Hi all,
I recently swapped from windows to linux and am familiarising myself with the music production abilities of ubuntu. Unfortunately i've been running into a lot of problems that i don't know how to deal with. Currently i'm setting up studio ubuntu and hopefully i'll have more luck, but don't be surprised if you find a lot of noob questions coming from my way
I'm interested in all music and music production. Ranging from orchestral arrangement to ambient glitch and circuit bending, I live for music despite the fact that I suck at it
Also if anyone can suggest a better music OS than studio ubuntu (preferably a user friendly one) that would be great. I recently tried Musix but couldn't get the sound working, which kind of put a spanner in the works...
Anyways

Re: Hey
Hey chimples,
welcome
There is much hype about specialized distros - dont take this too serious. What is really important:
1.) well supported hardware (your audio-interface that is, MAudio and RME-PCI-cards are strongly recommended, most others work too but you should check, wheather you interface is supported by alsa)
2.) capable RT-kernel. Ubuntu-Studio has a good one, 64Studio as well, for OpenSuse you can get a very good one from the jengelh-repo, Fedora works with the CCRMA-kernel.
All the apps such as Ardour, jackd, Rosegarden, LV2-plugins etc etc etc are available for all distros,
For big-orchestra-works there is a project geared exactly in this direction:
http://www.artistx.org/site2/
it is not actually there yet but may become the package of your choice before long
