Don't cargo cult jack if you don't need it.
Use jack IFF you want to piece together a signal chain of various disparate low-latency applications.
If you just want to use a single low latency audio application, then just use alsa.
- praash 5y agoThis is good advice for Linux-native applications, since jackd would be using ALSA anyway. Wine applications may suffer from extra latency (40+ ms) when using ALSA directly, because Wine's ALSA driver uses hidden additional buffers. Using WineASIO with Jack will get around this, but setup can be painful.
