Hello from Naples

Post by lucapette »

Hi all,
My name is Luca ( as you can see in my very original nick LOL) and i use Linux since university. I work professionally with Ubuntu and open source software and am a very (but not so good :) ) passionate guitarist. I'll try to follow this community as best as i can, i really appreciate this initiative and I'm glad to be here :)

Hey Luca, welcome aboard!

What music software do you usually use on Ubuntu?

At this moment, i use ubuntu as a desktop computer and then i use software like rhytmhbox for listening. I'd like to use linux to record my guitar songs. I'm going to buy a new laptop an external firewire audio device, so i have to do many choices in the next months. Now, i'm on an Ubunutu Studio and one of mine biggest doubt is the distro i want to use. I need many suggestions and i think i've just found the right place to ask them :D .

At the moment, UbuntuStudio 9.10 seems to be the way to go. I just hope they get their repositories more up-to-date, e.g. include jack2 and the latest ardour.

64 Studio is another good one. 3.0 beta 3 is the most current, and very stable for being beta.

It is based on Ubuntu Hardy, but has its own repo for a newer kernel and audio/video production software.
