Re: [Osw-users] first impressions

The answer is mileage varies depending on hardware, OS version, system
configuration, etc.  For my own work (which includes live performance), the
windows version has been extremely stable of late, running for multiple
hours w/o a crash.  Latency under windows depends on the audio device and
driver you are using - my general sense has been I can get around 20-30ms
gesture-to-output latency with unsophisticated DirectSound drivers using
Win2K or WinXP (I don't recommend an earlier version of Windows).

Could you provide me your OS, CPU and soundcard info, as well as an example
patch that crashes or causes the high latency?  This would be extremely
helpful.

The Linux version has more promise in my opinion for consistent low-latency
performance.  I get lower latency w/ Linux + ALSA, but occasionally the OSW
linux interface flakes out - others have had different experiences and may
wish to comment further.

Thanks.
