we want to have more #plugins for Linux, then we have to contact the developers and ask them about Linux.

RE: mastodon.social/@rekkerd/11691…

Actually, it's up to v3.0.2 now. I noticed this morning over at KVRAudio that they mentioned in a thread that they found a bug in the v.3.0.1 package that they wanted fixed. So if you've downloaded v3.0.1, go and download it again to get v3.0.2.
