Hi all,

I have an issue where the input latency that i can record music at increases when I connect my USB mic. I already have one USB interface connected and the latency sits at 2.6ms but when I connect the second device it increases to 4.0ms.

Could someone help me with this please? As I understand, only the sample rate and buffer size should affect the latency. How can two different devices have different latencies with all other settings remaining unchanged?

system info

this is some of /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf

here's the audio routing

this is what my Digital Audio Workstation (reaper) is saying while the RØDE is plugged in. with the RØDE unplugged it's indentical except the 4.0 becomes 2.6

The GT-1000 device gives me 2.6ms on the input and the output, the "Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)" also gives me 2.6 on the output (and 0.0ms on the input for some reason).
The "RØDE NT1 5th Gen Mono" (which I have connected via the USB cable not the XLR) gives me 4.0 ms.

thanks for reading this far and thanks in advance for any help/advice

EDIT: something else that just occured to me was that this mic is able to record at 32 bit. The WAVs that I get in reaper are only 24 so, if anyone knows how to change that (presumably it's a system thing, not a reaper thing) please do tell...

thanks

Hi all,

I have a teensy tiny little problem that isn't really a problem at all and it doesn't even bother me, but I tried changing it and I couldn't fix it and that bothers me a lot. So if anyone could help me learn how to fix this, I would be very grateful.

I used to use Ubuntu and when moving a window it would change the cursor to a dot with four arrows. Seen below.

Now however, I get a closed hand instead and I can't figure out how to switch it to the other cursor.

I've tried switching the theme, the cursors, and X11 has the same issue.

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find this anywhere, please do do show me in the right direction if I've missed something.

I used to use musescore 3 for ages and it had everything I needed - almost. The more recent versions seem like dumbed down disasters and they are very dissonant with my workflow. Call me stubborn but I'm going to stick to musescore 3. Only problem is, I need a good dark mode for in musescore 3 and I just can't find anything that turns not just the menus, but the score too, into a nice soft dark theme. Before I spend hours trying to manually update the configuration files with hexcodes, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of an easier solution.

And please don't tell me to update to a newer version with score invert functionality. I would rather read through the code and make my own custom version than learn an entirely new workflow.

Hi all,

I grew up on Windows, got fed up with it, and switched to Ubuntu since that seemed the most logical choice. I liked it, but I ran into some problems and think it would be good to get some other opinions.

I don't mind doing a bit of techy stuff, but I'm not interested in using the terminal just for the sake of saying I'm an Arch user. I will mainly use an audio production program called REAPER, a browser, and Krita. What's important to me is very low audio latency and general stability. I don't need the most up-to-date software; I want something that I set up once and then it just works with minimal maintenance—even if the initial setup is a bit of a faff.

I liked Ubuntu—especially the Ubuntu Studio version—but I've never tried anything else. Before installing the "same old, same old" on my new computer (I haven't touched a desktop all year), I thought I'd ask for some opinions.

Would you recommend staying with Ubuntu Studio, or are there better options given my needs?
