Linux-workstation and music... ANY experience???


Guest

Recommended Posts

Any LINUX users around???

I have seriously been considering changing my set into a Linux-system.... the problem.... well ONE of the problems is that I really don't KNOW enough about Linux hardware-support and stuff like THAT and are there even good sequencer progs for Linux... ALL the programs for accounting and finance seem to be very well taken care of , but what about MUSIC???

So ... if ANYONE has some knowledge in that departement.... TELL ME....Please!!!

I am SICK and tired working with WINDOWS... I have had  Win 98, Win 98 SE, and now I have Win ME and they ALL either have had some serious BUGS, OR it is one of Window's "properties" that every SINGLE time You are in the middle of something important, the OS crashes and You ...

A: Lose a half days work...

B: Lose half of the file You were just downloading...

C: Lose Your "lunch"....

Thank You in advance... maybe You can steer me into the right direction!

Bye, Y'all!!!

H.H.   ::)

2 years ago I came home from a gig and wanted to wind down by killing a few monsters on runescape only to discover that my Windows XP had succumbed to a Virus. After 2 weeks of trying to fix it an tearing my hair out I installed and startedusing Ubuntu linux. I have now upgraded to a version called Ubuntu Studio. This is designed for low latency Music. Video and Graphics production and offers a variety of great software for that purpose.

I had tried Cubase and It didn't work well with XP on my system. I also used Acid studio and that was better, but I had latency issues trying to mix down more that 4 tracks.

Ubuntu studio offers Ardour which is a sophisticated Multitrack music editing program comparable to Pro Tools. Using Ardour on my 8 year old Dell box I was able to mix a ten track composition using 2 or 3 plugins on each track with very little latency, far better that the software i ran in XP on the same machine.

Ubuntu Studio also offers Hydrogen, which is a great drum sequencer, Rosegarden Midi sequencer and Jack which allows connections between the different softare and Hardware resources of your computer, olong with a variety of other music software.

I Highly recommend Ubuntu Studio. Also you can boot Ubuntu from a CD without installing it so you can check out the features, and it cam be installed on a Windows computer without disrupting the Windows installation (it will configure a partition on your hard drive) and offer you the choice to boot into Linux or Windows.

Check it out!
