I’ve been working on optimizing USB audio performance on my Raspberry Pi 3. After some trial and error, I decided to switch to Raspbian Lite. I initially tried Patchbox OS for several days, but eventually switched to Raspbian Lite, where I was finally able to achieve adequate performance without audio glitches. I documented my journey to help others facing similar challenges.
You can find the full guide here: GitHub Link. It covers everything from preparing the SD card and installing MODEP to optimizing USB audio performance, configuring JACK, and setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot for remote access. You’ll also find steps for improving system stability, adding a power button, and even setting up an activity LED.
