Thanks. Yeah, the other was light weight, but not like DietPi. I'm using LXDE....it's supposed to be "Highly optimized, ultra lightweight".....I rekon they mean kinda smallish. I'm also setting it up with Plex media server. Kinda going overboard since I can just ssh to a RPi that contains music files and then play them with mocp.....which is what I've been doing, but Plex can do more....I can also store my photos. Access Plex from my SmartTV ....kinda cool. -

EXCELLENT Sunrat....TY! Maybe the biggest take from all that information is that "A few xruns are to be expected, mainly just when loading files or plugins. Should be minimal or zero when playing or recording." I have that now, in my current setup, using DrumGizmo to capture MIDI and convert to analog prints. I guess I was spoiled with my old setup, which was a stock Lubuntu that I added KX Studio Repos and configured to taste. That setup never had xruns, with no tweaking. So for me, THAT was the expected behavior; but you're telling me that was exceptional behavior. And the xruns I'm noticing now aren't showing up during playback/recording runs.....they're showing up during Plugin loads/activations and change of settings. Sounds like IF that's the case, THAT is somewhat to be expected? My CPU is a Ryzen 5, with a discrete ATI soundcard. I can't remember, but I may be bypassing that soundcard for the onboard with the Ryzen 5. Nevertheless, I'll run down some of your suggestions because I do want it to be the best it can be...even if tests confirm it's already there, I'll want to know that! Since I'm using Ryzen, sounds like I can skip the C-states, and focus on threadirq and mitigation. I am using the PA > Jack > ALSA setup...no pipewire (although looking forward to the day when it's the default in Debian!) Since all hardware is IDENTICAL (remember, I just pulled my OLD drives, put new drives in and reinstalled, with no hardware changes whatsoever!) I made my Cadence settings in the new Debian exact clones of my old settings in Lubuntu. Those Cadence settings include default settings on the Engine tab, and the Network tab isn't being used. My Driver tab uses ALSA, with settings of 44100 sample rate (good enough for CDs, good enough for me), buffer of 256, and 2 periods/buffer; collectively yielding 5.8ms of latency. BTW....this matches the latency on my dedicated drum station/windows laptop using ASIO driver. My MIDI driver is ALSA Raw-MIDI. Any settings that catch your eye that COULD be better? Reading forums, I'm seeing suggestions that 3 periods/buffer would be better, but I'm not clear WHY. What are your thoughts and advice? TIA Sunrat! -

Excellent! so much for the "not enough RAM" theory, though. what desktop did you install? That start menu icon looks like LXDE, but i thought you said LXDE wasn't an option? -

Greetings all. I finally got a desktop installed on the Dietpi. I put it on the one RPi4 that has only 1gb of ram. The problem I was having was, one of the sites it goes to when getting packages for a desktop, would always leave me with an error: I should have done this before, but with a simple google search, I found the simple solution. On the Dietpi, I had to $ sudo nano /etc/hosts then add the following at the end of the line 185.199.108.133 raw.githubusercontent.com That did the trick. So now I can use this RPi4 with the radio stuff and the RPi4 w/ 4gb, I'll find something else to use it for. -
