Thanks a lot for sharing, I think this can be a good basis for my own use. I prefer from far this, compared to an ubuntuization of my environment (not that it isn't good, but I've got CentOS everywhere here, simplifies maintenance since I'm happy w/ it). My own Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface is well recognized by the 4.9.75-204.el7.centos.x86_64 kernel (I'm stuck w/ this version because of other hardware issues), I feel lucky! Q: you didn't opt for a low-latency kernel, did you? Q: you didn't consider adding audacity to this copr? Maybe you don't use it. Not that it's complicated to build, but the 2.3.x versions bring interesting fixes compared to the 2.1.x from EPEL (I compiled it from the sources) - including fixes for the UI and stability issues. Q: I noticed 3 fails at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/arrfab/DAW-7/packages/, should I care?
