Because I don't want to run hardware that needs to operate in realtime over a USB 2.0 connection through a VM. I have digital turntables with high-resolution platters. These are precision instruments that require the absolute lowest DPC latency obtainable; I need to eliminate as much overhead as I can, and have my equipment running as close to the bare metal as I can get from a modern OS.

What kind of music do ya play?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Open format, so literally anything and everything. I go entirely by audience reaction when deciding what to play. But mostly I like happy songs with a party vibe.

You sound like someone I would love to see play!

If you're interested, you can listen to some of my old shows from when I was a radio DJ. Haven't uploaded in awhile, though (fucking copyright).

Ooooo yes I would love that. Bookmarked for next time I work. I skipped around and as a lover of EDM, trance, HHC, Dn’B, and all stuff like that, I think what you okay is right up my alley.

Not sure if you're using a desktop or laptop (unclear if you're doing DJ stuff for mixing privately or gigging on the road), but hardware passthrough through something like SR-IOV would make latency a non-issue.

However, I get what you're saying. I was more thinking of the "I want to run this on a legacy operating system for as long as I can" aspect of things. Eliminating the concern of the hardware no longer supporting a more modern operating system was what I was trying to get at. Sorry if that didn't come through.
