Hi all - I'm a musician, and Ubuntu user. Back in my Mac days I was really "in to" using my computer for Music creation - mostly midi sequencing and some audio recording. I've also done a bit on Windows, but it's been a while, and I'm just thinking of getting back into it some* -* it was a great hobby for me then.
I do have some concerns though - Is Ubuntu Studio to "specialized" to also be useful for a general use workstation? I also use VMware Workstation heavily for my job, and from what I've read the RT kernel will only HELP me there, so I'm thinking I should be OK.
Anyone have an opinion otherwise?
Thanks in advance!

In general the rt-kernel can be used for everyday work just as well,
the main concern would be, to my very limited knowledge, security,
because the kernel isn't that widely tested. It also consumes more
power.
You could add the normal kernel any time and just need that if you
don't need the realtime capabilities.
It shouldn't be a problem in any case.
Best Regards,
Philipp

You could just add the studio packages to a regular ubuntu install. I did, works fine.

I do the same, and I have VMware Workstation installed.
I only boot into the rt kernel when doing music work, though for midi
editing and about 80% of the audio tasks that I do, I don't need the rt
kernel.

You don't "need" it but there is no downfall of using it either.

Exactly. I use it all the time on a couple Ubuntu PCs I have. No problems.

I build my own kernels which are very recent, so the VMware modules
sometimes don't build against an rt patched kernel. I build both rt and
non-rt kernels btw.
That and rt kernels are still a tad bit flakey on my laptop. This is
the last time I buy HP
