Re: [Hydrogen-devel] Hello hydrogen user / Newbe questions

[<ma...@sm...>]

Hi Leandro,

welcome to this mailing list!

I would say that the overall setup should not be a problem for hydrogen. 
In my experience a USB soundcard with a midi input is far superior to 
those usb-midi cables, but this is (as always) a question of your 
budget.

I can imagine that you could get better answers regarding the 
perfomance-tuning of your systems either on the Linux audio users 
mailing list (https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user) or 
on the linuxmusicians forum (https://linuxmusicians.com).

Hope that helps,
Sebastian
