Planet CCRMA

Planet CCRMA (pronounced karma) is a collection of Red Hat packages ( RPMs ) to help set up and optimize a Red Hat-based workstation for audio work.

Overview

The entire environment, called Planet CCRMA, was developed and tested at Stanford University and made available to the public free-of-charge from a central repository — Planet CCRMA at Home [1] The Planet CCRMA repositories are maintained at CCRMA by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano.

Installing the packages, transforms a Linux workstation or server into a low-latency system for sound and video production and distribution. The ALSA soundcard drivers and other applications are provided without installation hassles and the low-latency is achieved by having applied the real-time preemption patch to the Linux kernel.
