Help with compile time settings for a Q6600 linux box
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 7:03 pm
Hi,
Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere, but since I am a real newbie/dummy with linux and linuxsampler, I'd really appreciate some guidance! (This is actually my first post to a bb ever, so please bear with me.)
Thing is, would someone recommend compile time settings for an Intel Q6600 (core2quad) 64-bit UbuntuStudio 8.04.1, 8Gbyte RAM system where increased polyphony is needed?
I've been trying to understand what settings to change but I am still very uncertain what settings should be changed to what degree and why...(as I said I am really ignorant to all this...). I've read the debian howto on the main site and most of the topics in this bb and I am still uncertain what to do...
I do have LS running today but want to increase polyphony and at the same time optimize for my hardware. I really like LS and will from now on take the linux path (abandoning MS$). I use it both for playing virtual piano and a virtual theater pipe organ (MiditZer) and it works great - but with Miditzer it seems I sometimes run out of polyphony (or is it voices?).
I have also been trying to find out what all compile time default (and min-max) settings and metrics are - is this documented somewhere?
Sorry if I sound confusing, hope you understand what I'm looking for...
Anyway, any input will be highly appreciated, for sure!
