Linux Audio Recording

[angelicrock]

Not sure if any of you are computer nerds like me, but if you are and you like free audio recording software check out Musix. It is a GNU Linux distro designed for audio/video and graphic design. It is completely free along with every application it uses. You can load it from a CD so you can try it out before installing. The quality is actually pretty good so if you are on a budget, you might want to check it out.

Try "Ubuntu Studio" for linux recording, I use to use it but my audio driver was horrible....
Their are Linux distros out their for audio recording, next time Im on linux ill try that.

I'm going to try Ubuntu Studio soon as I just moved to an analog mixer and a linux supported sound card.

One thing I enjoy on the XP side are all the loops and etc. available in acid or other formats ---- can these be used in any of the recording software on Ubuntu ??

Not sure about acid if you have paid software use it. Linux is a totally different world (has it advantages and disadvantages, mainly being windows software support) However I run a server so I have experience in it. Both RPM and DEB style systems (Ubuntu is a DEB short for Debian package system)
Ubuntu deploys 'Ardour' and 'Audacity' for music recording.
Ardour is here
http://ardour.org/
due note it is not supported on a Windows Platform.

If you know how to partition a HDD, you can try that so you will have both windows and ubuntu to try out.
Ubuntu has a program called 'Wubi' which you get when you download ubuntu that will set up a virtual hard drive using Windows NTFS system. Basically you have a dual boot system that is easier to manage but ubuntu wont be as native fast but I wouldn't think their be much of a slow down.

Sorry if you didnt understand this post.
