Kara, 64studio is likely the "better" audio processing distribution, but I have high hopes that Ubuntu Studio will mature and improve over time. Plus, its quirky behavior tends to guide me toward the more capable audio tools - probably a good thing. If I had 64studio up and running, I'd likely have every oddball audio application there is, deployed in an ultra-weird set-up, and then eventually have to scrap it all to go with the more conventional tools  Somehow I think we're all better off, as it stands.... |

Another possibility has come to light... Ardour will record and mix, JAMin will master..... but as far as computer music creation is concerned, Rosegarden and those very capable Linux synthesizers leave me uninspired. Enter Jackbeat, a JACK client that seems to perform well in Ubuntu Studio. Sample some audio, plug it into Jackbeat, arrange the samples, and set the tempo. I get to create (record, EQ, effect) the audio samples, so the sound is uniquely mine - and I'm working with audio (which I know), not MIDI (which I can't seem to get excited about). Interfaces effectively with Jackrack and Meterbridge. Sort of like my own Linux band-in-a-box.  |

Sounds like a good solution to me  Pretty simple setup, stable and flexible. Now let's hear some of those sounds k |

The first few samples I'll record and edit in Audacity. Then switch over to Ardour... I hope to have something recorded and sequenced by Thursday  |

Just spent an evening with Ardour. Heavy going  Rather than rely upon Audacity, I've begun recording the source sounds (all from my trusty guitar) that will be effected and edited into samples for JackBeat sequencing. Drum (percussion) and bass samples will come from guitar sounds, all appropriately EQed and pitch-shifted in Ardour to provide me with a custom-created pallette of audio material from which I'll assemble backing tracks. At least, that's the plan.... |

Ardour is a bit heavy when you start with it, a lot of possibilities and you have to find your way trough the wood But once you get the picture it is a powerfull application. Looking forward to hear the results k |

I have been following all this Linux business. Good on y'all for digging into it.

Very impressive.

Hmmm.
I wonder if it's time I flexed my fingers and tapped in some of the installation tricks I've learned over the last few years.

I second that emotion... There could be a lot of folks who would benefit from such an effort, as Linux will undoubtedly become a popular O/S here at Kara-Moon. |

Uhh, Ohhh... Will I never learn to keep my big mouth shut OK, I'll see what I can put together. I'm not sure how much detail I should include. Are we aiming at total newbies or people who already dipped their toes in the water? I think maybe do it in parts, and when people tell me they don't understand something, I should modify the original text, rather than have alterations scattered down a thread. How does that sound? |

I'm not sure how much detail I should include. Are we aiming at total newbies or people who already dipped their toes in the water? What if you wrote the article especially for people who have Windoze DAW experience, and want to migrate to LINUX?? ..that seems like a good focal point. I think maybe do it in parts, and when people tell me they don't understand something, I should modify the original text, rather than have alterations scattered down a thread.
I think this is going to be a very important tutorial..and it will gather more popularity in the near future as more and more people get a clue. I would like to see it be a contiguous article that can be made sticky at the beginning of the appropriate board. Just my 2 cents, Wyatt |
