It is now included in the same directory as the iso.

Very interesting. :D

Are these software included?
- Qsynth (the GUI front-end for fluidsynth)
- Jack Time Machine
- Jamin
- LADSPA effects
- Rosegarden

cheers!

Yes.

On my PC, the best latency I can get consistently running regular Ubuntu Studio in real-time with the lowlatency kernel is 21.3 ms.

On the same machine, using "Puppy Edition" in realtime mode, I can achieve latencies as low as 2.9 ms.

Thanks. I agree that Ubuntu Studio proper is bloated, but I don't agree that the programs listed above are useless, because that's what I use and I find them useful :D

Anyway, good luck.

The best way to add the bloatware is to make it available as a separate .SFS file.

Keep the original ISO clean and crap-free.


Now where is synth to optimize this puppy? :D

He has done an excellent job with Turbopup Xtreme (extremely low latency without needing a real-time kernel). If we could incorporate all those optimisations into Puppy Studio (Ubuntu Studio Puppy Edition), this puppy would rock even harder :)

Thanks, but it doesn't need synth's "optimizations". Ubuntu Studio "Puppy Edition" already achieves extremely lowlatency realtime recording right out of the box.

I'm out of town right now, but when I get back in a couple weeks I'll see about adding more apps, etc.

I'd like to get Line6 usb support working. (I have a .deb that I made using alien that works great in Ubuntu.)

Does Ubuntu Studio Puppy Edition come with FFADO drivers ?

That's really bad :( No FAT32 support = no go.
(I use FAT32 partitions exclusively with Puppy for compatibility with Windows).

EXT2 has bad performance under Windows (needs a third-party driver) and NTFS is risky (+ has bad performance) under Linux. FAT32 = best of both worlds.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! That's exactly the sort of thing I need to know.

As for the FFADO drivers, yes it does, but at present you have to type "modprobe raw1394" to get them to work (thanks mrufino1). If someone knows how to fix this, let me know!

I'm not sure why OpenShot is acting that way for aarf; it works over here. (Can anyone else confirm this?) I installed that using a different tutorial; maybe I can adjust it or reinstall.

Again, thanks for the feedback! :D

Like I said, I'm out of town right now, so I can't do anything. But, God willing, I will correct these issues in the near future, and provide the features you expect.

(On another note - big thanks to russoodle for hosting Ubuntu Studio "Puppy Edition" on his ftp server! Download details updated in original post.)

Bravo !!

You did a great work with rt kernel!! I only tested audio side of your puppy , seems as fine as Ubuntustudio for latency.
I dont use vst or reaper , but it look like a complete audio/midi software...
...cheap ,but ,licence related...sniff...
I am a Muse sequencer fan , small fast stable +synths ,fx ,soundfonts ,basic audio recording/editing all in one package,even vst is support possible .
I agree with panzer , sfs way of adding software/dependencies is pretty cool and clean.
Lashstudio is a great exemple of sfs for musician , it did not wanted to run on synth Turbopup.. ...re sniff...Maybe Marius could fit his quick&dirty lashstudio for that puppy?
On the other hand adding/removing .deb package is easy enought. Been able to run Zynaddsubfx ,Muse of course.., sooperlooper ,+puppy's openoffice sfs , blender sfs , no big problem yet .
Firefox loaded with add-ons is slowwww ...on my laptop... but easy to cleanup..but still slow a bit.
Got strange behaviour from the battery applet details window stuck over everything..anyone else?
I supposed it is by purpose that no lid acpi function or power button link to something?

Long life to this Puppy !!!!
Thanks for your work. Keep it up >-< >-< >-<[/b]

Hi, 2 things about puppy studio- actually 3...
1. GREAT JOB, seems very fast and pretty stable, from initial tests.
2. synth had led me through ffado and all that on puppy 3.41, getting it to run reaper and it did that pretty well considering my limited hardware at the time. ffado did work though with no issues, I think all of the steps and packages are still on the reaper forum post, although I'm not sure if it would work the same on the new puppy
3. The only issue I had was with graphics- my screen had a dark purple shade to it, I am running an ibm t60, which I believe is an ati card for graphics. I found the link and downloaded the ati drivers synth hooked me up with a while ago, would this hopefully solve the issue?
Again, GREAT job, looking forward to seeing this mature.

Thanks guys! :D

I'm hoping the next release will be much better. As for the graphics problem, a quick Internet search suggests that you do indeed have an ATI card, so it stands to reason that installing the ATI drivers would help. (Although I have installed ATI drivers in Ubuntu in the past, and it was quite a pain! Hopefully the fact that Lucid Puppy uses Ubuntu packages won't mean the same for you.)
