Thinking of installing Ubuntu Studio

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.

|     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.
