I can play the piano straight through audacity, turned on playthrough, and no noticeable latency. That's better than MacOSX 10.11 which is currently installed on the SSD.
I'll post the QSI here in case it's useful, and I'll be back if I need help. I just couldn't keep this to myself. IMPRESSIVE. Why? Because I tried to install and configure JACK on my beloved MX Linux box, and gave up. Says here it's pre-configured. SOLD!
Remember kids -- right-click in Linux on Mac trackpads is just a 2-finger click.
